New College Library Will Provide
For Future Needs, Lewis Reveals
Careful preparation with a view to
the future of Penn State is the policy
to be pursued in compiling plans for a
new library building, according to
Willard P. Lewis, College librarian.
"One of the greatest mistakes made
in the erection of college and.univer
sity library structures in recent years
has been the failure of the builders
to provide for future development of
thl institution, which necessitates a
corresponding expansion of library
facilities," said Mr. Lewis. "Plans
