College and Research Libraries Grants Awarded by ACRL • SIXTY-FOUR college and university libraries in twenty-seven states were awarded funds or equipment by the Grants Committee of ACRL at its ninth annual meeting at the University of Pittsburgh, December 1-3, 1963. In addition, three grants were made to individual librarians for research. The committee considered 280 requests for grants from institutions in forty-three states and sixteen requests from individual librar- ians. Total requests amounted to more than $275,000. The grants to libraries and individuals total approximately $40,000, ranging from $220 to $1,200 each. Of the total, $7,500 was made in twelve grants for equipment. The remaining amount was awarded to fifty institutions for the purchase of books, periodicals, music scores, and microfilm. Fifteen of the institutions receiving grants are to be congratulated for their plans to match the funds provided through the Grants Committee. One college will receive a gift of five times the amount provided by the ACRL grant. Thirty of the grants were made for the purchase of books and other material to support the fields of literature, art, educa- tion, social studies, biology, chemistry and physics, and a variety of area studies. The latter cover a number of geographic areas: Africa, Asia, Latin America, Near East, and Russia; and subject areas such as race rela- tions, business, religion and culture. Seven grants were made to help purchase period- ical materials; five for microfjlm, and five for reference materials. Six grants will help institutions to acquire various parts of the Library of Congress Catalog and the N a- tiona] Union Catalog. One institution plans to publish a brochure describing its special collections in order to make them more widely known and promote greater use. Other libraries will purchase materials to support a symposium, a freshman indepen- dent studies program, and two honors pro- grams. The equipment grants made through the Committee cooperation of the Remington Rand divi- sion of Sperry Rand Corporation, provided for card catalogs, magazine racks, exhibit cases, phonograph record shelving, study tables, and desks. The 1963/64 Grants Program was made possible through the generosity of the Mc- Graw-Hill Publishing Company; Micro Photo Division of Bell & Howell Company; The National Biscuit Company Foundation; Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation; Pit- ney-Bowes, Inc.; Remington Rand Division of the Sperry Rand Corporation; Time, Inc.; United States Steel Foundation, Inc.; and The H. W. Wilson Foundation, Inc. The program was initiated in 1955 with a grant of $30,000 from the United States Steel Foundation, which continues to play a vital role. The committee has been con- cerned, since the beginning of the program, with meeting the needs of libraries in pri- vately endowed institutions with four-year programs of undergraduate instruction. Com- ments of librarians of these colleges ahd universities indicate that the program has been successful in developing library collec- tions, improving the quality of service, and strengthening · the total library programs. However, the committee is also very much aware of the importance of enlarging the size of the Grants Program, when it com- pares the number of requests with the funds available to meet these requests.

Toth. Titles are available directly from the Press. Recently published titles include: JoNEs, HARoLD D. The de- No. 139 velopment of reference services in col- leges for teacher education, 1929-1958, 831. $1.50. This study examines and records the de- velopment of reference services in colleges for teacher education during the three de- cades 1929-1958. For the earlier years it includes some consideration of the refer- ence function in the libraries of normal schools. It is mainly concerned with refer- ence services in teachers colleges, in the many state colleges which are chiefly insti- tutions for teacher education, and in the small but increasing number of state uni- versities which originated as normal schools, became teachers colleges, and are still much concerned with teacher education. Excluded from the survey are the librar- ies serving students and faculty members in university departments and schools of edu- cation. The present study appears to be the first to present an extended review of the sub- ject. It attempts to summarize the available data on supervision, on information, guid- ance, and instructional services, on bibliog- raphy and appraisal. Reference is made to articles published in professional journals, and to a number of theses and dissertations. Reports resulting from accreditation pro- grams and from surveys made by individ- uals or organizations have been drawn upon. HARRISON, ELIZABETH CoTH- No. 140 RAN. Current reference practices in four university libraries in North Carolina. (Thesis: M.S. in L.S., University of North Carolina, 1960) [vii1, 1211. $1.50. Current patterns in the organization, staff- ing, and services provided by ten reference units in the libraries of the University of North Carolina, Duke University, North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering, and Woman's College of the University of North Carolina were deter- mined through interviews with the chiefs of each of these units and with other library staff members. Analysis and tabulation of this data, study of organization charts of the four libraries, and histories of reference service in the United States and of the four libraries show that the majority of units sur- veyed are general and centralized, though there is some subject specialization. The form of organization, staff qualifications, and services rendered reflect the size and academic needs of the colleges and univer- sities they serve. •• 54 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES 1 News from the Field ACQUISITIONS AMERICAN INDIAN LANGUAGE items and others numbering some eleven hundred have been acquired by San Diego State College library, which has obtained the library of the late John Peabody Harrington, linguis- tics scholar and authority on American In- dian languages.

LEWIS became director of li- braries at Mississippi State University on the opening of the 1963-64 school year. He had Mr. Lewis been director of li- brary services at Kentucky Baptist College, a fairly new institution located just outside Louis- ville. A native of Mis- sissippi, Mr. Lewis lived in his home state until he left to do advanced study. He graduated from Mississippi College in 1952 and completed the master's degree in librarianship at Louisiana State University in 1956. With a varied experience in li- brary work, and especially with a wide knowledge of Mississippi and its many ed- ucational problems, Lewis is admirably fit- ted for the position which he now fills. Mr. Lewis's first experience in library work was as a student assistant in the Mis- sissippi College library, 1950-52. For two years, 1952-54, he was a teacher of English ·in the Forest (Mississippi) public schools. Deciding on a career in librarianship, he ac- cepted a part-time position in the serials de- partment at L.S.U. while pursuing profes- sional study, 1954-56. Lewis's first position after completing his professional degree was as assistant public services librarian in the Baylor University library, Waco, Texas. After one year and three months in this work, he transferred to the position of as- sistant cataloger. It was from this position that he was called in early 1958 to become head of the circulation department of the _ Auburn University library, in Auburn, Ala- bama. When Lewis moved to Auburn Univer- sity, he found the library in a stage of growth and development. He contributed significantly to the planning of a new library building. As a member of the director's council at the library, Lewis met regularly Personnel with that body, with the campus planning committee, and with the architect in for- mulating plans for the new library, which was dedicated on November 5, 1963. In ad- dition to his work as head of the circula- tion department, Mr. Lewis supervised six branch libraries, the periodical reading room, and the audio-visual services of the library. He also assisted the director in the employ- ment of clerical workers and part-time stu- dent assistants. His value was recognized by the administration when formal academic status was given to librarians: he was ac- corded the rank of assistant professor in 1959, and associate professor in 1960. In June 1962, Lewis became the first di- rector of library services at Kentucky Bap- tist College, near Louisville. In this capacity he made significant progress. He planned a new library building, employed a library staff, and began the acquisition and process- ing of library materials for this new col- lege. The groundwork on which he laid the library program can be carried on success- fully by another. He was reluctant to leave, but the call to be director at Mississippi State University and the challenge of the new position, plus his desire to work again for his native state, compelled him to resign and accept his present position. M.S.U. is growing and expanding its services and facil- ities, and Lewis is planning the library pro- gram to support the university more ade- quately. Endowed with honor and integrity, good common sense, and a sound knowledge of library practices, Mr. Lewis should be em- inently successful at the Mississippi State University library. Friendly and personable at all times, he is well liked by his confreres and patrons.-Clyde Hull Cantrell. HowARD F. McGAw became director of the library of Western Washington State College at Bellingham on September 1, hav- ing resigned from his most recent position, that of acting librarian at Texas Southern University in Houston. Previous to that, he had been, from 1950 to 1961, director of 58 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES libraries and professor of library science at the M. D. Anderson Memorial library of the University of Houston. Born in Nashville, Mr. McGaw received his AB from Van- derbilt in 1933, his MA from Peabody in 1939, and his BS in LS from Peabody in 1941. From 1940 to 1942 he was head librarian at Memphis State College, and Mr. McGaw from 1942 to 1943 at the Herzl Municipal Junior College in Chicago. From 1946 to 1949 he was director of the library at Ohio Wesleyan University. In 1950, he conducted a survey of teacher education resources in New York City mu- nicipal college libraries, and received the doctorate from Teachers College, Columbia University. His dissertation, published in 1952 as Marginal Punched Cards in College and Research Libraries, is still useful as a guide to the application of hand-sorted cards to li- brary operations. Through the years he has taught summer courses in library science in various schools -Peabody, the universities of Kentucky and North Carolina, the New York State College for Teachers at Albany, Denver Univer- sity-in addition to courses at the University of Houston. He has written a variety of ar- ticles on such topics as circulation systems, educational TV, staff relations, and weeding the library. A faithful worker for library associations, he has served in numerous offices in the Texas Library Association, the Southwestern Library Association, ALA (ACRL, LAD), and Beta Phi Mu. As a member of the American Society of Friends he has taken an active part in com- munity affairs. Personally gentle and ami- able in disposition, fond of sports, books, and music, he has been a fighter for the causes in which he believes. Humanist, in- ternationalist, pacifist, ardent supporter of civil rights, member of the Houston Coun- cil on Human Relations, of the American JANUARY 1964 Humanist Association, of the Houston chap- ters of the AA UP and the American Civil Liberties Union, he has served on the United Nations Council of Houston, and played a leading part in the Houston Institute of In- ternational Relations.-Elizabeth Rodell. The University of Alaska announced with justifiable pride the appointment of H. THEo- DORE RYBERG as director of libraries, Octo- ber 1. This major institution of higher ed- ucation in Alaska is a system of institutions. Mr. Ryberg assumed responsibility for the university library, the libraries supporting the research programs of the Geophysical Institute, Institute of Marine Science, the Agricultural Experiment Station, and the Arctic Research Laboratory, as well as the libraries providing instructional materials ·at five community colleges. This impressive responsibility was fortunately given to a li- brarian whose professional competence and capacity for leadership are equally impres- sive. Mr. Ryberg has made better use of his thirty-six years than many others do in four score and ten. During three years he spent in the United States Maritime Service he circled the world twice and the experience prompted him to spend another year in Europe studying before he entered Gettys- burg College. His tour of duty as an ensign in the Navy was followed by six months of study and travel in the Middle East. Be- tween his graduation from Gettysburg Col- lege in 1955 and his admission to the school of library science at Western Reserve, he spent a year teaching and studying in northern Europe and Scandinavia. The combination of his formal education and ex- tensive travel has been invaluable to him and to the institutions which have given him professional experience. Mr. Ryberg began his library career in 1957 as cataloger at the Rochester (New York) Institute of Technology library where, with characteristic vigor and good judgment, he reorganized the cataloging function and recataloged a collection of thirty-two thou- sand volumes. From May 1959 to Septem- ber 1960 he was assistant director of li- braries at the University of Buffalo, and dur- ing the past three years Mr. Ryberg was assistant director of libraries at Syracuse 59 University. The legacies he has left at Syracuse University are many, but the uni- versity community is especially grateful to him for the imaginative thinking and sound judgment with which he improved pro- cedures, selected staff replacements, and ex- panded the service program. While Mr. Ryberg has devoted great energy to his professional work, he has been active in both state and national li- brary association activities. Librarianship in Alaska has a potential new force in Mr. Ry- berg, and he can be expected to add a new dimension to its advancement.-W ayne S. Yenawine. APPOINTMENTS ALBERT G.
