Students with a collection of not less than 35 or more than 60 books have until April 16 to enter the ninth annual Taylor Book Collection Competition.
The contest is designed to honor the students who have placed time into gathering a small library of his own to meet his needs in a certain field.
Anyone interested in entering the contest or wanting further information should contact either Williams or Knightly.
THE DIRECTORS of this year's contest are Terrence Williams of the Department of Special Collections and John Knightly, Watson Library Circulation Department.
Knightly emphasized that the collections need not be large or expensive to win. The judges will be primarily interested in the entrant's intentions for which the personal library was collected.
EACH CONTESTANT must submit a bibliography of their collection and a statement of not more than 400 words on the purpose in making the collection, including some references to the circumstances under which the collection was made.
After preliminary judging, which will be made on the basis of the bibliographies and statements, finalists will be asked to bring their collections to the library for final judging
The first place winner will automatically compete for the Amy Loveland $1,000 National Award which is sponsored by the Book-of-the-Month Club, The Saturday Review and the Women's National Book Association.
The judges will be selected from the KU faculty, Midwestern book dealers and library personnel from the Special Collections Department of the KU library.
THE TAYLOR BOOK award is sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, Kansas City, Mo., a book collector. Long interested in general collecting, Mrs. Taylor developed a strong interest in Henry Mencken. Today
she owns one of the world's major Mencken collections.
Mrs. Taylor started the Taylor Book Award nine years ago to encourage reading and book collecting.
"The library conducts this contest to honor the students who have found enjoyment and excitement in book collecting. I think it encourages them to form their own book collections," Knightly said.
John S. McNown, Dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, has returned from a 25-day trip to France, Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal in Africa.
McNown Tours African Sites
He accompanied the advisory committee for Africa of the National Academy of Science, which was seeking ways to stimulate scientific exchanges on problems created by large man-made lakes.
To portray the scope of the international efforts in African development, Dean McNown said. "At the
Kainji dam in Nigeria we talked to the Italian contractor, to the joint design engineers from England and Holland, to a U.N. group, and to Nigerian government officials. We saw Canadian technicians installing Japanese turbines and U.S. generators."
Dean McNown will return to Europe in July when he begins a 14month leave of absence. He will spend a portion of that time in Africa.
