To Chairmen of Departments?

Dean Pierson of the University of North
Carolina, who has been engaged by the Board of Regents
to make a survey of the five state educational
institutions, has asked us: “In what fields at the
University of Kansas is the Library strong?" In an
effort to answer this question we are making inquiry
of all Departments, and we should greatly appreciate
your help. Will you vlease consult with your staff
concerning the library material representing the sub-
ject matter of your Department, and indicate to us such
bodies and tyves of material as seem to you worthy
of special mention. Please be as concrete and detailed
ag possible, naming special collections and particular
works.

Because Dean Pierson's investigation is
going forward rapidly, we hope that you will be able
to attend to this matter within the next week or ten

days.
Very truly yours,
