itself, predate the October 8, 1868, opening of the University. Two years earlier, in the聽<em>Report of the Committee on Organization, October 21, 1866</em> (Albany, 1867), Andrew D. White had discussed in thoughtful detail aims and methods for the formation of a library for the proposed university. The methods included the submission of booklists by faculty members, the checking of publishers’ and booksellers’ catalogs, and “the purchase wholly, or in part, of carefully gathered special collections of private individuals.”</p><p><a href="/middle-east/about-the-collection/">Read more about the collection</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section
