Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make ye free. This statement, the purpose of the University, is carved in the Main Building just below the location where the largest portion of the general library is housed. The fine collection of books found within asserts the earnest endeavor of our school to fulfill the promise of the inscription. The general li- brary, a customary workshop of the faculty and student body, was begun in 1933 and com- pleted in 1937. In 1939 it was given its present name, the Mirabeau B. Lamar Library. The general library at the University is the largest in the South, ranking thirteenth among colleges in the United States. The books in this collec- tion of more than 950,000 vol- umes may be found not only in the Main Library, but also in small departmental collections which are scattered to every corner of the Forty Acres. In- conspicuous and yet indispen- sable, they are prepared to serve special groups of Univer- sity students. Few, if any, ever have reason to consult books in all the library ' s 25 units.
