Brown of Kansas City, a member of the Class of '17, of a set of war maps, a number of war time newspapers, and letters collected by him during his service in the World War. Dr. J. Sterling Kingsley, Professor of Zoology, Emeritus, offers us his library, consisting of books and pamphlets on zoology, which he will send to the University in the summer. Professor Kingsley will leave on a trip around the world in August, and has offered to collect rare zoological specimens for shipment to the University.

On motion of Mrs. Evans, this authority was granted.
