The Senate agreed to -vote on:the nomination either tomerrow or Tues- day along with several pending for the Tariff Commission.

Partial detail of the great library of theology and allied subjects, which eventually will contain upwards of 300,000 volumes, to be built on the National Cathedral grounds, on a site just east of the apse, were announced today by Bishop Freeman, coincident with the opening of the memorial wing of the library, recently complet- ed and which now is open to the local Episcopal clergy and to theological writers and general students so far as |is possible with present facilities. This building was made possible by the gift of Mrs. Violet Blair Janin of | Washington in memory of her mother, { Mary Jesup Blair. The building was begun in 1924, and harmonizes with the general architectural style of the Cathedral buildings. Many Valuable Volumes. The Cathedral Library already con- tains a great many valuable volumes which=will form a nucleus for the larger collection. Included in the collection are: | A set of bound journals of the gen- eral conventions of the church from 1784 to the 2 ibr the late Bishop Yates Satterlee, first Bishop of Washingtor The libraries of the late Archdeacon Richard P. Williams and the Rev. Wil- liam Tayloe Snyder. A valuable collection of books of travel and art given by Mrs. Willlam R. Turner and Miss Mary S. Law- rence. A collection of about 6,000 books accumulated Sarah F. Smiley, founder of the soclety for the home study of Holy Scriptures and church history, regarded as one of the most valuable church collections in the United States. _A collection-of 45 volumes of eccle- siastical blography and American_his- tory, particularly of the period of John Quincy Adams, donated by Mrs, Benjamin I1.” Buckingham and Miss Isabel Freeman of Washington. A library of the late Rev. James Kirkpatrick, of Bethesda. Mrs. Kirk- patrick is a daughter of the late Bishop Dudley of Kentucky and the collection contains many of the most valuable books from the bishop’s col- lection. Guest House Feature. An interesting feature in connection with the library will be a guest house or hostel to be modeled after the one at the famous St. Deiniol's library founded at Hawarden, Chester, Eng- land, by William E. Gladstone. The library will contain several of the art treasures of the cathedral.

The first librarian is the Rev. Joseph for years rector of Rock Creek parish, a notable church scholar. Rev. Mr. Fletcher Is enthusiastic over the materig] already obtalned as a nucleus for the larger collection. The establishment of the library is in accordance with the precedents set by the great English cathedrals, which very early in their history began to assemble great collections of books and manuscripts. Principal among these early libraries were those of Canterbury, York, Glastonbury and Durham. Canons Taught Lawyers. In the early days of the cathedral the canon and chancellor served as in- structor for the first lawyers. “Canon chancellor” is one of the earliest of law terms, and the legal profession must turn to the cathedrals to find its beginnings. The library will contain books on sculpture, painting, stained glass, metal and woodwork, church music, hymnology, organs, bells and chimes and other objects making up the ma- terinl fabric of a great Gothic ca- thedral. Bishop Freeman expresses the hope that the library may be the means of inspiring the “writing of theological works of permanent value. The church in America has not been par- ticularly fertile in such works in the past, because the average clergyman, tied down to a daily routine, has been unable to devote to them the requisite meditation, research and study. Bishop Explains Purpose. Bishop Freeman said:* “The fundamental purpose behind the building of the cathedral library is to ln(‘\lk"\le the spirit of learning on Mount St. Alban with the spirit of vorship in the cathedral edifice. This ideal implies something more than the acquiring of information. “Oxford was first an assembly of scholars who came there to prosecute their studies. Then students came to sit_under them and they have contin- ued to come until this day. why Oxford is a seat of learning. “Ours is an age of specialization. It is becoming increasingly clear that, if we are to meet the problems and issues of our present age, we must more and more develop specialists who can speak with authority on re- ligion and its several agencies. ““We must command the best schol- arship. The best scholars must be thoroughly informed if we are to re- sist the fallacies and unreasoning ar- guments of those who deny the valid- ity of the Christlan faith and chal- lenge the importance of the Chris- tian church.
