LIBRARY AND SCIENCE
BUILDINGS NECESSARY
SAYS M. H. DOUGLASS
Need of Laboratories, Class
Rooms, Equipment Told
By Professors
The need of new buildings at the
University is Illustrated in a report
by M. H. Douglass, University librar
ian, on the crowded conditions at the
library during the present school year.
Not only are the reading rooms over
crowded and the students who are
trying to study subjected to all man
ner of distraction, but the shelving
space is also far inadequate to ac
commodate the accumulation of books.
Mr. Douglass also points out that
quarters of the library officials have
been encroached upon for storage
rooms, and space is no longer avail
able either for the proper care and
marking of new volumes as they ar
rive or for the re-binding and upkeep
of the used ones.
Confusion Great In Library
Under the present system of study,
reference work and other outside read
ing is assigned in almost all classes.
All this must he done in the library
building or in class rooms opened up
in emergency after hours. Accord
ing to the librarian, the seating cap
acity of all the rooms available in the
library for study purposes is but 211,
yet the time when a majority of the
1700 students must do their studying
in the library iB limited to a few hours
of the day. Crowding during these
periods is very acute and many can
neither secure the books needed nor
find a place to study, Mr. Douglass
reports. Class rooms on the upper
floor of the library and in the base
ment add greatly to the confusion by
packing the halls and entrance be
tween periods.
New Building it Needed
The librarian’s report indicates that
the growth of the University demands
a library building with room enough
to make available all necessary books
and reference matter, and at the same
time provide rooms for reading and
study. Under the present conditions
good work is in many cases impos
sible and instruction is hindered in al
most all departments of the Univer
sity througli causes beyond the con
trol of either students or professors.
The only remedy, according to those
who have stdied the situation, lies in
the erection of a new library building
designed to meet present needs with
provision made for the normal growth
of the University. The librarian’s
analysis shows that the present build
ing is now over utilized, anti that ef
ficiency is cut down by conditions
which are constantly being aggra
vated.
science work is Hampered
Reduction in class work efficiency
through over crowding is not (rumble
to the library alone. Reports from
tlie beads of the science departments
indicate that crowded class rooms,
scanty laboratory space, widely re
moved recitation rooms and laborat
ories. or uncongenial surroundings
make thorough instruction difficult in
botany, geology, physics, psychology
and zoology. With all available space
utilized at present many of the de
partments still find insufficient room
for their needs. A peculiar handicap
In the science courses is the lack of
room and facilities to accomodate
graduate students and to permit re
search work, according to Dr. Uovard
of tlie zoology department. Valuable
specimens must be stored unpacked
and unavailable for use, while proper
displa> can not he given those which
are in cases. A solution is offered if
funds were available for the erection
of a new science building. Such a
building would be designed to meet
’! > needs of tlie departments of bot
nn\ geology and zoology and would
release Deadv hull for the « \punston
!'f the departments of physics and
psychology, according to the plans set
f<> to in the reports of the science
rme sms on present conditions.

OUTDOOR COURSE PLANNED
Packard to Conduct 3 Week*’ Work In
Geology Near Medford
Dr. E. L. Packard, professor of geo
logy, will conduct an outdoor ad
vanced class in geology on the Rogue
river, near Medford, for three weeks
between June 21 and July 10, ac
cording to announcement made yes
terday. In this class, Dr. Packard
said, he will take not more than ten
students. Five have already signed
up for the class—Victor Husband,
Newton Estes and Hubert Schenk,
all of Eugene; Claire Holdredge of
Trent, and Merril D. Ely of Port
land.
The work to be done will be the
study of a small area of cretaceous
formation found last summer by Hu
bert Schenk.
“This area,' Dr. Packard said, “will
afford opportunity for th 3 study of
geological problems of a varied na
ture and will be directly in line with
work already started for an exten
sive study of the cretaceous in this
state.”
