PREFACE 
 
 The present Manual of the New York Library Club 
 represents much thought and many efforts on the part of 
 the last two administrations. The preceding Manual had 
 been issued as a supplement to the Bulletin in March, 
 1913. Union with the Long Island Library Club in 1914 
 necessitated a new record, and the present issue must be 
 credited to the first President of the enlarged club, Mr. 
 Frederick W. Jenkins, his successor, Dr. Frank P. Hill, 
 Miss Frick, the Secretary, and the committees that worked 
 with them. For their interest and devotion to the cause 
 the thanks of the Club are due. 
 
 H. M. Lydenberg. President.

HISTORICAL SKETCH* 
 
 1901 to 1915 
 
 by charles alexander nelson, a.m. 
 
 The seventy-sixth meeting of the New York Library 
 Club, the first in the twentieth century, was held at the 
 Young Men's Christian Association, 23d Street and Fourth 
 Avenue, at 3 p.m., January 10, 1901. Mr. George W. Cole 
 acted as Secretary pro tern. The subject of having an 
 annual dinner was referred to the Executive Committee. 
 In the absence of Miss Lucy D. Waterman, her paper, 
 "On the Need of a Library Reading-room South of the 
 Post-Office," was read by Mr. C. Alexander Nelson. 
 Miss M. E. Burt read a paper, "On the Books of 1900 for 
 the Young," and Miss Helen E. Haines followed with an 
 account of the "Books of Fiction Published in 1900." 
 C. Alexander Nelson announced the death of Mr. J. N. 
 Wing, whereupon the following minute was adopted : 
 "The New York Library Club has learned with deep regret 
 of the recent decease of Mr. Josiah Norris Wing, a 
 fellow-member almost from its organization, and one 
 always active and zealous in promoting its best interests. 
 The Club desires to put on record its sense of its great 
 loss, as well as an expression of its high regard and 
 esteem for Mr. Wing as a man of unblemished character, 
 a faithful citizen, an untiring worker in the Library cause, 
 and a true and genial friend."

HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 The Club met on March 14th at 4.15 p.m., in the 
 Foreign Missions Assembly Room in the Presbyterian 
 Building, 150 Fifth Avenue. About 80 persons were 
 present. C. Alexander Nelson reported progress on the 
 Club Handbook, and at his request, the Committee was 
 authorized to expend $300 in its publication. A paper on 
 "The Public and Library Methods" was read by Miss 
 Frances B. Hawley, presenting the public's case against 
 the Librarian in regard to regulations and practices that 
 are often grievances to the borrower. Professor Harry 
 Thurston Peck, of Columbia University, editor of The 
 Bookman, followed with an address on "The Books of 
 the Last Few Years." He noted the extraordinary sales 
 of popular books, read to-day and forgotten to-morrow. 
 The people want advice in reading. We have no critics 
 worthy of the name. The influence and power of the 
 librarian, he said, increase every year, and ought to make 
 for better reading. Professor Franklin H. Giddings gave 
 a brief but very instructive talk on "What Books Should 
 be Classed as Sociology in a Public Library?" The order 
 suggested was : General works, Population, Social Mind, 
 Social Organization, and Social Welfare, with ample cross 
 references and guides. 
 
 In the evening the seventh dinner of the Club was held 
 at the rooms of the Aldine Association, 111 Fifth Avenue. 
 President Eames presided and the after-dinner speakers 
 were Henry J. Carr, Hon. D. S. Boody, Rev. Thomas H. 
 Slicer, Bolton Hall, Prof. W. P. Trent, Nathan Haskell 
 Dole, and John H. Crosby. 
 
 The sixteenth annual meeting was held at the University 
 Settlement, 189 Eldridge Street, May 9, 1901, at 3.30 p.m. 
 Dr. J. S. Billings gave an extremely interesting account 
 
 14 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 of "The Public Card Catalogue of the New York Public 
 Library." Rev. Dr. MacMahon followed with a paper 
 on "Reading Circles as a Help to the Library," and he 
 also read the remarks made by Archbishop Corrigan 
 regarding the possible consolidation of the Cathedral 
 Library with the New York Public Library. 
 
 The autumnal meeting was held on October 10th in the 
 Aguilar Library, 197 East Broadway, at 3.15 p.m. Fully 
 150 were present. President H. M. Leipziger in his inau- 
 gural remarks emphasized the need of fraternal and social 
 intercourse among members. Miss Helen E. Haines gave 
 a summary of the A. L. A. meeting at Waukesha, and 
 Dr. Canfield gave an account of the meeting of the State 
 Library Association at Lake Placid. Messrs. Bostwick, 
 Gaillard and Nelson were appointed a committee to 
 arrange plans for Library Institutes in the vicinity of New 
 York during the coming year. 
 
 The 80th meeting was held November 14, 1901, in the 
 hall of the Y. M. C. A. building, Fourth Avenue and 
 23d Street, at 3 p.m. About 200 were present. A letter 
 from Mrs. H. L. Elmendorf, explaining the plans of the 
 Institute Committee of the State Library Association, was 
 read and referred to the Institute Committee. This Com- 
 mittee reported that Institutes would be arranged for in 
 Westchester County. Mr. W. R. Eastman presented an 
 illustrated lecture on "Some Typical Library Building 
 Plans." Mr. Arthur E. Bostwick explained the progress 
 made in plans for the Carnegie library buildings for New 
 York City. 
 
 On January 2, 1902, the Club met at the assembly hall 
 of the Board of Education, at 3.15 p.m. Two hundred 
 were present. Dr. Leipziger spoke briefly on "Possibilities 
 
 15 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 of Library Expansion in Connection with the Board of 
 Education." Provision is made for libraries in the public 
 schools. Four evening reading rooms had to be closed for 
 lack of appropriation for support. Miss Rathbone opened 
 the discussion on "Classification of Fiction by Subject and 
 Value," followed by Mrs. Fairchild, Mr. John Thomson 
 of Philadelphia, Mr. Gaillard, Miss Kelso, Mr. Bostwick 
 and F. P. Hill. A committee was appointed to co-operate 
 with the Keystone State Library Association in further 
 consideration of this important question. 
 
 By invitation of the Grolier Club a special meeting 
 was held at their Club House on February 13th at 3 p.m. 
 An address of welcome was made by Mr. Howard Mans- 
 field, the President of the Grolier Club, to which Dr. 
 Leipziger briefly responded. Mr. H. W. Kent gave an 
 address on "Mosaic Bookbindings," illustrated by crayon 
 sketches. Mr. George H. Baker followed with a paper on 
 "The Librarian's Duty as a Bookbuyer." Miss E. L. 
 Foote, having resigned as Secretary, Mr. Silas H. Berry 
 was appointed to that office. Members tarried to examine 
 the exhibit of fine bindings and to inspect the fine library 
 of the Grolier Club. 
 
 On March 13, 1902, the Club met at the Y. M. C. A. 
 rooms, 23d Street and Fourth Avenue, at 3 p.m. An 
 interesting address was delivered by Mr. Melvil Dewey 
 on "Library Progress and Prospects." In the evening 
 the Club held its ninth dinner at the Aldine Association. 
 There was an attendance of nearly 300. The guests of 
 honor were Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie. An hour's 
 reception preceded the dinner, the menu for which was 
 filled with apt quotations never before so applied. Dr. 
 Leipziger acted as toastmaster; he said that Mr. Carnegie 
 
 16 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 had turned iron into gold and then converted that metal 
 into a great spiritual force. That if ever there was to be 
 a saint's day in the Library calendar it would be "Saint 
 Andrew's Day." Melvil Dewey was the first speaker 
 making a stirring plea for libraries for country hamlets 
 and country folk. He closed with the wish that he had 
 three hours in which to present some of his ideas about 
 libraries. Mr. Carnegie followed in a very happy vein. 
 He said Mr. Dewey did not need three hours, "he strikes 
 the nail on the head in a few minutes. I have made 
 to-day a sort of Library Day. The idea of coming here 
 to be with librarians to-night seemed so delightful that I 
 thought I would make a full day of it, so I have passed 
 upon forty applications for libraries. And I am happy 
 to say that all of the applications considered to-day were 
 approved. I assure you that it was a very great privilege 
 to be able to give the money that was required. * * * 
 Is it really true that we are known by the company we 
 keep? Then you librarians belong to the highest society 
 that this world can produce. * * * You must experience 
 great delight to know that you are continually in the 
 presence of the master spirits of the world which time has 
 left to refine and bless us all. I once asked Lord Acton 
 how many books it would be necessary to put into a 
 library representing the world's best literature. Four 
 thousand volumes was the number he named." Mr. C. C. 
 Burlingham spoke of the school library system of the city. 
 John Kendrick Bangs made a delightful speech, full of 
 happy allusions and amusing anecdotes. Dr. John S. 
 Billings spoke as representative of the American Library 
 Association, and Miss Mary E. Hazeltine for the State 
 Association. The evening was a most enjoyable one.

HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 The seventeenth annual meeting of the Club was held 
 on May 8th, at 3 p.m., in the Library of the American 
 Museum of Natural History. On motion of C. Alexander 
 Nelson, Frederick Saunders, A.M., now in his ninety-fifth 
 year, was elected the first American Honorary Member 
 of the Club. Mr. Andrew Carnegie was also elected an 
 Honorary Member. Dr. Leipziger, retiring President, con- 
 gratulated the Club on its growth and success. Mr. Hovey, 
 of the Museum, spoke on "The Relation of the Library 
 to the Museum." Mr. Cole submitted a "Report on the 
 Handbook" for the Publishing Committee, and the Club 
 voted thanks and congratulations to the Committee for 
 the excellent work accomplished. Mr. Anthony Wood- 
 ward, Librarian of the Museum, spoke on "The Literature 
 of Natural History." The Museum Library, started in 
 1869 with the gift of one book, now has above 54,000 
 volumes. 
 
 The 85th meeting of the Club was held at 3 p.m. on 
 October 9, 1902, in the Library of the Y. M. C. A., 
 317 West 56th Street. Miss Helen Haines told of the 
 Post conference trip to Bar Harbor of the A. L. A., 
 following the Conference at Magnolia in June. Miss 
 Baldwin gave a breezy account of the social side of 
 "Library Work" at Lake Placid, and Mr. R. G. Welsh 
 reviewed the business transacted and subjects discussed 
 at the sessions. Dr. Andrew F. Currier gave an address 
 on "The Sterilization of Books by Vapor of Formalin," 
 followed by a discussion. 
 
 On November 19th, at 3.30 p.m., the annual educational 
 meeting of the Club was held in the assembly hall of 
 the Board of Education. Dr. E. D. Shimer gave an 
 address on "Public School Libraries," showing what New 
 
 18 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 York has done for them. Dr. E. W. Stitt spoke on 
 "A Boy's Education as Influenced by Libraries." Miss 
 Julia Richman read a paper on "Two Universal Phases 
 of Library Reading by Public School Girls." Miss Ade- 
 laide E. Brown explained the New York Public Library's 
 plan of traveling libraries for the schools. 
 
 A meeting of the Club was held in Earl Hall, Columbia 
 University, January 15, 1903. Mr. Nelson announced the 
 death of the only American Honorary Member of the Club, 
 Mr. Frederick Saunders, ex-librarian of the Astor Library, 
 at the age of ninety-six years. Dr. Thomas Denison 
 Wood, of the Department of Physical Education, spoke 
 on "The Hygiene of Reading." For greatest ease of 
 reading a printed line should not be over three inches 
 long, and the preferable light is an indirect white light. 
 Readers should seek a north window, if possible, hold 
 book at right angles to the axis of the eye, and hold the 
 head erect. Dr. Joseph H. McMahon spoke on "Dangers 
 of Over Reading." The purpose of reading is, or should 
 be, to stimulate thought. Much reading cannot be of use 
 unless it produces thought. Miss Josephine Rathbone 
 reported on Library Institutes held by the Long Island 
 Library Club and Mr. Bostwick on some held by this Club. 
 
 A meeting of the Club was held March 12, 1903, at 
 3 p.m., in the new Carnegie building of the Yorkville 
 Branch of the Public Library. A discussion on the use 
 of the accession book was opened by Mr. Frank Weiten- 
 kampf. Miss Hitchler, Dr. Billings, F. P. Hill and Mr. 
 Bardwell spoke advocating its use. Mr. Bliss, of the 
 City College, exhibited a card to take its place. Three 
 papers were read on the question "What Do Teachers 
 Read?" by Miss Mary D. Pretlow, Miss Alice Wilde and 
 Miss Florence Overton. 
 
 19 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 In the evening of March 26th, the Club held its ninth 
 dinner at the Aldine Association; an entirely enjoyable 
 affair with an attendance of nearly one hundred. The 
 after-dinner speakers were John Kendrick Bangs, Walter 
 H. Page, Rev. Thomas A. Sheer, Mornay Williams, Dr. 
 James A. Canfield and A. E. Bostwick. 
 
 May 14th, the Club held its annual meeting in the lecture 
 hall of the Botanical Museum, Bronx Park, at 2.30 p.m. 
 Dr. N. L. Britton extended a hearty welcome. The Insti- 
 tute Committee announced a May Institute to be held at 
 Irvington-on-the-Hudson.* Silas H. Berry gave an illus- 
 trated address on "Some Flower Structures and Their 
 Meaning." 
 
 The 90th meeting of the Club was held October 8th, at 
 3.30 p.m., in the hall of the Board of Education. Dr. 
 Charles P. Gilbert spoke on "The Public Library and the 
 Public School," and C. G. Leland explained "The New 
 York Public School Library System" for installing libraries 
 in the public schools. Amendments to the Constitution 
 were adopted adding all the officers to the Executive Com- 
 mittee and making the President its chairman. 
 
 The Club met November 12th, at 3 p.m., by invitation, 
 in the Insurance Library of the Equitable Life Assurance 
 Society, 120 Broadway. The two hundred present were 
 welcomed by Mr. William Alexander, Secretary of the 
 Society. A description of the Insurance Library, bought 
 en bloc in 1886 from the estate of Cornelius Walford of 
 London, was given by the Librarian, Miss Mary E. Miller. 
 R. R. Bowker followed with interesting reminiscences 
 of Mr. Walford. Dr. James H. Canfield read a paper on 
 "Specialization of Libraries," leading to a discussion of 
 
 *This was held on May 27th with three successful sessions.

HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 the topic by Dr. Richardson, Air. Elmendorf, Mr. Bowker 
 and others. The club pin was adopted. A collation was 
 informally served. 
 
 At 3 p.m., January 14, 1904, the Club met at the Chatham 
 Square Branch of the New York Public Library. Dr. 
 David Blaustein, in an address on "Aggressive Educa- 
 tional Work of Lower East Side Libraries," made a strong 
 plea for American books in the Jewish language of the 
 lower east side, and for Jewish history and literature in 
 the English language. Mrs. V. G. Simkhovitch followed 
 with a "destructive criticism," as she called it, on "Uses 
 and Limitations of Libraries and Neighborhood Work." 
 An urgent appeal was made for the sale of more copies 
 of the handbook. Four hundred circular letters were 
 sent in December to library workers not members of the 
 Club. 
 
 The tenth dinner of the Club was given at the Aldine 
 Association, February 16th. "The evening of February 
 16th," writes Mr. R. G. Welsh, chairman of the Dinner 
 Committee, "was bitterly cold. It was Mardi Gras, which 
 is a night of many social functions — it was one of the 
 evenings when Parsifal was rendered at the Opera House 
 — three serious facts which may account for the presence 
 at the annual dinner of the Library Club of only seventy- 
 nine members and friends. We had with us six invited 
 guests, Dr. Herbert Putnam, President of the A. L. A., 
 Miss Ruth Putnam, Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman and her 
 husband, Miss Marguerite Merington, and Mr. Burgess 
 Johnson. * * * Dr. Putnam, Mrs. Gilman, Miss Merington 
 and Mr. Johnson spoke each in a happy vein, and one 
 of our own number, Mr. Nelson of Columbia, gave us 
 some reminiscences of his early years as a librarian."

 tended welcome. Monsignor George Hobart Doane spoke 
 on "Library Influences" ; Charles Sprague Smith on 
 "Working with the People," explaining the foundation and 
 working of the People's Institute, and Dr. Charlton T. 
 Lewis gave an inspiring address on "The Library as a 
 Civilizing Force." 
 
 The annual meeting was held in the Auditorium of New 
 York University on May 12, 1904, at 3 p.m. Chancellor 
 MacCracken extended a cordial welcome and spoke on 
 the architectural and educational features of the Uni- 
 versity Library. Mr. William T. Partridge read a paper 
 on "Architectural Competitions for Library Buildings." 
 Mr. Walter Cook read a paper on "Architectural Prob- 
 lems Encountered in Building the New York Carnegie 
 Branch Library Buildings." 
 
 The 95th meeting of the Club was held in Milbank 
 Chapel, Teachers College, on November 10, 1904, at 3 p.m. 
 Dr. James E. Russell cordially welcomed the Club and 
 contrasted the German and American methods in sec- 
 ondary education. Dr. John T. Buchanan gave a brilliant 
 talk on "Three Bs — the Boy, the Book and the Ball," and 
 predicted the best type of manhood as a result of the 
 judicious combination of the three. Mrs. Mathilde C. 
 Ford read a paper on "The Relation Between the Public 
 School and the Public Library," criticising the maintenance 
 of school libraries by the Board of Education. A reso- 
 lution was adopted declaring that the work of Library In- 
 stitutes could be carried on more effectively by the State 
 Education Department. 
 
 22 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 On December 8th, at 3 p.m., the Club met at the 
 Tompkins Square Branch of the New York Public Library. 
 Dr. Billings welcomed the Club and offered the use of the 
 Carnegie Library buildings whenever they might be needed. 
 Dr. George B. Hitchcock spoke on "The Colleges and Uni- 
 versities of Greater New York," of which there are eleven 
 in flourishing condition. Dr. Luther H. Gulick gave an 
 address on "The Place of the College and University in 
 Education," advancing some revolutionary ideas in higher 
 education. An animated discussion followed. A com- 
 mittee on celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the 
 Club was appointed. 
 
 At a meeting of the Club held at 3 p.m., January 12, 
 1905, at Cooper Union, the general topic was "Professional 
 and Technical Education in Greater New York." Pro- 
 fessor Clarence D. Ashley gave an address on "Prelim- 
 inary Education for the Professions." Mr. William

 Union, its object and growth. Dr. David Blaustein ex- 
 plained the work of the Educational Alliance in Ameri- 
 canizing the foreigners, all Jews, of that section of the

 evening of April 27, 1905, at the Park Avenue Hotel, "and 
 proved pleasant and successful in every way. There was 
 an attendance of about 150, including many guests from 
 out of town. The President, Mr. C. Alexander Nelson, 
 presided and introduced the various speakers, all of whom, 
 in the course of their remarks, referred to the length 
 and usefulness of his activities in the library profession. 
 The after-dinner exercises were opened by Melvil Dewey, 
 who was introduced as the founder of the Club, and who 
 spoke of the great changes effected in library affairs 
 during the past twenty years, and the bright outlook for 
 the future. Edmund Clarence Stedman read a poem. * * * 
 Ion Perdicaris gave an interesting account of his cap- 
 tivity in Morocco a year ago, and of the measures taken 
 by the American government for his release, and spoke 
 of his pleasure in being present at this half-century anni- 
 versary of one of his Harvard classmates." A poem sent 
 by H. L. Koopman, Librarian of Brown University, was 
 read by Miss E. L. Foote. The other speakers were Dr. 
 W. H. Maxwell, Professor William H. Carpenter, Rev. Dr. 
 Merle St. Croix Wright, and Dr. E. C. Richardson, 
 President of the A. L. A. "At the close of the speech- 
 making the Executive Committee of the Club, on behalf 
 of the club members, presented to the President a loving 
 cup, in commemoration of his fiftieth anniversary in 
 library work and in token of their affection and regard. 
 The presentation address was made for the Committee by 
 Mr. Arthur E. Bostwick" in humorous verses.

 mated at 300 pages. It was voted that the Secretary be 
 paid a salary of $30 a year and necessary expenses. 
 The topic of the day being "The Library," as one of the 
 educational facilities of Greater New York, President 
 Nelson opened the discussion with a few remarks show- 
 ing the extraordinary growth of library work during the 
 last fifty years. Miss Mary W. Plummer read a char- 
 acteristically exhaustive paper on "The Library Facilities 
 of New York," showing the extent to which libraries of 
 all classes contribute toward education. The chief defect 
 would seem to be the lack of evening hours at the great 
 reference libraries, and the lack of Sunday hours at all 
 libraries except the Y. M. C. A. and Cooper Union. Dr. 
 E. C. Richardson read a paper on "The Library in the 
 Community" from the librarian's standpoint. Dr. John 
 De W. Warner treated the same topic from the stand- 
 point of the layman, making a strong plea for the people 
 who have a limited amount of time.

 ing how a book gets to be — how a manuscript becomes 
 a physical book. Mr. Henry Lewis Johnson, editor of

 account of the print collection of the New York Public 
 Library. 
 
 On the evening of January 12, 1906, the New York and 
 Long Island Library Clubs held a joint meeting in the 
 refectory of the General Theological Seminary. Mr. Kent 
 welcomed the visiting club, spoke of the generosity of the 
 Seminary in supplying a place of meeting and of the 
 difficulty met by the officers in finding a suitable permanent 
 place and of his own vain efforts to secure an interview 
 with Mr. Carnegie with the solving of the problem in view. 
 A paper on "Practical Bibliography," by Mrs. A. H. 
 Leypoldt, was read by Miss Haines. Dr. E. C. Rich-

 in the Educational Museum, which was the result of fifteen 
 
 26 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 years' study and experience of the subject. Miss Collar 
 gave a talk on the historical side of bookbinding, and 
 Miss Rathbone explained the Newark method of pre- 
 paring books for the binder, with a saving of three- 
 quarters of the time usually spent.

 price of tickets to be $2, any deficit to be met by the Club. 
 Discussion of the topic "How Can the Public Library Co- 
 operate with Organized Efforts to Better Social Condi- 
 tions?" was opened by Mr. Robert Bruere, of the New 
 York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, 
 who presented some novel ideas as to how a library might 
 go out in search of new business. Mr. Robert H. Whitten 
 followed with a paper on "Special Libraries." The "Round 
 Table" on the "Service of a Public Library to the Va- 
 rious Departments of the City Government" was led by 
 Mr. Walter B. Briggs. Mr. Bruere was asked : "Can 
 the district visitors to the poor form a connecting link 
 with the public library" He answered in the affirma- 
 tive. 
 
 On the evening of April 30th, in the midst of a terrific 
 thunder storm, thirty-three members and guests of the 
 Club sat down to the fourteenth dinner of the Club at 
 the Park Avenue Hotel, fifty per cent, more women than 
 men at table. It proved one of the most sociable and 
 enjoyable of the Club dinners, a veritable family gather- 
 ing. Dr. George Cary Eggleston spoke on the novel 
 and the work and value of the sentimentalist. Mrs. Anna 
 Garlin Spencer gave charming reminiscences of browsing 
 in an old-fashioned library and made a plea for more 
 open shelves in libraries. Rev. Thomas R. Slicer with his 
 
 30 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 usual humor hit off the stack system of storing books, 
 so-many-and-a-half stories above and below the level 
 of delivery, and no book more than 42 feet in a 
 straight line from the finger-tips of the attendant. Mrs. 
 Martha Foote Crowe pleaded for more poetry in libraries. 
 Charles Battell Loomis read some of his inimitable 
 fables in his inimitable manner, and Mr. Bostwick pre- 
 sented some letters of regret purporting to come from 
 celebrities, closing with a humorous ballad of "The Girl 
 at the Charging Desk," signed R. K.

 Authors' Club, November 12th, at 3 p.m. After announc- 
 ing the program for the year as covering the relations 
 of libraries with the professions or trades most nearly 
 connected with their work, authors, publishers, binders and 
 artists, President Bostwick presented Mr. Francis W. 
 Halsey, who discussed the question "How Does the Circu- 
 lation of Books from Public Libraries Affect Their Sale to 
 Individuals?" Mr. Montrose J. Moses followed on "How 
 Much Do Authors Use Libraries in the Writing of 
 Books?" He designated the library as a possible demo- 
 cratic literary academy of the future. Dr. Billings re- 
 
 31 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 marked that the author should give the library time to 
 find and arrange the material desired for some special 
 purpose. Like editors, librarians, he said, are supposed 
 to know everything, and they come about as near to it as 
 the editors. Mr. Duffield Osborne emphasized the appeal 
 for access to the shelves and spoke on "Does An Author 
 Write Consciously for Public Library Readers?" He 
 thought not. Mr. Bostwick spoke of the "infra-library" 
 literature very popular with non-library users. Miss Lord 
 called attention to the decided advance in the quality of 
 fiction found on public news stands, attributing the change 
 to the influence of the public library. Mr. Moses noted 
 similar change in the quality of melodrama. Mr. Bowker 
 gave an account of the origin of the Authors' Club and 
 how it came to have rooms in Carnegie Hall, and Dr. 
 Rossiter Johnson called attention to its collection of 
 literary biography in which were some very rare 
 books.

 ered together for any occasion. President Bostwick ex- 
 plained that the program of the evening was in line 
 with the year's programs for the regular meetings of 
 
 32

 the Club. An appropriate gift was handed to each speaker 
 and a bit of presentation poetry attached was read. Mr. 
 Charles Battell Loomis described how the "no ordinary 
 man" wrote, illustrated and sold his own manuscript. He 
 received a can of midnight oil tied with the Club's colors, 
 and responded that an author is always glad to see a full 
 dinner pail. Dr. I. N. Funk, expressing appreciation of a 
 new printing press, made a plea for simplified spelling 
 from the publisher's point of view. Mr. Troy Kinney, 
 illustrator, received a foot of red, white and blue lead 
 pencil, and trusted he might do as well as Mr. Loomis, 
 whose story described the production of a dozen pictures 
 in an hour. Mrs. K. E. Barry, of Olivers' bindery, smiled

 ship, and a smaller number for a quorum of the Council. 
 The topic for the day was 'The Relations Between 
 Librarians and Book-binders." Miss Rose Murray con- 
 trasted the method of the binder of the past with that 
 of the binder for the public library of to-day. Mr. Robert 
 Rutter, Mr. F. J. Pfister and Mr. Cedric Chivers presented 
 
 33 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 the subject from the point of view of the binder, the 
 latter emphasizing the problems arising from the endless 
 variety of paper used in making books. 
 
 The twenty-fourth annual meeting of the Club was held 
 May 13, 1909, in the 96th Street Branch, New York Public

 versity, was read, accepted and ordered spread on the min- 
 utes. "Art in Its Relation to Libraries" was the topic for

 West 23d Street, on December 19th, at 3.15 p.m. The resig- 
 nation of Mr. George Watson Cole as President was an- 
 nounced and the Council reported the appointment of Miss 
 Elizabeth G. Baldwin to fill the unexpired term, and of 
 Miss Harriet B. Prescott as Vice-President in Miss Bald- 
 win's place. A resolution expressing deep regret at the 
 death of Mr. Adolph Growoll, late editor of The Publish- 
 er's Weekly, was presented and adopted. The Club then 
 listened to an address on "Henrik Ibsen," delivered by 
 Professor Nathaniel Schmidt of Cornell University. "All 
 
 34 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 who were present felt the inspiration of the speaker's 
 earnestness, sincerity and elevation of thought." 
 
 The 118th meeting of the New York Library Club was 
 held at the Harlem Branch, New York Public Library, on 
 March 16, 1910, at 3 p.m. Miss Julia E. Elliott read a paper 
 on "Indexing and Some Other Unorganized Lines of Li- 
 brary Work." A paper by George Watson Cole on "Book 
 Collectors as Public Library Benefactors" was read by 
 Miss Ruth S. Granniss. Mr. Cole treated the subject very 
 broadly and exhaustively. A third paper on "The History

 The twenty-fifth annual meeting of the Club was held 
 May 13, 1910, at the Museum of Natural History, at 3 p.m.. 
 The program contained four papers of retrospect and four 
 of forecast for the coming quarter century. Miss J. A. 
 Rathbone in "Changes in Statistics" showed that the num- 
 ber of libraries of over 1,000 volumes had increased 89 per 
 cent, since 1885, that the number of volumes in the 
 libraries of the country had increased 215 per cent, and: 
 that the circulation of the libraries had increased 275 per 
 cent. In "Changes in Methods" Miss Theresa Hitchler 
 pointed out that there had been a very great advance 
 toward simplicity and freedom. Miss Harriet B. Prescott 
 in "Changes in Scope" showed that library work had ex- 
 panded to include work with children, state commission 
 work and traveling and home library work, that library 
 schools and training classes had been established, and that 
 there had been great increase in the privileges extended 
 to borrowers of books. Mr. R. R. Bowker, noting the 
 "Changes in Ideals," held that the ideal was that the 
 
 35 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 libraries of the country should be so unified that every 
 reader, anywhere, can feel that every book of every library 
 is available for his service. The forecasts comprised talks 
 by Mr. W. Dawson Johnston on "Libraries and Schools," 
 hoping for more instruction in the use of reference books 
 and library methods in secondary schools ; by Miss Mary 
 W. Plummer on "Library Training" ; by Mr. Frank P. 
 Hill on "Special Libraries and Consulting Staffs" ; and 
 by Mr. Edward F. Stevens on "Possible New Fields or 
 Extensions of Library Work." Miss Plummer suggested 
 that special training for the librarian in law, medicine, edu- 
 cation, technology and other special subjects could be had 
 by establishing library schools in connection with uni- 
 versities, so that library students in any line of work 
 could receive the special training necessary. There should 
 be trained workers with adequate salaries in every depart- 
 ment of library service. 
 
 About 200 members got together on the 120th meeting of 
 the Club, held in the Chapel of Teachers College at 8 p.m.,

 lope's "Autobiography" ; Miss Julia F. Carter gave a 
 materialistic view of "Alice" ; Miss H. R. Keller read a 
 paper on Jane Addams' "Spirit of Youth and the City 
 Streets"; Miss Anna C. Tyler eulogized Arnold Bennett's 
 "Buried Alive"; Henry W. Kent idealized on "Bayle's 
 Dictionary," and an appreciation of Rostand's "Chanticler," 
 from the pen of Helen E. Haines, was read by Miss Mabel 
 Haines. The convention was a success.

 topic was the "Mutual Relations of Our Foreign Popula- 
 tion and the Library." Mr. Charles R. Tovvson described 
 the extensive work of the Y. M. C. A. in teaching English 
 to foreigners. Mrs. V. Simkhovitch and others favored 
 the translation of English classics into the language of the 
 foreigners and a more liberal use of the assembly halls in 
 library buildings. An animated discussion followed in 
 which many took part. The Italians were declared difficult 
 to reach because not a reading public. Mr. Stevens spoke 
 of a movement of educated Italians in Brooklyn for work 
 among their own people. Miss Rose referred to work 
 among the Chinese begun at the Chatham Square Branch, 
 New York Public Library. Mr. George lies gave high 
 praise to C. A. Perry's "Wider Use of the School Plant."

 two hours. 
 
 The annual meeting of the Club was held at the Ameri- 
 can Museum of Natural History on May 11, 1911, at

 scope of the Society from its foundation in 1804. Mrs. 
 Emil L. Boas, President of the City History Club, gave 
 a most enthusiastic account of the work of that Club 
 with its student members, of whom there are fifty groups 
 working under thirty leaders. While the Club has no 
 
 38

 library of its own, it creates a good demand for books 
 at the public libraries. In the absence of Mr. F. B. 
 Bigelow, Librarian of the New York Society Library, his 
 paper descriptive of that Library and its work was read 
 by Miss Rathbone. Miss Florence E. Young gave an ac- 
 count of the library and work of the Genealogical and 
 Biographical Society, comparatively little known because 
 its use is limited to members and their friends. 
 
 On March 13, 1912, the third meeting on the special 
 libraries of Manhattan was held at 3 p.m. at the Union 
 Theological Seminary. Professor W. W. Rockwell, 
 Librarian, spoke on the theological libraries of the city, 
 with special reference to that of the Seminary. He 
 specially mentioned the classification for theology upon 
 which Miss Julia Pettee, head cataloguer, had been work- 
 ing for three years past, utilizing the preliminary studies 
 made by Dr. Gillett during the preceding ten years. 
 Dr. C. R. Gillett spoke on the McAlpin collection of

 memorable occasion. 
 
 On the evening of May 9th a meeting was held in 
 the refectory of the General Theological Seminary. Mr.

 account of the special collections in the Yale Library, 
 dwelling mainly upon the unique collection of the 
 Elizabethan Club at that University, an endowed club 
 without dues or fees. A catalogue of members, books, 
 pictures, etc., is now being printed by the Clarendon Press 
 with the seventeenth century type of Bishop Fell. 
 
 A meeting of the Club was held in the Chapel of 
 Teachers' College on the evening of October 11th. Presi- 
 dent Hicks outlined the work proposed for the year, call- 
 ing attention to the new feature of assigning special sub- 
 jects to new committees, which are to work up these sub- 
 jects and report at the last meeting of the year. There 
 are six of these new committees, viz., on historical manu- 
 scripts, institutional libraries, prints, school libraries, 
 special collections and union lists. A list of all com- 
 mittees appears in the new club publication — the Bulletin. 
 Dr. Lee Galloway, representing the Efficiency Society, gave 
 an address on the "Modern Efficiency Movement." Mr. 
 W. P. Cutter read a paper on "Efficiency in Libraries." 
 The President read an account of some experiments in 
 efficiency tried by Miss Hume in the branches of the 
 Queens Borough Public Library. A discussion followed 
 in which Dr. W. D. Johnston, Miss Hitchler and Dr. 
 W. W. Rockwell took part. 
 
 The November meeting was held on the 14th at 3 p.m. 
 in the Broadway Tabernacle Church jointly with the New 
 York Peace Society. The topic of the day was "Relation 
 
 40 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 of Libraries to the Peace Movement." President Nicholas 
 Murray Butler spoke on 'The Contemporary Peace Move- 
 ment," its three centers of information and activity and 
 their publications, of which all librarians should have 
 knowledge. He also spoke of the periodical and pamphlet 
 literature on the subject. Professor Samuel T. Dutton, 
 of the Peace Society, spoke on "The Library and the 
 Peace Problem." Mr. Paul Brockett, of the Smithsonian 
 Institution, presented a paper on "International Exchange 
 and Loan r Books." Miss H. B. Prescott read a paper on 
 "International Bureaus of Information" by Professor 
 Adolf C. von Noe, of the University of Chicago, treating 
 of the great bibliographical projects now being developed. 
 
 The 130th meeting, a joint gathering of the New York 
 and Long Island Library Clubs, was held at the Ethical 
 Culture Building on January 9, 1913, at 3 p.m. The general 
 topic was "The Relation of Libraries to Contemporary 
 Movements in Education." The first speaker, Professor 
 Ernst M. Henderson, of Adelphi College, spoke on "Prob- 
 lems and Movements in Modern Education," dwelling on 
 vocational education, or the adaptation of education to the 
 individual. Miss Kate Turner, of Erasmus Hall High 
 School, read a paper on "Vocational Guidance in the High 
 School." Miss Elizabeth Farrell gave an inspiring ad- 
 dress on "The Problem of Backward and Defective 
 Children in the Elementary School." Dr. Bardwell, Dis~ 
 trict Superintendent of Schools, spoke of the influence 
 the libraries should exert in seeing that practical knowl- 
 edge of these and other problems percolates into the home. 
 
 The Club met March 13th at 8.30 p.m. in the Lecture 
 Room of the Y. M. C. A. on 23d Street. Memorial tribute 
 to Dr. John Shaw Billings was rendered by President 
 
 41 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 Hicks, by the adoption of a resolution presented by Dr. 
 William Dawson Johnston, and by a brief address by 
 Dr. Talcott Williams, in which he stated that the election 
 of Dr. Billings to membership in the National Academy 
 of Sciences was "an action that definitely established 
 notable library work as ranking with more purely scien- 
 tific achievements." 
 
 The topic of the evening was the "Relation of Libraries 
 to the Publicity Movement." Dr. Talcott Williams spoke 
 on "Libraries and the Public Press," showing the im- 
 portance to the present-day investigator of up-to-date in- 
 formation found only in newspapers, each of which each 
 day has from 600 to 1,000 separate articles all unindexed. 
 He illustrated the value of the decimal classification in 
 filing newspaper clippings. Mr. Leo Arnstein spoke of 
 "The Municipal Research Library and Publicity in Public 
 Affairs," dwelling on the importance of keeping the pub- 
 lic informed on public affairs. Mr. J. C. Dana's paper 
 on "The Public Library and Publicity in Public Affairs" 
 was read by Mr. Hicks. 
 
 The twenty-eighth annual meeting of the Club was 
 held May 8, 1913, in the Hall of the Y. W. C. A., 7 East 
 15th Street. The annual election was held and full reports 
 of work done by the various committees were read. These 
 reports "showed much research and investigation into local 
 conditions and some were of such a nature as to promise 
 to be of more than local use and interest." They are all 
 printed in full in the Bulletin for June. 
 
 The October meeting of the Club was held on the 9th 
 in the Lecture Hall of the Botanical Museum, at 3 p.m. 
 The President, Miss Mary W. Plummer, announced the 
 general topic for the year to be the "City," and the special 
 
 42 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 subject for the meeting "Education Outside of Books." 
 Dr. N. L. Britton, Director of the New York Botanical 
 Garden, gave an illustrated address on "Educational Ac- 
 tivities of the Botanical Garden." Dr. Raymond L. 
 Ditmars, curator of the Zoological Park, gave an account 
 of "The Zoological Society and Its Park," which, begun in 
 1899, has grown to be the finest in the world. At the 
 close of his talk he gave a "stereopticon trip" around the 
 park, showing many interesting slides. 
 
 On December 19, 1913, at 3 p.m., a joint meeting of 
 the Long Island and New York Library Clubs and the New 
 Jersey Library Association was held in the Auditorium of 
 the Horace Mann School. Miss Plummer presided and 
 introduced the English poet, Mr. Alfred Noyes, who spoke 
 on "The Sea in Tennyson's Poems," following his address 
 with readings from his own poems. 
 
 The 135th meeting of the Club was held January 22, 
 1914, in the Auditorium of the National Headquarters of 
 the Y. W. C. A., Miss Plummer presiding. Mr. John 
 Collier, of the People's Institute, gave an address on 
 "The Moving Picture Show," showing how the production 
 of films had been monopolized commercially, and the diffi- 
 culty of getting films of educational value. Mr. William 
 McAndrew gave his experience of the uncertainty of 
 moving pictures, and the difficulty of procuring suitable 
 films for his school. Miss Hassler told briefly how the 
 Queensborough Public Library had used moving pictures 
 to create public interest. 
 
 The annual meeting was held on the afternoon of 
 May 14th, at the Washington Irving High School. The 
 topic for the day was "Immigration : a. How It Affects 
 New York City; b. How New York City Affects the Im- 
 
 43 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 migrant." The speakers were Mr. Henry C. Wright, from 
 the Department of Charities ; Deputy Commissioner Bur- 
 dette G. Lewis, of the Department of Public Correction ; 
 Congressman William S. Bennet, and Mr. Joseph Mayper. 
 The result was a thorough discussion of the immigrant 
 from many points of view, Mr. Bennet presenting a very 
 optimistic view of his value economically, morally and 
 politically. 
 
 A special meeting of the New York Library Club was 
 held at the New York Public Library, 42d Street, June 29, 
 1914, at 4 pm. The resolutions passed by the Council 
 June 19, recommending consolidation with the Long Island 
 Library Club, were read and the following resolutions were 
 adopted unanimously : 
 
 Resolved, That the New York Library Club invites 
 the Long Island Library Club to consolidate with the 
 New York Library Club. 
 
 Resolved, That if the Long Island Library Club accepts 
 the invitation of the New York Library Club to consoli- 
 date, the members of the Long Island Library Club 
 thereby become members of the New York Library Club 
 and the dues of all members of the Long Island Library 
 Club be considered paid until January 1, 1915. 
 
 The Long Island Library Club, at a special meeting 
 held September 14, 1914, accepted the invitation and voted 
 to consolidate with the New York Library Club, and at 
 a meeting of the Council of the latter club, held Sep- 
 tember 21, the Secretary was instructed to incorporate 
 the names in the list of members of the Long Island 
 Library Club in the list of members of the New York 
 Library Club. 
 
 The 138th meeting of the Club was held in the Audi- 
 
 44 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 torium of the Y. W. C. A., 7 East 15th Street, October 8, 
 
 1914, at 8.15 p.m. The President congratulated the Club 
 on the consolidation and welcomed the new members. 
 Mr. Donald Hendry, who was in charge of the American 
 Library Association Exhibit at Leipsic, read a paper en- 
 titled "An On-looker at Leipsic." A communication from 
 the officers of the Club elected at the annual meeting 
 in May was read tendering their resignation, "to enable 
 the Club as at present constituted to elect a ticket of its 
 own." New officers were elected. Mr. Frederick W. 
 Jenkins, the new president, made a brief address on taking 
 the chair. 
 
 On November 12, 1914, the Club met in the Assembly 
 Room of the Merchants' Association in the Woolworth 
 Building, at 2.45 p.m., 310 members and guests in attend- 
 ance. Dr. Frederick A. Cleveland of the Bureau" of 
 Municipal Research, gave an interesting account of the 
 origin, development and work of that Bureau. The Bureau 
 gets at the facts and lays them before the official involved 
 that he may make the necessary changes. After much 
 opposition in the beginning the Bureau in nearly every 
 instance is now working in harmony with the official on 
 the problems of his office. 
 
 The 140th meeting of the Club was held January 14, 
 
 1915, in the Hall of the Long Island Historical Society, 
 Brooklyn, at 3 p.m. Milo H. Gates, D.D., delivered an 
 address on "The Problem for the Church and the Library." 
 
 The March meeting was held on the 11th in the Audi- 
 torium of the National Board of Y. W. C. A., 600 Lexing-

 "The Child at Work." Mr. William L. Ettinger on 
 
 45 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 "The Child at School," with special reference to pre- 
 vocational training. Miss Anna B. Gallup told of "The 
 Child in the Museum" and Mr. Lee F. Hamner spoke of 
 what is done for "The Child at Play." Miss Annie Carroll 
 Moore spoke briefly on "Children in the Library," closing 
 an evening's discussion of unusual interest and value. 
 
 By invitation of Senator William Andrews Clark, the 
 members of the Club, on March 13, 1915, from 3 to 6 p.m.,, 
 were given an opportunity to visit his art galleries at his 
 palatial residence on Fifth Avenue. Nearly 300 members 
 availed themselves of the privilege, and enjoyed the rare 
 treat of studying the famous pictures in his collection, as 
 well as the curios in his museum. The Senator was pres- 
 ent in person and took evident pleasure in describing some 
 of his most highly valued art treasures. 
 
 The Club met for its 142d meeting, the thirtieth annual,, 
 at the Washington Irving High School, at 3.30 p.m., 
 May 13, 1915. After a short organ recital by Professor 
 Neidlinger, organist of the school, Mr. Eugene Nowland, 
 Stage Director of the Educational Department of the 
 Edison Studio, gave an address on the "Possibilities of 
 the Moving Picture as an Aid in Education." He showed 
 films illustrating the manufacture of coins at the Phila- 
 delphia mint, and pictures of pond life magnified some 
 millions of times. These were followed by "The Boston 
 Tea Party." The annual election of officers then took 
 place. 
 
 In finishing this historical sketch of the second fifteen 
 year period of the New York Library Club, in the thirty- 
 first year of its activities and the sixty-first since his 
 own entrance upon library work, the writer wishes to 
 record his profound thankfulness that it has been his 
 
 46 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH 
 
 great privilege to live as a contemporary of the growth 
 and development of the Library Movement in our country. 
 Born in the year in which Mr. Astor drafted the will by 
 which he founded the Astor Library, begininng library 
 work the same year that Mr. Jewett became Librarian 
 of the Boston Public Library, studying and working at 
 Harvard College four years under the tutelage of Sibley 
 and Ezra Abbot, then just appointed Librarian and Assist- 
 ant Librarian, respectively, it has been his great good 
 fortune in succeeding years to know well many, and to 
 work with several of the master leaders who have raised 
 librarianship to its recognized high position among the 
 learned professions. Winsor, Cutter, Saunders, Poole, 
 Van Name, Spofford, Fiske, Noyes, Larned, Crunden, 
 Baker, Edmands, Thomson, Canfield, Billings, Miss James, 
 Miss Plummer are names of well-known masters of our 
 craft who have passed beyond our ken.
