Show THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH SALT LAKE CITY 84112 UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES December 2 0, 1971 J. Willard Marriott 4500 Garfield Washington, D.C. 2 0007 Dear Mr. Marriott: As the new Director of Marriott Library, one of my first obvious responsibilities was to prepare a report of library resource material purchased from funds established by your very generous gift. Mr. W . David Laird, former Acquisitions Librarian and now Associate Director of the Library, has been intimately involved with the various purchases and the administration of the Marriott Fund. He, therefore, has compiled the interim report which follows. I hope that it will give you a meaningful picture of the very important acquisitions which are helping to make the Marriott Library one of the outstanding research libraries in the intermountain region. Dr. Aziz Atiya, our Distinguished Professor of History and former Director of the Middle East Center, had planned to visit Washington, D.C. during the Christmas Holidays, and has graciously offered to deliver this report to you. If you have any questions concerning it, I shall be happy to try to answer them and hope that you will visit us at the first opportunity so that we can show you some of the items which have now been added to the collection of Marriott Library. Sincerely, &. -fl4<J^ Brighajn D. Mads en Director of Libraries BDMrsr Enclosure |
