ALUMNI CHRONICLE 1 Friends of the Library Faraway and long ago. in the days of the Fair- view Campus, it was a privilege for some of us to spend many happy hours exploring the hooks in the librarystacks. This was a rich experience at the timeand has beena source of pleasantmemories since. I suspect that during the intervening thirty yearsmany others upon graduation from 1J.B.C. have carried away the same affectionate esteem and highregard for the University Library as I did. 4nd perhaps the successful growth of the Univers- ity of British Columbia. like that of the great uni- versities in the past, has been clue in large part to thefortunate association of acompetent faculty lvith a fine library. Not only is the Library important to the Uni- versity, but it is also important to all the people of EritishColumbia and to the full development of theirprovince. And, of course,through the University budget, the people provide, and will con- tinue to do so, it's main financial support. However, many of the great university libraries in the world depend upon the private support of their effection- ate and munificent friends for an added or supple- mentary richness to the scopeof their basis archives. An example of suchsupport is that furnished by theFriends of The Botlleianin Oxford,England. Thisgroup is composed of Oxoniansand others (not Oxonians) from various parts of the world who arefriendly supporters of theBodleian. The principalqualification is merely an interest in the library.Although the individual financial support isnot usually large, the Friends of TheBodleian havebeen instrumental in adding further 1it.erary treasure to archives already rich beyond the dreams of most university libraries.
