University of Virginia Library

Funds

The funds are part of the regular
educational and general expenditure
budget of the University and were
allocated to the library when a surplus in
the overall budget was discovered.

Mr. Frantz stated that with the
additional money Alderman Library "is
beginning to approach the average expenditures
of other colleges and universities in the
Association of Research Libraries." The library
presently ranks twenty-eighth in the country
for the number of volumes owned. Mr. Frantz
continued to say that with the additional
money the library "will begin to rank with the
finest in the country."
