Ac- cording to Homer Grafton, secretary of the Students Christian association, there are more students of the univer- sity who signified their intention of joining, and who could not get to this meeting, so that there is a possibility of a second initiation being held in the near future. Dean Effinger was the principal speaker at the cere- monies Sunday night. Herrmann was called upon by Mayor Thompson to sort out the distasteful ones. The books were public property, paid for by taxation, and their des- truction would deprive him of ob- taining a different viewpoint in his- torical and other data, Bohaz petioned, and, since the books have been in the library for a long time, no substantial injury would be done by enjoining destruction of them. Chief of -the library, Carl B. Roben, today expressed his wish that the books found objectionable might be sequestered but saved, but Herrmann said that another city administration might deem fit to restore them to cir- culation and to prevent such a thing they would be burned. The only books supposed to be in the municipal library, according to Frederick Rex, librarian, deal with municipal affairs, but he began delv- ing through his shelves to see if the monster propaganda might be lurking even there.
