not been in vain. The library has, at least, kept even pace with the marvellous growth of the University, and the more than 1,200 students, with their eighty-five instructors, who now throng the campus, still seek these shelves as did their predecessors, but in far greater proportion while the University management, apparently convinced with Carlyle that "the true university of our days is a collection of books," still hold out the existence of this library as one of the chief attractions of student life at the Wisconsin capital.
