New site of the Library School ( 1993- ), formerly the Acacia House Foreword Leigh Estabrook Publication oi Ideals and Standards celebrates the centennial of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science in a special way. These collected essays provide a way for us to hold on to our history as the school faces an uncertain future. They reveal how much the School has always been involved in change and at the same time how much the practices of today are embedded in the work of our predecessors. It is fitting that we celebrate with a publication edited by Professors Emeritus Walter Allen, who taught for many years in the area of publishing, and Robert Delzell, long a member of the University Library faculty. Former directors of the School Robert Downs and Herbert Goldhor and many of the faculty and alumni are some of the most prolific writers in our field. The School's publishing program is long-standing and includes Library Trends, Occasional Papers, conference proceedings, and a monograph series. To those alumni, faculty, and students who read this book, thank you for your part in creating this history and in making the Graduate School of Library and Information Science excellent. Even the most quiet and unobtrusive student challenges a faculty member to think differently about how she or he teaches. Those who dissent force us to examine our assumptions. Those who are active in the School and the profession help us see our connections to one another and reaffirm our commitment to library and information science. This, then, is a family album— probably of greatest interest to its members, but enjoyable also, we hope, to others in our profession who may see, in this family, patterns similar to their own. Introduction Walter C. Allen In September 1893, a bold new program of instruction for service in libraries began at the Armour Institute of Technology in Chicago under the directorship of Katharine L. Sharp. After four years there, the rapidly developing school outgrew its original parent and moved to East Central Illinois, where, like the ubiquitous com, it grew and flourished. There have been several publications about various stages of the history of what is now known as the Graduate School of Library and Information Science of the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. Ideals and Standards marks the centennial and takes quite a different direction from that of its predecessors. In 1943, the School issued the first volume in a sometime series called Illinois Contributions to Librarianship. Titled Fifty Years of Education for Librarianship, it was apparently edited by Carl M. White, then the University librarian and director of the School. It is a collection of brief essays, some delivered at a fiftieth anniversary dinner at the Urbana-Lincoln Hotel on March 2, 1943; the others were later contributions. While several essays (including pieces by C. C. Williamson, Phineas L. Windsor, Margaret Mann, and Frances Simpson) address the history and influence of the School, the others are on "subjects of general interest in the field, ranging from recruiting to international cooperation in education for librarianship" (White, 1943, p. x). Twenty-five years later, "the Graduate School of Library Science of the University of Illinois completed its first seventy- five years. ..A collection of reminiscences written by persons who had been affiliated with the School was chosen as an appropriate way to mark this noteworthy event.... From this collection of personal recollections there emerges a history of the first three quarters of a century of the.. School and Introduction iii the promise for continued achievement in the years ahead." So wrote Barbara Oisen Slanker (Ph.D. 70) in the Foreword of a volume entitled Reminiscences: Seventy-Five Years of a Library School (Slanker, 1969). It is a highly informative and often quite entertaining volume even today. Now, after another quarter century, the entire profession has been revolutionized, and the School with it. It was clear to the planners of the centennial celebration that a new publication was needed, not only to mark the occasion, but to put the new developments into the context of the School's total history. In late 1989, Dean Leigh Estabrook asked me to be the editor of the book At that time, I suggested that, not being an alumnus, it would be helpful to have a co-editor who was one, and I suggested Robert F. Delzell ('51), long a member of the University Library faculty, a frequent lecturer in the School, and close friend and colleague of many faculty members over a thirty-year span. I also requested that we form an editorial committee which became, formally, the centennial publication subcommittee of the centennial steering committee, of which I became a member. The other members of the subcommittee, or editorial committee, were Raymond Bial (79), librarian of Parkland College; Lynne Curry, assistant to the dean for publications; Dean Estabrook; Kathryn Luther Henderson ('57), professor in the School; Debra Park, assistant to the dean for research and development; and Patricia Stenstrom ('57), associate professor and Library Science librarian at the University of Illinois. The editorial committee met first on March 29, 1990 and began to develop a plan for the book. There was never any intention of producing a definitive history of the School; we leave that to some alumna or alumnus with an interest in education for librarianship and the role of the School in it.

  • Women in Southern Library Education, 1905-19451
    WOMEN IN SOUTHERN LIBRARY EDUCATION, 1905-19451 James V. Carmichael, Jr. 2 Southern library education was an almost exclusively female enterprise until about 1930, when the first male students were accepted into the region's only ALA-accredited library school. In the formative (ca. 1905-30) and develop­ mental (ca. 1930-45) years of southern library education. regional attitudes toward gender, race, and class, and the South's impoverished economic climate. shaped the way in which library education was adapted to meet regional needs. The "old girl network" of library school alumnae. community leaders. and even untrained librarians represented a formidable coalition for library advocacy that even the region's much publicized illiteracy. bigotry, and general backwardness could not deter. Until at least 1945, southern library education was governed by females, long after women had lost their strongholds in other parts of the coun­ try. At the end of the Second World War, nine out of ten southern library schools had a female dean or director (see table 1) [1, pp. 15-16; 2, pp. 463-64; 3, pp. 593-94]. Similarly, among general library educa­ tion programs with no prohibition against the entrance of males, only the southern programs catered exclusively to females until 1930.3 Why I. I wish to acknowledge the generous assistance of the following librarians, library educa­ tors. and archivists who supplied information vital to this study: Peter Carini.

    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY The Awakening: Rhetoric and the Rise of New Women in the New Northwest, 1868-1912 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Communication Studies By Cindy Koenig Richards EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2008 2 © Copyright 2008 by Cindy Koenig Richards All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT The Awakening: Rhetoric and the Rise of New Women in the New Northwest, 1868-1912 Cindy Koenig Richards This study examines rhetorical practices through which disenfranchised women developed tenable political identities and integrated themselves into the public realm in the Pacific Northwest between 1868 and 1912. Through close analysis of rhetorical activities in which thousands of women participated—including club discourse, public commemoration, legal advocacy, petition work, and publication—it illuminates how these activities reconciled femininity and political involvement in an era and place that categorically denied women the right to self-government. Specifically, this dissertation argues that collective rhetorical practices made available rather than merely expressed new identities and skills among women in Oregon and Washington. As they engaged in symbolic action, together, women bridged the divide between their conventional roles in the private realm and leadership in public life, thereby changing themselves and their communities. In addition to expanding interdisciplinary understanding of woman’s rights and suffrage activism in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century United States, this study provides insight into modes of communication that construct public identities, cultivate new ways of thinking and acting politically, and create grounds for public reform. 4 Acknowledgments I am grateful to The Graduate School and the Department of Communication Studies at Northwestern University as well as the Alumnae of Northwestern University for providing the money and time that enabled me to complete this dissertation.

No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from the University of Texas Press. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document.*** Abstract: The development of library service in the southern states occurred in a supposedly reconciliatory period of American history following the Civil War, but the reforms of Reconstruction, the indigenous remnants of "southern culture," and feelings of isolation from larger professional affairs bred dissent and feelings of estrangement between natives and outsiders. This article relates "the southern problem" to early key events in southern library development and current fractures in American cultural politics. Article: Those still dazed by the tawdriness of style, if not the content, of the 2004 election campaign, with its predictable diversions and sideshows, should consider the journalistic garbage dredged up in past presidential campaigns: Andrew Jackson shot a man who insulted his wife, Rachel Donelson, because he had claimed their marriage was not legal; James Buchanan, the bachelor president, lived for years in Washington with Alabama senator
