Through the courtesy of Mrs.
Brooks, the library of the late

several thousand pamphlets.
The largest recent single addi
tion to the book collection is the
extensive agricultural library of
1,500 bound volumes and numer
ous bulletins and reports origin
ally assembled at Sitka by Dr C.
t\ Geofgeson its Director of In
sular Stations, Department of
Agriculture. Transfer of this ma
terial to the University was ar

of Mr. Charles Floy. Commission
er of Agriculture for the Terri
lory. The collection consists of
reports of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, bulletins
and circulars, year-books and
miscellaneous publications, com
plete from their beginning to 1930.
The Mears collection of over
300 volumes of technical books
