THE    FRIENDS   OF   THE
COLUMBIA   LIBRARIES
 

An OppoRtu\ir\'
 

The Friends assist the Columbia Libraries in several direct ways: first, through their active interest
in the institution and its ideals and through promoting public interest in the role of a research
library; second, through gifts of books, manuscripts, and other useful materials; and third, throtigh
financial contributions.

By helping preserve the intellectual accomplishment of the past, we lay the fotmdation for the

university of the future. This is the primary purpose of the Friends of the C'olmnbia Libraries.
