Harrison, Chicago attorney and life-long student of American history. THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE Medical Library has received a Charles Caldwell Col- lection from Dr. Emmet F. Horine, historian of medicine in the Ohio Valley. The collec- tion, gathered over a period of forty years, is accompanied by a bio-bibliographical study written by Dr. Horine: Biographical Sketch and Guide to the Writings of Charles Cald- well, M. D. (1772-1853). (Brooks, Kentucky, High Acres Press, 1960, 155 p.). YALE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY has been given 450 volumes of the late Bruce Rogers, re- garded the foremost book designer of the 20th century. The donor is Dr. Harold M. Marvin of New Haven, for many years Mr. Rogers' personal physician and close friend. Most of the books are personally inscribed by the designer. Included are two rare vol- umes of the Rogers' Oxford Lectern Bible, measuring 13 by 18 inches and weighing 16 pounds each. By contrast there is a 2-inch volume of "The Book of Ruth," printed on a long strip of paper and mounted on two small wooden rollers with projecting ends. By twisting the handles, the scroll can be turned in either direction. A SET OF THE FIRST four Folios of Shake- speare's plays has been presented to the St. Andrews University, London, by the Folger Library of Washington, D. C. The presenta- tion has been made on permanent loan as a symbol of the desire of the Folger Library to extend the benefits of literary scholarship throughout the world. BuiLDINGS CoNSTRUCTION has begun on an addition to the library of the University of California at Santa Barbara. It will increase the book space to accommodate 262,000 volumes and NOVEMBER 1960 it will double the seating capacity. An out- standing feature will be a new study hall which can remain open when the rest of the library is closed. LIBRARIES of three off-campus centers of the University of Kentucky recently moved into their own quarters in new buildings. They are located in Covington, Cumber- land, and Henderson. A fourth center li- brary is at Ashland. CoNSTRUCTION HAS BEGUN on an extension to the Technical Library at Northwestern University. Book capacity will be increased from 60,000 volumes to 110,000; study car- rels, a microfilm and typing rom, and a semi- nar room will be added. The estimated cost of $250,000 will include air conditioning for the new area. THE UNIVERSITY of Notre Dame has an- nounced plans for a 13-story library building to house 2,000,000 volumes, replacing the present one having a capacity of only 400,- 000 books. It will be erected next year and will be named the Memorial Library. One of the special features will be a central tower to be devoted principally to specialized uni- versity research units. Included in the plans for the building are an auditorium, archives, the Mediaeval Institute, the Jacques Mari- tain Center, committee offices, special col- lections, an audio-visual department, and headquarters for the Notre Dame Library Association. TRANSYLVANIA COLLEGE has opened the Farris Rare Book Room, named in honor of Mr. and Mrs. H. Bennett Farris, Richmond, Kentucky, whose gift made possible the fur- nishings. Among the collections it will house are early sports books and prints, the Hor- ace Holley collection, and letters written by Jefferson Davis during his imprisonment at Fort Monroe, Virginia, in 1865 and 1866. The room in fireproof and has been de- signed to provide constant temperature and humidity control for preservation of the col- lections. 477 MEETINGS THE THEME of the 25th annual conference of the Graduate Library School of the Uni- versity of Chicago in August was "Persistent Issues in American Librarianship." Ralph T. Esterquest, librarian of Harvard Medical School Library, spoke on "Co-operation in Library Service." He suggested that we ask if our present cooperative efforts are con- structive, retrogressive or just a habit. Fred- erick H. Wagman, director of libraries, Uni- versity of Michigan, in his talk on "Library R equirements of the Modern College," stated that future education would be fraudulent unless adequate libraries :ue established for college programs at the time the programs are organized. Bernard R. Berelson, director of the Bureau of Applied Social Research, Columbia University, entertainingly sum- marized his forthcoming publication on grad- uate education in the United States. His topic was "Implications of Graduate Teach- ing and Research." Eugene H. Wilson, vice- president and dean of faculties, University of Colorado, reviewed the subject. "The Preparation and Use of the Professional Staff." Mr. Wilson believes that the present five-year program is unrealistic in attempting to satisfy the demand for librarians; his pro- posal of a four-year program with fifteen to eighteen hours of library science stimulated lively discussion. TEN YEARS of development in microrepro- duction and data processing will be observed next April in Chicago when the National Microfilm Association holds its tenth annual meeting and convention at the Sherman Hotel. Newest microreproduction equipment, including modern cameras, processing ma- chines, and reading equipment will be among the technical items exhibited. This con- vention, like its predecessors, will provide the best opportunity for representatives of industry, government, and the library and academic fields to see at first-hand the rapidly developing techniques in the data process- ing field. Attendance is open to everyone in- terested in these developments. Details on registration may be obtained from Vernon D. Tate, executive secretary, P. 0. Box 386, Annapolis, Md. PUBLICATIONS A Guide to U. S. Indexing and Abstract- 478 ing Services in Science and Technology is meant to aid in searching scientific and tech- nological literature, and to stimulate co- ordination and improvement of coverage by producers of bibliographic services. Of the 492 listed titles, 393 are regarded as ab- stracting and 99 as indexing services. Pre- pared by the Library of Congress for the National Federation of Science Abstracting and Indexing Services under a grant from the National Science Foundation, this guide of 79 pages may be obtained from the fed- eration at 301 East Capitol Street, Washing- ton 3, D. C. The price is $2.00. LARGE RESEARCH LIBRARIES will profit from a new program of reviews designed to eval- uate expensive micro-publication projects. Scholars in appropriate subject fields will write the reviews. Comment will be made concerning the usefulness of the microform, the organization of the material reproduced, and the bibliographic controls provided. When desirable, photographic technicians and librarians will be asked to write supple- mental reviews concerning questions of opti- cal quality, adequacy of cataloging, etc. All producers of scholarly micropublished mate- rial will be solicited in an effort to obtain re- view copies of new projects. These reviews will be published in Library Resources and Technical Services. Dr. Gustave A. Harrer, assistant director of the Stanford University Library, is the coordinator. STANDARDS for indexes to learned and sci- entific periodicals are concisely enumerated in a leaflet, obtainable from the Honorary Editor, The Indexer, 120 Grasmere Avenue, Wembley, Middlesex, England. Approved by the Council of the Society of Indexers, the standards outline minimum requirements for adequate indexes so vital to librarians and research workers. A PUBLICATION SERVICE for masters theses similar to that available for doctoral disserta- tions is being proposed by University Micro- films at the request of the National Science Foundation and the Association of Research Libraries. Brief printed abstracts in journal form, and complete theses as positive micro- film or as xerographic enlargements in book form, would be published. The journal would be known as Masters Abstracts. COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES DUE FOR PUBLICATION this fall are the sci- entific reports of the World War II Office of Scientific Research and Development now being declassified to be made available through the Library of Congress. Approxi- mately 30,000 reports in the collection have been processed and organized for use as li- brary materials. AN EXPERIMENTAL COPY of Chemical Titles designed to increase awareness of new chemi- cal research has been published by the Amer- ican Chemical Society. It contains keyword indexes (general and biochemical) , bibliog- raphy, author index and list of periodicals.

THE INAUGURAL EDITION of Index Chemi- cus, volume 1, number 1, published by the Institute for Scientific Information, Philadel- phia, will be useful to the research scientist interested in new chemical compounds. It indexes new compounds within thirty days after their first mention in the journals, thereby overcoming the time lag of conven- tional indexing and abstracting- services. In- dex Ch emicus consists of three basic sections: a register of new compounds, a molecular formula index, and an author index. It will be issued monthly. A BIBLIOGRAPHIC SERVICE entitled Current Legal Bibliography has been announced by the Harvard Law School Library. Nine is- sues will appear monthly during the aca- demic year. Each will include a compre- hensive listing of monographs, substantial journal articles, and the contents of collected works of all types that have been currently received b y the library. The monthly service will become a supplement to bound annual volumes to be published under the title of Annual Legal Bibliography. These volumes, the first of which is to appear in the fall of 1961 , will combine the total 4,000 entries of Current Legal Bibliography with approxi- mately 6,000 additional references to books an articles not included in the separate is- NOVEMBER 1960 sues.

Started by a Dutch student of medieval civili- zation as an instrument to analyze the best products of contemporary scholarship in hu- manistic areas, it demonstrates to scholars all over the world the value of thorough re- viewing. During the first twelve years of its existence, it has dealt with 327 American publications in full-length reviews, while hundreds of additional titles have been listed in its bibliographies. So far, 156 Amer- ican scholars have contributed reviews to Erasmus, published by Eduard Roether, Darmstadt, Germany. "New Dimensions in Higher Education," is the general title of a series of studies be- ing done by Office of Education, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Wash- ington, D. C. Each publication deals with a particular educational problem facing the Nation's colleges and universities. Five of the series have been completed. Independent Study, by Winslow R. Hatch and Ann Bennet, (36 p., 25¢), concerns itself with implications for increasing educational effectiveness through independent study. Ex- perimentation suggests that greater reliance can be placed on well-planned independent study throughout the college years for aver- age as well as superior students. Such pro- grams have implications for library service and will command the attention of li- brarians. THE ALA OFFICE FOR ADULT EDUCATION has prepared a four-page circular for the 1961 White House Conference on Aging, suggesting ways for all types of libraries to contribute to the welfare of the nation through their special services. Single copies have been distributed to many libraries. Ad- ditional copies may be obtained from the Special Staff on Aging, U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Washing- ton 25, D. C. Effectiveness in Teaching} by Winslow R. 480 Hatch and Ann Bennet (28 p., 20¢), deals with recent research on teaching effective- ness and bears upon the critical problem of faculty utilization. New research suggests that the critical factor is not so much class size but rather the nature of the teaching that effects learning, and that problem- oriented approaches to learning are effective. The Experimental College, by Winslow R. Hatch (13 p., 15¢), extends the first and second of this series of studies by reporting the extent to which experimental colleges and programs make use of independent study and new approaches to teaching and learning. In adition it concerns itself with some of the implications in these new de- velopments for the administration of institu- tions of higher learning. Impact of College by Mervin B. Freedman (27 p., 15¢) gives an account of the more prominent research studies on the effect of college experience on the student. The find- ings are of value in making changes in col- lege procedures. Management of Learning by E. D. Duryea (37 p., 20¢), discusses principal areas of con- cern in academic administration. The report calls attention to the newer ideas in college and university administration and provides further impetus to the development of this field. .These publications may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, Govern- ment Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C. IF vou are interested in oriental studies and libraries of the Near East, you will want to see a copy of Library World, the first li- brary periodical in Arabic, now in its sec- ond volume.

Library Display , by Stephanie Borgwardt (Johannesburg, Witwatersrand University Press, 1960, 190 p., £2) is an illustrated vol- ume on how to make the library "a source of inspiration and delight." American librarians may find some unusual suggestions for ex- hibits and displays in this work from South Africa. PAUL WAsSERMAN, librarian and associate professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration, Cornell Univer- sity, is the author of Toward a Methodology for the Formulation of Objectives in Public Libraries: An Empirical Analysis (Ph.D. dis- seration, University of Michigan, 1960, 200 p.). The study is concerned with the theory and philosophy of measurement and evalua- tion as applied to problems in three differ- ent public libraries in New York State. DR. Loms R. WILSON, dean emeritus of the Graduate Library School of the Univer- sity of Chicago and formerly librarian at the University of North Carolina, is the author of Harry Woodburn Chase, who was presi- dent of the universities of North Carolina and Illinois, and New York University (Chapel Hill, 1960, 55 p., $2.00). This is an interesting story of the activities of a uni- versity president in higher education; it is also a document that shows, in brief form, the progress and direction of higher edu- cation in the twentieth century.

SALARIES of academic librarians at the Uni- versity of California at Berkeley have in- creased considerably since 1946. In that year the initial salary for the Librarian 1 position ranged from $2400 to $2880; today it is $4980 to $6060. The Librarian IV position which paid $4800 to $5400 in 1946 now pays $8520 to $10,344. Salaries for Librarian n 482 and III have increased comparably. These figures exemplify the upward trend of aca- demic library salaries. THE SCHOOL OF LIBRARY SERVICE of the University of California at Los Angeles has announced establishment of the Zeitlin and Ver Brugge Lectures in Bibliography. Each year there will be a lecture by a distin- guished scholar in the field of bibliography. A generous gift from Josephine and Jacob Zeitlin has made it possible to support the lectureship for a five-year period. THE RuTGERS UNIVERSITY Graduate School of Library Service announces the availabil- ity of a new partial-tuition scholarship to be known as the Lowell A. Martin Scholar- ship. Applications should be addressed to the Dean, Graduate School of Library Serv- ice, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J. THE LIBRARY OF STANFORD UNIVERSITY opened a special exhibit of its Bernard DeVoto papers with a program including Catherine Drinker Bowen, Edith Mirrielees, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., and Wallace Stegner. The DeVoto papers were purchased, together with Bernard DeVoto's personal library, in 1956 from his estate. A gift from Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Heller of Ather- ton, California, and a donation from the William Robertson Coe Fund made the purchase possible. The papers, which num- ber over forty thousand items, have been arranged and cataloged and are open to the public. DeVoto's interest in and wide knowledge of various important fields relating to Amer- ican life and letters in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries-including history, edu- cation, literary criticism, conservation of natural resources, politics, the Mormon Church, the American West before the Civil War, free speech, the Bread Loaf Writers' Conferences, and publishing-form the basis of a voluminous correspondence.

Mencken, Henry Nash Smith, and many others. COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES Personnel In GusTAVE AuGUSTUS HARRER, Boston University has selected as its next director of libraries an energetic young man of intel- ligence and curiosity. These characteristics, corn bined with a very fine educational and personal back- ground, an affinity for hard work, and the humanistic ap- proach to librarian- ship, have taken Gus a long way in a short time. He carne to the Gustave A. Harrer University of Ten- nessee in 1954 after finishing his formal library training at Illi- nois, having previously acquired the A.B., A.M., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of North Carolina. His library experience consisted of student assistant and nonpro- fessional work at North Carolina and Illi- nois. As assistant order librarian at Tennes- see (later associate order librarian), he was invaluable to us with his knowledge of lan- guages, his facility with faculty contacts, and his ready acceptance of increasing responsi- bility. His work was more than merely satis- factory; he did a really fine job, and I know the people at Stanford, where he went in the spring of 1957 as chief acquisition librarian and stayed to become assistant director for central services, found this to be tr.ue during his tenure there. Being highly conscious of his responsibility to the profession, Gus entered into regional and local library activities with his usual zeal. He did important committee work for the Southeastern and Tennessee library associa- tions, taking on such demanding and thank- less jobs as local arrangements, editing, and similar assignments which require energy, an analytical frame of mind, endurance, and equanimity, all of which Gus possesses in abundance. With Alex Ladenson of the Chicago Pub- lic Library, he is now invtstigating the prac- NOVEMBER 1960 ticability of the use of code numbers in book order work. This study, sponsored by ALA under a grant from the Council on Library Resources, is the type of project the timor- ous, the lazy, or the hidebound give up on before they start, seeing it as guarded around by insurmountable odds. But Gus, being neither timorous, nor lazy, nor hidebound, loves to get his teeth into such a problem. If it can be done, he can work out a way to do it; if it can't be done, he will tell us why. Boston University is to be congratulated on its new director of libraries. The faculty and staff will find him receptive, friendly, and stimulating, supplementing his preoc- cupation with running a good library with his genuine interest in community and uni- versity life-William H. ]esse. The belief that outstanding teaching can be expected only from persons who have been seasoned in library work has often been expressed by LAWRENCE CLARK PowELL. Now that the full faculty of the UCLA School of Library Service has been an- nounced it is of interest to observe how this belief has been carried out. Lawrence C. Powell Andrew H. Horn ANDREW H. HoRN has been appointed as- sistant dean and associate professor. For seven years Dr. Horn was on the UCLA Li- brary staff serving in turn as head of the de- partment of special collections, assistant li- brarian, associate librarian and acting li- brarian. He was university librarian at North Carolina for three years and college li- 483 Barbara Boyd JVfrs. T. P. Keatinge brarian at Occidental College for two years. His teaching responsibility will include bib- liography, reference and documentation, and the library history segment of the introduc- tion to library service, which will be taught jointly by the staff. In the First Annual Report of the School of Library Service, for the year 1959-1960, Powell takes special note of Horn's achieve- ments in readying the School for its opening this fall. "We shall open for instruction, as scheduled, on September 19, 1960, thanks to the extraordinary devotion, intelligence, and energy of a single man-Andrew H. Horn. Returning to the campus of his alma mater at an initial sacrifice, Dr. Horn cheerfully accepted his responsibility; and I cannot open this report without rendering him my heartfelt thanks. The School will be forever in his debt for what he did for it in this pioneer year." BARBARA BoYD, lecturer in public library work (city, county, regional, federal), will bring to her assignment twenty years of ex- perience in county and state library work on the Pacific coast. Miss Boyd holds the degree of Master of Public Administration. MRs. TATIANA P. KEATINGE will serve as lecturer in library service. For more than twenty years Mrs. Keatinge has worked in public, university and school libraries, and she has taught school library administration at the University of Arizona. MRS. FRANCES CLARKE SAYERS will assume responsibility for teaching children's library service. Since her retirement from the head- ship of children's work in the New York Public Library in 1953, Mrs. Sayers has taught children's literature in the UCLA Eng- lish department. 484 Mrs. F. C. Sayers Seymour Lubetzky SEYMOUR LunETZKY as professor of library service will bring to the teaching of catalog- ing and classification more than twenty-five years of experience. For the past seventeen years, Mr. Lubetzky has been at the Library of Congress where he has achieved an inter· national reputation for his work on revision of cataloging rules. With his appointment as Dean of the Li- brary School and professor of library serv- ices, Lawrence Clark Powell announced his retirement as university librarian, bringing to a close the leadership of seventeen years which took the UCLA Library through a dy- namic period of growth and expansion. On September I, RoBERT EDMOND BooTH joined the faculty of the department of li- brary education of the College of Education, Wayne State Univer- sity as associate pro- fessor of library edu- cation. He received his A.B. from Wayne in 1941, his B.S. in L.S. from the School of Li.brary Service, Columbia, in 1942, and his M.S. in L. S. from the University of Michigan in 1943. From 1944 to 1946 Robert E. Booth he was editor and bibliographer at Uni- versity Microfilms, Ann Arbor. In 1946 and 194 7 he served as reference librarian in the Peabody Institute Library, Baltimore, Mary- land, and from 194 7 to 1956 he was associate librarian at M.I.T., Cambridge. He has also served as library building and management COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES --- -------------------------------------------------' consultant to a number of libraries. In 1956 he was appointed to the faculty of the School of Library Science, Western Reserve Univer- sity, where his time was divided between re- search in the Center for Documentation and Communication Research, and teaching courses in library administration, academic libraries, library building, and microrecord- ing. In 1960 he received his Ph.D. from Western Reserve. He is married to the former Ada Margaret Pfohl. The Booths have two daughters, Ellen, 14 and Meg, II. We at Western Reserve are delighted with the new opportunities that Wayne will bring to Bob, but he leaves a vacancy here that will be hard to fill. Not only has he brought to his instructional and research duties a rich background of experience and a sound professional knowledge, but also he has been particularly effective in working with and advising students and aiding in the recruit- ment program of the school. We regret more than we can say his departure from the West- ern Reserve community, but we have known all along that his promotion to positions of greater responsibility and scope was inevit- able, and we are happy that we could have him with us for this brief period of four years. We predict for him a real future of ac- complishment in education for librarianship. Certainly the profession needs more people with his capabilities, and we are proud to be able to include him among the alumni of Western Reserve-Jesse H. Shera. FRANK J.
