A Letter to the Friends Dear Friends,

It is a pleasure to inform you that the Center tor Salomon Bochner Papers Scholarship and Information, located in Fondren Library, Michael F. Frv will be open in the fall of 1988. A joint project of the li- brary, the Department of English, and the Institute for

Computer Services and Applications, and funded in part Behind the Scenes at Fondren Library by the Friends of Fondren Library, the CSI is a computer- Signer F. Schou equipped classroom and laboratory facility that is intended to link students' intellectual development with the increasingly vast and sophisticated array of information Friends of Academic Libraries in Texas resources presently available. Survey Results For some years now, there has been a growing concern on college campuses that computer literacy is being pur- 10 sued to the dernment of the traditional skills of reading The Dedication of the Martha W. and writing. Educators have felt that computers, with the and H. Malcolm Lovett Lounge proper application, could contribute to the development of those skills feared to be in decline. It was with this pur- pose in mind that the Center for Scholarship and Informa- Donors to the Friends of Fondren's tion was conceived and established.

As important as the acquisition of

"facts" will be the building of an intellectual foundation 13 that consists, in part, of the ability to solve problems and to Gifts to the Fondren Library apply concepts. We expect the CSI to provide this kind of independent, complementary learning experience.

Occupying the former Office of Continuing Studies, Preview of the Twenty- Fifth Annual the CSI will include a classroom for regular course use and Student Art Show tutorials, as well as a public-use area for independent research and scholarship. It will be supplied with com- puters, printers, and assorted audiovisual equipment. We are proud to note that some of the Center's hardware and software were purchased with funds generously provided by the Friends of Fondren Library.

We invite the Friends to stop by the CSI for a visit. We think you'll be pleased with how your resources have been

In all, the collection consists of 5,320 items that occupy fifty-two cubic feet and span the period from 1914 to 1982.

Bochner was bom in 1899 in the small town of

Podgorzu, Austria-Hungary, now in Poland, and died in

Houston in 1982. His early education included grammar school and attendance at the Academia w Krakowie. In 1915 he moved to Berlin, where he attended the Konigstadtisch Oberrealschule until he was conscripted into the Austro-Hunganan army in May 1917. While in the army Bochner received medical training at a military school near Vienna and eventually reached the tank of corporal in the medical corps. He was stationed at a military hospital until November 1918. Soon thereaftet he matriculated at the University of Berlin, where he studied mathematics and was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1921.

Directly after receiving his doctorate, Bochner was Bocfincr m his early twenties (from a German document) employed as a volunteet in the Cuten and Syman Banking

mathematics in its own phase, the sudden emergence of

analysis in the late Renaissance, and a subtle but very tan-

gible change of style in mathematics during the transition

from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century. The Role of

Mathematics m the Rise of Science, perhaps his most famous book, was published in 1966 and soon thereafter trans-

lated into many languages. Indeed, a large proportion of

the collection's working papers deal with the history of

science.

The major classifications of the collection are Corre- spondence, 1924-82; Scholarly Works, 1923-82; Teaching Matenals and Notebooks, 1917-79; Personal Documenta- tion, 1914-81; and Printed Material, 1925-79. Roughly

halt of the collection consists of the first two series. They correspond with each other chronologically in that the bulk of the material in both falls between 1968 and 1981, the years Bochner spent at Rice University. Correspondence contains valuable research matenal.

Some of the works found here, moreover, were history of science. never published; the handwritten notes to lectures, articles

and books that were started but never finished, and a

major book that was near completion at Bochner's death. The other sections of the collection contain fewer and

historically less significant materials, but provide nonethe-

less a more personal glimpse of the man. Of interest to some may be the teaching materials Bochner collected

during his long career as a professor at Munich, Princeton, and Rice, and the numerous notebooks he kept

throughout his life. His notebooks contain language dnlls,

poetry, short diary entries, and advanced mathematical

notations. The legal and financial papers provide early

biographical data regarding Bochner's education in Poland and Germany, his citizenship, his military service during

World War I, and his financial dealings with publishers such as Princeton University Press. The twenty-seven photographs in the collection are mostly snapshots of

Bochner with unidentified colleagues and family in Munich, Pnnceton, Houston, Los Angeles, and Bombay.

Data Base Management, headed by Elizabeth Baber, is responsible for authority control, maintenance, and quality control of the online system. Since the manual card cataloging system was discontinued two years ago, the LI- BRIS data base serves the preeminent function of maintain- ing the listings of the entire collection. Authority control requires that all entries for specific names, titles, and sub- jects be consistent throughout the catalog; it also provides cross references from variant forms of names, titles, and subjects. In the areas of maintenance and quality control, it is Baber's duty to handle problems, such as errors or duplicates, that occur in the system.

After receiving a in bachelor's degree psychology from Left to right: Elizabeth Baber, Lunla Keating, and Rose Rice, Baber continued her studies at the University of Mane Handle California at Berkeley, where she was awarded a master's degTee in library science.

Acquisitions, also part ot Processing Services, is the starting point tor all materials brought into the library.

Rose Marie Randle supervises this multifaceted depart-

ment, which assists in developing collections. When

materials are requested by librarians in the many fields rep-

resented in Fondren, the orders are filled through

Acquisitions. A large number ot items are received under an approval plan, and those not needed are returned.

As soon as an item is approved and the bibliographic information forwarded to Cataloging, Acquisitions must

supervise its preparation tor the shelves. Some soffcover books are sent to the Hernberg Company for binding;

repairs are done in the basement of Fondren. Finally, all materials go to the marking table where they receive
