T? 1 ? ) t °) Foreword What a yearbook should be and what a yearbook turns out to be are not always the same. We have tried to capture in this yearbook the unique essence of Lambuth, as we are able to see it. Yet, we realize the spontaneity of the perfect ' slam, ' the unmitigated being of dialogue, the quintessence of Lambuth cannot be captured, simply by definition of those characteristics and qualities. Nevertheless, we have tried to photograph and emphasize the activities and interests of students at Lambuth as they attempt to become self -hoods instead of determined beings. There is much that we left out simply by being lim- ited human beings with limited contacts with the world. Nev- ertheless, we hope that we have caught enough of the spirit of Lambuth that every student, both dorm and commuting, both active and passive in campus affairs will find the LAN- TERN, 1964, a means of re-evaluating and enjoying this year at Lambuth.

... the librarian who works (in a small library) should have a breadth of interests and a range of capabilities far beyond the possession of the average person. He cannot seclude himself in a far corner of a cataloguing room or in the depths of the reference department. He must be con- stantly on call. He must, therefore, like people. This is a trite phrase, but it is an accurate summing up of the most important element in the make-up of the librarian. No amount of knowledge and no familiarity with books will make a person a conveyor or purveyor of that knowledge to others unless he enjoys and cultivates human contacts. A college library deals with a homogeneous group of young people, full of vitality and of eagerness to learn, with a generous sprinkling of a desire for other things than learning. It also deals with a group of highly-trained scholars in the persons of the faculty members. The college librarian should sympathize with the first group, and understand the second if he is to succeed in his work . . . It can truly be said . . . that nothing human is alien to the librarian, and any knowledge of books or people acquired during his previous life is bound to be useful at some point . . . Added to this knowledge of library science, the college librarian must have knowledge and understanding of the institution he serves. He should know its history, the achievements of its faculty and alumni, and the nature of its student body. Helen Sheehan. THE SMALL COLLEGE LIBRARY Westminster, Md., Newman Press, 1963. Pp. 7-10.
