The Illinois Library Association ric t at the University at the same time so that many of the Alumni of the School were present. A number of other well known librarians Kme down for the occasion. W For over ten years Mr. Windsor has spent his best efforts working pith the architects to secure a building which would have the beautiful End monumental features which a great library should have and at the Erne time to secure commodious working quarters for the Staff and lor the School, and plenty of room for the future expansion of the Library building. All those who have seen the new building feel that he has succeeded admirably in his purpose and the Library is already a Mecca for those who are planning new university library buildings. The School is located on the third floor. There is a large study room, a smaller seminar room for graduate students, offices of the faculty and comfortable class rooms, though all the class rooms are not on the same floor. The retirement of President Kinley at the end of this year will be a matter of interest and regret to all. During his administration he has constantly supported the Library and the Library School and has seen both develop into strong departments of the University. His personal interest in making the changes by which a master's degree is given to second year students will always be gratefully remembered. While his official responsibility may cease we know that he will continue his interest in the School and its Alumni. Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase has been appointed as his successor. You have, for the most part, received the Illinois Alumni News which was mailed out to all graduate Alumni as an announcement of his appointment, so that you are informed as to his past achievements and the high opinion in which he is held in educational circles. As loyal Alumni, we will be ready to welcome him and to pledge him our support and cooperation in making his administration a great success.
