C&RL News When looking at the decade of the 1950s through the lens of ACRL, it is easy to see the zeitgeist of the time. The Cold War was in full swing, and there was much discussion of how to handle the impending crisis. For example, the American Association of Museums asked Milton Lord, past president of ALA, to use his connection to both ALA and ACRL to determine if “national library organizations would be interested in making an appeal to the federal government” to establish regional shelters around the United States. The beginning of the decade was also seen as the start of a “Golden Age” for higher education. The passage of the GI Bill after World War II meant that millions of veterans were able to go to college, which contributed to public support of higher education. The expansion of academic libraries in the 1950s was linked to the growth in revenues and enrollments in higher education. In 1950 there were a total of 1,851 academic institutions in the United States with an enrollment of 2,444,9000; by 1959 there were 2,004 postsecondary institutions with an enrollment of 3,639,847. There was also a boom in undergraduate libraries. Harvard University added a library in the late 1940s, specifically for their undergraduate students. The University of Michigan followed, adding an undergraduate library in 1958. In 1949, ACRL surveyed library construction projects and 24 libraries across the United States responded. A 1952 survey by the ACRL Building Committee found that new 100 libraries would be built before 1960. Articles in College a n d R e s e a r c h Libraries highlighted many new libraries throughout the decade, including the Linda Hall Library at the University of Kansas in 1955, and the University Library at the University of New Hampshire in 1959. 8 The boom in academic libraries benefited ACRL: membership rose from 4,623 in 1950 to 7,084 in 1959, an increase of more than 53%. At the same time there was interest in increasing ACRL institutional memberSarah H. Northam Cruising through the ’50s A decade in ACRL history
