In connection with the foregoing list
of gifts the following item, recently discovered
in the University Collegian, vol.
I, No. 2—November, 1838,—will be of
interest:

"Laudable Donation."

"We take pleasure in recording the
fact that a lot of valuable books has just
been presented to the University Library,
by Mr. Peter K. Skinker, who was but
lately a student at this institution. This
gentleman has now removed to the
West, and, in leaving the University,
wanted no such memorial as the present
to fix his name indelibly amongst us.

"The number of books presented is
nearly 50, of which many are extensive
folios, extremely valuable for their rarity.
Judging from this and other similar examples
recently set, we are confident of
a rapid increase of the Library for some
time to come."

The Collegian was a literary journal
published by the students of the University,
and was evidently the precursor of
the present magazine.
