THE    FRIENDS   OE   THE
COLUMBIA   LIBRARIES

An Opportunity

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, through
financial contribiuions.

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.
