Personnel 

T H E A P P O I N T M E N T of Raynard C. Swank 
to the deanship of the School of Librarian-
ship, University of California, Berkeley, is an 

occasion for congrat-
ulation, not only to 
the Berkeley school 
but to the whole field 
of library education, 
here and abroad. Dr. 
Swank brings to the 
p o s i t i o n t h e a t t r i -
butes essential to true 
leadership in library 
education: a wide 
background of pro-
fessional experience, 
a keen interest in 
problems of educa-

tion, an aptitude for research, and a warm 
and human understanding. 

Dr. Swank received his B.A. from the Col-
lege of Wooster (Ohio) in 1934; his B.S. in 
L.S. from Western Reserve University in 
1937; and his Ph.D. from the University of 
Chicago Graduate Library School in 1944. 
H e began his library career as cataloger on 
the staff of the University of Colorado Li-
braries, 1937-38; and became documents and 
serials librarian there from 1938-39; and doc-
uments librarian from 1939-41. While work-
ing on his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago 
he also served as a bibliographer on the uni-
versity library staff; following the award of 
the degree he was made visiting lecturer at 
the University of Minnesota, 1944-45, and its 
chief catalog librarian and assistant professor 
from 1945-46. In 1946 he became librarian 
and professor at the University of Oregon, 
and in 1948, director of Stanford University 
library, a post he has held until the present. 
H e served as visiting lecturer at California 
in 1953, and from July 1, 1959 to 1961 he was 
on leave from the Stanford University li-
brary to serve as director of the International 
Relations Office of the A L A . 

Dr. Swank has made many notable contri-
butions to the professional literature of li-

3 2 8 

brarianship. His survey report on the library 
of Stanford University, written with Louis 
Round Wilson, appeared in 1947. From Jan-
uary to March of 1954 he served as consultant 
to the library of the University of the Philip-
pines, and published a report with recom-
mendations on "Libraries of the University 
of the Philippines" in that year. H e has also 
conducted surveys of the technical services at 
Los Angeles Public Library, at the Univer-
sity of California at Los Angeles, and at the 
University of Illinois. In 1957, his report on 
the "Pacific Northwest Bibliographic Cen-
t e r " appeared. As director of the International 
Relations Office he spoke and wrote widely 
on library education throughout the world, 
and he is coauthor, with Melville Ruggles, of 
the report soon to be published on the ex-
change mission of American librarians to 
Russia in 1961. His paper, " T h e Help W e 
Give" (ALA Bulletin, September 1960) is al-
ready, and deservedly, a classic s t a t e m e n t — 
not only for those interested in international 
library relations, but for everyone concerned

A B R A H A M G. D U K A R ' S multicultural back-
ground will be helpful in his new career as 
director of libraries at Yeshiva University in 
New York. Born in Poland, and residing in 
this country since 1923, he studied at the 
Theological School and the Teachers Insti-
tute of Yeshiva, whose faculty he is about to 
join. H e holds the Bachelor of Arts degree 
from the City College of New York, and a 
doctorate in history from Columbia. 

Dr. Dukar began library work as a stack 
boy and later was a cataloger at the library 
of the Jewish Theological Seminary of Amer-
ica. His first professional position was as re-
search librarian at the Graduate School for 
Jewish Social Work. F o r the past six years, 
he has been president and professor of social

studies at the College of Jewish Studies in 
Chicago. 

An avicl researcher and specialist in bib-
liography, modern Jewish history and cul-
tural adjustment, Dr. Dukar has published 
many studies and has contributed to mag-
azines, encyclopedias, and collective volumes. 

In addition to his duties as director of li-
braries at Yeshiva University, Dr. Dukar will 
also be professor of history and social institu-
tions. H e will commence his new duties in 
February 1963. 

E V A N I. F A R B E R , leaving Emory in July 
1962 to become librarian of Earlham Col-
lege, entered the library profession from the 

department of teach-
ing. H e received an 
A.B. degree from the 
University of North 
C a r o l i n a in 1 9 4 4 , 
studied at Princeton 
from 1945-47 (Politi-
cal Science), and se-
cured his M.A. de-
gree from the Uni-
v e r s i t y o f N o r t h 
C a r o l i n a i n 1 9 5 3 . 
During his graduate 
studies, he taught for 
one year part-time at 

Princeton (1947), and at the University of 
Massachusetts as instructor in political sci-
ence (1948-49). About this time, he decided 
to go into library work and studied at the 
University of North Carolina where he re-
ceived his B.S. in L.S. in 1953. During his 
library studies, he worked as an assistant in 
the documents division of the University of 
North Carolina. Following graduation, he 
became librarian of Livingston State College, 
Alabama. Since coming to Emory University 
in 1955, he has served as chief of the serials 
and binding department, and in that capacity 
has done a tremendous job of building the 
library's files of scholarly journals. In addi-
tion to his regular library work, he has served 
on faculty and library committees, and taught 
a course in the evening lecture series spon-
sored by Emory's Community Education pro-
gram. 

Mr. Farber is the author of a standard 
library work, Classified List of Periodicals for 
the College Library (Boston, F a x o n Com-

pany, 1957); and "General Periodicals" which 
recently appeared in the J a n u a r y 1962 issue 
of Library Trends; he contributed to The 
Administration of the College Library, 3d 
edition, by revising Paul Bixler's chapter on 
serials and other special literature; and has 
made other important contributions to pro-
fessional journals. Recently he has served 
with Dr. William R. Pullen of Georgia State 
College Library as associate editor of South-
eastern Librarian. Mr. Farber has thrown his 
whole energy into the development of the 
collections of the Emory University library 
and has exerted a strong influence in every 
aspect of the library's work. H e has come to 
fill a very large place in the estimate of his 
fellow librarians and members of the faculty, 
and his recent appointment to the headship 
of Earlham's library comes as no surprise. 
H e is one of a diminishing group of librari-
ans who fill the highest role of bookman 
while serving at the same time with great 
competence in the administrative aspects of 
librarianship.—Guy R. Lyle. 

M A R K M . G O R M L E Y , A C R L executive secre-
tary since September 1961, has been appointed 
university librarian and professor at the Uni-

versity of Wisconsin-
Milwaukee. While 
at A L A headquar-
ters, Mr. Gormley 
has served A C R L 
and A L A admirably 
and effectively. His 
staff work at head-
quarters has been 
distinguished by a 
mature viewpoint 
and by constant at-
tention to programs 
and activities for the 
advancement of col-

lege and university librarianship. H e has 
represented A C R L and A L A in many educa-
tional and library service endeavors and has 
provided effective liaison for A C R L within 
and outside A L A . His coauthorship with 
Ralph H o p p of The Sioux Falls College Li-
brary: A Survey (ALA, 1961) resulted in a 
significant contribution to the literature of 
the field. 

A native of Wisconsin, he began his library 
career as high school librarian in his native

M i a m i B e a c h C o n f e r e n c e , J u n e 18, 1962, 
P r e s i d e n t Ellsworth called o n Past P r e s i d e n t 
Low, A C R L ' s r e p r e s e n t a t i v e to P E B C O , for 
his r e p o r t . M r . L o w i n f o r m e d the b o a r d 
that A C R L was g r a n t e d all items which it 
requested. 

H e f u r t h e r i n f o r m e d the b o a r d that A L A 
subsidy f o r divisional periodicals will be 
transferred from A L A general funds budget 
to the A L A P u b l i s h i n g D e p a r t m e n t budget. 
L e n g t h y discussion followed this a n n o u n c e -
m e n t . M r . L o w assured the b o a r d t h a t CRL 
subsidy would be i n n o way reduced by this 
action and, in fact, might substantially be 
increased. M r . L o w a n n o u n c e d that the 
A C R L p u b l i c a t i o n s officer position which 
has, in the past, been partially supported by 
CRL funds will be transferred to the A L A 
p e r s o n n e l budget. 

P r e s i d e n t Ellsworth n e x t called on M r . 
B r o w n to discuss the r e p o r t o f the A C R L 
C o m m i t t e e on P r o g r a m . Copies of the re-
port were passed to m e m b e r s o f the b o a r d 
a n d a lengthy discussion followed. ( T h i s re-
p o r t published elsewhere in this issue). M r . 
B r o w n e x p l a i n e d that the c o m m i t t e e in-
terpreted its purpose as to develop a pro-

gram of a c t i o n . T h e W i l l i a m Carlson S C A D 
r e p o r t of M a y 1958, was used as a p o i n t o f 
d e p a r t u r e . M r . Carlson was present at the 
b o a r d m e e t i n g by i n v i t a t i o n of D r . Ellsworth 
a n d D r . Stokes. H e f u r n i s h e d i n t e r e s t i n g 
i n f o r m a t i o n on the b a c k g r o u n d which led u p 
to his 1958 r e p o r t . T h e r e p o r t o f the Com-
m i t t e e on P r o g r a m was u n a n i m o u s l y accepted 
by the board. D r . Stokes was i n s t r u c t e d to im-
p l e m e n t the various changes r e c o m m e n d e d 
in the r e p o r t immediately. 

M r . L o w gave a r e p o r t on the c u r r e n t 
status of federal legislation p e r t a i n i n g to 
college a n d university libraries, now pend-
i n g before the houses of Congress. I t was his 
o p i n i o n that n o n e of the proposed legisla-
tion will pass in this session of Congress, 
b u t his remarks seemed to e n c o u r a g e a b e l i e f 
that such legislation is well on its way within 
the foreseeable f u t u r e . 

C o n s i d e r a b l e discussion was given to the 
Proposal for a New Plan for the ALA 
Conference, Chicago, 1963. I t was agreed 
that the b o a r d would f u r t h e r discuss this 
proposal at its J u n e 20 m e e t i n g . 

T h e M i d w i n t e r m i n u t e s were approved as 
published in the M a r c h CRL. All section

of Directors was called to o r d e r by V i c e 
President Stokes. D r . Stokes presided at the 
request o f P r e s i d e n t R a l p h Ellsworth. 

P E B C O representative, E d m o n Low, was 
called u p o n to clarify f u r t h e r the q u e s t i o n o f 
the effect that transfer o f CRL subsidy funds 
would have on the f u t u r e o f CRL. M r . L o w 
i n f o r m e d the b o a r d t h a t divisional periodi-
cals subsidy would h e n c e f o r t h come from 
A L A P u b l i s h i n g D e p a r t m e n t surplus, r a t h e r 
than from A L A g e n e r a l funds which come 
from dues a n d endowments. H e stated that 
a subsidy o f $ 9 , 7 2 0 will be allowed CRL 
f o r the 1962-63 year. T h i s is the figure that 
M r . Gormley's office had requested a n d rep-
resents an increase of $ 3 , 0 0 0 over the 1961-
62 year. 

I n the business m e e t i n g M r . G o r m l e y re-
p o r t e d the r e a c t i v a t i o n of the A A S L - A C R L -
D A V I J o i n t S u b c o m m i t t e e o f the A L A

b e e n requested by D r . I r v i n g L i e b e r m a n 
during M i d w i n t e r . 

Discussion was given to the u n e x p i r e d 
terms of m e m b e r s o f the A C R L C o m m i t t e e 
on O r g a n i z a t i o n now t h a t that c o m m i t t e e 
h a d b e e n t e r m i n a t e d by the a c t i o n of the 
provisions of the C o m m i t t e e on P r o g r a m re-
port. D r . G . F l i n t Purdy, president of the 
e x p i r i n g C o m m i t t e e on O r g a n i z a t i o n , assured 
the b o a r d that n o m e m b e r would be offended 
that he is b e i n g relieved of his responsibili-
ties by virtue of the a c t i o n of the b o a r d . 

M r . G o r m l e y , at the request of D r . Stokes, 
r e a d the roster of the 1962-63 c o m m i t t e e ap-
p o i n t m e n t s . (See new c o m m i t t e e a p p o i n t -
ments listed elsewhere in this issue). 

M r . H a r w e l l , a c t i n g f o r G r a n t s C o m m i t t e e 
C h a i r m a n R i c h a r d W . M o r i n , r e p o r t e d that 
the G r a n t s C o m m i t t e e has over $ 4 4 , 0 0 0 to 
distribute in 1962. Because o f his past ex-
perience, M r . G o r m l e y was requested to act 
as solicatations agent f o r the c o m m i t t e e dur-
i n g the n e x t year. M r . G o r m l e y agreed to 
this a p p o i n t m e n t . H e expressed h o p e t h a t 
the federal legislation program to aid college 
a n d university libraries soon passes b o t h 
houses o f t h e Congress and is signed i n t o 
law. 

M r . G o r m l e y r e p o r t e d to the b o a r d the 
action o f the g o v e r n m e n t o f the U n i o n o f 
B u r m a in t e r m i n a t i n g all F o r d F o u n d a t i o n 
p r o j e c t s in that c o u n t r y in M a r c h o f this 
year. H e r e p o r t e d that the A L A p r o j e c t at 
the University of M a n d a l a y was c o m p l e t e d 

by the t e r m i n a t i o n date. T h e p r o j e c t at the 
University o f R a n g o o n , u n d e r the direction 
of D r . J o s e p h R e a s o n , still h a d o n e year to 
go b e f o r e c o m p l e t i o n . M r . G o r m l e y stated 
that the saddest effect of the c a n c e l l a t i o n of 
these two p r o j e c t s is that three of the 
seven B u r m e s e trainees now in this c o u n t r y 
must r e t u r n h o m e w i t h o u t their degrees. 
F o u r of the trainees will be a b l e to earn 
their Masters degrees b e f o r e they must re-
turn h o m e . 

M r . G o r m l e y was asked f o r a r e p o r t on the 
c u r r e n t status o f the C u r r e n t College-Level 
B o o k Selection Service p r o j e c t . H e r e p o r t e d 
that, because o f a n u m b e r o f c o m p l i c a t i o n s 
r e g a r d i n g a p p o i n t m e n t s , h e must p o s t p o n e 
any r e p o r t . 

I r e n e Z i m m e r m a n , c h a i r m a n o f the Sub-
j e c t Specialists S e c t i o n d u r i n g 1961-62, gave 
an extensive r e p o r t on the activities of h e r 
section at the request of D r . Stokes. Miss 
Z i m m e r m a n stated that the part o f the SSS 
in A C R L was at a critical p o i n t . She com-
m e n t e d on t h e difficulty u n d e r which the 
various subsection c h a i r m e n o p e r a t e in ob-
t a i n i n g names of m e m b e r s of the subsections, 
as well as o t h e r p e r t i n e n t d a t a a b o u t the 
m e m b e r s h i p . She cited t h e difficulties en-
c o u n t e r e d in reviewing all the records of the 
section since its f o r m a t i o n at M o n t r e a l . I t 
is h e r o p i n i o n that there does exist a def-
i n i t e n e e d in A L A f o r some g r o u p such as 
the SSS represents. She cited the f a c t that a 
sizable p o r t i o n o f the 1,200 m e m b e r s of SSS 
were in A L A because o f the p o t e n t i a l use of 
SSS activities to them in their positions. She 
stated that it is h e r o p i n i o n that a f e e l i n g 
of cohesion a n d of purpose is b e i n g achieved 
within the section; t h a t the securing o f mem-
bership i n f o r m a t i o n which is to result in the 
p u b l i c a t i o n o f a s u b j e c t specialist directory 
will b e i n v a l u a b l e ; a n d that the improve-
m e n t o f section programs will all go f a r to 
strengthen the section. 

E x t e n s i v e discussion was given to the pro-
posed " c o n f e r e n c e - w i t h i n - a - c o n f e r e n c e " on 
the student use of libraries idea f o r the 1963 
C h i c a g o m e e t i n g . D r . Stokes h a d requested 
this discussion to e n a b l e h e r to advise A L A 
P r e s i d e n t J a m e s B r y a n ' s c o n f e r e n c e com-
m i t t e e . I t was the consensus o f the A C R L 
b o a r d that this type o f g e n e r a l program 
would i n t e r f e r e with the activities o f the 
various A C R L sections a n d therefore A C R L 
could n o t approve the idea as presented.

R o b e r t A. M i l l e r , director, I n d i a n a U n i -
versity libraries, was the speaker at A C R L ' s 
m e m b e r s h i p meeting. I n a scholarly, and 
c o m p l e t e l y engaging presentation " T w e n t y -
five Years of University L i b r a r i a n s h i p " , 
D r . M i l l e r summed up the progress made in 
university l i b r a r i a n s h i p during the past 
twenty-five years a n d clearly defined m a n y 
of the p r o b l e m s yet to be solved. H e em-
phasized that university library book collec-
tions could have b e e n increased a n d b e t t e r 
b a l a n c e d over the years if academic l i b r a r i a n s 
h a d taken more i n i t i a t i v e as b o o k m e n in the 
selection processes r a t h e r than d e p e n d i n g 
heavily on university faculties to b u i l d col-
lections. H e cited the i m p r o v e m e n t in 
m a c h i n e a p p l i c a t i o n to library procedures, 
i m p r o v e d i n d e x i n g a n d improved library 
a r c h i t e c t u r e as positive c o n t r i b u t i o n s . H e 
suggested t h a t university l i b r a r i a n s take a 
" n e w l o o k " at the efficiency of o p e n stacks 
in p r o d u c i n g the b o o k that a p a t r o n wants 
when he wants it. H e cited the need f o r re-
finement in s u b j e c t cataloging, the n e e d f o r 
m o r e s u b j e c t specialist librarians, a n d the 
desirability of m o r e a n d b e t t e r r e f e r e n c e 
service at the p o i n t of c o n t a c t within the li-
brary where students m a k e their i n i t i a l con-
tact. 

R e c o g n i t i o n was given to the significance 
of increased r e g i o n a l catalogs and coopera-
tive acquisitions programs. T h e n e e d for 
f u r t h e r d e v e l o p m e n t in these areas was 
stressed. 

I n D r . M i l l e r ' s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s on pro-
fessional organizations, he stated that there 
has n o t been a period in his career when 

there has n o t been some dissatisfaction a b o u t 
the program of A C R L within A L A . R e a s o n s 
for this dissatisfaction were discussed. D r . Mil-
ler suggests that the m e m b e r s h i p should in-
sist u p o n a strong and definite program and 
that consistent direction of the association's 
affairs can be furnished by the secretariat. 

A strong plea was made to all l i b r a r i a n s 
f o r a r e t u r n to the true n a t u r e of o u r pro-
fession by the increased reading of books.

Reason T o Succeed Gormley 
Dr. Joseph H. Reason, director of libraries at Howard University, 

will succeed Mark M. Gormley as executive secretary of A C R L dur-
ing the 1962-63 year. Dr. Reason, who has been on leave from How-
ard since May 1961, has been serving as adviser to the Ford Founda-
tion-sponsored, ALA-administered (through a committee of A C R L ) 
Social Science Library project at the University of Rangoon, Burma. 
T h e project, scheduled for termination in May 1963, was prema-
turely ended when the government of the Union of Burma termi-
nated aid orojects sponsored by foreign private organizations in 
April of this year. Dr. Reason's availability neatly coincided with 
the resignation of Mark M. Gormley, who goes to the University of 
Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Report of the Special Committee on 
ACRL Program 

At the M i d w i n t e r 1962 m e e t i n g o f the A C R L B o a r d of Directors, president 
R a l p h E. Ellsworth a p p o i n t e d a Special Com-
m i t t e e on the A C R L P r o g r a m . T h e commit-
tee was instructed to e x a m i n e existing A C R L 
activities with a view to evolving a program 
of a c t i o n which will carry o u t m o r e fully 
the o b j e c t i v e s o f A C R L , namely, t h e promo-
tion of library services a n d l i b r a r i a n s h i p in 
the libraries o f h i g h e r e d u c a t i o n a l institu-
tions, i n d e p e n d e n t research libraries, and 
specialized libraries. 

I n 1957, as a direct result of the reorgani-
zation of A L A , a Special C o m m i t t e e on the 
Activities D e v e l o p m e n t of A C R L , u n d e r the 
c h a i r m a n s h i p of W i l l i a m H . Carlson, was 
a p p o i n t e d to ascertain the place of A C R L 
in the reorganized A L A . T h e c o m m i t t e e ' s 
r e p o r t (the S C A D R e p o r t ) was published in 
the M a y 1958 issue o f CRL (Vol. X I X , 2 4 7 -
54). 

As a first step in their investigations, the 
Carlson c o m m i t t e e sent the following ques-
tion to 100 members of A C R L : " W h a t are 
the p r o b l e m s o f college, university, a n d re-
search libraries to which the reorganized 
A C R L should be addressing its energies?". 
Based on the replies received a n d on their 
own deliberations, the Carlson c o m m i t t e e 
then drew u p a list of m a j o r p r o b l e m s which 
they felt should be attacked by A C R L . W e 
have f o u n d n o t h i n g to i n d i c a t e t h a t f o r m a l 
action was taken to i m p l e m e n t the recom-
m e n d a t i o n s of the S C A D R e p o r t . However, 
when reviewed in the light o f present day 
conditions, it is evident that several o f the 
p r o b l e m s cited by Carlson have been, o r are 
being, tackled by A C R L committees. I t is 
also e v i d e n t that an e q u a l n u m b e r of the 
n o t e d problems have received l i t t l e o r n o 
a t t e n t i o n from A C R L . 

T h e similarity o f purpose o f the two com-
mittees is obvious. Also, m u c h o f the spade 
work p l a n n e d by the present c o m m i t t e e has 
already b e e n d o n e by the Carlson c o m m i t t e e . 
Accordingly, t h e C o m m i t t e e on the A C R L 
P r o g r a m has used Carlson findings a n d 
r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s as its j u m p i n g off p o i n t . 
T h e e a r l i e r r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s have been ex-

a m i n e d in detail, a n d those which have b e e n 
ignored thus far by A C R L a n d which we 
feel still m e r i t a t t e n t i o n have been e m b o d i e d 
i n o u r own r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s . W e make n o 
claims of completeness, a n d suggest only 
that i m p l e m e n t a t i o n of the r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s 
listed below will fill serious gaps in A C R L ' s 
existing program.

ACRL President's Report 
T o the ALA Council, June 18, 1962 

Up T O T H I S point in its institutional his-tory, A C R L has confined and re-
stricted its concept of its program to the 
activities it felt were necessary, possible 
and appropriate—primarily the publica-
tion of a journal, CRL, on the assump-
tion that an academic profession grows 
upon a foundation of facts and research. 

But since we have discovered that 
Gresham's law applies to institutions as 
well as to money, and since our single-
mindedness has been interpreted by the 
rest of the ALA family as a sign of sloth, 
of lack of imagination, of conservatism, 
and since our policy has failed to win for 
our division a fair share of the ALA dol-
lar, our officers and board of directors 
have decided to conform to the new 
ALA. 

We too shall now become concerned 
about our image. W e too shall learn the 
ways of Madison Avenue. W e shall learn 
and use all the tricks of contemporary 
packaging and hucksterism and other 
forms of word-facting and plain every-
day deception. 

In our committee meetings, we too shall 
develop surveys and studies and projects 
and feasibility forays, and we shall in-

ject ourselves with small doses of the live 
virus of galloping Parkinsonism. And we 
shall learn to send our scouts to call on 
the Eastern Archbishop of the ALA for 
large sums of money. 

And we shall learn to measure our 
worth by the amount of space and the 
number of people required to manage 
our boondoggles. 

W e do these things reluctantly. But 
we have no choice. Either we change 
and live at peace within the ALA family, 
or we, like the medical, law, and special 
librarians, retain our integrity—outside 
the American Library Association. 

Our love and respect for much that 
ALA is and does keeps us from secession. 

I have learned that institutions like 
individuals, go off on tangents, and I 
honestly think that A C R L , in its new 
role, will reveal the inappropriateness of 
the new ALA image and will thus help 
restore the entire association to a posi-
tion of dignity appropriate to a group of 
men and women who believe, as Carlyle 
once said, "All that mankind has done, 
thought, gained or been: it is lying as in 
magic preservation in the pages of 
b o o k s . " — R a l p h E. Ellsworth.
