Bennett, LL.B. 1901 of Rockville Center, N.T.sent to Cornell University a check for $5,000* requesting "that it establish a fund, the income of which shall be used for the pnnohaae of statute unde law enacted twenty-five years or more prior to the purchase."

Bennett Collection of Statute Lav Since my last report, 160 volumes have been added to this department.

Binding and Repair During the year, 509 volumes have been bound and repaired.

Increase in

rice

Several of the current reports of both the domestic and foreign sets have advanced in price during the ast. few years. This is true of mddern statutes of the several states, and the old scarce Session Laws and Statutes. Late editions of some text books now have several volumes over the original publication, tills condition reduces in proportion the purchasing power of the annual appropriation, and should be con­ sidered in the next budget.

I wish to again thaak the Members of the Law Faculty for their cordial sup ort and cooperation.

Respectfully submitted,

Law Librarian
