We are glad to know that the central library of Madras University is celebrating its jubilee after serving the academic community and others for more than 100 years of its existence. With a good collection of books and journals it is a fertile ground for increase in productivity of mind and intellectual property to those who seek after knowledge and skill.
The undersigned who took his Masters in Economics in the year 1970 from the University of Madras pursued his advanced study in a couple of subjects needed for the competitive exams in UPSC. Besides others, Madras University Library provided the solid base for preparations that enabled him to compete successfully both in the written as well as personal interview. For about three months in the beginning of the calendar year 1970, I was the first one to enter the library at 8.00 AM and the last one to leave it in the evening at 8.00 PM. Old records can prove this point if necessary.
Kudos for its service to the literary and scientific world and wish all success on its march to another centenary year.
