More than a million valuable vol-
umes, representative of every period
and phase of the history of mankind,
are located on the shelves of the
various units of the TUi'versity of
Michigan Library.
The Library proper is composed of
several smaller branches, all of them
available to students and located on
the University campus. The General
Library, standing in the middle of the
campus diagonal, is the largest, con-
taining 607,615 volumes, and 14,389
maps. It contains a number of special
collections, many of which have been
received as gifts during recent years.
Some of the most valuable of these
are -the Parsons Library of Political
Science, the Goethe Library, the Mc-
Millian Shakespeare Library and a
number of other groups of smaller size.
The large library building was
opened in 1920. It has seats in its
various reading and study rooms for
about 1,000 persons. The General
Library is open daily, during the aca-:
demic year, from 7:45 a. m. to 10
R. m., except Sunday, when it is open
from 2 p. m. to 9 p. m.
The William L. Clements Library
of American History, completed in
1923, houses an invaluable collection
of books, manuscripts and maps. The
ibrary was the gift of William L.
Clements, '82, and relates to the dis-
overy of the western continent and
its settlement and later history. The
collection is said to be especially rich
n rare books and pamphlets deal-
ng with early colonial history and

ion. It is located on South University
