The Friends of the Columbia Libraries

_he Friends assist the Columbia Libraries in several

direct ways: first, through their active interest in the institution and its ideals and through pro¬
moting ptiblic interest in the role of a research library; second, through gifts of books, manu¬
scripts, and other useful materials; and third, through financial contributions.

By helping preserve the intellectual accomplishment of the past, we lay the foundation for the
university of the future. This is the primary purpose of the Friends of the Columbia Libraries.
