1. Books of the Reference Collection are not to be removed from
the Library, but may be freely consulted at the tables. All bound
magazines are classed as reference books.

Books in current use in connection with the courses of instruction
will be temporarily placed on the shelves of the Reference Collection,
and will then be subject to the above rule.

Works of special value or specially liable to injury on account of
their rarity, illustrations, etc., are not to be removed from the Library,
except by permission.

New periodicals cannot be borrowed within two weeks after they
are placed on the shelves.

2. The Librarian is required to make an entry of every book removed
from the Library with the time when the same is to be returned.

3. Students may borrow books upon the following terms:

No student can have more than three volumes at the same time.

Each book must be returned by the borrower within two weeks
from the date of its withdrawal. The loan may be renewed unless
another person entitled to the books has signified his need of it.

Ten cents a volume will be charged for each day that a volume
remains unreturned after the two weeks for which it was withdrawn.

a contingent deposit of $15, against which may be assessed any
charges for loss or injury of books.

7. The Librarian is charged with the general duty of maintaining
order in the Library, preserving the room and its contents from damage
and reporting to the Bursar any fines and penalties which may
have to be enforced.
