      Editorial. Outlines the reasons why the struggle to change the library at the University of Michigan is at the cutting edge of the most important movements in the academy and academic libraries in the next decade. Observation that the library is used to educate students coming from every culture, nation and minority group; Challenges for the library, including the transition of students to university life; Discussion of the expectation of Americans that immigrants assimilate and become integrated into society; Argument that sensitivity to racism and prejudice has become deadened in the U.S.; Development of programs by librarians to help assimilate immigrants; Opinion that ethnic minorities in universities and colleges receive respect for their languages, literatures, and cultures.
