Phase Of Mankind
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 University 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
p.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
library was the gift of William L.
Clements, '82, and relates to the dis-
covery of the western continent and
its settlement and later history. The
collection,is said to be especially rich
in rare books and pamphlets deal-
ing with early colonial history and
the period of the American Revolu-
tion. It is located on South University
Avenue.
Other branches of the University of
Michigan Library are the Architec-
ture Library, the Chemistry and
Pharmacy Library, the School of
'Dentistry Library, the Economics-
Mathematics Library, the Engineer-
ing Libraries, the Forestry Library,
the Law Library, the Medical Li-
braries, the Museum Library, the
Natural Science Library, the Physics
Library, and the Transportation Li-
brary.
The various libraries receive period-
icals regularly numbering 4,418. The
income of the Ford-Messer bequest of
$20,000, of the Coyl Bequest of $10,000,
of the Octavia William Bates Bequest
of over $17,000, and of the Silas
Wright Dunning Bequest of $83,000,
is used to add books to the General
Library.
The University Library is one of
the depositories for the printed cata-
log cards issued by the Library of
Congress. It also subscribes to the
card publications of the John Crerar
Library of Chicago, the American
Library Association, Harvard Uni-
versity, the University of Chicago,
the Prussian State Library, Berlin,
and various others. The bulk of the
University's book possessions are now
recorded in a public catalog.
