Mormon Books Given to the Library—The Summer Session.

The library of Columbia University has just received an interesting collection of nine Mormon books, published by the "Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints," Lamoni, Iowa. The books deal with the doctrines, canons and the Scriptures as used by that church. The library already has a considerable collection of Mormon books, but these are by far the most valuable and interesting yet received.

A. P. Marble, formerly Superintendent of Education at Worcester, Mass., has presented to the library over seven hundred volumes and one thousand pamphlets. All deal with educational matters, and have been placed in Teachers College.

The announcement of the summer session has been published, and furnishes interesting details about the work to be pursued. The session will open on Thursady, July 5, and will continue until August 8. Thirty-three courses will be given, each course consisting of thirty lectures or other exercises, or their equivalents in laboratory or field work. The total expense involved in attendance upon the session, including board and tuition fee, is expected to fall below $80, and in no event need it exceed $100.
