ENDOWMENT NEED
SEEN FOR LIBRARY
Great Institution of Learning
Could Be Developed, Dr..
| Putnam Points Out.

The Library of Congress needs en-
doWments to elevate it from a col
lection of books and manuscripts into
q great institution of learning, it is
pointed out in the annual report OF
Herbert Putnam, the librarian.
Congress now appropriates about a
million dollars each year for the up.
keep and increase Of the collections
This generosity. it is SHOWN in the
report, has resulted in the accumula
tion Of resources which, in order to
be administered to the best advantage
need endowed chairs carrying salaries
equal to those paid heads Of depart
ments in the larger universities. Such
endoWments would enable the Library
10 retain specialists in the interpreta-
tion of the collections and acquire
material of a type for which Govern
mont appropriations can not well be
expended.
The Library, it is pointed out in the
report is in need Of private funds,
not because the Government neglects
1t, but because the Government does
so much for it.
