"Great Books" in the Business Library

"GREAT BOOKS" IN THE BUSINESS LIBRARY

Back before the "age of political correctness" and Allan Bloom, the Business Library was the recipient of a large donation of "classics". Apparently the books were purchased by Walter Thompson who is regarded by many as the "founder of management education in Canada". It was Professor Thompson's belief that students seeking a business education should also be exposed to great ideas and literature.

The "collection" actually consists of several hundred volumes that are kept in the Main Reference Room. The first 50+ volumes are part of the "Great Books of the Western World" series edited by Robert Maynard Hutchins (the call number for these volumes is AC1.M63A33). A great deal has been written about this project. See, for example, Robert M. Hutchins: Portrait of an Educator, by Mary Ann Dzuback and Unseasonable Truths: The Life of Robert Maynard Hutchins, by Harry S. Ashmore. The next 10 volumes were edited by Mortimer Adler in an attempt to "provide a way into the "Great Books..." These volumes are adjacent to the main collection under the call number AC1.G74.

Update: For additional historical context see the new book by Alex Beam: A Great Idea at the Time: The Rise, Fall, and Curious Afterlife of the Great Books. DBW E169.12.B333 2008

The rest of the collection consists of the distinctive Modern Library edition of the "World's Best Books". The authors range from Henry Adams (The Education of Henry Adams) to Alfred Zimmern (The Greek Commonwealth: Politics and Economics in Fifth Century Athens). They are located in the same area under the call number AC1 M63. The entire collection is catalogued and all titles show up on the Western Libraries Catalogue. In addition, the Business Library staff have created a separate guide to the entire collection and a list of all titles is available.
