The Curia

days. It was then decided that, since the index was in an unsatisfactory state, every book in the Library should be thoroughly checked. We are now in the happy position of being able to say with every confidence that to every card there corresporids a book, and vice versa. The card indices have ceased to be a comprehensive list of missing books, and it is hoped that users will respect them.

To utilise every shelf of the somewhat limited accommodation, the sections have been rearranged. The English Literature has been separated from the Fiction, which is now contiguous to the Classics. However much it may offend a few, Thucydides is perilously close to Thackeray. The willing hands who engineered the project, and to whom the School is greatly indebted, were the five Library Monitors, ably assisted by Shaw, Dixon, Ankers, Smith, C.K., Murray, and several others.

The following new books were added in the course of the Summer Term:—

The Second World War, Vol. IV (2 copies)—Churchill. The York Cycle of Mystery Plays—ed. Purvis. York (2 copies)—John Rodgers (O.P.). The Ascendancy of France (2 copies)—Wakeman. A History of England—Teiling. This is York—Knight. The Earth's Crust—Stamp. Wch' Dem, Der Liigt !—Grillparzer. Science Model Making—Hopwood. Lectures, Experiments in Chemistry—Towles. Practical Organic Chemistry—Mee. Surface Chemistry—Alexander.

At the first meeting of the term D. G. Hilton and J. H. Chilman were elected as Chairman and Secretary respectively. Membership had fallen to 17 but it was not thought necessary to elect further members this term.

Owing to the General Certificate Examination it was found possible to arrange only three meetings. The second meeting took the form of a discussion in which we attempted to anwer the question of "What should be the Philosophy of the Young Man of Today?" J. T. Ankers opened the discussion which afforded a thought-provoking, and at 33
