Oxford’s New Library Is Dedicated
“Much of the thinking and act
ion that takes place on the col
lege campus today is confusing,
discomforting, and unpleasant to
simple morality,” Guy R. Lyle,
director of Emory University’s
libraries said at the dedication
of the Oxford College library
Saturday.
In remarks prepared for del
ivery at the dedication Saturday
afternoon Mr. Lyle commented:
<<By simple morality I mean not
hing more than a sense of pur
pose, discipline, and dedication
to rational inquiry and shared
judgment. Instead misfact, ru
mor, and distrust plague the col
lege campus. The student’s new
doctrine is a ‘non-negotlable de
mand* which is an euphemism
for ultimatum.”
“Faculty are adept at making
administrators into scapegoats.
Administrators are accused of
timidity and ‘pandering to youth
to cover up their professional
inadequacies or their hang-ups
about their sense of guilt’. Per
sonal ambitions and loyalty of
individual professors to the de
partmental discipline displace a
concern for the general welfare
of the college as a whole.”
Citing campus events which
he considered of questionable
morality, Mr. Lyle commented:
“I am not suggesting that the
library can solve the problem
of morality, but even a modest
contribution may help. The lib
rary embodies more wisdom and
morality than its faculty and
students collectively possess.”
“All the genius of man is bro
ught to bear on all the problems
that confront individuals and soc
iety in the college library- in
terms of thinking, learning, rel
igion, war, freedom, law, pat
riotism, art, literature, super
stition, science, authority, and
beauty.
“But libraries are lifeless
without students using them, in
telligently, not as all-night study
halls for cramming and parrot
ing back the Instructor’s class
room notes but as pump-primer
of the mind and as a disciplining
force which drives one to search
for the truth.”
The new $600,000 library at
Emory’s Oxford College was op
ened for tours Saturday after
noon at 4:30 p.m. Dedication
services took place at 6:30 p.m.
The library provides room for
60,000 volumes and private study
spaces for students. Mrs. Sara
Gregory is librarian at Oxford
College.
