Draper Commissioner of Education DEAR SIR: I have the honor to present herewith and to recommend for publication, a third edition of the register or general catalog of the New York State Library School. The former editions were issued when the school was ten and fifteen years old. This year it will celebrate, at the dedication of the Education Building, its first quarter-centenary, at which occasion it is purposed to publish this new roster of its former students with their professional records. Approved for publication this 12th day of July 1912 Augusture S. Downing Acting Commissioner of Education Published fortnightly by the University of the State of New York Entered as second-class matter June 24, 1908, at the Post Office at Albany, N. Y., under the act of July 16, 1894 This register continues the series which has appeared at irregular intervals since the opening of the school on January 5, 1887 under the name of the Columbia College School of Library Economy. Annual registers were issued in 1887 and 1888. The Library School Register, 1887-96, covering the first ten years of the school appeared in 1898 and the second register, covering 1887-1901, appeared in 1902. The present register covers the period from January 5, 1887 to December 31, 1911. Notices of positions obtained later than December 31, 1911 which came to the notice of the school while the compilation of the register was in progress have been included to make the record as nearly up to date as possible. These later positions are not included in any of the statistics on pages 103-4. In nearly every case the information was received directly from the former students themselves and their desires in the description of positions held have been followed. In the few cases in which no later information was obtainable the entries of the old register were retained. Notices of any errors or omissions will be gratefully received. The general plan of the 1887-1901 register has been followed but some important changes have been made. Membership in library associations and appointments to committee membership in such associations have been omitted to save space though elective offices are included whenever reported. Some material, primarily historic in character, has been omitted and will appear in modified form in a pamphlet, now in preparation, which will be devoted to the history of the first quarter-century of the school. Manuscript records bringing the register to date are kept at the school, and all students are asked to help keep this record as complete and accurate as possible. A list of new positions for the fiscal year ending September 30th is published in each annual report. This list includes all changes of positions of which the school receives information in any way. Current notes of changes of position are sent regularly to the Library Journal and Public Libraries. A list of colleges from which students have received degrees has been prepared. Though primarily useful to the school itself, it may prove interesting and helpful to persons interested in the edu cational preparation of librarians, and it shows conclusively the representative character of the student body at all periods of the school's history. Detailed accounts of the work of the school will be found in the annual reports of the school and in its annual circulars of information. Most of the compilation and verification of the individual records has been done by Miss Edna M. Sanderson ('01) registrar of the school and Miss Lida C. Vasbinder ('11). |
