LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
The Renrend F. S. Luther, LL.D., President, Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut.
Sir: -In accordance with the Statutes, I beg to submit this, my econd annual report on the Library, for the year ending May JI, I9II. During the college year the Library was open the same hours as for the past four years, i. e. week days from 8 :45-I2 :45, I :45-4:45, 7:30-10, excepting Wednesday even ings and Saturday afternoons and evenings; it was open Sunday evenings from 7:30-10 o'clock. Experience show~ that these hours meet, very fairly, the need of the College. The Librarian believes, however, that the use would war rant the opening of the Library between the hours of I2 :45 and I :45 and some portion of the day during the Christmas and Easter Recesses. It is hoped that this can be arranged the coming year. From August I9-3I of the past year the Library was open week day mornings, during the con ferences of the Chinese Students' Christian Association in North America and the Chinese Students' Alliance of the Eastern States of the United States. For the latter body books and magazines were brought together upon the sub ject that was debated at one of their sessions, i. e. Resolved, "That China should summon a national assembly before I9I7." Although the future historian of the College would find no special event or unusual gift to the Library such as to make the year worthy of particular mention, the statistics of attendance and the necessity of additional tables and chairs indicate the steady and consistent increase 20 TRINITY COLLEGE in the use of the Library by the college body. The accumu lation of many books is not the only function of a library. An important and perhaps its best service is to have for ready use the material on its shelves. This increase in the use of the library has been deemed worthy of comment in the Librarian's reports for the past three years. In his ninth annual report for the year 1907-1908, Mr. Carlton writes, "The surprising event of the year was the very great increase in the use of the Library." The attendance was 3,645 more than the previous year. In Mr. Carlton's report for 1908-9, we read, "The attendance again shows a considerable increase over the preceding year this increase is not spasmodic or due to unusual causes . . . ." Last year your Librarian reported that the statistics showed a healthy and gratifying increase. In the annual summary of attendance, in one of the following tables, the increase from 5,517 in 1906--7 to 13,112 in the present year may be noted. In the report for 1907-8, Mr. Carlton makes inter esting comment upon the causes of this increase. They may be summarized briefly as follows : First, more faith ful study on the part of the students; second, the " renais sance" in recent years in the matter of general reading, encouraged by the methods of instruction in the classroom and by the freedom of access to the books on the shelves; third, the quiet, studious atmosphere offered by the Library. It is a matter of congratulation that the "library habit" is thus becoming a tradition among our students. The follow ing quotation, from Burton's Anail:omy of Melancholy shows the possible influence of a library. It would be equally ap plicable to the influence of the College as a whole. " I never come into a library (saith Heinsius) but I bolt the door to me, excluding lust, ambition, avarice, and all such vices whose nurse is idleness, the mother of ignorance and melan choly herself; and in the very lap of eternity, among so many divine souls, I take my seat with so· lofty a spirit and sweet content that I pity all our great ones and rich men that know not their happiness." 22 TRINITY COLLEGE
The increase in the number of volumes purchased, over the two preceding years, was made possible by the larger m come temporarily received from tlhe Northam Fund. It was found possible to meet practically all of the re quests of the several Departments of Instruction and to take advantage of opportunities to complete important sets and obtain good editions of authors needed. Nine volumes were purchased from the library of the late Professor Thomas Day Seymour, including seven volumes of the Transactions of the American Philological Association needed to complete the set in the Library. The titles of other important purchases follow :

A complete list of donors will be found in the appendixes. Among the gifts of particular value and use to the Library were several sets of periodicals. It is a pleasure to record the following : From Professor R. B. Riggs a complete bound set of the Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft, 1868-1910. The great value of this important chemical journal will be readily recognized. To have purchased it with the book funds of the Library would have meant t In add~tion to its own valuable publications, the Smith sonian Institution gave the Library the I I volumes of the Harriman Alaska Expedition, the most important scientific work upon that region that has been published. From the Rev. William H. Vibbert, D.D. (T.C., I888), was received a copy of Rosin us: Antiquitatum Romanorum. [Ed.] T . Dempster, I64o. A valuable and unique acquisition was that of two rolls contMning a copy of a rubbing of the N estorian Monument. These were presented by Rev. Professor J . J. McCook, '63. Mr. John Curtis Underwood, '96, gave a copy of his book of poems, "The Iron Muse." He also gave a percentage of the receipts, during a limited period, received from the sale of the work to Trinity men. Mr. E. F. Waterman, '98, met the expense of framing a photograph of the Library taken during the fire in May, I907· In July the Library reccived a valuable collection of sacred music from Mr. Louis W. Downes, T.C., 1888, which he had selected from the library of his father, the late Mr. Louis T. Downes, T.C., 1848. It consists of 98 bound volumes and 765 pieces, of which 47 volumes and 139 pieces are for the organ and 51 volumes and 626 pieces for the voice. The letter, in regard to the gift, that follows, is a pleasant indica tion of the interest of the alumni in the Library and brings to mind the gi£t made last year by Mr. John M. Brainard, '84, from the library of his father, Rev. John Brainard, D.D., '51. It is through such interest on the part of the alumni that the Library owes the larger part of its collection. Providence, R. 1., July I, 1910. President Flavel S. Luther, Trinity College, Hartford, Conn. Dear Dr. Luther: Shortly before his death, my father expressed a wish that some of his organ music should go to the College. In endeavoring to settle up his affairs, I have been over this and find that a vast quantity of it would be of little or UBRARIAN'S REPORT no benefit to the College. There is, however, a certain amount that I thought might be of use to musically inclined students or those in charge of the chapel services, and if agreeable to you, I will have this sent forward. Kindly let me know if such a gift would be acceptable or of value to the College. Yours very truly, L. W. DowNEs. The Library is fortunate in receiving regularly the publications of the U nited States Government, the State of Connecticut, the New York State Education Department, the Smithsonian and Carnegie Institutions. The publica tions of the latter, the Carnegie Institution, amounting to more than 150 volumes since its foundation in 1902, are contributions to knowledge of the very highest value, and the Library is to be congratulated upon possessing a com plete set. Other publications of value that the Library re ceives regularly are noted below. When no donor is given it is to be understood that they are the gift of the society or association publishing them.

An increase in the purchases of above two hundred volumes over the number purchased either of the two preceding years has required more time, both in looking up and send ing out the orders and in the necessary consultation with the members of the Faculty in regard to such orders. The statistics of attendance show an increase in the use of the Library, by members of the Faculty, of 288 over the pre vious year (from 868 to 1,156). This is pertinent to the above statement. The necessity of properly taking up this matter of cataloguing has been emphasized in all the recent reports of the Library and need not be repeated here. A strong argument by John Fiske in favor of minute cata loguing and classification may well be quoted, " little details do not minister to grand or striking generalizations, though their destiny is in the main an ob scure one, yet if they were not duly taken care of, the use fulness of libraries as aids to higher culture and profound investigation would be fatally impaired." That "our arrears in this important matter may not make trouble for us in the future and remain a constant element of annoyance," I would recommend that there be a regular appropriation of $soo.oo for cataloguing. ASSISTANTS. The student assistants during the year were Messrs. C. E. Sherman, 'II, H. N. C. Christie, 'II, Reginald Bur bank, 'II, W . A. Bird, IV, '12, S. H. Evison, '12. Mr. Sherman is planning to go into library work and enters the New York State Library School in September. For the past two years, with this purpose in mind, Mr. Sherman has taken intelligent and live interest in all the work of the LIBRARIAN'S REPORT 27 Library. During the past year he has been the chief assist ant and has shown an aptitude for the work that speaks well for his future success. All the assistants rendered satisfactory service. The Library has continued to use to advantage the in telligent and prompt services of the assistants in the Treas urer's Office. CONCLUSION. It is the opinion of the Librarian that an important and proper policy has been established the past year in the transferring to the general library the various Department collections, to be duly accessioned and catalogued. This makes available to the entire college body over 400 volumes, chiefly in the field of Natural History, that have heretofore been unrecorded in the general library. This will in no way prevent the Departments from having on deposit for a term or for an entire coHege year, if needed, any of these, or within reason, any other volumes of the library. The title of every book purchased with college funds should be noted in the catalogue of the general library. The Librarian has found that the members of the Faculty, without exception, agree with this policy. The crowded condition of the Library has been aggra vated, naturally, by this increase, and it has been found necessary to put a number of the sets of periodicals in double rows on the shelves, one row behind the other. This, at best, is unsatisfactory, and tends to the disorder of the sets. If the Library cannot provide proper space and shelv ing for the books it is not at all unlikely that some of the Departments will soon desire to have the books back ~n their own care, and the opportunity lost to adopt a policy agreed by all to be the wisest. With the exception of the Document room, where a little space for new shelving remains, all available library space has been shelved and the shelving filled to overflowing. Thoreau, in "Walden," writes that " Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of TRINITY COLLEGE generations and nations." Certainly the books in the Li brary are the most valuable tangible inheritance of the Col lege and should be cherished and safeguarded. The recent destruction of the collection of the New York State Library has made all those who are responsible for the proper care of libraries alive to their duty. This Library was most fortunately saved from serious loss, by the fire of a few years past, by the intelligent promptness of the authorities and students. During the past year a blaze in the entry over the stack was serious enough to make it necessary to move several cases in the Library, to save the books from the water that was used in putting out the fire. Until the Li brary is housed in a separate fireproof building, there will be this ever present danger. In the report for I9<>5-6, Mr. Carlton, in an able review of the needs of the Library, writes that "three things , a larger endowment, a Library building, and an increased working force, are what we must expect to con front us as necessities within the next five years." The present report can but prove the truth of this statement. All of which is respectfully submitted, WALTER BENJAMIN BRIGGS, Librarian. June I, 19II. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT APPENDIX I.
