~ From the Library of Paul Rand

The legacy and career of the late Paul Rand (I9I4- 1996), one of America's pioneering graphic designers, is reflected in the rich collection of materials recently given to the Yale Li brary by his widow, Marion Rand. They join a growing collection of papers and records maintained by Sterling Memorial Library's Manuscripts and Archives Department documenti ng the evolution and in fl uence of the arts at Yale. The Paul Rand papers incl ude a complete set of Rand's work documented through publications, book covers, posters, advertisements, trademarks, prod­ uct packaging, children's books, and two large billboard advertisements. In addition ro these finished works, the papers include Rand's "job bags," containing the draw­ ings, sketches, and experiments that trace the develop­ ment of each project. Rand's correspondence wi th ~is colleagues, students, and clients, and his design resource and photograph files will provide insights into his devel­ opment of visual expressions that are an integral and insta ntly recognizable part of American culture. In addition to the designer's personal papers, Marion Rand has generously donated more than 100 books from her late husband's personal library to the Arts Library and more than 200 publications to the Arts of the Book Collection in Sterling Memorial Li brary. Of the books donated to the Arts Library, many deal with color and color theory and will significantly enrich that libraty's From the Paul Rand Papers in the Manuscripts and Archives sttong holdings in this field.

With this new-found space, staff could begin returning books to their proper locations on shelves. Over the summer, they shifted some 750,000 volumes from over fifty book trucks and eliminated many overflow shelves. Access Services reintroduced systematic shelf reading in the stacks. Starting where books were removed to LSF, staff "read the shelves," verifying that books are in their proper order. To date, close to one half million volumes have been "read."

Founded in in 1792 by John Wells, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft started as a one· person law firm serving the needs of a la rgely agrarian nation. In 1818, Wells formed a partnership with George Washington Strong, a prominent member of New York society and an 1803 graduate of Yale Coll ege. After the deaths of Wells (1823) and Strong (1855), descendants of Strong and others continued the firm. By 1878, Charles Strong headed the firm, representing the leading busi ness, social, and cultural orga nizations of the day. That same yea r, John L. Cadwalader, a for mer assistant Secretary of State, joined Strong, catapulting Strong & Cadwalader into the elite ranks of firms re presenting major corporatio ns. George W. Wickersham, an anti·trust expert, joined Cadwalader in 1883, while Henry W. Taft joined in 1889. The firm officially became known as Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft in 191 4. Today, Cadwalader has over 400 attorneys with offices in New York, Charlon e, Washington, D. C. and London. -NFL Yale University Library Non-Profit Organization '30 Wall Stteet U.S. Postage Paid P.O.
