A specialsupplement to mark theopening of thenew Walter C. Koerner wing of theUniversity library

U.B.C. ALUMNICHRONICLE 12 In 1924 the library was under construction in the wilderness of Point Grey and was barely recognizableunder a network of scaffolding.The railway line to be seen running in front of the building led to the bluffs of Point Grey where building mnterinls were unloaded from scows.

The New Library J

A newand revised ed~tion of theUniversity lihrary awaited faculty and students when they returned to classes in mid-September.During the summer studying students either stalked out or sat stoically while the shouts of mork- menand the rattle of jackhammers disturbed the Point Greycalm. Returning students barely recognized the 35- year-oldbuilding. The tables in themain concourse had beenreplaced by the filing cabinets containing the more than a million index cards listing books by author, title and subjectand the fine arts reading room had expanded into whatwas once the Garnet Sedgewick reading room. Dr. Sedgewick’sname is nowmemorialized in theGarnet SedgewickHumanities reading room onthe ground floor of thenorth wing. The Ridington room on the second floor of northwing remained and is nowa reading room forthe social sciences. Gone was the reserve book reading room which is now part of the processing divisions for the library. Firstyear students had abrand new college library to explore in the new south wing which has been named for Walter C. Koerner who contributed a quarter of thecost of the $1,7 10,458 addition.Other funds came from the CanadaCouncil and the provincial government.

15 U.B.C. ALUMNICHRONICLE To say that education in the past generation has under- gone a revolution is to utter a platitude. As in other revolu- tions,what happened has not pleased everybody. But one changewith which few can find fault has been the wide- spreaddiffusion of educationat the postgraduate level, which presupposes a diffusion of the sources of knowledge andlearning. Inour grandfathers' time, an Englishman had to have the cachet of an honors degree from Oxford or Cambridge A universitylibrary is to be accepted in the academic world. An American of the sameperiod would be expected to have a Ph.D.from aplace of study for the faculty Heidelberg or Gottingento attain the highest academic prestige in the United States. In our fathers' time, Harvard and a place for students and Johns Hopkins University has superseded the imperial to cultivatetheir minds Germanuniversities as placeswhich could train college anduniversity teachers. Yale, Princeton, and Columbia lagged a littlebehind. But in our time we have seen a remarkable transforma- tion.Literally scores of universitieson both sides of the Atlanticare providing distinguished graduate training. Advancededucation is nolonger a monopoly of ahalf- dozen institutions. Thisdevelopment was inevitable, for no great nation candepend upon only two or threeuniversities for its leadership,academic or otherwise.Great as areHarvard, Yale,Columbia, and Princeton, they cannot provide suf- LIBRARIES ficientleadership for the whole of theUnited States. Distinguished as are Oxford and Cambridge, and significant as are their traditions and influence, they too are no longer capable of supplying all of the intellectual leadership that and the GreatBritain requires. Indeed, to an outside observer in Great Britain today, one of the most significant educational developments taking place is the advance of the provincial universities to positions of prominence and eventual influ- diffusion ence.Not even the Establishment can subsist indefinitely on the supply of leaders that it gets from the older univer- sities. Some day one may even see a graduate of Notting- ham or Leicesterin the Foreign Office. of learning Coincidentalwith the development of newfirst-class universitiesthere has been of course a diffusion of first- classscholars. Men, not buildings, make a university. No amount of brick, mortar, and steel can make an important university without first-class scholars. The university must also createan environment of learningthat will keep its scholarshappy and busy at the research which is their lifeblood. Few sponsors of the most provincial universities are so benightedtoday that they think a university is a matter of buildingsand publicity. A university is a com- munity of scholarsworking at their specialities. Fortun- ately,distinguished and devoted scholars can be found By DK Louis B.

SUNLIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA ispleased to announce that the initial response to its Values in Education series has been more than gratifying. Hundreds of thousands of booklets have been distributedon request to all parts of Canada and the United States. Thesebooklets, which are still available, deal with the advisability of remainingin school; existing scholarships and bursaries; technical and tradeschools; school boards and their functions, and sports tips for teen-agers.Bulk shipments can be made to educators for distribution in schools. Sun Life is now offering a further series of booklets in its Values in Edu- cationseries. 'How to Get More Fun out of School'is directed to the young teen-ager. It is hoped that 'The Value of a College Education' and 'Why Study the Humanities?' will encourage young men and women to attend university and help them in their search for their proper vocation. Two booklets have been prepared for adults-"Adult Education Today' and 'Educating Yourself for Retirement.' Sun Life hopes sincerely that these booklets, and others to be issued in the future, will act as a stimulant on the young people of our nation and at the same time prove helpful to parents and educators alike in the per- fornlance of their duties.
