The Willson Lecture endow-
ment nt McMurry is the largest of
more than twenty Willson Lecture
scries in several states. Within
the last few years the Willsons
have inci eased funds for lecture-
ships in order to make broader
selections of better speakeis. Col-
lege personnel select the speakers
and plan the lecture piograms.
The only stipulation the Willsons
place on the lecture series is that
the students be able to hear the
spcikcrs.
THE WILLSON LECTURES be-
gan in the spring of 1947. The
fust lecturers were Dr. Grace
Slo.in Overton and Bishop Wil-
liam C. Martin. Bishop Martin's
lectures were the basis for his
book "To Fullfill This Ministry"
and McMurry still receives divi-
dends from this book.
Gore Converts Library
To Congress System
The Jay-Rollins Library is undergoing several changes
this year under the supervision of Jack Gore library
director.
The major change involves converting from the Dewey
Decimal System to the Library of Congress System. Some
70000 books and 300000 catalog cards are involved in the re-
organization. In the conversion each book will be off the
shelves approximately four days if it is already properly
indexed.
The new system will feature a two-part catalog: one in-
dexed by subjects and the other by title and author. Dead-
line for the completion of the reclassification is one year.
Mr. Gore emphasized that if the deadline is met McMurry
will have become one of the first college libraries of its size
to complete the task in such a short time using non-professional
workers. He also complimented his student assistants
for their good work that is expediating the usual four-year job.
The book check-out time has been extended to four weeks.
Fines of five cents per day for over-due books have not been
altered. Library hours are until 10 p. m. Monday-Thursday
and 5 p. m. Friday and Saturday. Large information signs
are being placed on the shelves for the student's convenience
in locating books.
In the library students may wear any appropriate attire
approved for campus dress.
Another improvement will be a new Xerox 914 Copier
which makes instant dry duplicates for 10 cents per page.
When the machine arrives it will be placed in the foyer of
the library.
Mr. Gore welcomes any suggestions for further impiove-
ment of the library. His office is located on the first floor of
the library.
