INTRODUCTION 1 Purpose and Scope Methodology II. INDEX S BIBLIOGRAPHY 40 ii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION An index, as defined in the American Library Association's Glossary of Terms, is "a list of topics, names, et cetera, treated in a book or a group of books, with references to pages where they occur." Robert Collison said: The indexing of periodicals is based on the same principles as those for the indexing of books, but it involves a stricter discipline, a wider knowledge of unswerving consistency. ...An index to perioci- cals is however an operation carried out over a long period ... and it covers a greater amount and variety of material, generally speaking. Continuative indexing means that the principles on which the index is compiled in one month must be strictly followed in all further installments if the reader is to discover quickly and easily all the material on his subject.2 At the time of the first publication of the Bulletin of Atlanta 3 University in June, 1883, the University itself had been in existence for fourteen years. The Bulletin was a link which provided reports on the progress of the University as well as progress of the South in general.

    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.
