Awards were bestowed in two categories-college libraries and public libraries-by a jury of architects and librarians composed of J. Roy Carroll, FAIA of Philadelphia, chairman; Hugh Stubbins, Jr., FAIA, of Cambridge, Mass.; Robert S. Hutchins, FAIA, of New York City; Lucile Morsch, chief of descriptive cataloging, Library of Congress, Wash- ington, D.C.; Charles Mohrhardt, associate director, Detroit Public Library; M. Bernice Weise, director of library service, Baltimore Public Schools; and Keyes Metcalf, director emeritus, Harvard University Li- brary. Jurors Metcalf and Mohrhardt disqualified themselves in judg- ment of libraries on which they acted as consultant. The jury awarded two first honor awards and five awards of merit in the college category. Presentation of the award citations to libraries were made at special ceremonies in Chicago in the Prudential Building on Monday, April 15, as a kickoff for National Library Week, April 21-27. Architects of each of the winning buildings received their awards at the 1963 AlA con- vention in May. The first exhibition of the award winning libraries was on April 15-24 at the Prudential Building in Chicago. Exhibitions also are scheduled for both the AlA and ALA conventions. College library first honor awards went to the library for Bennington (Vermont) College, and the undergraduate library at University of South Carolina, Columbia. College library awards of merit: Lourdes library, Gwynedd Mercy Junior College, Gwynedd Valley, Pa.; Grinnell (Iowa) College Burling library; Schultz Memorial library, Springfield, Ill.; Foothill College library, Los Altos Hills, Calif.; and Douglass College library, Rutgers, The State University, New Brunswick, N.J. • • COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES JoHN P. McDoNALD will become director of libraries at the Un~versity of Connecticut on July 1. He has been associate director of Mr. McDonald libraries at Washing- ton University in St. Louis since 1960. A native of Phila- delphia, Mr. McDon- ald graduated from the University of Virginia in 1946. He attended the Drexel library school .where he received his mas- ters degree in 1951. During the spring of 1958 he was a mem- ber of the Carnegie Seminar in Advanced Library Administration at Rutgers Univer- sity. Following a year of teaching English at Drexel in 1946-47 and two years in the in- surance business he entered the library field in 1950 as a circulation assistant at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania library. In 1952 he was made head of the reserve book depart- ment. Two years later he became chief of the reference department at Washington University. Here his talent for administrative work quickly emerged, and he was promoted to assistant to the director, assistant director of readers' services and finally to associate director of libraries. Mr. McDonald's primary responsibilities at Washington University have involved supervision of public services in both the central library and branches and the plan- ning and equipping of new library facili- ties. Although he has been notably successful in both areas, he deserves special recognition for his contribution to the new four-million- dollar John M. Olin library which was opened for use in September 1962. Since coming to Missouri he has been ac- tive in professional organizations on both state and national levels. He has been chair- man of the college and university division of the Missouri Library Association and he is now serving as a member of the ALA Council. MAY 1963 Personnel In John McDonald the University of Connecticut has chosen an administrator well qualified to oversee a rapidly expanding library system, and a man whose fine per- sonal qualities would make him an asset to any academic community.-Andrew ]. Eat- on. Library Education will have a specialist in the U.S. Office of Education for the first time beginning in April. Equally· significant is Miss Reed the announcement that SARAH REBECCA REED, executive sec- retary of the ALA Committee on Ac- creditation and the Library Education Division, will fill that position. I write about Sar- ah Rebecca Reed as my colleague · for five years in the Florida State University li- brary school. Here she was a great teach- er, with those intangibles that are never measured quantitatively, too seldom recog- nized in awards. Inherently, Sarah Reed has that fine self-subordination to her students that is the essence of good teaching. Every- where in the library profession there are those who had her as a teacher and enthuse about her. When she stood up at the Florida State University Library School alumni din- ner in Miami Beach last summer the ovation could be described as nothing less than a demonstration. At Florida State she taught reference and documentation in a way that made students forget about time and place. There is a personal relationship between Sarah Reed and her students that will al - ways be cherished by all of us who were as- sociated with her here. In and out of class the 'students burned with desire to search the literature. Born in Warren, Illinois, Sarah Reed re- ceived her , Bachelor of Arts degree from Cornell College in Iowa, her B.L.S. from the University of Illinois. Subsequently, she took 243 a master's degree at the University of Illinois, and went on to do graduate work at the Uni- versity of Chicago. With Louis Round Wilson and Mildred Lowell she authored the book, Library in College Instruction in 1951. While in Chicago she edited Research in Progress in Librarianship from 1948 to 1952, and contributed significantly to professional periodicals. Her study of reference practice, especially for the Armed Forces libraries, is a milestone in the literature of reference. Although Sarah Reed's major interest has been in the scholarly field serving university librarianship and library education, she be- gan as a school teacher and librarian in Sioux Rapids, Iowa, and as a teacher-librar- ian in the Sandwich, Illinois, High School. She was loan desk assistant and book stacks librarian at Illinois from 1943 to 1945. While in Chicago she served as college li- brarian and supervisor of induction training. She was a visiting faculty member at the University of Denver library school during the summer sessions in 1951 to 1953 and assumed the position of assistant professor at the University of North Carolina library school in 1952. She served as a member of the faculty of the Florida State University library school from 1955 to 1961, when she left to fill her present position at ALA headquarters. While at Florida State, Miss Reed initiated the series of Junior College Book Lists, published by the Florida State Department of Education in cooperation with the library school. The recent activation of a Commission for a National Plan for Library Education, to which Sarah Reed contributed so signifi- cantly during the past Midwinter, is a happy coincidence. That and the appointment of Sarah Reed to the position of library spe- cialist in the U.S. Office of Education insure a professional direction to library education such as we have never had before.-Louis Shores. RoLLAND E. STEVENS, in September 1963, adds lustre to an already illustrious faculty by accepting appointment as professor of the graduate school of library science at the University of Illinois. In a sense he will be going home again, in that much of his train- ing and early professional experience were centered at Urbana. Dr. Stevens took his A.B., with a strong emphasis in Greek and Latin, from Wash- ington University in 1939; his B.S. in L.S., M.A. in L.S., and Ph.D. from Illinois, in 1940, 1943 and 1952 respectively, enjoying the distinction of receiving the first doctor- Mr. Stevens ate in librarianship offered by this in- stitution. He was binding assistant, then bibliographer, at Illinois before he served his stint in the U.S. Army from 1942 until 1946. The University of Roches- ter claimed him as head of reference and assistant to the li- brarian, 1946-1948, after which he re- turned to Illinois for his doctoral work. Ohio State University en joyed the pleasure of his company from 1950 until 1963 where he contributed sub- stantially as acquisition librarian and assist- ant professor, assistant director, technical services and associate professor, and finally as associate director, technical services and professor. In each capacity he demonstrated a keen understanding of the needs of grad- uate students and faculty. Under his guid- ance the areas of acquisition, binding, cata- loging and photoduplication made notable progress. Steve's interest in writing and editing has found expression in his compilation for the past several years of the year's work in copy- ing methods appearing in Library Resources and Technical Services, his previous editor- ship of the ACRL Monographs and his book reviewing in several journals in classics and librarianship. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Beta Phi Mu and Eta Sigma Phi. He has been active in ALA, R TSD, ACRL, Technical Service Directors of Large Re- 244 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES search Libraries, AAUP, and American Doc- umentation Institute, of which he was chair- man of the Central Ohio Chapter in 1962-63. Professor Stevens is insatiably curious and this leads to extensive reading over a wide area. Among his strong interests are the classics, history of science, library technical services, information systems, microduplica- tion, and automation in libraries. For some years he has become increasingly interested in teaching. His strong background of ex- perience, intellectual curiosity, verbal facil- ity, geniality, and genuine humility augur his success in teaching as he has been suc- cessful in library administration. Illinois is indeed fortunate in being able to recall a distinguished and able alumnus.-Lewis C. Branscomb. WILLIAM BERNARD READY, who has been librarian of Marquette U n~versity since 1956, is moving to Bridgeport, Connecticut, where he will undertake the task of creating and directing the library of a new institution, Sacred Heart Uni- versity, which is administered and taught by laymen under the diocese of Bridgeport. He is beginning his work on the assignment by spending a few weeks in Europe buy- Mr. Ready ing books. An adequate ac- count of the Ready career would require at least a robust volume, but even the barest bones of a skeleton suggest something of the variety of his interests and achievements. Irish by qncestry, he was born in Cardiff, Wales, and served in the British army from 1939 to 1945 in the Near East, North Africa, and Italy. While in Italy he met and married Lieutenant Bessie Dyer, Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps, and he came to Can- ada after the war as the spouse of a Cana- dian veteran. The children's names are Pat- MAY 1963 rick, Vincent, Liam, Thomas, Mary, and Nora. He was educated at the universities of Wales, Oxford, Manitoba, and Rutgers, where he attended the Advanced Seminar for Library Administrators that Mr. Metcalf conducted in 1956. He has taught at the Col- lege of St. John in Winnipeg, the College of St. Thomas in St. Paul, the School of Li- brarianship at the University of California in Berkeley, Stanford University, and Illi- nois. He was an apprentice and subsequently an assistant in the public library of Cardiff, and he directed the library of the British Army University in Perugia; in 1951 he went to Stanford as chief acquisitions librarian and was later appointed assistant director for acquisitions. The Great Disciple, a collection of his short stories, some of which were reprinted from the Atlantic Monthly and the Saturday Evening Post, appeared in 1951. The Poor Hater, a novel inspired in part by the life of the Canadian statesman, Thomas D'Arcy Mc- Gee, was published in 1958. The Ready bib- liography also includes numerous articles on librarianship and on books, among them an address at one of the General Sessions of the 1953 ALA conference. Literary and li- brary honors include the Thomas More As- sociation prize for literary criticism and, in 1961, the Clarence Day Award of the ALA "in recognition of outstanding accomplish- ment in encouraging the love of books and reading." Will Ready's appointment shows that Sa- cred Heart University means to have an ex- cellent library and to have it as soon as pos- sible; few men who are highly gifted as rac- onteurs and writers and who are incurably addicted to reading can find time also to be effective librarians, but he has proven him- self as an administrator and as a skilled and vigorous builder of collections. Even so, Will's friends regard his major achievement as neither literary nor professional-unlike some talented authors and some prominent librarians, he has found time to grow up; he is a good man.-Edwin E. Williams. 245 APPOINTMENTS JoN R . AsHTON has been appointed dean of the University of Rhode Island ,graduate library school. ANDREW L.
