...recent CRIMSON editorial on the exclusion of books from the Reading Room was misconstrued by many. The CRIMSON realizes that the great majority of the Faculty are extremely generous in regard to books they have written.

Although the Library may not have consciously changed its policy with regard to the purchase of extra copies of books, it has been noticeable for a year or more that the supply of books for new courses has not been kept up to the demand. It is true that the Library has eight copies...
