Bentley library marks 50th year

By MARTHA SEVETSON
Once the small collection of one
University history professor, the Ben-
tley Historical Library has since
grown into an internationally respec-
ted research library that now houses
some 40 million items..
This year, the library's collection,
which is located at 1150 Beal St. on
North Campus, will celebrate its 50th
anniversary.
IN CONJUNCTION with the birth-
day celebration, a book catalog and
analysis of historical volumes from
two of the founders of the University,
John Monteith and Gabriel Richard,
will be published sometime next mon-
th and available in local bookstores.
The book, entitled Intellectual Life
on the Michigan Frontier, was edited
by Frances Blouin, director of the
library and Leonard Coombs,
associate curator.
The library was founded one year
after the establishment of the
National Archives. History Prof.
Lewis Vander Welde became its first
director after receiving a mandate
and funds from the University to
collect papers and records throughout
the state of Michigan, according to
William Wallach, the library's assist-
ant director.
SINCE ITS founding, the Bentley

Library has grown in purpose from
being an institution solely devoted to
collecting to an institution concerned
with fostering research, Wallach said.
The materials are visited by about
3,000 researchers a year. About 50
percent of the visitors are University
students and faculty, 25 percent are
visiting scholars, Blouin said.
"We've had scholars from every
state of the union," said Blouin. "In
the last year, we've had visitors from
the Soviet Union, West Germany,
England, the Philippines and Korea.
Thirteen foreign countries were
represented."
TODAY THE library is home to
20,000 linear feet of material, in-
cluding 500,000 photos, and 40,000
printed volumes, Wallach said.
The combination of historical
documents and other items form a
social history of the state, and
represent a study of the lives of or-
dinary people, he added.
"We try to get the primary source
materials, the letters and the
diaries," he said. "It's the non-
published materials we're interested
in."
SOME OF these materials which
are currently on display include
photos of the Sinclair brothers, two
1960s radicals and Prohibition posters

from the 1920s.
Also on display is the diary of for-
mer Michigan Senator Arthur Van-
denberg, who was one of the founders,
of the United Nations..
In his diary Vandenberg wrote:
"There was a chance that the Soviet
would kick everything over at the last
minute. My personal feeling was two-'
fold; first, that we dare not abandon
"free speech;" second, that, for ti-,
sake of future relations with Russia,
we must make them understand that
the United States MEANS WHAT ITJ_
SAYS and that we cannot forever b'
bluff ed down."
LETTERS FROM early Northern
settlers written to their families in the
East give a flavor of life in another
era.
In 1831, Mrs. Elijah William- W
Morgan wrote to her family in Con
necticut. Morgan concluded her lettir
"Indeed it is the general opinion that :
there is no better land than is to bed
found in Michigan."
The University's founding paper,
or the Catholepistemiad, as wellX".
records from all of the presidents .
the University and its importance
founding members are also stored at-
the library. In addition, historical in- rsR
formation about dorms, fraternities=
and other aspects of student life can
be found there.

Hispanics
condemn
bilingual
reforms

From AP and UPI
NEW YORK - Hispanic leaders condemned
Education Secretary William J. Bennett's call
yesterday for revising bilingual education by
giving local districts more control and placing
greater emphasis on teaching English.
Critics and supporters alike say they suspec-
ted the proposal was a veiled attempt by the
administration to pull back from federal in-
volvement in the controversial program.
BENNETT was harshly critical of bilingual
education in a speech before the Association for
a Better New York. "After 17 years of federal
involvement, and after $1.7 billion of federal
funding, we have no evidence that the children

whom we sought to help ... have benefited," he
said.
The 17-year-old Bilingual Education Act
requires schools to teach students in their
native language until they reach a certain level
of competency in English. Critics say these
children often remain in courses taught in
foreign languages and never learn English.
Bennett said the administration wants to give
schools greater flexibility so they can place a
greater emphasis on English and give non-
native students a better chance to succeed in
American life.
The secretary said the original purpose of
bilingual education - helping non-English
speaking students learn English - has

gradually, and wrongly, taken a back seat to
teaching foreign-speaking children about their
native language and culture.
"Pride in one's heritage is natural and com-
mendable," Bennett said. But the respon-
sibility of the federal government must be to
help ensure that local schools succeed in
teaching non-English speaking students
English.
Bennett said he will seek statutory and
regulatory changes to clarify legal
requirements on native language instruction
and try to give schools more flexibility in
meeting them.:
CURRENTLY, only 4 percent of the gover-
nment's $139 million annual budget for

bilingual education may be used for subjects
not taught in the students' native language.
Any easing of the cap would have to be ap-
proved by Congress.
Hispanic advocates roundly condemned
Bennett's speech.
"He is using local flexibility as a code word
for federal abandonment," said Norma Cantu,
director of education programs for the'
Mexican-American Legal Defense and'
Education Fund in San Antonio, Texas.
She also challenged Bennett's assertion that
bilingual programs are- teaching youngsters
more about their culture than about English. "I'_" "
don't know of any studies that show that," she's'""
said.
