An Exhibition of Material About Colleges Students who have not yet decided which college they wish to attend will be interested in an exhibition of material concerning colleges, technical schools, and universities, which the Library has arranged with the idea of collecting the information in one place where the relative merits of various institutions can be compared, and the student have a chance to see which ones offer what suits his or her needs. The collection includes catalogues, student publications of various kinds, prospectuses, and pictures. A similar exhibition last year attracted many students and proved very helpful. The exhibition this year opened on the twenty-third of May and will continue to the end of July. It is to be found in the north wing of the Lending Room in the main building.
