Michigan's law lbrary is not the lar-
gest nor the best one of its kind in
the country, but is considered one of.
the most practical. The library oc-
cupies the south part of the second
floor of the law building and consists
of one large room in which most of,
the books are stacked, where the stu-
dents find seats for study, and some
smaller rooms devoted to faculty
study, consultation room, and reserve
stacks.
Inthe main room of the library are
placed the books which are in cus-
tomary use. One of the best features
of this library is that the students are
given free access to all of the books in
it. The books are placed on shelves
surrounding the room and stacks on
the south side.
Contains Reports of Foreign Courts
The stock of books contained in this
library consists, in all, of 35,000 vol-
umes. This includes all of the pub-
lished reports of the courts of last
resort of every state, most of those of
intermediate appellate courts, federal
courts, and from the courts of Eng-
land, Scotland, Ireland and British
colonies. An extensive collection has,
been made of the text books of Eng-,
land and America. Practically all of
the English and American legal peri-
odicals are in the library.1
Library Recipient of Many Gifts
Numerous persons have made the
library gifts of their private libraries,
among them are the following: The1
Hon. Christian H. Buhl, of Detroit, the
Hon. Samuel T. Douglas, former jus-
tice of the supreme court of Michigan,
the heirs of the Hon. Thomas M. Cool-
ey, former chief justice of the supreme
court of Michigan, and O. H. Dean, of
Kansas City, Mo.
No books are allowed to be taken
from the library, and no system of
over-night leave is used. The stu-
dents are required to read the books;
in the reading room, which is fur-
nished wwith enough swivel chairs and
reading tables to accommodate 200,
persons.
Adapted For Practical Work 1
Not all of the volumes which the
library possesses are in the library±
room. Some are duplicated and trip-
licated. Duplicates are reserved in the
stock rooms or loaned to faculty men
for use in their offices. The library
committee is composed of faculty;
members and has the complete charge
of all matters pretaining to its ad-,
ministration. Its policy has been to
acquire the books which are used most
and are of most value to a practical
knowledge of the law. Few unique
collections have been made nor is
much attention given to those of prec-;
ious nature and of old age. However,;
one set has' been collected of consid-
erable value, that of Blackstone's
"Commentaries" in the first 20 succes-
sive editions.
Graduating Classes Present Portraits
For many years in the past it has
been the custom of the graduating
class to present the library with the

portrait of some professor. The col-
lection now consists of the pictures
of 21 professors. All have been painted
by prominent artists and cost as high

as $500 each. They form the princi-
pal means of decoration in the lib-
rary, being hung on the walls above
the cases of books. .Among the pic-
tures are those of President H. B. Hut-
chins, Dean H. M. Bates, and nine of
the professors now in the teaching
force of the law faculty.+
The reading room is open for use3
12 hourfs every day, from 8 o'clock
to 12:00 o'clock, from 1:00 o'clock
to 6:00 o'clock, and from 7:00 o'clock
to 10:00 o'clock.,

Pflans have been started at the iii-
versity of Illinois for the erection of a
campus theatre, in which to give thO
various entertainments staged by the
many organizations on the campus.
At the conference held recently by
over a score of campus organizations,
the need was emphasized for a small
theatre or auditorium, with a seating
capacity of from 80 to 1,000 people,
to be equipped with a stage adequate
for the production of the dramatic
performances given by the various lit-
erary societies and clubs of the uni-
versity.
'In a recent report of the registrar
of the University of Illinois, it was
pointed out that 89 per cent of the
students attending the university are
church members, thus tending to dis-
prove the current conception that uni-
versities are irreligious. According
to the statistics, Illinois has the sec-
ond largest number of undergraduate
men of any university who are church
members, Michigan being trst and
Wisconsin third.
