    BOOKS AT BROWN VOL. I, NO. 2. Ifilillii SEPTEMBER, I938 PUBLISHED BY THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY OF BROWN UNIVERSITY JOHN HAY On the 8th day of October in the year 1838, John Hay was born in the pioneer town of Salem, Indiana. His mother, born in Assonet, Massachusetts, in 1803, was a Leonard and his maternal grandfather, David Augustus Leonard, had attended Brown Uni­ versity (then Rhode Island College) in the Class of 1792. This New England connection drew the youth, John Milton Hay, when of college age, to Brown. His subsequent career has placed him in the very highest esteem among the University's alumni. During October, from the 24th through the 30th, there will be an exhibition of John Hay memorabilia in the Harris Room of the Library. On the evening of October 26th the Friends of the Li­ brary will hold their October meeting in the Harris Room at eight o'clock and members will have an opportunity to view the exhibit. The exhibition will include examples of Hay's published and private works, autograph letters, pictures, and his college records. Early letters of Hay are extremely rare as most of them were addressed to his family and were subsequently destroyed. During the brief interval between his graduation from Brown and his departure for Washington to become Lincoln's private secretary, he suffered from, or perhaps we should say, indulged in, "Leonard Melancholy." This period it is hoped will be repre­ sented by copy No. 1 of Caroline Tichnor's book, A Poet in Exile, which has the original letters bound in.

  • Universal Penman
    Universal Penman NEWSLETTER OF THE PROVIDENCE ATHENÆUM MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT CANDY ADRIANCE As detailed by Strategic Planning Committee Chair Steve Coon on page 2, the Athenaeum is moving ahead with a strategic planning process designed to consolidate the progress achieved during the implementation of our current Strategic Plan. A critical element of this work was an extensive organizational assessment of the Board of Directors and staff to evaluate our structure and current roles and responsibilities throughout the library. With this assessment complete, we have launched the search for our next Executive Director. Our timing is fortuitous. Conducting the search as we near the finish line for the Strategic Plan, projected to be complete by June 30, 2015, allows us to tie together critical elements of our strategy and direction with the most important characteristics of a new leader. The Search Committee, chaired by Board Members Tripp Evans and Cathy Lund, and comprised of members of the Board and the staff, used our strategic planning work to date as well as best practices of successful RI nonprofit organizations and other membership libraries across the country to identify the leadership requirements that will serve us well for now and into the future. At this exciting time in the library’s history we believe we will attract many strong, well-qualified candidates who share our vision of the Athenaeum as a rich library, cultural center, and gathering place for a great diversity of Rhode Islanders. The job description is now available on our website. The search will extend into the summer, past the date that Interim Executive Director Mike Gerhardt could be available.

    BOOKS AT BROWN VOL. I, NO. I iufSyil JUNE, I938 PUBLISHED BY THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY OF BROWN UNIVERSITY GREETINGS! The organization of the Friends of the Library delights me. No problem in connection with a university is more perennially acute than that of the library. If it does well, one is encouraged to hope that it will do better. If it is not performing its function adequately, one is determined to see that it does so. Thus in bright days one's ambition runs ahead of achievement and in dark days determination grows stronger. Help is therefore necessary at all times and at no point does the reinforcement of active interest bring so much real assistance to the effective discharge of University functions. It is a matter of deep interest not only to the students and the Faculty, to the Corporation and the Alumni, but to the community as well, for the existence of a great library effectively administered is of utmost importance to the public at large. Even though those services are not immediate or perfectly obvious, they are no less important. Therefore we welcome the reinforcement that comes to us in the Friends of the Library. President Henry M. Wriston WHO ARE "THE FRIENDS"? It is good to be a friend and it is good to have friends. A group of "friendly" people has been meeting recently on College Hill. The object of their affection is the Library of Brown University. These friends include Brown men and men from other universities, women as well as men, who are lovers of books and who enjoy helping to stimulate the gifts of books, maps and manuscripts to the Library of Brown University.

Orwig Music Library, the John Hay Library, the Art Slide Library, the Annmary Brown Memorial, and the Library Collections Annex. The library also has administrative responsibility for Media Services which provides technology/equipment support for classrooms and events. The Rockefeller Library serves as the teaching and research library for the humanities and social sciences; it also houses the administrative offices, the Center for Digital Initiatives, and the centralized technical services. The Sciences Library provides an integrated collection for the physical, biological, and medical sciences. The Susan P. and Richard A. Friedman Study Center is located on the lower levels of the Sciences Library. The Virginia M. Orwig Music Library consolidates all of Brown's music materials. The John Hay Library is the location for most of the University’s rare books, manuscripts, special collections, and archives. Information about all of the libraries is available at http://dl.lib.brown.edu/libweb/about/index.php. The John Carter Brown Library, an independent research institution which is not affiliated with the University Library, specializes in the field of early Americana. The chief operational officer of the Brown University Library is the Joukowsky Family University Librarian (x3-2162), who reports directly to the Provost.
