The Headmaster's Study
(Continued from poge 4, col. 2) School and all that pertains to its well-being . His guiding hand has been of great help in finances and administration but above all in our efforts to uphold the standards of the School in every way, to make and keep it a place where boys may "in- crease in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." He has never missed an opportunity to make t h e School more widely known a n d he has been of great help in building up a healthy enrollment. He has been quietly responsible for several large gifts to the School. gifts which al- ways came to fill some definite and long-felt need. And his wise coun- sel has always been available when it was needed.
Canon law has prescribed the Bis- hop's retirement for age. But canon law cannot deprive him of his inter- est in man and God and we know that even in retirement he will find many opportunities to continue his long service to God and man. And we confidently believe that there will be no flagging of his interest in and affection for Virginia Episcopal School.

Essay
(Continued from poge 12, col. 3) Americans from representing them- selves as a living part of a vast or- ganization. It's not within their rights to confine or in any way frmrr the
growing desire for independence ap- parent in today's youtr:.
A license is a symbol, a symbol of maturity, a symbol of responsibility, of trust ... it can also be a premoni- tion of inconceivable grief and sor- row.

What's New In The Library The library has been very fortun-
ate in receiving 140 new books re- cently as a gift. The generous donor is Mr. Raymond A. Snow, the father of Mrs. Lee. Among the books given are I0 volumes of Rudyard Kipling, 16 volumes of James Whit- comb Riley, and a I0 volume pictorial history of the Civil War. The last set mentioned is a valuable addition to our under-booked library since it is now out of print. Another of Mr. Snow's gifts is Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia which is comprised of
16 volumes. This set gives a tremen- dous lift to our reference depart- ment.
Another valuable addition is the Cambridge Shorter Medieval His- tory, which was recently purchased.
The library under Messrs. Wyatt and Zettler has grown by 284 vol- umes. O f this number 80 volumes have been purchased. The remainder has been given by Frank and Mrs. H. Bynum, David Gawler, Carl Dela- grange, Barksdale Kizer, and Mr. Snow.
Some of the new additions are four novels by Gene Stratton Porter, two very amusing histories, Comic His- tory of England and Comic History of the United States, by Bill Nyes. Another book, which was made into a motion picture, is the ever popular Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Anita Loos. Two commentaries by Alexan- der, former Grand Duke of Russia, brings back the old world flavor. Or- well's 1984 is also a good book for
people with imaginations. It gives a horrible picture of the world of the future. W e have been extremely for- tunate in obtaining one copy of Larousse lllustrelle. This is a valuable French dictionary and is a welcomed addition to the reference depart- ment.
We can not tell all about the new books in the library; however, next month we will attempt to discuss some of the new books more fully.
