by the University. The following courses are now available:

Boys; Course for Girls; 30 Books of Great Fiction; 30 World Heroes; American

Arrangements have been made with the Virginia State Library for persons
pursuing the Home Reading Courses to borrow the necessary books by paying
the cost of carriage each way. Application should be made to Dr. R. H. McIlwaine,
