The University's resiiiin head librarian stated last niht
that the rec'omnicndations he made to the faculty for changes
in the present library system "will probably be implement
ed, sooner, or later, by the new librarian.'
In reempasiin;4 his original six proposals for augment -in
the facilities of the library, Dr. Andrew Horn said that
he felt "all temporary set backs will be rectified." He added
that he was "sure that the new librarian will ,o loiward

for "a new fellowship which will
produce a mutual emulation and
discipline, and an incalcuable in
fluence on education."
Following the speeches. Di
President Stan Shaw announced
that a petition will be circulated
around to the student body, urg
ing the North Carolina General
Assembly to readdress itself to
the obligations of the University
Library.
The petition will specifically
"implore the legislators to realize
its obliitiu.i in providing the
minimum necessities for a pro
gressive and forward looking li
brary program which is the basis
for any University."
Dr. Horn endorsed the Di's pe
tition saving. "I think that the
petition is a good thing; it will be
a strong move if it is .signed by
most of the student body."
Speaking of the connection be
tween the two debating societies
and the Library', Dr. Horn said
that there has always been "a
warm tradition of interest shown
in the library by the students
and the two societies."
Allcott pointed out that Dr. Cain
was probably referring to the re
signation of the chairman of an
other art department at Wheat on
College in Massachusetts in HKVd.
Reference to that resignation was
made by Cain in the conversation
between Cain and Allcott. Allcott
al pointed out that Cain, who i.-.
visiting art schools all over the
country, misquoted him in refer
ence to certain " plans sent to the
Chancellor."
j "I never made any plans for the
! building," Allcott said. "Mr. Cain
is very much interested in new art
buildings, and I showed him a
study I had made of them."
"Cain asked if the University
had seen this. I said I sent it t
the Chancellor and he transmitted
it to the Buildings and Ground-.
Committee."
The News and Observer article
also quoted Prof. Allcott as saying
he had seen President Friday about
the plans and that Friday said
"nothing could be done." Chancel
lor House made four points:
1) The plans for the new mu
seum have been arrived at by con
ferences with many people, and
finally approved by the trustees
of the Ackland bequest.
2) Prof. Allcott has not resigned
as department chairman.
3) At AUcott's own request, he
will devote his entire attention to
teaching and art research as .soon
as the University can expand its
art departmet. The University Is
seeking a new chairman.
4) It is not at all unusual that a
department chairman will a.-k to
be relieved of his duties in order
to devote more attention to teach
ing and research as Allcott ha
done.
