No. 144 Library budgets of predominantly Negro colleges and universities. iii, 43l. 28cm. (Thesis: M.S. in L.S., Atlanta University, 1963.) Bibliography: Z.42-43. $1. A report of the status of the budgets of :fifty-eight predominantly Negro institutions. The study includes student enrollment, li- brary collections, personnel, number of hours of student assistance, operation ex- penditures in dollars , and expenditure ra- tios. These budgets were compared with over 850 selected schools included in col- lege library statistics for 1958/ 59 and with the budget standards as stipulated by ALA for college and university libraries. Data for the study were compiled from Library Statistics of Colleges and Universities, 1960- 61. RILEY, LoUisE ELisE. No. 145 A study of the performance on a library orientation test in relation to the aca- demic achievement and scholastic apti- tude of a selected group of freshman college students at Tuskegee Institute. iii, 35l. 28cm. (Thesis: M.S. in L.S., At- lanta University, 1962.) Bibliography: l.34-35. $1. This study proposed to :find the relation- ship between library knowledge, academic achievement, and scholastic aptitude of a selected group of freshman college stu- dents enrolled at Tuskegee Institute in 1960-1961. Through the use of a questionnaire it was found that the students were poorly equipped to use library resources effectively and that the library instructional program aided very signilicantly in alleviating this de:ficiency. However, the data did not sup- port the assumption that the presence or absence of library skills affects academic performance. The students' aptitudes did not influence their abilities to use the li- brary in the absence of instruction in library usage. (Continued on page 175.) I 159 Nominees for ACRL PRESIDENT Helen M.

Bailey, Executive Secretary; RoseMary Chamberlin, Secretary. Guest, Ralph E. Mc- Coy. Archie L. MeN eal presided. The minutes of the Board of Directors meeting as reported in CRL, July 1964, were approved. Helen Brown, chairman, Planning and Action Committee reported the action of that committee regarding current federal legislative programs. The Board voted unan- imously in favor of the following action on H.R. 3220 and S. 600, "A bill-to strengthen the educational resources of our colleges and universities and to provide fi- nancial assistance for students in post-sec- ondary and highe~ education": ( 1) The ALA Washington office should press for wording in Title I to cover the needs of libraries in university ex- tension and continuing education. 162 I ( 2) Endorsed in principle the inclusion of a "matching" requirement of local (whether public or private) funds for all dollar allocations for the acqUisi- tion of library materials under H.R. 3220. In taking this action, the Board urged those who will draft suggested re- visions in the bill to explore a match- ing formula that will take into account the differences among institutions that in relation to their enrollments and po- tential economic support will affect their ability to take full advantage of this legislation. The ACRL Board also voted its approval of the proposed Medical Library Assistance bill (H .R. 3142 and S. 597), noting that many member institutions have medical libraries which would benefit under the provisions of this bill. Miss Brown noted that proposed amend- ments to the ACRL Constitution and By- laws were approved by the Planning and Action Committee and would be duplicated for presentation to the Board. The discussions of the Planning and Ac- tion Committee members regarding the Warren proposal for the National Library of Science System and Network for the Published Scientific Literature were re- ported. President McNeal noted that the Ad Hoc Committee on Research, under the chairmanship of Maurice F. Tauber had been functioning. Other members are Ruth- erford Rogers and Frederick Wagman. The Warren proposal said very little about the functions of libraries. At a meeting in Chi- cago on November 11, representatives of various organizations (ALA, ACRL, RTSD, Association of Research Libraries, Medical Library Association, and National Library of Medicine) met to discuss future action of library representatives regarding a na- tional program . Mr. McNeal attended . ~n informal meeting with William Knox, spe- cial assistant in the office of the advisor to ACRL Board of Directors I 163 the President for Science and Technology in Washington on December 13. At a second meeting in Washington on January 26, Mr. Knox asked for our position on the national program. ARL had drafted a statement of "A National Program for Library Support of Research and Scholarship." This state- ment was duplicated for consideration of the Board at its second meeting. (NoTE: Reports of ACRL sections, com- mittees, and editors had been distributed to members of the Board prior to the meet- ings. Supplementary information reported at the meeting is noted below.) H. Vail Deale, chairman, College Li- braries Section, noted the resignation of Helen Sears as chairman-elect of the sec- tion, due to serious illness. Anne Edmonds was appointed by Mr. Deale to serve out the term as chairman-elect until the next election. The section will hold its 1966 program meeting at Queens College. The Junior College Libraries Section is continuing its cooperative efforts with the American Association of Junior Colleges and plans to send representatives to the annual convention of AAJC in Dallas, according to Elizabeth Martin, chairman. The Teacher Education Libraries Section had voted 219 to 37 to discontinue the sec- tion. The action was approved by the Board. Mr. Oboler emphasized that the members of the section would still be rep- resented in ACRL since teachers are now being educated in all types of institutions of higher education. The discontinuance of the Teacher Education Libraries Section is merely a change in perspective . The Bylaws of the Slavic and East Euro- pean Subsection were approved for publi- cation in CRL. Mr. West reported that the Advisory Committee for Cooperation with Educa- tional and Professional Organizations is working with the American Association of University Professor. to select books for exhibit at the next conference of that as- sociation. The committee will provide rep- resentatives for the Conference of the Amer- ican Academy of Social and Political Sci- ence. A meeting with labor officials is planned for Detroit. In other activities, the Grants Committee hopes to make an analysis of its past pro- gram and prepare a brochure for use in making future contacts. There was some question about the effect of the new federal legislation on the grants program, but it was generally agreed that the program would still be essential since the federal legislation would only begin to meet the current needs of college libraries. Mr. Tanis reported that the Committee on Liaison with Accrediting Agencies, at the request of the new Federation of Ac- crediting Agencies, is developing guidelines for use of accrediting agencies. Mrs. Knapp, chairman, Committee on Library Services, reported that a communication had been received from a chapter of the American Association of University Professors, noting its concern about the rights of students. Plans are being developed for the Confer- ence on Library Surveys to be held at Co- lumbia University, June 14-17 cosponsored by the Committee on Library Surveys and Columbia University. The Membership Committee has sur- veyed institutional membership in ALA in 22 states. The survey, according to Miss Kennedy, chairman, showed that only 52 per cent of the head librarians of the in- stitutions surveyed bald personal member- ships in ALA. Of the other 48 per cent, only one-half held institutional member- ships. ACRL membership, as of December 31, was 9,008. An article on National Library Week, written by Mr. McNeal, will appear in the March issue of CRL, according to Mr. John- son, chairman. Mr. Moore stated that the new CRL £rst appearing in the January 1965 issue, was designed by Ward Ritchie and had received enthusiastic approval. The membership of the Publications Committee will be reduced to six to conform with the action taken by the ACRL Board in 1959. In accordance with other Board action in 1959, the terms of the editors of CRL, Microcards, and Monographs will expire in 1966. The Pub- lications Committee will make recommen- dations regarding these positions at De- troit for consideration of the ACRL Board. The committee recommended that the ACRL office undertake an expanded service as a clearinghouse for technical reports in cooperation with interested members. No I · 164 I College & Research Libraries • March, 1965 action was taken by the Board on this rec- ommendation. The ALA Audio-Visual Committee is considering a change of name to Media Research and Development Committee. If this is done, the ACRL Subcommittee name will also be changed. The Subcommittee plans to consider the problems of small col- leges and junior calleges. Mr. Moriarty, reporting for the committee, requested that the membership of the committee should be reconstituted to emphasize these con- cerns, that a junior college librarian should be appointed chairman, and that the com- mitted to him before these individuals left bers. The committee should be concerned with demonstration rather than research functions. Mr. Tanis, chairman of the Standards Committee, reported the plans for develop- ment of standards for libraries of extension centers. Members of the committee had met with representatives of the U.S. Office of Education on January 25 to discuss the lack of quantative statements in the ALA Stan- dards. Mr. Jackson, editor of the ACRL Mono- graphs, reported that the Rare Books Man- ual is due to be published in the spring of 1965. Mr. Bailey reminded section and com- mittee chairman and editors that reports of the Midwinter meetings should be sub- mitteed to him before these individuals left Midwinter. All budget requests for 1965/ 66 are due in the ACRL office before March 15. The lists of nominees for ACRL and sec- tion offices for the 1965 elections were dis- tributed to the Board members and appear in this issue of C RL. The meeting was adjourned at 12:00 noon. BRIEF OF MINUTES January 28, 1965-2:00 p.m. Present: President, Archie L. McNeal; Vice President and President-Elect, Helen M. Brown; Past President, Neal R. Harlow; Directors-at-Large, Andrew J. Eaton, Ruth M. Erlandson; Directors on the ALA Coun- cil, E. Walfred Erickson, Elliott Hardaway, Mrs. Frances B. Jenkins, Rev . Jovian Lang, Mrs. Margaret K. Spangler, Edward B. Stanford, Robert L. Talmadge; Chairmen of Sections, H. Vail Deale, Elizabeth E. Martin, Carson W. Bennett; Vice Chairmen of Sections, Marcus A. McCorison, James Humphry, III; Past Chairmen of Sections, Eli M. Oboler, Norman E. Tanis, Wrayton E. Gardner, Dale M. Bentz; Chairmen of Committees, William H. Carlson; Editor, Richard K. Gardner; George M. Bailey, ACRL Executive Secretary; RoseMary Chamberlin, Secretary. Guests included FrankL. Schick, Ralph E. McCoy, Richard A. Farley. Archie L. McNeal presided. Mr. Gardner, editor of CHOICE, reported a successful first year, with 2,010 subscrip- tions, but noted that 5,000 subscriptions would be needed to make the publication self-supporting. Most colleges and univer- sities are now subscribing, but many public, high school, and special libraries should be reached. The need for additional staff to handle the increased workload was em- phasized. Activities of the staff have in- cluded successful advertising promotion and work with reviewers. Approximately three hundred and fifty to four hundred reviews are handled each month. A detailed report of activities was distributed. The booklist for college libraries, being developed from the list for new University of California campuses has been resurveyed by CHOICE reviewers. ALA has agreed to publish the list. More consultants are needed for junior colleges, according to Mr. Farley, chairman of the LAD Buildings Committee for Col- lege and University Libraries. Plans for the buildings institute in Detroit are nearing completion. Under the provisions of the Higher Education Facilities Act, a large share of the funds are being made available for library buildings. The LAD Statistics Committee for Col- lege and University Libraries is continuing its role as an advisory committee for sta- tistics in libraries of higher educational in- stitutions. The "Library Statistics of Col- leges and Universities, 1963-64: Institu- tional Data," distributed to Board members and mailed to all institutions, include sta- tistics for 78 per cent of the institutions. These have been collected through state agencies. Mr. Schick reported that the Li- . .... .J ACRL Board of Directors I 165 brary Services Branch is attempting to in- clude statistics for independent libraries. The possibility of issuing the institutional data on a biennial basis was discussed. Such a program would allow for the publi- cation, during alternate years, of special surveys on such aspects as buildings, sal- aries, etc. The Board members agreed that it would be desirable to continue publica- tion of the statistics on an annual basis. The pending federal legislation would have a strong impact on the statistics. Over four hundred copies of the supplement to the 1962/ 63 statistics were sold by LAD. The Board voted to request that a supplement, which would include 1963/ 64 data for an additional 12 per cent or more of the insti- tutions, be published by LAD prior to the Detroit Conference. Mr. MeN eal was re- quested to write a letter of appreciation to the Commissioner of Education. A proposal for a National Conference on Library Statistics, which has been endorsed by LAD to be cosponsored by LAD and the Library Services Branch, was also en- dorsed by the ACRL Board providing sup- port is forthcoming from the sources listed in the proposal. It was also suggested that the conference might be held closer to the center of the United States. One purpose of the conference would be to establish a closer relationship between the ALA Stan- dards and statistics. The report of the ALA Program Evalua- tion and Budget Committee, resulting from two days of meetings prior to Midwinter, was distributed by Mr. Harlow, PEBCO representative. The report emphasized the need for an analysis of library legislation. It also stated that ALA's legislative pro- gram .. should emphasize recruitment, ade- quate utilization of personnel, training, edu- cation and re-educating librarians, research, experimentation in new techniques, and the development of new patterns of library service and updating standards to fit these patterns." Mr. Harlow urged that all aca- demic librarians should be prepared to take advantage of current legislation in order to avoid being swamped by .. instant oppor- tunity." The Program M emorandum, pre- pared by the ALA headquarters staff for use by PEBCO in its review and evalua- tion of ALA programs at the 1965 Midwin- ter Meeting, was distributed to the Board members. Miss Brown reported further action of the Planning and Action Committee. The following resolution was approved regard- ing an ARL proposal for a national pro- gram: .. The Association of College and Research Libraries, on behalf of the American Li- brary Association, joins with the Associa- tion of Research Libraries in support of the statement, 'A National Program for Library Support of · Research and Scholar- ship; since it would help to solve many of the library and informational problems with which ACRL is concerned." The following statement was also ap- proved for transmittal to the ALA Exec- utive Board, the ALA Washington office and ARL: «In future programs and legislation re- lating to , libraries, the ACRL Board of Di- rectors would call attention to the fact that well established research libraries, such as the John Crerar library, the Newberry li- brary, Linda Hall, the Pierpont Morgan library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art library, the American Museum of Natural History library, and the American Anti- quarian Society, are worthy of inclusion in a national program for library support of research. The Board, therefore, recom- mends that in the preparation and imple- mentation of such legislation, research li- braries which normally do not have formal curricula or student bodies not be ex- cluded. Research libraries of this type by virtue of their collections and services make a critical contribution to the world of schol- arship." The Planning and Action Committee also approved, for submission to the Board and the membership of ACRL, various changes in the ACRL Constitution and Bylaws. Changes proposed and distributed to the Board for consideration included provision for removal of past chairmen of sections from the Board; establishment of ACRL chapters; appointments to standing com- mittees; and mail votes of the Board of Di- rectors. The proposed changes and a com- plete copy of the ACRL Constitution and Bylaws will be published in the May 1965 issue of CRL. Meanwhile, ACRL members 166 I College & Research Libraries • March, 1965 can encourage the establishment of chap- ters in accordance with the proposed by- laws. Several proposals for ALA Council re- apportionment had been distributed by the Council Apportionment Committee. In this regard, the Board approved the following proposal of the P&A Committee: "The problem of ALA Council Appor- tionment cannot be resolved by any of the alternatives proposed by the Council Ap- portionment Committee at Midwinter other than that which suggested equal assign- ment of Councilors to each division. An alternative proposed by the ACRL Board and forwarded to the Committee would provide one councilor for the first 500 members in a division, plus one additional councilor for each additional 1,000 mem- bers." President McNeal announced that the ACRL General Session program at De- troit will be held on Thursday, July 8, at 2:00 P.M. He hopes to feature a speaker on the role of · federal legislatfon in college and research library development. Other programs and schedules for Detroit were mentioned. Schedules of ACRL and ALA activities were distributed to those con- cerned with program planning. (Detailed information will appear in the ALA Bulle- tin, March and May 1965.) Mr. Carlson, Chairman of the Committee on Liaison with Accrediting Agencies, em- phasized the importance of the new and emerging junior colleges and community colleges. The Committee hopes to have a basic document for Board consideration at Detroit. A draft will be written by David Weber, a member of the committee. We hope to work more closely with the new Federation of Accrediting Agencies and the regional accrediting agencies. The meeting was adjourned at 4:40 P.M. ACRL Membership as of January 31, 1965 was 9,236. Membership on Jan- . uary 31 , 1964 was 8,491. Section and Subsection information for 1965 will appear in the May issue. •• Area Studies Conference "AREA STUDIES AND THE LmRARIEs" will be the subject of the thirtieth annual conference of the graduate library school, U niver- sity of Chicago, scheduled for May 20-22, 1965.

BoND, a scholar of English bibliography, is the new librarian of the Houghton library of rare books and manu- scripts at Harvard University. Dr. Bond, who has been a member of the Houghton li- brary staff since 1946 and curator of manuscripts since 1948, has served as acting librarian since the death in Octo- ber of William A. Jackson. Dr. Bond He also is a lec- turer on bibliogra- phy in Harvard College and the graduate school of arts and sciences, and teaches "The History of the Book" in Harvard's general education program. Dr. Bond, who received Harvard's PhD in English philology in 1941, cataloged the private library of Arthur A. Houghton, Jr., and did research in the Folger Shakespeare library of Washington, D.C. before joining the Houghton library staff. During World War II, he was a communications officer in the United States Navy. In 1952-53, he was temporary assistant keeper of manu- scripts at the British Museum, under a Ful- bright fellowship. In his own research, Dr. Bond in 1963 brought up-to-date the "Census of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the United States and Canada," originally compiled 25 years earlier by Seymour de · Ricci and Wil- liam J. Wilson. His revision gives current locations for more than ten thousand items of manuscript writing scattered in private collections and in university and public li- braries across North America. He also edited a 1954 edition of "Jubilate Agno," by Christopher Smart, a literary curiosity of the eighteenth century. Personnel He is a member of the Bibliographical Society of London, of the governing coun- cil for the Bibliographical Society of Amer- ica, and of the board of directors of the Manuscript Society. He belongs to the Club of Odd Volumes (Boston), the Grolier Club (New York), and the Ralph Waldo Emerson Memorial Association. A 'native of York, Pa., he received the AB with honors in 1937 from Haverford College, the MAin 1938, and PhD in 1941 from Harvard. He is married to the former Helen Lynch of Amsterdam, N.Y., and they live in Con- cord with their two daughters, Nancy, a student at Mt. Holyoke College, and Sally. On September 1, 1964, EDWARDS. MoF- FAT became librarian of Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio. He brings to the position a background of academic study in some of the major universities on the Pacific coast and the Atlantic coast, and experience both as a teacher and as a li- brarian in colleges and universities of varied size. All of this can be particularly useful to an administrator whose approach is pragmatic. Born in Pasadena, he did his undergrad- uate work at Stanford University from which he received a BA with distinction in January 1947 and the MA in October of that year, both of these degrees being with major concentration in history. Within the field of American history, his special inter- est has been the colonial period; he has also done a substantial amount of work in Brit- ish history which was his minor. He did further graduate work during the next two years at the University of Washington and, in 1952-53, at Harvard. His remaining aca- demic study was at Columbia, first, at the school of library service from which he re- ceived an MS degree in 1954 and then in the graduate faculties through which he re- ceived his PhD degree in history in May I 171 172 I College & Research Libraries • March, 1965 1963. His dissertation was on the history of the Trinity School in New York, covering the period from 1709-1959. Prior to obtaining his library degree, his profession had b een that of teaching his- tory, starting as a teaching assistant at the University of Washington in 1947-1948. This was followed by an appointment as instructor at the Everett (Wash.) Junior College, 1948-49, and by an instructorship at Glendale College from 1949 to 1951. He moved to Boston at that time. It was B. La- mar Johnson, then dean and librarian of Stephens College, who impressed him with the possibilities in librarianship as a career. In anticipation of working for a library de- gree, he obtained some firsthand experience by serving as stack supervisor in the Hay- den library at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1951-52. In the ensuing academic year, a vacancy developed in an instructorship in the MIT history depart- ment and he accepted appointment to it. In 1953-54, while taking course work at the school of library service at Columbia, he held an appointment as a library trainee in the New York public library. After re- ceiving his degree, he served as librarian of the teachers' central laboratory at Hunter College from September 1954 to August 1958, at which time he was transferred uptown to the Hunter College library on the Bronx campus. In the evening and in the summer session he taught history at City College. It was in 1959 that he came to the teachers college library (an affiliated but independent Columbia library) as as- sistant librarian, a position which he held until his departure late this summer for Ohio Wesleyan. He worked with Eleanor Witmer until her retirement in June 1961 and after July 1962 with Sidney Forman, the present librarian. In the 1961-62 period, Mr. Moffat served as acting librarian. His arrival at Ohio Wesleyan has coin- cided with a major expansion in the library's physical plant, with the architectural draw- ings for a new main library already ap- proved and with excavation for the founda- tions under way. As construction proceeds, all hands on campus can look forward to spacious modern facilities which will sup- plant the crowded conditions in the Slocum library which was occupied in 1898. Ohio Wesleyan was founded in 1840 by the North Ohio Conference of the Meth- odist Episcopal church. In 1877 the Ohio Wesleyan Female College merged with it. Mter overcoming critical financial troubles in the early 1890's, the institution came into the modern period. By tradition, Methodist ministers send their sons and daughters there and, in turn, the university has be- come famous for the ministers and mission- aries it has produced. The school has been described as the pride of the church, the most famous, the best supported, and the most liberal. The enrollment of twenty-two hundred is mainly undergraduate. It can be anticipated that Dr. Moffat will approach his administrative responsibilities with energy and enthusiasm. He has ver- bal facility, which should be helpful in ex- plaining plans and in winning support. Those within the university and his col- leagues outside will look forward to observ- ing in the next few years the accomplish- ments of this practical administrator.- Charles W. Mixer.
