the ordinance in reference to board should be so amended as
to permit them to change their boarding houses without requiring
them to give up their rooms. We referred their application
to the Faculty who advised that no change should be made in
the ordinance; we therefore declined to accede to their request. At the annual meeting of the Board of Visitors of the

a personal inspection of the Library, they find the Books well
