THE   FRIENDS   OF

THE  COLUMBIA   LIBRARIES

An Opportunity
 

The Friends assist the Columbia l.ibiaries in several direct ways: first, through their active interest
in the institiuion 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, through
financial contributions.

By helping preser\e 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.
