In the seven years of its existence the Atlanta University School of Li¬ brary Service has turned out 130 graduates who are serving in college, public school, and special libraries in 23 states, the District of Columbia, and in Japan. Approximately 50 per cent of the graduates are employed in college and university libraries, 25 per cent are in public libraries, and about 20 per cent are in school libra¬ ries. The remaining 5 per cent in¬ cludes special librarians, teachers of library service, and a state supervisor of public libraries. In 1946 the School began to offer work toward the B. L. S. degree (Bachelor of Library Service) in the summer sessions thus offering an op¬ portunity for well-qualified in-service Mrs. Georgia Casley, ’47 Miss Jeanne M.

THEY WENT TO ATLANTA UNIVERSITY

Atlanta l niversity takes pride in the records of its alumni and in their service and achievement. Two thousand seven hundred and seventy-two men and women who have been graduated. and many others who have attended but did not graduate, embrace a variety of professions and careers from art in its many forms to the highest positions in education. Some graduates like James Weldon Johnson. Richard R. Wright, and Henry Hunt are nationally and internationally known. But there is another group whose records of achievement are not as well known as those mentioned. Therefore, beginning with this issue, the Bulletin will publish the achieve¬ ments of alumni who may be placed in the second category; not second in rank, but second in the sense that their outstanding contributions are not as well known. The Bulletin invites suggestions from its readers.
