The Report of the Council was presented hy Mr. FRANK- LIN B. DEXTER of New Haveu, Conn., who also read a paper on "Some Social Distinctions at Harvard and Yale before the Revolution." At the close of the reading of the Report of the Council Rev. Dr. GEORCXE E. ELLIS said : "The baldest recognition of that distinction of rank is given in Sewall's Journal. He records that the minister of the Old South Church called a meeting of the members of the Church in connection with the choice of a colleague, and 1 Tlie ñamen follow the order of tloction to membersliip. 1 2 American Antiquarian Society. [Oct. very few attended the meeting so that in order to determine it they had to call another meeting. And the explanation was, and I think it was made by tlie father of Dr. Franklin, that Dr. Pendleton asked for a meeting of the gentlemen of the Church and Franklin's father said he did not claim to be a gentleman, and that was the reason that the infelicitous call of the Church led to such a small number being presnt. "I recall an incident which some of you may not remem- ber. When George Bancroft returned from Germany he made an effort in Harvard College to have the catalogue arranged not alphalietieally but according to scholarship. That was resisted by what was called a rebellion in those days. I have reason to remember it for I had an older brother then in college who was a very good scholar, as was also my younger brother. He would have had no reason to object to being ranged in the order of scholarship. But the class had what was called an illegal meeting, that is, a meeting without permission of the faculty, to resist the matter, and my brother was made moderator of that meet- ing. I distinctly recall in my boyhood President Kirkland, who had been my mother's clergyman before going to the college, coming to see her to reconcile her to my brother's l)eing sent off for that illegal moderatorship, and he found it difficult to do it. My brother, who was a very sensitive young man, said he would never return to the college." The Report of the Treasurer was then presented by NATHANIEL PAINE, Esq. The Report of the Librarian was presented by Mr. EDMUND M. BAUTON. On motion it was voted that the Report of the Council should be referred to the Committee on Publication for publication in the Proi-eedings. Prof". HKNRY W. HAYNES and Hon. EDWARD L. DAVIS were appointed to distribute and collect ballots for Presi- dent of the Society. During the collection of the ballots Dr. EDWARD E. HALE said: 1893.] Proceedings. 3 **I should like to ask what became of the supposed American edition of the Pilgrim's Progress which was sup- posed to l>e in the Brinley collection. In the second part of the Pilgrim's Progress Bunyan says in the poetical intro- duction tbat it was reprinted in America. It was announced, twenty or thirty years ago, that a copy was in the Brinley Library, and 1 suppose some of the gentlemen who attended that sale would know." The PRESIDENT referred to the fact that Mr. ANDREW McF. DAVTS at the meeting in April called attention to the question of the amount of property that the Society was allowed to hold ; wliether it had acquired a strength not authorized by the Act of Incorporation, and a committee was appointed by the Council to investigate the subject. The committee had attended to the duty, and a report was prepared by Senator HOAR which he would read. The fol- lowing report was then read : "The Committee who were directed by the Council to inquire how much real and jjersonal property the Society is authorized to hold, and whether it is desirable that further authority to hold property should be obtained from the Legislature, respectfully report : *'The Society was empowered by its eharter, approved October 24, 1812, to take and hold real and personal estate, »provided that the annual income of any real estate by said Society holden shall never exceed the sum of fifteen hundred dollars, and that the personal estate thereof, ex- clusive of books, papers and articles in the museum of said Society ahall never exceed the value of seven thousand dollars.' "By the statute approved March 26, 1852, the Society is authorized to hold real estate the annual income of which shall uot exceed the sum of five thousand <lollars, and per- sonal estate wbich exclusive of books, pspers and articles in its cabinet shall not exceed the sum of one hundred thou- sand dollars. 4 American Antiquarian Society. [Oct. " The Report of the Treasurer for the six month.s endincr April I, 1893, shows that the invested personal property of the Society ineluding cash on hand then amounted to $126,663.91, being more than twenty-six thousand dollars in excess ofthe amount allowed by law. " The Committee understand that no person can raise any lawful ol)jeotion to the holding of this amount by the Society, or to its acquiring and holding any further [¡rop- erty, real or personal, excej)t the Commonuealtb. But sueh holding and acquisition are in violation of law, and the Society can be compelled by proper process instilutc(î in behalf of the Commonwealth to keep within legal limits. This condition of things may deter some persons who might otherwise be disposed to make gifts to the Society. *'We therefore recommend that the Society petition the Legislature ¡it tho coming î^e.'jsion so to amend lhe churtor that the Society may hold property, real or personal, to an amount not exceeding five hundred thousand dollars. STEPHEN SALISBURY, GEO. F. HOAR, SAMUEL S. GREEN." The report was un¡ininiously adopted. The Comniittee on Election announced that Hon. STEPHEN SALISBUUY had been unanimously elected President. The PiiEsinE>!T: ''I express my thank.s for this renewed manifestation ofthe confidence ofthe Society." On motion of Dr. SAMUEL A. GHEEN, Dr. GRREN, Mr. RoBEitT N. TOPPAN and Mr. SOLOMON LINCOLN were appointed liy the President a committee to nominate the other officers. On motion of Senator HOAU it was voted that the Presi- dent and Recording Secretary should lie directed to peti- tion the Legislature, in accordance with the report pre- sented, for an increase of the authorized capital of tlie Society. Dr. HALE: "I had the honor of u conversation with 1893.] Proceedings, 5 Bishop Whipple at Lake Mohonk, and be confirmed the view which I have brought before the Society bofore, that any woll educated Ojihbeway Indians could understand Eliot's Bible. He has promised to send me some momo- randa on the mutter, and I should liko to have permission to present those memoranda to tbe Publication Committee, and if tbey should tbink them important enough to ask that they may be printed as a part of our Proceedings." It was so voted. Tbe chairman of the Committee on Nominations reported tbo list of officers for election.

  • In Resistance to a Capitalist Past: Emerging Practices of Critical Librarianship Lua Gregory and Shana Higgins
    In Resistance to a Capitalist Past: Emerging Practices of Critical Librarianship Lua Gregory and Shana Higgins Introduction In previous work, we’ve explored capitalism and neoliberal ideology in relation to oppression and inequalities, how consciousness raising as defned by Paulo Freire and Ira Shor can lead to informed action, and how the intersections of critical pedagogy and core values such as social responsibility, diversity, and the public good, can contextualize social justice work within the practice of librarianship.1 In this chapter, we revisit capitalism, by examining its inextricable historical connections to the proliferation of libraries and the growth of librarianship as a profession in the United States in the late nineteenth century. We fnd that the rise of capitalism and the “efciency movement” during the Progressive Era (1890–1920) led to a replicating of libraries in the image and model of corporations, and the creation of an educational system that favored practicality and connections to the market, within which we locate historical tensions between theory and practice. Tis chapter is neither historiography nor discourse analysis, but perhaps borrows from both. Our goal is to illuminate the economic and ideological contexts from which the library profession in the United States fourished, and has continued to be implicated. Despite the close alignment of American li- brarianship with a hegemonic economic ideology, there have been critical and 1 Lua Gregory and Shana Higgins, Information Literacy and Social Justice (Sacramento, CA: Library Juice Press, 2013).

  • History of Urban Main Library Service
    History of Urban Main Library Service JACOB S. EPSTEIN THEMOST IMPORTANT early date for urban public libraries would certainly be 1854, the year the Boston Public Library opened its doors. But as Jesse Shera has noted: “The opening, on March 20,1854, of the reading room of the Boston Public Library. ..was not a signal that a new agency had suddenly been born into American urban life. Behind the act were more than two centuries of experimentation, uncertainty, and change.”l Before the advent of public libraries there were numerous social li- braries, mercantile libraries and other efforts to have a community store of books which could be borrowed or consulted. A common prin- ciple evident in each of them was the belief that the printed word was important and should be made available to the ordinary citizen who could not own all the literature which was of value. Although it was a subscription library, rather than a public library as we think of it today, Benjamin Franklin’s Library Company of Phila- delphia, organized in 1731, was the first library in America to circulate books and the first to pay a librarian for his services. In his Autobiogra- phy, Franklin declared, “These libraries have improved the general conversation of the Americans, made the common tradesmen and farm- ers as intelligent as most gentlemen from other countries, and perhaps have contributed in some degree to the stand so generally made throughout the colonies in defense of their privileges.”2 Here is that recurrent theme of self-improvement that runs throughout the Ameri- can public library movement.

Special Collections and Archives Ref: MS 6 - 9, MS 22 Title: Mundella Papers Scope: The correspondence and other papers of Anthony John Mundella, Liberal M.P. for Sheffield, including other related correspondence, 1861 to 1932. Dates: 1861-1932 (also Leader Family correspondence 1848-1890) Level: Fonds Extent: 23 boxes Name of creator: Anthony John Mundella Administrative / biographical history: The content of the papers is mainly political, and consists largely of the correspondence of Mundella, a prominent Liberal M.P. of the later 19th century who attained Cabinet rank. Also included in the collection are letters, not involving Mundella, of the family of Robert Leader, acquired by Mundella’s daughter Maria Theresa who intended to write a biography of her father, and transcriptions by Maria Theresa of correspondence between Mundella and Robert Leader, John Daniel Leader and another Sheffield Liberal M.P., Henry Joseph Wilson. The collection does not include any of the business archives of Hine and Mundella. Anthony John Mundella (1825-1897) was born in Leicester of an Italian father and an English mother. After education at a National School he entered the hosiery trade, ultimately becoming a partner in the firm of Hine and Mundella of Nottingham. He became active in the political life of Nottingham, and after giving a series of public lectures in Sheffield was invited to contest the seat in the General Election of 1868. Mundella was Liberal M.P. for Sheffield from 1868 to 1885, and for the Brightside division of the Borough from November 1885 to his death in 1897.

  • Charles Ammi Cutter
    CHAPTER I EARLY LIFE AND HARVARD STUDENT YEARS Early Years Charles Ammi Cutter was a member of a nineteenth century family that can be described as, "solid New England stock." The members had a pride in ancestry "not so much because their forbears were prominent in the social, polit- ical, or financial world, but because they were hard-working, plain-living, clear-thinking, and devout people, with high ideals.,,1 The Cutter fa_ily had its start in America with the arrival in Massachusetts from Newcastle-on-Tyne in Eng- land of the widow, Elizabeth Cutter, and her two sons about 1640. Through her son, Richard, she became the progenitress of descendants who, each in his own way, helped to civilize the colonial wilderness and who played a part in bringing the young nation through its revolutionary birth pains. 2 The Cutters were primarily farmers and merchants but included among their ranks clergymen, physicians, and later, 1 W.

LAISSEZ-FAIRE THEORY IN THE EARLY AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION Norbert Brockman, S.M.* The organized bar in the United States has, throughout its history, been shaped by the currents moving the history of the country at large. Thus, when the revolution that was Jacksonian democracy gathered strength in the 1820's, the legal profession felt its effects. The common view of the bar was that of Alexis de Tocqueville, who remarked: "If I were asked where I place the American Aristoc- racy, I should reply without hesitation... that it occupies the judicial bench and bar."' In the rising tide of Jacksonianism, this feeling could only result in a reaction against the organized bar. It was not uncommon for editors to accuse associations of undermining the bar, or even of being "conspiracies against the community at large."2 Traditionally, lawyers had been "called" to the bar, the admitting agent in the United States invariably being the court system.
