Excerpt from Seminary Libraries and University Extension One of the pleasantest features of our seminary meetings in Heidelberg was the weekly display Of new books, mono graphs, pamphlets, and other publications which were sent to our professor from his book - seller for examination by the students before and after the regular seminary exercises. In this way young men were made familiar with current his torical literature. The professor's comments upon this or that author, his past or present work, were usually very instructive. Such conversation was an agreeable dessert after a somewhat jejune meal of medimval Latin. Ideas were exchanged by the students upon books which they had already read or examined. Useful suggestions were thrown out by the professor in a kindly, helpful way, and the sym posium usually broke up in a very cheerful state of mind.
