In the period June i, 1952-March 30, 1953, the Friends
contributed in cash a total of $8,254.08. Of this, $3,329.08
was unrestricted and, with the exception of $896.99 unex¬

$4,925.00 was restricted for special purposes, and includes
$4,500.00 donated to the Libraries by a most generous anonymous
Friend.

In addition, there have been gifts by Friends of books and manu¬
