Some features are lacking, and some which are included are not just as we expected them to be. Were we ever to have charge of another College publication, — a thing from which may all the fates preserve us! — we trust we should know how to manage affairs, — and some persons better. But peace. Muse! thy labor is over and done; it is now the part of the friends of Marietta College to purchase this book, which we trust they will find of interest and value to them. We desire to thank all who have helped in any way to make the book a success. Particular thanks are due to the Faculty Censor, for his tireless efforts in our behalf.

In truth, however, even as the college wasi the inheritor and conservator of two or more educa-< tional institutions, so the library inherited from these institutions a goodly beginning. In December 1834, before the charter creating Marietta College had been granted, the trustees gave to Prof. Henry Smith leave ot absence on salary, from the first of July 1835 to the first of November 1836 for the purpose of study in Europe. His departure was delayed until the summer of 1836 and meanwhile efforts were being made to secure funds for books and apparatus. Just at this time, and veryl opportunely as well as very unexpectedly, there came to the college the first large gift of money for books, $1000. The story of this gift is interesting from beginning to end, if we can be said to have reached the end. Samuel Stone, a hard working farmer of Townsend, Mass., having been, as the quaint phrase of time expresses it, "called sud-. denly to die," instead of making a will, left his property to the care of a few friends to be distributed in the manner which, in their judg­ ment, should best promote the "cause of religion." These friends must have been men farseeing and wise, for, believing that education and religion walk hand in hand, they gave $1000. to each of several colleges, directing that it must be spent for books. Marietta, then in her in­ fancy, was one of the recipients and the money was placed in the hand^ of Prof. Smith, then about to sail for Europe. According to the in­ structions given him he invested the sum in philological works. He, 18 NINETEEN AND NINE MARIETTANA himself, says of the purchase "These books were carefully selected, and purchased for the most part by personal attendance upon the great auction sales of Leipsic and Halle.
