"In the older days our College IIur'aI ‘
ies were main; of enjoyment intlwr'
than research. Down to about 18:41”;l
the Lrelli research ‘work of a university
so far so it consumed itself with
books. was chiefly done in the librar-
ies of the professors themselves or in
the special librarieHmnc times do
posited in the generalllbrsry building
of the university and some times not
«which enthusiast had.collccted for
particular purposes. There was 11 sep-
aration between the researches which
were being conducted at. a university,
whether by its profesoars or its stu-
dents. and the general administration
of the library. which it is today hard
to understand. .
“The last twanty years have witness-
ed a radical change in this respect.
The increasing number and variety of
the researches undertaken by the stu
dents has rendered the old-fashioned
departmental, library “inadequate as a
place for such research. and this need
of providing for advanced research on
a large scale has given the distinctive
characteristics to the university li.
brary development of today. It. is not
primarily a. collection of reading mat-
ter; it is an instrument of productive
activity.
"In fact. one or our great dangers
in the university today is that in our
useof books as instruments of re-
search we should forget their use as
means of enjoyment: just as in the
whole activity of our institutions of
learning, outside of the libraIies as
well as inside of them. there is some
times danger that in the struggle for
scientific discovery and professional
emclency We should forget the import-
