Madison, Wis., Feb. 9. An increase
of salaries amounting to nearly 25 per
cent per annum and beginning with
the second semester of the current
year has just been granted to the
faculty of the University of Wisconsin
by action of the board of regents.
In announcing the increase to the
faculty, President Birge said:
"The regents of the university have
made a substantial addition to the sal
aries of the faculty to take effect the
second semester of the current year.
The addition applies to those persons
who were members of the faculty in
preceding years and only in exception
al cases to those who entered the fac
ulty with the current year. This change
in salaries has not been made on the
basis of a flat percentage, but the addi
tion amounts to the average rate of
nearly 25 per cent of professors and
to a somewhat smaller rate for instructors."

I have repeatedly stated to the state
librarian that the university admin
istration would oppose such a move
ment strenuously. No such piopos
ul was made to the American library
association committee which recent
ly visited Lincoln. These facts show
the absurdity of the rumor which
is allowed to circulate so persistent
ly through the state house. The
facts in the case are as follows:
Outlines New Plan
"In 1916 I outlined a plan which
had the approval of the state librar
ian whereby the state library should
give up the development of the gen
eral and miscellaneous collection
specializing in law and related sub
jects and whereby the university
library should be recognized as the
general reference library of the slate
with the other state supported li
braries located in the same building.
"This plan was endorsed by the
Nebraska library association.
"A Joint legislative committee in
1917 studied the situation and recom
mended that the policy of develop
ing a general and miscellaneous col
lection at the state library be aban
doned. "Recently a committtee of tb
American library association made
a survey of the libraries In the light
of library experience throughout the
country and its report just subir.'tted
to Governor McKelvie recommends
that a general or miscellaneous col
lection at the state library be discon
tinued. This committee also recom
mends that the constitutional conven
tion omit from the new constitution
the provision in the old constitution
authorizing miscellaneous collection
as a part of the state library.
"On the other hand the state li
brarian has announced at a public
meeting that as soon as ample li
brary facilities are provided in tin
new capitol he will actively develop
the general and miscellaneous col
lection of the state library.
"Nebraska Is one of four states
where the state university and the
state capitol are located In the same
city. The state library association,
a joint legislative committee, and a
commission of libraiians represent
ing the national professional organ
ization have all recognized that it is
good business for the state to take
advantage of this fact, by develop
ing the university library as the
general reference collection for the
state thuB saving the expense of
building up and maintaining another
general library at the state house.
World Herald States Issue.
"The World Herald editorial Jan.
31, 1920 states the issue clearly:
" 'The state of Nebraska owns and
supports a large and growing miscel
laneous collection of books in the
state university library in the city
of Lincoln. It also owns a small
and not obviously useful miscellane
ous collection of books rather hap
hazardly brought together as are ad
Junet of the state law library at the
state capitol in Lincoln a few min
utes distant from the university li
brary. No one doubts the necessity
of the university library; no books,
no college; that is evident. No one
questions the necessity for a law li
brary at the state house; the court
and the legislature both need It. Bul
it is certainly not clear to many per
sons why In the same city and wllh'
in easy walk, the state should be
called upon to pay for the support
and Increase of two general libraries
both miscellaneous and inevitably
duplicating one another's purchases.
"You see therefore that it Is auc
tioned by no one that the location
and control of the state law library
should be in the hands of the su
preme court. There Is, however,
strong conviction that the t,e
should not pay for two general
brarles In Lincoln and the decision
should not be made once for w
constitutional provision but should w
left open for legislation In accordant:
with the need as the state grows n
develops. Very truly yours.
