2 FROm THE DiRECTOR

Our annual report showcases another banner year at Rare Book School. Once again, this was one for the record books, with new highs in course applications and enrollments, in satellite offerings and social media uptake, in annual-fund giving and scholarships awarded. Thanks to the generosity of our friends, the skillful teaching of our superlative faculty, the dedication of our students, and the great labors of the RBS staff, we continue to grow as the international center of excellence in bibliographical and book-historical education.

Yet, even as we mark our progress, our sense of urgency is great. Education of the kind that our School provides is absolutely essential for the thoughtful curation and communication of our documentary heritage to future generations. At stake is the long-term efficacy of special-collections stewardship—and, hence, of primary- source scholarship—both of which are inextricably linked to the educational Michael F. Suarez, S.J. mission of Rare Book School.

As we seek to provide for our long-term future, I am mindful of a story told in Oxford more than 30 years ago. In the late nineteenth century, college officials learned with dismay that the old oak roof in the enormous Great Hall urgently needed replacing. (If it helps, think Hogwarts.) Where would they source the vast amount of timber needed? How would they meet the prodigious cost? To their great relief, they soon discovered that all would be well. Some two hundred years earlier, their predecessors had made wise provision for the future, planting on college lands in Gloucestershire thousands of seedlings that were now a towering oak forest. This visionary investment meant that there would be money and materials ready to hand.

I like to think this story is true. I can easily imagine that, after replacing the old roof, those college officials replanted the land for their successors too. What I am certain of is that we must make a visionary investment for our School, planting a forest in our day that will provide shelter and support in the years to come.

With gratitude,

Michael F. Suarez, S.j. Director

Andrew W. mellon Fellowship of Scholars in Critical Bibliography . . . The Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship of Scholars in Critical Bibliography was established in 2012 through funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The aim of the fellowship program is to reinvigorate bibliographical studies within the humanities by introducing junior scholars to specialized skills, methods, and professional networks that will inform and enrich their research and teaching with material texts. . . . “I look at an object and I see it In 2015 Rare Book School welcomed the third cohort of RBS-Mellon Fellows; these through my disciplinary lens, twenty scholars joined the forty fellows selected in 2013 and 2014.

That is are targeted visits to metropolitan areas which provide fellows the opportunity to meet with leading curators, private collectors, antiquarian booksellers, and completely revelatory, and I wish conservators.

5 imLS-RBS Fellowship for Early-Career Librarians A grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Service (IMLS) enabled Rare Book School to select the first twenty recipients of the IMLS-RBS Fellowship for Early-Career Librarians in 2015. The program is designed to help educate and foster the professional development of early-career special collections librarians, with a particular emphasis on recruiting participants from groups currently underrepresented in the field. Fellowship recipients receive “The IMLS-RBS Fellowship funding to attend an RBS course and to increase their professional involvement has been a phenomenal, at the national level through participation in the conference of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) of the Association of College and Research transformative experience for Libraries (ACRL), a division of the American Library Association. me, both professionally and In 2015, the twenty IMLS-RBS Fellows attended the RBMS conference in Oakland, California, and took a Rare Book School course.

Mitchell that directly informs a long-term academic project (e.g., a thesis, scholarly article, 2015 IMLS-RBS Fellow or public exhibit). Seven fellowships are awarded each academic year to students from across the University community: the 2014–15 fellows were drawn from the departments of Spanish, English, history, and religious studies.

The Betsy and Stuart Houston Prize is awarded for the most distinguished project submitted at the end of the year-long fellowship. In 2015 this award went to Christina Kilby for her paper “The Past Lives of Tibetan Letters: Tracing the Transformation from Manuscript to Woodblock Print in Several Eighteenth-Century Tibetan Letter Collections.” Honorable Mention was awarded to Ethan Reed for his project, “Reading Books by Their Covers: Dos Passos’ U.S.A. , Design Features, and Histories of Literary Reception.”

FiNANCiAL ASSETS & ACTiViTiES October 2014 – September 2015

Rare Book School enjoyed a very successful 2015 fiscal year, with operating revenues in excess of expenses by a healthy margin. This surplus is the result of generous contributions from individual donors and foundations, as well as increased tuition income from expanded course offerings at satellite locations. As in past years, RBS was able to put much of its financial surplus back into scholarships for students of all backgrounds, as well as into a contingency fund. Several years ago, RBS Director Michael Suarez insisted that we allocate monies annually into this contingency fund, which is meant to function as a kind of interruption-of-business insurance, and the RBS Board has warmly endorsed this plan as a prudent provision for the future.

The School’s financial success in 2015 was not new. Under Michael’s leadership, Rare Book School has run a surplus six years in a row. As Director of Budget & Finance, I have watched as enrollments have increased each year, annual giving has steadily climbed, foundations have funded many significant grant projects, and our investments have performed as well as could be expected or even better than our benchmarks. Over the same period, we have built robust financial infrastructures, streamlined our budgeting processes, and have received clean, unqualified reports from our external auditors in their annual review of our operations.

According to Charity Watch, the most highly efficient and top-ranked non-profits devote 75% or more of their spending to programs; as you can see from the accompanying charts, 84% of Rare Book School’s expenditures went directly to our educational programs. The School’s exceptional performance indicates that it is not only financially healthy, but that its priorities are sound and donor dollars are being directed with judicious care.

I would be happy to share the School’s 990 Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax form, or to supply copies of our audited financials, with anyone who would like to review them. With the help of our generous donors, the finances of our School are in excellent shape.

On behalf of the School and its Board of Directors, thank you for your ongoing support of our programs.

Sincerely,

Danielle Culpepper Director of Budget & Finance
