He started by quietly disobeying the instructions of the obstructive member of the Committee of Management. ...Depending almost entirely upon funds outside the original endowment, which was used for operating the Library, he added 5,500 books of exceptional quality. ...The other facet of his achievement has to do with the use of the Library. ...Mr. Wroth undertook through his own writing to demonstrate the breadth and depth of the histoirical concept upon which the John Carter Brown was founded and has been developed."
