University of Virginia Library

HEW Study

He noted that a study by the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare noted that five
times the materials necessary for
undergraduates are needed for graduate
research. He also noted that a library is a key
factor at any university in attracting and
holding faculty, and that among the graduate
students and faculty working at the University
now a great deal of "frustration" has arisen as a
result of the deficits.

President Edgar F. Shannon opened the
meeting with some remarks on growth. "There
is no alternative to growth," he said. "The
admission of women has only intensified the
need for that growth."

Mr. Shannon said he will probably ask for
more than $4 million in library development
funds from the Legislature for the next
biennium.
