If it is the intention of the Association to establish a Scholarship some steps must be taken to increase the fund more rapidly. A membership drive would be one way of accomplishing this purpose without hardship to anyone. Another wa; would be to establish a Life Membership. This membership could be for $25.00 or $50 payable in five years. It is possible that many members would like to be relieved of the task of paying yearly dues and be glad to make this contribution to a definite Scholarship Fund, only the interest on which would be used. The fact that this School is on a graduate basis rather increases the need for scholarships, for we must compete with other departments that have scholarships at their disposal and it is possible that a very promising student considering a Library course would finally decide on some other department because of the offer of a scholarship. That there is a real need for such a Scholarship has been shown by the continuous use of most of the available money in Loans. Six students have borrowed sums ranging from $100.00 to $400.00 and the money has always been repaid promptly. It may be of interest to know that the recipients of these Loans are all engaged in unusually successful Library work. Miss Simpson has a number of copies of the reproduction of the Katharine L. Sharp memorial tablet which she will be glad to send to any former students or graduates of the School who will write for them. A copy was sent last year to every subscriber to the 1'und, so far as addresses were available. If anyone has failed to receive a copy kindly inform Miss Simpson at the Library School' Office.
