Excerpt from Seminary Libraries and University Extension
One of the pleasantest features of our seminary meetings in Heidelberg was the weekly display Of new books, mono graphs, pamphlets, and other publications which were sent to our professor from his book - seller for examination by the students before and after the regular seminary exercises. In this way young men were made familiar with current his torical literature. The professor's comments upon this or that author, his past or present work, were usually very instructive. Such conversation was an agreeable dessert after a somewhat jejune meal of medimval Latin. Ideas were exchanged by the students upon books which they had already read or examined. Useful suggestions were thrown out by the professor in a kindly, helpful way, and the sym posium usually broke up in a very cheerful state of mind.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a substantial study of seminary libraries in Germany and the way they evolved in the US from the influence of German scholarship. The author first gives a brief history of seminary libraries in Germany, their close relation to the universities and the way they support specialized research at an advanced level. He then describes how these ideas were brought to the US by returning American students who had studied in Germany and how this led to the development of seminary libraries for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in their respective universities. He describes the strategies followed at Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins and Columbia Universities to establish and build the necessary collections and the evolution of the roles played by librarians in cataloging and providing access to the materials for teaching and research purposes. The book ends with a discussion of the potential for expanding this model beyond the university setting to serve the educational needs of the general public. The author believes that public libraries can become centers of higher education in their communities by offering instruction to the general public and serving the educational functions of the highest high school in the community, thereby breaking down the barriers between the educated and non-educated and contributing to a more harmonious and better-informed society.
