?0l' Study From a humble beginning of one room holding eight hundred books, the Cleveland College Library has grown until it consists of six rooms with over twenty-five thousand books. Miss Blanche V. Watts, the head librarian, now requires the assistance of five professional librarians and seven part-time student assistants. Gifts played a large part in the growth of the library. Upon his death, the late Edward W. Doty bequeathed to the library his unique collection, Letters of Juniusf' together with books and pamphlets pertaining to the Letters, In November, 1937, Mr. Doty's friends subscribed to a fund to furnish the alcove opposite the fireplace in the library. It was transformed into a comfortable and popular study spot.

E '- as 1 4' f if A .. 'W 'Z E 'ii ii 7 and Ee earcla . . . A gift of twenty-two hundred mounted art prints and two hundred out- standing books in the fine arts came from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Mrs. Dudley Blossom, who has contributed considerably to Cleveland's welfare, presented the library with one hundred and fifty leather-bound books. While these represent larger donations, Miss Watts feels that the library was fortunate to have friends like David Dietz, Cleveland Press Science Editor, and his wife, who have made many generous gifts. According to Miss Watts, the success of the library is due largely to the support of the Board of Trustees, Director A. Caswell Ellis, and Dean Hunsaker. Not to be discounted are the many gifts from members of the faculty and the students. Just before the war, a rental collection of recordings was made available to the students through the work of G. W. Sanford, Economics instructor, and James McConkey, then editor of the Cleveland College Life and now a mem- ber of the college English department. There are many recordings used as refer- ence by the various departments, and students and instructors alike have access to them. Although it is the library,s duty to maintain books and other records of the past, it must also keep its eyes to the future and synchronize its materials with student demands. With its aim to supplement teaching, and with its policy of keeping up with the world, the library has become one of the dynamic forces of the school. 'Lf ff'
