Philippine Statutes Saskatchewan Statutes Shepard’s Citations for Arkansas, Montana and Tennessee Spain, Civil Code and Procedure United States SupremehCourt Briefs Gifts During the year there were 200 volumes received as gifts.

In October 1930 a gift of $1501,08 was received from Mr, Myron G, Baylor for the purpose of bringing down to date the publications of the League of Nations that were owned by the University.

This gift was made with the understanding this set of publications should be transferred to the New Law Library when Myron Taylor Hall was completed.

Considerable of this material has been secured und is being arranged for cataloguing.

However, many of the items are reported as "out of print" and "out of stock" which has delayed the binding of the parts, standing orders and back orders have secured many of the necessary items.
