He holds three advanced de­ grees from the Uni­ versity of Illinois—an M.A. and a Ph.D. in French and an M.S. Dr. Lucien W. W hite in Library Science. He also has studied at the University of Iowa, the Sorbonne, and the University of Grenoble. He taught modern languages at Augustana College from 1939 to 1953.

He has been a member of the U. of I. Campus Planning Committee since 1967 and has been chairman since 1970. Taking over the helm of a great research li­ brary at a time when all of higher education is going through an extremely trying period would be a challenge to any administrator, and Dr. W hite will find ample challenges as he guides the University of Illinois Library through the coming years.
