Library growth certain as per capita ratio builds up LISTED in Who 's Who in America, Thomas Harding, WUis new librarian, came from Evans- ville College in Indiana where he had been head li- brarian for the past eighteen years. Dr. Harding explains that the primary job ofthe university li- brary is to supply the books and magazines needed for the instructional programs of the school. Thus, he wants to build the WU library in all fields of knowledge and increase its instructional potential. While the library now contains 80,000 volumes, he plans within the next two to three years to in- crease the facilities to 100,000 volumes, thus im- proving the books-per-student proportion. At that time the library will have reached its present capac- ity and planning will begin for a building ofits own, tentatively called the 'learning Center. 26 A FULL HOUSE emphasizes the need for more library space. l- Thomas Harding UBRARIANS assume a variety of duties be- tween the stacks and Mrs. Elizabeth French.
