Justin Winsor, College Librarian in the last century, thought that "books should be used to the largest extent possible and with the least trouble." But today Widener's monumental size threatens to defeat this principle. Consequently the library fails to play its part in undergraduate education...
Dean Ferguson's memorandum appears to assume that the University has no choice in the matter. It treats the existing policy as the dictate of an implacable budget rather than as the result of a choice among alternatives. At least one alternative, it must be evident, there is. The University may seek to assure itself only that it is going to be able to pay the prospective appointee his salary as an associate professor, leaving to the future the question of whether it either can or wants to appoint him to a full professorship.
