READING CENTER FOR REFERENCE President Roosevelt said, A war of ideas can no more be won without books than a naval battle can be Won without ships. The book itself is not a very formidable implement: it is a perpetuation of one of the four freedoms, the freedom of expression. It is with this great weapon that we of Tilden have armed ourselves in peace time as a requisite of success and it is with this Weapon that We again arm ourselves for war. Our extensive library, the arsenal of Tilden, has a host of these weapons. Volumes pertaining to aeronautics, engineering, engines and special pamphlets reporting the most recent developments in these fields, as well as the classics and the latest novels, are found in abundance. A fine library staff is headed by Miss Lois Rees, chief librarian replacing Miss Hedenbergh who left us after a long period of praise- worthy service to Tilden, Miss Rees is a graduate of the Univer- sity of Illinois where she received her bachelor's degree. She is capably assisted by Miss Taylor and Miss McCaffrey, who together with many efficient guards, provide the library with the attention necessary to maintain its postion as an arsenal in the War of ideas.
