LIBRARY SCIENCE From its secluded home on the third floor of Doheny Memorial Library, the School of Library Science directs the studies of scholars who intend to make a career of librarianship. Mary Duncan Carter, besides acting as director of the school, sponsors a weekly book and film review broadcast, assisted by students in the School of Library Science. The one-year cur- riculum prepares majors for work as assistant librarians in large libraries or as librarians in smaller posts. The school is the only one of its type in southern California, and it is accredited by the Board of Education for Librarianship of the American Library Association. The curriculum is being rapidly enlarged and the student body has shown great increase. Director Mary D. Carter r Frank Baxter Louise Rocwekamp Hazel Dean
