I look forward to the time when great universities like Columbia or Yale or Chicago or Johns Hopkins mt.y find it advantageous to trans fer to Aiheville some of their most popular Courses. The absence f a private library is only a partial nanaicap; libraries do not play a great part In summer school work, and the climate of Ashteville is an asset far over and beyond the soemlng liability of a scarcity of books.
