There will be no studying of textbooks, reference books and theses in this room. The picture is a it production of the “browsing room'*—ran Interesting part of the new library st the University of Oregon, which is fast rising from what once was termed Kincaid field. “No studyiac allowed in this room.” This sign, or one similarly worded, will appear over the door of the most conspicuous and important room In the new University of Oregon library, uow under construction and expected to be ready for occupancy next fall. The room, which will be comfort ably furnished, by friends of the li brary. will be for pleasure reading only, and the atmosphere and furni ture have been planned to conform to this idea. It has tentatively been called the "browsing room," and will lie often to all students. In place of rhe usual rows of desks, it will have easy chairs, davenports, sttrsetive floor lamps, and at each end a fire place, which j n cool winter days will hod h cheery fire, will add a home like touch. — Dooks to Liss Walls WnLs will be lined with books, most 4 which will be gifts, all in sbelvra conveniently placed for easy inspec tion. An attendant will be on hand, not to enforce quiet and discipline, but to offer friendly sdvice and to charge out volumes Hie students may wish to take out overnight. The plans for the structure have placed the browsing room on the main floor, in the space between the two principal entrance«. It is to be a room 25 by 90 feet, with a north exposure that will provide ample dayli;iit. Par tial walla will divide the room into three sections. Wide doors, each of glass so that students passing by may look into the inviting spot, will be provided st each end. Used to Beguile "The room is not to be a retreat Tor accomplished book-lovers, but n means of beguilernent for non-readin students,’* explains Karl W. OnthnnI dean of personnel of the university and a member of the committee th worked out the idea for the proj<< "It k> to be free from all odor of re quirement and to be baited by the choicest lures of the book trade. Once a student is ‘hooked' we hope he will remain a ‘victim’ of good reading and good books for the reet of his life. Such a service, is, we feel, as im portant for a university library to render as handing out required read ings to boolpbored credit-buntera.” The room will l>e furnished largely by funds to be raised by a group i known as “friend* of the University Library,” and from gifts already avail able for this purpose. The library, which will cost approx imately $460,000 when completed, has been made possible by a PWA grant and loan to the university. Work on it has been under wny since Inst sum- ’•:cr. and it is expected to be ready for eiirancy next fall.
