VALUE OF MANUSCRIPTS MAIES
PRECAUTION ECESSARIY;
OPEN IN SPRING
(By W. Bernard Butler)
With exterior construction com-
pleted, the Clements Memorial library
again becomes a topic of inquiry
Many misapprehensions have arisen
about the real character of this build-
ing and of the collection which it is
to house. To cear up any misconcep-
tions that may have arisen and to ex-
pand upon the general existing knowl-
edge of the library, Librarian William
W. Bishop yesterday outlined more
thoroughly the nature and purpose of
the institution which is about to be
made,a valuable part of the facilities
of the University.
A Rare Collection
"First of all," said Mr. Bishop, "the
real scarcity of the materials for early
United States history should be em-
phasized. There are but few reprints
of many of the old documents and no
reprints of many 'others.
Due to that fact, according to Mr.
Bishop, during the past few years
these documents and other historical
sources have become highly prized.
"Pamphlets of the late eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries of Ameri-
can history," said the librarian, "were
a most effective and definite means of
influencing public opinion. Today
these pamphlets of fundamental his-.
torical importance now run as high as
$100 to $200 each.
"You can appreciate the Clements
library only when you understand the
difficult task and the great cost en-
tailed in the collection," declared Mr.
Bishop. "A man of moderate means
would not be able to amass such a
collection.
"Mr. Clements has been able to dis-
tinguish the fundamental from the
trivial. He has exerted great persist-
ence and care over a long period of
years. He has evidenced also a high
sense of scholarship in differentiating
between the important and unimport-
ant. He has brought together the
fundamental things from which history
must be written," Mr. Bishop con-
tinued.
Referring more specifically to ex-
amples of some of 'the valuable ma-
terials in the Clements' collection, Mr.
Bishop cited Mort's "Relation of Plym-
outh Plantation," which is the earliest
printed account (published in 1624)
of the first three years of struggle,
suffering and privation that the Pil-
grims experienced at Plymouth after
their landing. "The securing of such
books as these must cover a long
period of years for it is only every 20
years or so that one is able to make
such a find. Regent Clements bought
this book in London during the sum-
mer of 1921," said Mr. Bishop.
Library Contents Variedl
In enumerating the classifications
into which the books of the Clements'
collection fall, Mr. Bishop said that
there are 1200 volumes of extreme
rarity, chiefly from the discovery per-
iod; 3,000 less rare books of the late
colonial and revolutionary years;
more than 2,500 pamphlets and con-
temporary accounts of the Revolu-
tion; a large collection of eighteenth
century newspapers, mostly weeklies
and chiefly published in New England
states; a very larg collection in-
cluding 200 volumes of manuscripts
by the Earl of Shelburne. and a large
collection of modern books on Ameri-
can history.
Mr. Bishop referred to another val-
uable addition, an amazing collection
of maps of the Revolution. These
were' amassed by Henry Stevens, a
London expert who spent 40 years in
gathering them.
Further, the library will contain,
said Mr. Bishop, "the best working
collection of bibliographies in the
field of American History I have
seen."
Mr. Bishop emphasized the fact that
"the material is of such a character
that it cannot be used in the ordinary
library way." The collection must be
used under proper safeguards With
this end in view an expert curator
will be employed. 4 ; o#UI
Building of Italian Design
Considering the structural arrange-
ment and design of the :building it.'
self, the library is recognized as of
the Italian Renaissance design, cover-
ing a plot approximately 80 by 100
feet and rising two stories high. The
original plans for the facade have
been changed somewhat from the
broad terrace with a colonade to a
narrower approach to the pillared
loggia.
Immediately upon entering the
bronze doors, similar to those of the
new Detroit public library, one will
confront the main reading and exhi-
bition room which will be finished in
wood panel work. The ceiling will
be deeply coffered and the room will
have lighting of the latest approved
method. This large rom is about 36
by 90 feet and extends to the roof.
On this same'floor will also be locat-
ed the offices of the professor of Amer-
ican history together with one for the
curator..
On the second floor will be found
the administrative officeswwhere col-
lecting and cataloguing will be car-
ried on. Offices for another professor
of American history will occupy a
part of this floor together with a map
room and cases containing reprints of
valuable books kept for students'
use.

Provision is made in the basement
for incoming books and storage, as
well as for a photostat and darkroom
where photographic copies of rare
books will be made and preserved.
Extensive stock rooms are also includ-
ed where files of early newspapers
which form one of the richest stores
of the collection are to be kept.
The building was designed with the
fundamental idea of simplicity and
usefulness in construction and beauty
of architecture.
Curator to Be Secured
In speaking of the plans for the
use of the building, Mr. Bishop stated
the present idea is to open the build-
ing during the day to display different
exhibits and to allow only the most
advanced students of hstory to use
the material. Under the direction of
the curator, his assistants and oth-
ers, the University intends to publish
at intervals issues of a series of pa-
pers based upon the material con-
tained in the Clements collection. The
principal, work of the curator, how-
ever, the librarian pointed out, will
probably ie in taking care of the cor-
respondence about the sources in the
collection, inquiries which will come
from all over the world.
Mr. Clement's collection is now in!
Bay City. "There is little chance the
library will open before the 1923
Commencement. Even if the build-
ing were opened when finished in the
late winter or early spring, the ma-
terial would not be available for stu-
dent use until next summer or fall,"
Mr. Bishop announced.
The librarian stressed particularly
the value of Regent Clements' ,'gift
both to the University and to the
state. "This library," he said,
