Total I I I I 3 2 2 I 5 25 POSITIONS During the period from January 5, 1887 to December 31, 1914, a total of 2131 positions held by students of the school is recorded. 825 of these were in New York State-by far the largest number filled in any one state. Next in order by number of positions held are Massachusetts with 215, Pennsylvania with 144, the District of Columbia with 110 and Illinois with 106. In all, 39 states are represented. 20 positions have been filled in 6 foreign countries. It is significant that several of the states not on the list are states in which library work has not yet excited much public interest or received adequate public support. The positions held include libraries of all sizes and character. 40 of the 50 cities of the United States with a population of 100,000 or over are on the list. In 13 of them, former students are, or have been chief librarians. 24 of them are at present at the head of libraries in cities of from 25,000 to 100,000 population. On the other hand, as secretaries or field workers in 14 state library commissions and as organizers or librarians of very small libraries, the school, through its students, has influenced library work in its simplest forms. Students have served on the staff of nearly 50 colleges and universities and have been librarians of more than 30. Many special libraries, governmental and others are among the institutions represented. In its own particular field, that of instruction in library methods, the school numbers on its rolls, the heads, past and present, of 8 library schools and it is or has been represented on the faculty of II of the 12 regular schools. 640 students have matriculated. Of these 501 have been women and 139 men. 31 of these (25 women and 6 men) have died. Including as no longer in library work several cases in which the school has no information to the contrary, only 161 women (including 74 who have married) and 37 men of the 611 regular students still living who have attended the school, even for a short period, are not in library work at the date of this writing. Any professional school which, at the end of a quartercentury can show that 68 per cent of all the women and 73 per cent of all the men whom it has trained are still in the line of work for which they were trained must, to show such results, train for a profession which has many inherent attractions. Were the rather considerable number of both men and women who are allied to library work as library trustees, editors and occasional library workers or who, from illness or for family reasons, are only temporarily out of the work to be included, the percentage would be perceptibly increased. Thirteen summer sessions have been held, beginning with July 1896 and ending with the session of June 1-July 13, 1910. The session of 1906 was omitted on account of the resignation of Mrs Fairchild, while the destruction of the State Library in 1911 and the delay in finishing the State Education Building prevented any summer courses in the summers of 1911 and 1912. As the six weeks' summer course is intended to be of service only to actual library workers who, for good reasons, can not take a more extended course of training, and as there are practically no entrance requirements, the residences, positions and other professional information about summer students have not been included in the summaries and statistics of the main list. Three states, not on the list of those from which students in the regular course have come: (Alabama, Georgia and Virginia) have been represented in the summer school. In all, there have been 301 different students in the summer courses. Ten of these have been in attendance at more than one session and 4 have afterward matriculated as students in the regular course. A list of the summer students with their addresses and positions at the time they attended the school is given below.
