r 28 THE 1914 ARG0 il ' The Library - , p MARGARE'lg EARLA MITCHELL, AB, Assistant in English. and Librarian. y An Appreciation Q, pi recent years without at some time having been called upon to write a theme p or make a ,speech upon The Value of the Library, or some kindredgphase 4 of that general subject. Class themes, or any f-artificially-imposed discussipn of a subject have a tendency to rob it of interest.. At any rate some people never recover from a thorough dislike for Paradise Lost, or Sir Roger DeCoverly,'r' or perhaps The, Vicar of Wakeheld, 'i through being forced. to compose exhaustive -critical theses, at a comparatively early age. There, may be some who have a slight loathing for the Library for the reasoniabove suggested, but we assume that most of us belong to that sane and rational element who allow youthful' misconceptions andlprejudices 'to give way to the wiser conclusions reached through experience. Some of our opinions about books may not change, indeed, in liberty of thought we do not care to agree with others necessarily, but all thoughtful persons appreciate the Library as a worthy institution. W l1T IS not at all probable that any student has graduated' from Westminster in N . A recent number of the Holcad contained an excellent article, somewhat sarcastic, yet apparently,written in the spirit of constructive' criticism, upon the needs of the Library. It was pointed out that while we have an encouraging array of bound magazines, and the proper ,accompanying catalogs, and in general an excellent assortment of books, there are still some almost inexcusable omissions in some book shelves. There is no, Dictionary of National Biography, no complete I-Iawthornej fior Emerson, and not even one ivolume of Matthew Arnold's poems. In past times Westminster adherents have been proud to compare their luxuriously-furnished, and amplyQequipped library with the vastly inferior x I 'gl m in ff sim I J Q, 1 u Z .dy i gr IQ 'I i ss i if
