University Ave. Although the new General Library has not yet been open a year, it is run- ning nearly to its full capacity, accord- ing to Librarian William W. Bishop. "The study hall and the main read- ing room are fiMed between 9 and 11 o'clock in the morning and 2 and 4 o'clock afternoons," said Librarian Bishop. "The periodical and graduate reading rooms are seldom entirely filled, but on certain days every seat in the medical reading room is occu- pied. "Last Thursday morning when one big class had a bolt all of the 300 chairs in the main reading room were taken. More people could be accom- modated in this room by adding extra chairs but this would make the tables crowded. Already Overtaxed "When the library was planned an attempt was made to forecast its needs with a yearly enrollment in the Uni- versity of 10,000. This year the enroll- ment will exceed that number. We dld not forecast that students will usually seek in numbers convenient and quiet places for study," said Mr. 1Pishop. "If the library furnishes the most convenient and quiet place, it is sure to have a regular attendance of persons who do not come to it strictly for library purposes but merely oc- cupy its seats as a comfortable resting place between classes. "The provision for both students and faculty was as generous as the appro- priation for the new building would permit, and the amount of space given to the reading rooms was made as large as possible in the teeth of very serious opposition - an opposition based upon the conviction that such generous provision for large numbers of undergraduates was unnecessary and wasteful in view of the number of students in 1915. It is perfectly pat- ent that we should have done much more wisely if we had made provision for 15 per cent of the expected student population instead of 10 per cent. New Buildings Offer Relief "We expect to get relief on the erec- tion of a new building for the literary school as one or more study halls will be incorporated in this building," said- Librarian Bishop when asked how' the situation would be met. "It looks as though the library will be seriously crowded before the building can be built. There is no way we can escape having crowded conditions in the next three years unless the University be- comes smaller." The library is not crowded on the book side as there is ample room to provide for the incoming books for the next three or four years. At the pres- ent time there are approximately 450,- 000 volumes in the library. Without installing new stacks 100,000 more books could be taken care of, while by installing new stacks there would be room for an additional 200,000 vol- umes. More than 18,000 books were added to the library last year. Since Aug. 1. 2,500 books have been coming in each month, although this rate is not expected to continue.
