Circulation too has increased
rapidly matching in part the
growth of the student body. Up
to May 1 circulation had in
creased 23 per cent above a com

figures naturally reveal the ex
tent to whicb actual use of the
library has increased. In the area
of library use, too, Dr. Tomlinson
has some plans for the future.
The tendency in this direction
is to make the library more of a
research library.
Research Aim Stressed
"That is a library that has
more of the important reference

of on-campus graduate work,"

Old Almanacs Given
"An accurate picture of early

the collection ," Dr. L. A. Tom

"Especially interesting are a set
of Boston Almanacs between 1841

Another interesting item in the
collection is an Atlas of the Unit

shows the eastet'p section of the
United States as it is today and
the western country traversed by
Lewis and Clark. Experts say
the map is accurate with the ex

Sidney Mos·s, shows the Willam

Monday's convocation, Dr. Mor

told of the accomplishments of
Lewis and Clark on the eve of
,the seventh anniversary of the
college's move to its Portland lo

years," was his descrjption of
how the school's achievements
came about. He told of the work·

"Especially interesting are a set

Another interesting item in the
collection is an Atlas of the Unit

shows the eastet'p section of the
