LIBRARY FACILITIES

The University Libraries altogether contained on July 1, 1934, a total of
232,014 volumes. Departmental libraries afford specialized collections in science,
classics, English, the social sciences, and education. The Medical Library, now
in the new Medical Buildings, is spacious and well equipped for graduate study.
Graduate students may, through the office of the General Library, get certain
books needed in research from other university libraries on the inter-library loan
system. Nearness to Washington makes the Library of Congress and the Folger
Shakespeare Library easily available for graduate students.
