LATE DR. BROOKS OUTSTANDING
FIGURE DEVELOPMENT OF
. territory
» Mrs. Alfred H. Brooks has decided
t that the library of her husband, the
1 late Dr. Alfred H. Brooks who for
many years was Chief of the Geologi
I cal Survey in Alaska, shall go to the
5 Alaskan Agricultural College anc
» School of Mines. This decision was
given to President Bunnell on his re
cent trip to Washington, D. C., aftei
he had told Mrs. Brooks about the col
j lege and the help the library woulc
II be to the institution. Mrs. Brook
t wished to place it where it would d<
* the most good and finally decided tha
1 this disposition of the library woul<
) obtain a result and would be in keel
* ing with the work done for Alaska b;
her husband.
► The library contains approximate!
! 2,250 bound volumes and about 4,50
pamplets and bulletins. A large num
► ber of the publications are technics
’ and along the line of Dr. Brooks
^ scientific work. There is a fine se
* lection of books on Alaska, some o
’ which are now very difficult to ol
» tain. It was the library of a bus
* man who had assembled a large nun
ber of .publications concerning th<
► Territory in order that he might hav
, for ready reference, authoritative ma
terial on every line of activity in tin
\ Territory.
; The girt is accepted wim uie uuu«i
standing that it will be kept intact ii
f the library of the College, seperatel;
indexed and known as the Dr. Alfre<
H. Brooks Library. It is not to bi
> used for library purposes until tin
> College has a fire-proof library build
^ ing. In the meantime, it is to b<
* stored in some fire-proof structure.
Concerning this gift, President Bun
nell, a recent visitor in Seward, says
“I am greatly pleased with this dona
tion to the library of the College. I
means much more than the mone;
value of the books. Dr. Brooks wa
an outstanding figure in the develop
ment of Alaska. The Territory wa
his life work and to have for our stu
dents his selection of publications i
having before us all the time the ma
terial that he considered of the mos
importance in his investigations. Th
writings of a distinguished author ma
be considered the fruits of his labor
but hiS library will provide one wit
the avenues of approach to his seven
abjectives. The sentiment that goe
with this gift is wholesome and wil
I trust, lead others to continue th
work of making our library an ou
standing feature- of the ‘Farthej
North’ College.”
