First-Class Staff   1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8

Becker envisioned a diverse staff of librarians who would be given leave "for training in advanced library techniques" at the University of Washington School of Librarianship.

They should be carefully...selected so as to produce a first-class staff, and reap top public relations for the library profession.…In return...their training would acquaint them with new dimensions and frontiers in library materials, services, and theories (5).
