WRIGHT TO SUCCEED LORD AS LIBRARIAN AT UNION

Mr. Joseph Wright, superintendent of the Bureau of Municipal Research, has been appointed librarian of the Union Library, to succeed Mr. M. E. Lord. Since 1899, Mr. Wright has been connected with the University Library, and since 1911, has held the position of superintendent of the Bureau of Municipal Research.

The Union Library now contains well over 15,000 books, as well as 40 periodicals and 38 daily newspapers from every section of the United States. This number will be added to continually by the library committee, through the use of a fund at its disposal. The books in the library are entirely for the pleasure of the Union members and in selecting new books the committee endeavors to follow out the policy of selecting useful works. No attempt is made to compete with any of the other University libraries.

On Wednesday next, the Union Library Committee meets to discuss plans for the coming year, and to elect new members to take the places of Professor Roy K. Hack, who has left the University, Bryant Prescott '21, F. W. MacVeagh '21, and H. S. Morgan '23, all of whom are no longer studying at Harvard. At present, the committee consists of the following members:

Professor George H. Chase '96, chairman, Professor Charles T. Copeland '82, H. F. Potter '24, B. M. Rice '24, Ernest Iselin '26, and Mr. Joseph Wright, secretary and librarian.
