As cultural and educational institutions, libraries have, from the very beginning
of their existence in this country, enjoyed the encouragement and
support of a host of friends. This has been true no less for public institutions
than for private institutions. It is clear from any reading of the historical
record that important libraries do not come into being without the vision,
imagination, and determination of individuals who not only give support
themselves, but also encourage others to do so. This tradition of contributing
books, and funds for books, has an especially long history in higher education
as demonstrated most clearly in two of the country's oldest universities
Yale and Harvard.
