arriet converse Fernald, a graduate of the University in 1884, later graduated in the first class of the first professional library school in the country, the School of HLibrary Economy of Columbia. She studied there under Melvil Dewey, an early authority on library classification and one of the really great names in the history of Library economy. Miss Fernald then served as Assistant Librarian of the Maine State College from 1888 to 1890 and Librarian from 1890 to 1897. With the completion of Coburn Hall in 1888, the library of the college was moved from its cramped quarters in the old Chemistry Laboratory to a new and more fitting location in the new building. Under Professor George H. Hamlin as Librarian, Miss Fernald began the duties which HARRIET C. FERNALD, ’84 she rendered over a period of nine years. Her services in arranging, classifying, and cataloging the volumes of the college library ultimately resulted in a system, which, in its essentials, was the forerunner of the modern, efficient, and serviceable catalog index used today. The careful work of her busy pen laid the foundations of our present Library system and some of her records are still in use at the present time. Any recognition of the part which the University Library has had in reflecting and at the same time contributing to the development and progress of the University should pay due tribute to the vital Coburn Hall years and to alumna Harriet Fernald, first profes­ sional, full-time librarian of the college. From her training, ability, and interest resulted the system which rendered the library a truly useful tool. Boasting the grand total of 5,215 books and pamphlets, the college library, on taking up itsnew quarters inCoburn Hall, faced a period of growth and development equalled only by the college itself.What part Miss Fernald played in this significant period remains clearly evident in the records of the Library. In 1890, she assumed full responsibility as Librarian over a collection of more than 6,000 volumes. At the completion of her period of service in 1897, the y e a r which the Maine State College became the University of Maine, more than 10,000 books, carefully arranged and properly classified, crowded the shelves in Coburn Hall. Much of the usefulness of a university library either in 1890 or 1940 depends upon the availability of the volumes on its shelves. Mere storage of books, a static accumulation of un­ used volumes, is in no real sense a library and con­ tributes nothing to the life and development of the in­ stitution. Thus, for services ren­ dered in the first perma­ nent classification of the University Library, alumna Harriet C. Fernald, ’84, takes her place in the list of those who have contrib­ uted to the progress and development of the Uni­ versity of Maine.

Nitrogen from Norway, Chile or Hopewell, Virginia. Superphosphates from Belgium, Baltimore or Florida. Potash from Europe, New Mexico or California—all find an easily accessible berth alongside Summers’ pier. Conversion of these Raw Materials into SUMMERS “Best-on Earth” balanced Crop Rations is completed by Maine Labor in a Maine plant. Modern equipment insures accurate manufacture. Ample storage permits thor­ ough “curing.” A thousand ton daily shipping capacity adequately meets the demand of Maine Growers for High Speed Service. Fertilizers through Summers’ Searsport factory reach Maine Fanners by a short and economical route. Extra hand­ ling and superfluous overhead are eliminated These operating economies permit SUMMERS to put that Extra Plant Food Value in each bag—a demonstrable fact upon which thousands of Maine Farmers annually depend. SUMMERS FERTILIZERS are Dependable Plant Rations because they are produced by a Dependable Organiza­ tion with Dependable Facilities.
