EDITED BY JOHN DOBSON Twenty-seeond Report

The University of Tennessee Record (ISSN 0162-3996) Volume 85, Issue No.4, September 1982. Published monthly except February, April, May, June, August, October, and December by The Universiy of Tennessee 37996 Second class postage paid at Knoxville, Tennessee The University of Tennessee, Knoxville EOl-6010-001-83 We have found, during our relatively brief association with The University of Tennessee Library in Knoxville, that the prevailing characteristic of libraries, particularly those that must depend on public assistance, is "struggle." A library's lot seems to be a never-ending upward climb against persistent odds. One comes to realize that the information a library collects and holds for use grows and changes day by day, keeping the struggle going day by day. We have been told that our library here has a long history of frustration and struggle, doubtless beginning long before the day in 1827 when East Tennessee College (Blount College from 1794 until 1807) was promised a library ". . . but, in the meantime, the private library of one of the professors [will] serve as a substitute." Twenty-six years later, East Tennessee University (since 1840) received its first appropriation for library books, the sum of $100. A federal land grant in 1869 legally obligated the city of Knoxville to supply funds for a library, but the University of Tennessee (since March 10, 1879) had to take "legal action" before collecting $20,000 in 1881. Five thousand of this was earmarked for a library building, but it took Carnegie funds to accomplish this in 1910. (The structure could have been a reality five years earlier; the state needed that much time to raise matching funds.) So, 116 years after its founding, The University of Tennessee had a library in its own library bUilding. Today, that library, in its four campus locations, continues to struggle, perhaps more needful of support than ever before, if one stops to consider the shockingly inflated costs of library materials. A research library such as ours needs distinguished collections-rare books, historical collections, manuscripts, source materials-as well as a rich foundation of basics. And in times like these, the distinguished must defer to the fundamentals. The Library Development Program, established in 1959, remains a convenient and effective method for the enrichment of library growth. Donors may proceed at their own pace and follow their own interests. They may make gifts of cash, securities, books, manuscripts, memorabilia, rarities; gifts in tribute and in memory; endowments restricted to particular areas of interest, or free funds for immediate open spending. Whatever, the donor will know the gifts are gratefully accepted, that they are welcome and important ammunition for the unending battle. The procedure is simple, and the rewards are pleasing.

4 er The Last Interview? A curious typescript signed by Andrew J. Kellar and dated Hot Springs, ;, S. D., June 1891, has come into the library's possession. The four-page paper is entitled "The Last Interview with Ex­ President Johnson." The background of the alleged interview is unknown and authenticity of the account is unverified, but it is an interesting document in content. ,., The typescript relates leading questions Ie posed by the writer and records detailed and sometimes lengthy quotes attributed to Johnson. !n The paper begins, "The night before the day, when Ex-President Johnson was :e. elected United States Senator in 1874, I was in his room at the Maxwell House, Nashville, Tennessee. The room is number 4 and is known as Johnson's room to this day. The Ex-President and I were the only In persons in the room, Judge E. H.

The above quotations serve adequately to show the flavor of the evening's conversation and perhaps to create a curiosity about the content of the remaining part of the typescript. At any rate, whether or not the Kellar interview is authentic, it is another piece of evidence in the collection of material relating to Andrew Johnson. It enhances the pieces known to be genuine Johnson items and lends color to the total collection. Andrew Johnson died on July 31, 1875. He was the first Ex-President to be returned to the Senate. The leadership position he assumed in the Senate was the chance he longed for to vindicate his own and Lincoln's cause. Perhaps had he lived longer, full vindication would have led him again toward the White House. Was the talk with Kellar his last interview? Considering the expanse of time between his election and his death, it seems unlikely.

Included with correspondence placed in the collection earlier is a file of letters from Knoxville poet Jane Merchant. May Justus has been quoted as saying: "I am a Smoky Mountaineer, born and bred and proud of it. It is the mountain folklore which I have tried to present in all my books. The mountain culture of the past is fading from the memory of those who live in these modern days. The old customs, the folk speech, the ballads, the fiddle tunes, the play party singing games, the herb lore, the weather signs, the nonsense rhymes, the tall tales, even the riddles-you'll find them all in the books I've written for a quarter of a century."

Congreve. So complete is the collection that a missing title is almost never seen. It was great good fortune, then, when a New York rare bookman recently offered UT a Congreve piece "not listed in The John C. Hodges Collection of William Congreve, A Bibliographical Catalog" (the catalog was published as the library's Occasional Publication, number one, in 1970). A telephone call to New York reserved the Congreve piece, and it was purchased on behalf of Mrs. Hodges as a gift volume to honor Olive Branch. Both Miss Branch and Mrs. Hodges seemed to be pleased with the choice. The volume, to be placed in the Congreve collection, is Tales and Novels in Verse, from the French of LaFontaine, by several hands, adorned with cuts, published in London in 1735. One of the several hands referred to on the title page is William Congreve. LaFontaine's "La Chose Impossible" and "Le Villageois que Cherche Son Veau" are the selections rendered into English by Congreve. The Congreve versions of LaFontaine's fables, titled in English "The Impossible Thing" and 'The Lout Looking for His Heifer," are not absolute translations. This is ... pOinted out in the dedication addressed to Sir Richard Steele. The dramatist wrote:

"To thee, Dear Dick, this Tale I send, Both as a Critic and a Friend; I tell it with some Variation (Not altogether a Translation) From La Fontaine; an Author, Dick, Whose Muse would touch Thee to the quick. The Subject is of that same Kind, To which thy Heart seems most inclin'd: How Verse may alter it, God knows, Thou lov'st it well, I'm sure, in Prose. So, without Preface, or Pretence, To hold thee longer in Suspence, I shall proceed, as I am able, To the Recital of my Fable. 11 Schools, the National Education 1971 to 1978 he served on the library's Association, and the American Association Special Collections Advisory Committee. of Higher Education.
