Dr. Leyh appears to have conceptualized his philosophy of librarianship quite fully during his student days at Munich, Stras- bourg, and Tiibingen between 1896 and 1901; in essence it was that libraries have a high humanistic and scholarly purpose that can and must keep aloof of ideological and political issues. cache/crl-12675.pdf txt/crl-12675.txt
