Librarian Metcalf to Join Rutgers Faculty

Keyes D. Metcalf, retiring Director of the University Library, has been appointed professor at the Graduate School of Library Service in Rutgers University.

In announcing the appointment, which is effective in the fall, Lewis W. Jones, Rutgers president, said yesterday that "In persuading Keyes Metcalf, one of the nations' most distinguished librarians, to join the faculty of our new Graduate School of Library Service, we have practically granted a high standard of academic performance."

Since Metcalf's appointment as College Librarian in 1937, the Library has added almost two million books. On his retirement, Metcalf will be succeeded as Director of the University Library by Paul H. Buck, former Provost.
