TOO MANY POOR
BOOKS HURT U. S.
Butler Says Slovenly Reading
Matter Roods Country
IN THE WAY OF EDUCATION.
Annual Report of President of Colum
bia University Laments Fact That
Nation Is Flooded With Poor Read
ing Matter—Asserts That Fewer and
Better Books Are Sadly Needed.
j-New York.—“Too much slovenly
reading matter stands in the way of
education and enlightenment,” says j
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler in' his j
yearly report as president of Coliim- i
biu university.
' "In no Held of human interest,” snys j
Dr. Butler, speaking of the harm of !
worthless books, “is the substitution 1
of quantity for quality more fraught j
with damage and disorder than in that
of reading. The builders of the con
stitution and the great lawyers of the
colonial period knew but few books,
but the books they knew were first
rate books, and they knew them well.
“Such a task as that which Gibbon
set himself over a century ago would
be impossible today, even for a syndi
cate of Gibbons. There are too many
books now to enable another history of
the decline and fall of the Roman em
pire to be composed.
“Productivity of the highest type is
checked by the excess of facilities.
This is true both of books and of phys
ical apparatus. We could get along
well with far fewer books and far less j
apparatus, and we should be likely to
get more ideas and a higher type of
human being. The universities of the
world search restlessly for truth, but

DR. NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER.
too often they overlook the Indubitable
which lies at their feet.”
Gifts to Columbia during the year ag
gregated $1,605,935. The university
showed a deficit of $03,821 for the
year.
One striking feature brought out by
the report is what President Butler
calls “the literally stupendous change
In the relations between the university
and the public which has been brought
about since the reorganization of 1890
and the prosecution of the policies of
expansion and new activity then for
mulated.”
This change is amply demonstrated
by the fact that the gifts received by
Columbia from 1754 to 1890, a period
of 130 years, did not exceed in value
$200,000. During the administration
of President I.ow (1890-1901) the sum
of $5,400,000 was received by the Insti
tutions that make up Columbia univer
sity, and during the administration of
President Butler $20,300,000 has been
added by gift from several hundred
different persons.
