he 1991-92 year can be characterized as a year of budget retrenchment, which placed an even greater importance on private support than in the past. T We began the year adjusting to a thirteen percent decrease in our budget, which affected all areas of the University Libraries. To cope, we eliminated some journal subscriptions, curtailed some of OUF approval plans (agreements with vendors to send us important scholarly works automatically), shifted library hours, and placed more demands on library staff. Outcries of protest from students and facu~ty resulted in the restoration of some funds, eliminating the need for even more drastic cuts. We fared the belt-tightening well and are now looking forward to 1992-93 with an eight percent budget increase and a $300,000 one-time allocation to help us regain the footing lost last year. We are fortunate that the community and the campus rallied around our cause. The income from The Tennessee Imperative campaign made possible a quarter-million dollars in book purchases. From the Men's Athletics Department, we received $450,000 in Fiesta Bowl proceeds. The University transferred another $368,000 from the Men's Athletics Department which we used to reinstate hours, increase our materials budget, and purchase a photocopy card system to better serve our patrons. The student government and student organizations raised funds on behalf of the libraries. The continued publication of the Library Development Review was made possible by generous contributions from Mrs. Cornelia Hodges, whose late husband Dr. John C. Hodges published the first Review in the 1960s. Also during 1991-92, after long study and consultation, we administratively reorganized the University Libraries. The reorganization will make more efficient use of our resources, increase staff participation in decision making, and help us to better respond to the ever-changing needs of our users.

Th ~ following is his uCCO I ,nt of how this came about. After h.is first semester as instructor of boxing at Princeton, Joe Brown (1909­ 1985) had a few pieces of sculpture in the March 1938 Pennsylvania Academy Exhibit in PhilaJ elphia. A photograph of one of the pieces of sculpture, titled "Dropped" depicting a boxLr who had been knLlCked to the l1o()(', appeared in The PhiladelJ)hia Public Ledger which boasted a wide circulation in the city and surrounding communitie~, including Princeton. Christian ()au~ s , Dean of tbe Col­ lege at Princeton, saw the photograph in the Public Ledger ~llld asked Joc's depart­ ment head at Princeton to set a lun­ cheon date for he and Joe to meet. There Dean Gauss referred to Joe's talent (IS a boxer cLlld scu lptor remark ing that Brown's talents were incongruous and General Neyland at work. (Siler C(Jllection .) was immediately corrected Dr Brown, who said "the combination is not incon­ gruous Dean, it is unusual." Having made his p('int, Brown made a paSS Ionate plea for a program in the practice of the arts at Princeton. Several weeks after their discussion the Dean managed to garner a five -year gIft from the Carnegie Corpora­ tilln to support Br,)wn's idea of teaching sculpture at the liberals arts college. It was the addition of teaching sculpture to Brown's existing teaching [lssignment in boxing that set the stage for nationwide publicity concerning Joe's unusual com­ bination of tale nr s, which hccame a con­ stant theme of ~ tnries abllllt Brown throughout his career.

BTllwn's method for creating these portraits was dynamic and interactive. Rather than sit­ l ing in one position during a modeling session, each was told to talk or do as they wished while Brown sculpted. His subjects were encouraged to be them­ selves in order to allow Brown to better understand their emotions and character­ istic expressions. Brown's method re­ sulted in his creating portraits that were more than excellent physical likenesses to his subjects. Brown lost the use of his rh;ht t!ye in the 1940s, and in the winter of 1978­ 70 his left eye began to develop serious prohlems. While the CyL problems slowed Joe Brown, they (ltd not stop him.

24 "}icarilla Maiden." (Curtis, Edwin S., The North American Indian, Vol. 1, Cambndge: b), the Author, 1907, Plate 22)

Back Cover: "Pikehodiklad-Navaho" from The North American Indian, Vol. 1, Cambridge: by the Author, facing p. 118. Navaho dr)' painting was done by hand with colored sand. Many, like this one used on the fifth night of the nine day Night Chant, were quite large and required the help of numerous individuals. The ceremony had to do with healing, and this night's activities were designed to frighten the patient, who sat at the waist-line of the central figure. Thus the meaning of the name, "FTighten him on it."
