have s e v e r a l l y been related to the imagination and 
emotions and behavior of that branch of knowledge

Some Recent Publications on Higher 
Education 
T N THE paragraphs that follow C l a r a Esther Derring and Carrie E . Meares of Teach-

portant literature on higher education published in 1 9 3 9 and 1940.

The purpose of the study is "to discover, in se-

lected areas, what kinds of institutional-faculty rela-
tions tend to promote better institutional integrity 
and to build these into a basic program which would 
be useful f o r a college desiring to improve its own 
faculty relations." The following areas were se-
lected f o r study: ( 1 ) recruiting of faculty personnel; 
(2) intellectual freedom in the college; (3) salary, 
tenure, and auxiliary services, including retirement 
plans,_ insurance, housing, and health services; (4) 
the role of the faculty in the government of the 
college; ( 5 ) stimulating faculty growth.

" T h e study reported in this monograph is con-

cerned entirely with the process of reading, which 
obviously is only a part of the total problem of 
reading. The exclusion from consideration of such 
matters as materials of reading, purposes of reading, 
and sociological data relating to the types of readers 
and kinds of material read carries no implication that 
these factors are of less importance. Limiting the 
problem is simply a recognition of the fact that, to 
be effective, any scientific study must be focal-
ized. . . . 

" T h e present study is concerned directly with the 
possibility of improving a small group of factors 
basic to the reading process."

In his memoirs Dr. Butler, president of Columbia 

University, writing of his activities and accomplish-
ments as an educator and a liberal Republican, has 
presented a truly important contribution to the story 
of our times. He, himself, s a y s : " I n looking back 
across the busy years it is plain that both their 
interest and whatever importance those years may be 
thought to possess are due to the fact that they have 
been so largely occupied with ideas and policies of 
public moment. E v e r y activity has been secondary 
and even incidental to the self-chosen task of plan-
ning and building, upon the foundations of historic 
Columbia College, a university in the fullest sense 
of that word, which should respond not only to the 
highest ideals of the intellectual and spiritual life 
but to the insistent and many-sided needs of modern 
democratic society. That task, chosen with delibera-
tion and adhered to persistently and stubbornly 
despite every possible temptation and allurement, 
both financial and political, has dominated these 
busy years from first to last." 

A second volume dealing with his interests in 
international affairs has been promised.

THIS checklist of 1 9 3 9 reference books published in English has been compiled by a committee of which Frances Neel Cheney, M a b e l L . Conat, Charles F . M c C o m b s , 
J a m e s T . R u b e y , H a r o l d Russell, and A n n e M . Smith are members and the under-
signed is chairman. 

Undoubtedly, this first list has omissions. Y o u are invited to call them to the com-
mittee's attention f o r inclusion in subsequent issues. W e w i l l also welcome suggestions 
on the f o l l o w i n g points: 

1. Continuations: Standard yearbooks have not been listed unless the 1939 issue contained 
fundamental changes. 

2. Government publications: T h e committee proposes to canvass carefully for reference 
tools in 1940. Only a few 1939 items are here included. 

3. Society publications: Much needs to be done with university and learned society pub-
lications. These will be included during 1940. 

4. Foreign language reference books: These will be listed in the next issue. 
5. Ephemera: T h e committee invites the aid of reference workers. 
6. Local reference aids: Reference librarians are invited to submit for listing any local 

bibliographies or reference tools developed.
