Jordan Plans To Modernize 'Cliffe Library
Special Committee Will Study Ways to Streamline Library On Scale Similar to Lamont
Undergraduate library facilities "comparable to Lamont" will soon be available to Radcliffe undergraduates, President Jordan disclosed yesterday.
Since Widener Library will now be thrown open to Radcliffe girls doing specialized research, Radcliffe's library will be relieved of all but course reading in a plan designed to reduce the current collection from 100,000 to 70,000.
Streamlining Planned
Rennovations will be made after a special committee makes it final report to the library's governing board, President Jordan disclosed.
Strengthening Radcliffe's library will not only "maintain the identity of the College," but save a great deal of money, since Lamont would have required a 20 percent expansion to cope with an added Radcliffe burden.
Radcliffe students will now have the same privileges in Widener that Harvard students now have, President Jordan added.
