MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN
University Makes Exchange
With Leningrad Library
St. Louis iU.R) Washington
University has successfully con
cluded its own cultural exchange
with a public library in Lenin
grad, Russia.
Saul Levin, a classics profes
sor, received microfilm of three
rare and ancient Hebrew Bibli
cal manuscripts from Lenin
grad's Saltykov-Shchedrin Li
brary in return for 14 books re
quested by the Russians, includ
ing "The Adventures of Mark
Twain."
The exchange required eight
months, but was accomplished
"directly and with few compli
cations." Levin said. He applied
to the Russian embassy in Wash
ington, which forwarded the re
quest directly to the library's
director.
The director asked $75 to cov
er microfilming costs, to be paid
in such books as "A Pictorial
Treasury of Opera in America,"
"The Mike Gold Reader,"' "Econ
omic History of the United
State s." "Electro magnetic
Waves," "Physical G e o 1 o g y,"
"Semimicro Qualitative Analy
sis" and "Dielectric Behavior
and Structure."
Levin, who will use the micro
film in a structural comparison
he is making between Hebrew
and other Semitic languages
with Greek, Sanskrit and the
Indo-European languages in gen
eral, attributed the eight-month
delay to "library and microfilm
ing' difficulties" ratlier than to
governmental red tape.
The Russian librarian notified
Levin that the cost of the micro
filming had been overestimated,
and invited him to select an ad
ditional S50 worth of films. Lev
in said he probably would order
more Hebrew Bible, and perhaps
It takes nature up to 1,000
years to produce topsoil.
