THE SCHOOL OF LIBRARY SCIENCE JL HE School of Library Science of The University of North Carolina opened in September 1931. Courses in Library Science had been offered since 1904. A grant from the Car- negie Corporation, however, made it possible to establish a professional school offering a one-year curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Library Science. The School is accredited by the American Library Association. It trains librarians for public, school, college and university libraries. The principal requirement for admission is a bachelor ' s degree from an accredited college or university or senior standing in this insti- tution. Beginning virith the Summer Session of 1935, the regular curriculum is being offered through consecutive summers. This enables teachers who desire to become librarians and can only secure their training in the summer, an opportunity to complete a full-year course. It also provides an opportunity for partially trained librarians to complete their training. With the reorganization of the University into divisions, the School became a member of the Division of the Library and Library School. Although only in its fifth year, graduates of the School are in libraries in seventeen states and the District of Columbia. February 18, 1936.

Since that date the School has had an uninterrupted record of service to the State, has continued to grow in influence throughout the State and Nation, and has won for itself a record among medical educators for the excellence and thoroughness of its work.
