REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT.
To THE GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS:
In accordance with the provisions of an act entitled: "An
Act to encourage and promote the establishment of free public
libraries in cities, villages and towns in this state," approved
June 17, 1891, under which this corporation is organized, the
Directors of The John Crerar Library submit their eleventh
annual report for the year 1905.
By the death of Marshall Field, Esq., on January 16, 1906,
the Board has lost another of the members named by Mr. Crerar,
and one who has rendered most important service to the Library
as Chairman of the Committee on Finance from the beginning.
The vacancy in the Board caused by the death of Arthur J.
Caton was filled by the election, on February 23, 1905, of Mr.
Robert Forsyth. This choice was duly approved under date of
March 2, 1905, by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
Illinois, so that the Board is now composed of the following
persons: E. W. Blatchford, Robert T. Lincoln, Henry W.
Bishop, Albert Keep, John M. Clark, Frank S. Johnson, Peter
Stenger Grosscup, Marvin Hughitt, Thomas D. Jones, John J.
Mitchell, Leonard A. Busby, and Robert Forsyth, together
with Edward F. Dunne, Mayor of Chicago, and Lawrence E.
McGann, Comptroller, ex-officio members.
The officers of the Library are as follows: President, Peter
Stenger Grosscup; First Vice-President, Henry W. Bishop;
Second Vice-President, Thomas D. Jones; Secretary, Leonard
A. Busby; Treasurer, William J. Louderback; Librarian,
Clement W. Andrews.
On February 15, 1905, the South Park Commissioners
passed "An Ordinance concerning The John Crerar Library,"
in accordance with the provisions of an Act entitled "An Act
concerning free public libraries in public parks," approved May
14, 1903, and in force July I, 1903, granting permission, under
7
8 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT.
certain -conditions, to erect and maintain a free public library
building on that part of Grant Park between Michigan Avenue
and the Illinois Central Railroad, and between Madison and
Monroe streets extended east, the general style of the building
to be classical, and the approximate cost to be one million
dollars. On February 23, 1905, the Directors accepted this
ordinance, and have since caused to be prepared a schedule of
the rooms needed and a diagram of their convenient arrange-
ment, and have instructed their Committee on Buildings and
Grounds to prepare a programme for a mixed competition for
the selection of plans and architect.
The eleventh year of the work of the Library has shown
a steady growth in its collections, and an almost equally
steady increase in its usefulness to the public. The total use has
been nearly 250,000 volumes and periodicals; and it has been
frequented by 92,200 visitors, an average of 296 a day and an
increase of nearly 5,000 over 1904. The Library now contains
145,000 volumes and 26,000 pamphlets, and receives currently
2 ,069 periodicals and 4, 364 other serial publciations. For further
details reference is made to the appended report of the Librarian.
The report of the Treasurer, also appended, presents the
statement of the income and expenditures for the year 1905,
together with a statement of the assets and investments as
required by law.
Respectfully submitted,
PETER S. GROSSCUP,
President.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
To THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY :
Gentlemen: In presenting the report of the routine work of
the Library for its eleventh year but few comments appear to
be called for. The most noticeable feature has been the con-
tinued increase in the attendance and use notwithstanding that
at times the limit of the capacity of the Reading Room, as at
present arranged, has been reached. The unexpected delay in
obtaining additional space on the fifth floor, due to the delay in
completing the new building of Marshall Field & Co., has pre-
vented any relief for this winter, but it is hoped that possession
will be given early in the spring. This will make it possible to
remove the public card catalogues to a separate room adjoining
the Reading Room and to provide twenty additional seats for
readers. It will also make possible the recall of the books now
at the Newberry Library, and so remedy another serious incon-
venience.
A second notable condition of the year's work has been the
wholly unusual number of changes in the staff. When fourteen
resignations and two long absences occur in a staff of twenty-
eight, it is evident that a serious loss of efficiency must result,
even when the new people are equal in ability and conscientious-
ness to those they replace. It is hoped that this will be borne
in mind in making comparisons between the work of 1905 and
previous years. A detailed statement of the reasons for these
resignations seems unnecessary, but it may be well to state that
all the more important resignations were for personal reasons
and were not due to dissatisfaction with the conditions of service
at the Library.
Only one change of importance has been made in the arrange-
ment of the routine work. The filing of all cards in the public
card catalogues has been placed in charge of one assistant, Miss
Darlington, who has also been assigned to assist in the reference
12
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 13
work. The increasing demands have made some provision
necessary, and this arrangement has proved very satisfactory.
In accordance with instructions from the Committee on
Buildings and Grounds, the Librarian has prepared a schedule of
rooms needed or desirable in the permanent building and a dia-
gram showing a convenient arrangement of the space available.
This arrangement is based upon the general plan for the new
building of the New York Public Library. It provides for
stacks, lighted mainly by artificial light, in the center of the
building, the top floor devoted to reading rooms, and rooms for
administrative and other purposes on the lower floors around the
stacks. The schedule and diagram were drawn up in consulta-
tion with the heads of the staff, and have received the criticism,
generally very favorable, of almost all the prominent librarians
of the country.
Attendance. The total number of visitors recorded during
the year was 92,244, and the daily average 296, an increase of
six per cent over the figures of 1905, which were 87,494 and 279
respectively. The evening attendance shows a larger propor-
tional increase, having risen from an average of 50 to one of 58.
The average holiday attendance was about the same as in 1904,
152 as against 151 ; but again this is abnormally high because of
the less general celebration of New Year's Day on January 2.
The smallest attendance on any single day was 89, on December
25 ; and the largest 575, on Debember 9. The figures for 1904
were 107 and 528 respectively. It is of interest to note that
the largest attendance of 1905 slightly exceeds that of any
of the three reception days at the opening of the Library in
1897.
For the second time the attendance in one month has been
smaller than for the same month of the previous year, and again
it has been due to the weather. August 1904, was exceptional
cool and pleasant, while August, 1905, was somewhat unusually
hot. A comparison of these monthly records from the opening
shows a gradual but distinct change by which the attendance
tends to become more uniform throughout the year. The
increase in the summer months is probably due in large degree
to the development of summer schools at the universities and
elsewhere, while that in the months of December and January
i 4 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
may be attributed to some extent to the increasing use of the
Library in the holidays by teachers and students.
Use. The increase in the number of calls for books from
the stack is again larger proportionally than the increase in the
number of visitors. The figures for 1905 are 67,386, or a daily
average of 216, as against 59,591 and 190 in 1904, an increase
of 14 per cent. The increase in the recorded use of periodicals
and in the admissions to the stack have been nearly proportional
to the increase in the number of visitors. As the lack at times
of seats at the tables adjoining the periodical alcove tends to
make the readers use the periodicals inside the alcove, and so to
diminish the recorded use of them, and as the number of
admissions to the stack in 1904 was unusually large, it is certain
that the serious use of the Library is increasing faster than its
casual use. While this change in the character of the reading
might tend to lower the ratio of total to recorded use which
was determined several years ago, there are other factors which
affect it the other way; notably the increasing use of periodicals
in the alcove and the increasing use of sets of periodicals in
the Reading Room. Assuming the same factor, therefore, the
total use of the Library in 1905 was nearly 250,000 books and
periodicals.
A detailed classification of the call slips for books and periodi-
cals and of the admissions to the stack is given in the second
table of library statistics. The following table gives a compari-
son of the totals and percentages for each department with the
corresponding figures for 1904:

Applied Sciences 35.438 43 3 2 .5 2 43 6l 36 599 37
The only noticeable changes are the absence of any increase
in the calls in the Physical Sciences and the very considerable
increase in the admissions to the stack in the Social Sciences.
As almost all those recorded as unclassified are really in this
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 15
department, the actual increase is even greater than appears,
and is due, without question, to the recent purchases of the
Library in this department. A comparison of the calls for
books on special subjects shows a general increase. Only ten
subjects show decreases from last year, and all are slight in
amount. On the other hand, the calls in ethics, statistics,
customs and folk-lore, paleontology, and landscape gardening
have increased one-half, those for philology have doubled, and
those for commerce and communication have more than doubled.
The five leading subjects are the same, and in the same order as
last year, namely, engineering, physics, trade and transporta-
tion, chemical technology, history and geography.
Of the admissions to the stack 1171 have been by registra-
tion, 465 on presentation of 28 passes, and 45 at the Newberry
Library. Eight additional passes have been granted, but the
holder of one previously granted is known to have died, leaving
82 nominally in force.
Under the conditions established by the Directors a number
of books have been loaned to other libraries or to individuals
for reasons other than their personal convenience. Hitherto a
very simple record has been kept which has been sufficient to se-
cure their prompt return and their inclusion in the statistics of
use made of the Library. As the number of applications for
them tends to increase it seems desirable to be able to ascertain
exactly how many and to whom such favors are granted, and in
how many cases, if any, the books have been called for when out.
The distribution of the call slips for July by the residence of
the readers and similar distributions in previous years are
given in the following table of percentages:

The time required to fill calls has been calculated on the call
slips for the third week in December. The average time was
1.71 minutes, and 83 per cent were filled within three minutes.
These figures show a marked improvement over those for 1904,
which were 2.37 and 80 respectively. Credit is due primarily
16 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
of course to the efforts of the attendants, but these were more
successful because of the better arrangement of the books on the
shelves and the correction of misplacements while taking the
inventory.
Publications. In May the Library issued its Tenth Annual
Report, a pamphlet of 50 pages, of which the usual edition of
4,000 copies was printed and the greater part distributed. In
February it issued the List of Cyclopedias and Dictionaries, with
a List of Directories, August, 1904., to which reference was made
in the last report. These lists contain 1,610 titles and form,
with index, a volume of 272 pages. The Librarian prepared a
Sketch of the Library for the handbook, Libraries of the City of
Chicago, published by the Chicago Library Club. An edition
of 1,000 copies of this Sketch has been printed separately and
will be distributed to the exchanges of the Library. Copies will
be sent upon application. The second edition of the Supplement
to the List of Serials in Public Libraries of Chicago and Evanston,
although greatly delayed by the strike of the compositors, is
now in page form and should be ready for issue early in 1906.
This edition will contain entries for some 8,500 serials, about
double the number in the first edition. There remain unchanged
in the original list some 3,500 entries, so that the two together
give the entries for 12,000 serials. There has been a steady
growth of all the libraries contributing, but the unexpectedly
large increase over the first edition is due in part to the
inclusion of three additional libraries: the Chicago Law Institute,
the Northwestern University Law School, and the University
of Illinois School of Pharmacy, and also in part to the pur-
chases of the Bonaparte collection by The Newberry Library
and of the Gerritsen collection by The John Crerar Library.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 17
The revision of the List of Books in the Reading Room in
preparation for a second edition is well under way. The calls
for this list are so frequent, and the present edition so nearly
exhausted, that it has seemed advisable to postpone the issue of
the List of Histories of Science, on which, however, preparatory
work is being done regularly.
The distribution of one copy of each catalogue card to the
Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago Public Library, Field
Columbian Museum, Library of Congress, Northwestern Uni-
versity, Princeton University, University of Chicagb, University
of Illinois, and University of Michigan, and of a selection to the
U. S. Geological Survey, has been continued. A complete set
of cards has been furnished to Princeton University, and large
orders have been received from the University of Michigan, Uni-
versity of Illinois, Canadian Society of Civil Engineers, Dr. Thor
Rothstein of Chicago, City Club of Chicago, and Northwestern
University, and smaller ones from a number of individuals.
Besides these orders, a classed catalogue on Municipal Affairs
containing 1,575 cards, was presented to the Municipal Museum
of Chicago, and the American Institute of Mining Engineers
was put on the exchange list. In all 90,321 cards have been
sold or sent in exchange, and 1,824 have been given away.
From the Library of Congress we have received in exchange
47,855 cards, making a total of 206,923 now in the depository
catalogue.
Selection and Ordering. The work of selection has been
brought nearly to date, but the main result has been to
increase materially the arrears of orders to be given. For
various reasons the efforts made to reduce these arrears have not
been successful. Although the necessity is to be regretted, as
giving up, at least for a time, the Directors' expressed aim that
the Library should be as complete as possible in its departments,
it may be better, under the present circumstances, to make a
preferred list of these selections, so that the advantages of
prompt purchase may be secured for the more important items.
During the year 7,713 orders have been given. Of these 384
failed or were canceled, leaving 7,329 valid orders, covering
10,334 volumes, at an estimated cost of $18,949.23. Of out-
standing orders 6,695 were filled, covering 11,786 volumes, at
i8 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
a cost of $20,224.64. There are left outstanding 2,484 orders
at an estimated cost of $4, 199.5 I ; of these 947 were given before
January I, 1905. One order of 56 items has been added to the
unclassified material; the distribution of the others and of the
total to the end of 1905 is shown in the second table of library
statistics.
Accessions. The total accessions for 1905 have been 20,223,
of which 2,497 have been received as gifts and 17,726 obtained
by purchase. Volumes made by binding serials and 5,941
entered from the Gerritsen collection are included in these figures.
There have been withdrawn 270 volumes, leaving the net acces-
sions for the year 19,953, which, with the 123,018 reported for
1904, make a total now on the books of 142,971. To these
should be added some2,ooo volumes and 13,000 pamphletsnot yet
entered from the Gerritsen collection, about 4,000 pamphlets from
the Ely collection, a collection of Canadian documents, and about
9,000 pamplets of minor importance, making a total, exclusive of
duplicates, of 145,000 volumes and 26,000 pamphlets. With the
exceptions just named the work of the Receiving Room is up to
date. The following table shows the distribution of the accessions
for 1905 and of the total so far entered by departments:

The percentages have been calculated for the classified books
only. It will be seen that the growth of the Library, apart from
the special purchases, has been quite symmetrical.
The periodicals currently received for use in the periodical
alcove are 2,069, f which 306 are received as gifts and
1,763 by subscription at an estimated yearly cost of $6098.55.
Their classification is shown in the second table of library
statistics.
The necessity for changing the assistant in charge of the
Continuation Record twice during the year has prevented an
attempt to keep statistics which would show accurately how com-

pletely it is fulfilling its purpose of preventing gaps in the files,
but it is evident that it has done much in this direction. There
were added to the list 675 titles and 253 were withdrawn, leav-
ing 4,364 at the end of the year. About 2,000 are obtained by
subscription at a cost of $3,746.64, and these furnished 940
entries on the record of accessions.
The most important purchase of the year was a collection of
130 volumes of the publications of E. Wasmuth, Berlin, on
architecture and decorative art. These were bought of the
Municipal Museum of Chicago, which obtained them, with other
material, at St. Louis, where they had been exhibited. Apart
from this collection and the sets of serials, the only notable
purchases were a set of Leonardo Da Vinci's works in 28 vol-
umes; a set of the Printed Papers of the Essayons Club (U. S.
Corps of Engineers) ; a small collection of early pamphlets on
American railroads; and a small but valuable collection on
entomology from the library of the late Wm. Le Baron. The
list of files of serials completed includes : Acta Horti Petropolitani,
Atti della Accademia pontificia romana dei nuovi lincei, Attidella
Accademia delle scienze di Napoli, Bibliophile beige, Bijdragen tot
de statistiek van Nederland, Feuille des jeunes naturalist es, Jern-
kontorets annaler, Journal des economistes, S-vensk tidskrift, Voice,
Zoologische Jahrbucher, and a set of official documents of the
Netherlands on railroads.
There were received during the year 9,180 gifts from 1,156
donors and 2,497 gifts have been entered on the accession rec-
ords. The figures for 1904 were 5,809, 1,043, an ^ 2 >776 re-
spectively. The most notable gifts were a set of the national
edition, not in trade, of the works of Galileo in 16 volumes,
from the Italian Government, and a collection of 195 volumes
of early U. S. documents, none of them in the Library, from
the Superintendent of Documents. Mention should be made,
also, of a file of the Deutsche Rundschau from the estate
of the late Julius Rosenthal, of a considerable collection of
pamphlet material on charities from Hull House, a file of the
legal documents in the Chicago Union Traction Co. case from
the General Counsel for the Receivers, and of the presentation
by Miss Frances Le Baron, for exchange, of a considerable
portion of her father's collection on entomology.
20 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
Inventory. The inventory begun in 1904 was completed
in 1905. It does not include the volumes now at The Newberry
Library, as the larger part of these have not been shelf-listed.
The assistant in charge reports that the total number of volumes
not accounted for is 72, of which 37 were known to be miss-
ing when the inventory was begun, almost all of them having
been reported in 1901. Of the 72, 30 have been lost
from the Reading Room and 42 from the Stack Rooms.
A loss of 35 in four years seems extremely small, especially
in view of the increase of about 50 per cent in the total
number of books, and of 60 per cent in that of readers.
The number of mutilations discovered during the year is seven
as against thirteen in 1904. The number of serious misplace-
ments discovered by the inventory was also smaller than might
have been expected, being only 60 for four years out of 120,000
volumes, as against 50 for two years out of 76,000. To the
number reported should be added a few discovered when the
books were reshelved.
The number of hours spent in the actual comparison of the
books and shelf-list was 96, while in the inventory of 1901 it
was 93. These figures show a great economy in the use of the
shelf-list on cards.
Binding. On January i, 1905, there were at the bindery
629 volumes, and 8,034 were sent during the year; 8 were re-
turned as incomplete, and 7,391 bound; leaving 1,264 at the
bindery December 31, 1905. The cost of binding was $9, 069. 86,
an average of $1.23 per volume. This is a larger average price
than last year, but the increase is due solely to a change in the
character of the books bound, as the price paid for each kind of
work has not been changed. The total number to be bound
was also larger than last year, in part due to the increasing ne-
cessity for rebinding books which were in poor condition when
bought. The combined result was the exhaustion of the ap-
propriation for binding early in December and the doubling of
the usual number at the bindery at the end of the year. The
Assistant Librarian, after consultation with the Librarian, pro-
poses to use cloth bindings somewhat more freely in the
future in the hope of reducing the expenditure without affect-
ing seriously the proper care of the books.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 21
Catalogues. In no other part of the routine work has the
effect of the numerous changes in the staff been so serious as
in the cataloguing, and unfortunately the assistance received
from the Library of Congress was somewhat less than
in 1904. The result is a considerable, though not formidable, in-
crease in the arrears of the uncatalogued current accessions. On
the other hand, the Cataloguer reports that the assignment of
one assistant to the care of the public card catalogues has been a
distinct gain in regard both to that work and also to the cata-
loguing in general.
The Cataloguer reports further that during the year 4,742
new titles have been prepared for print; 71 new titles typewrit-
ten; 36 old typewritten titles prepared for print; 2,700 titles
received from the Library of Congress have been classified for
the catalogues ; 349 titles have been prepared for the coopera-
tive analysis of serials. The total number of titles treated by
the Cataloguer and Classifier and their assistants has been
8,556, a decrease of 598 over 1904. The titles reprinted in cor-
rection of errors were 23, and for other alterations 710. Cards
for 4,966 new titles and 752 reprinted titles were received from
the printer, electrotypes for 257 new titles and 510 reprinted
titles from the electrotypers. The total number of separate titles
prepared for print to date is 48,080; of sets of cards received,
47,472; of electrotypes, 36,135.
The number of orders sent to the Library of Congress on
triplicate order sheets was 7,713, and reports were received
on 7,254, leaving 459 outstanding. There were cards for 1,377
titles on hand January I, 1905; 3,311 were received during the
year and 2 were taken from the file of those previously with-
drawn; cards for 2,700 were used, and for 217 withdrawn from
the file, leaving those for 1 ,773 on hand December 31. Of those
withdrawn 2 1 titles had been replaced by the Library of Con-
gress in correction of errors without charge, 68 showed such
differences in cataloguing that they could not be used, for 104 the
books could not be obtained, and 24 were duplicates. Unfilled
orders not yet given up, for which cards are held, have increased
only 89, so that even if all these cards prove useless, the total
loss is only 282 out of 4,690, or six per cent. Of these 4,690
titles 65 i were analytical titles from 142 serial publications.
22 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
Quite unintentionally the work of this Library in the co-
operative analysis of serials has fallen behind some 200 titles.
It has supplied only 349 titles and has received cards for 3,260
at a net cost of $83.97.
The insertion of added entries in the official catalogue and
the revision of the public author catalogue have been finished
and the transfer of the classification records of the earlier titles
to the present form in the official catalogue has been begun. Tem-
porary slips for all books and pamphlets of the Gerritsen collection
have been added to the official catalogue, and also copies of all
titles within the scope of the Library received from the co-oper-
ative analysis of serials, other than those placed in the public
card catalogues. These additions gr atly simplify the task of
avoiding unintentional duplication in ordering.
During the year 18,619 cards have been filed in the classed
catalogue, which now contains some 62,900 titles on 134,100
cards, an average of 2.10 cards per title; 13,900 cards have
been filed in the author catalogue, which now contains the same
62,900 titles on 107,700 cards, an average of 1.71 cards per
title; 1,501 guides and 4,256 cards have been added to the
subject index, which now contains 16,300 guides and 16,400
cards, covering 33,700 titles, an average of 0.49 cards per title.
The distribution of the entries in the classed catalogue is shown
in the second table of library statistics. The topographical
index is not included in the table nor in the figures just quoted.
It has been completed to date, and now contains 28,600 cards,
covering the 62,900 titles, an average of 0.44 per title.
Meetings. The Library was invited to be represented officially
at the inauguration of the President and the dedication of the
Sims Library at Trinity University, Texas, in April ; it sent
formal congratulations and a set of its publications on the occa-
sion of the dedication of the new buildings of the University of
Lemberg, May 22 ; it was represented officially by the Assistant
Librarian and unofficially by five members of the staff at the
annual meeting of the Illinois State Library Association at
Rockford, April 19 to 21; officially by the Librarian and
unofficially by the Assistant Librarian and four other members
of the staff at the annual meeting of the American Library
Association at Portland, Ore., July 4 to 8 ; and unofficially by
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 23
the Librarian at the annual meeting of the New York Library
Association at Lake Placid, September 25 to 28. The sample
catalogue illustrating the system in use in the Library, which
was presented to the Library of Congress for exhibition at St.
Louis, was shown again as part of the Government exhibit at.
the Lewis and Clark Fair at Portland, Ore.
Staff. As has been already stated, the resignations and
absences have been exceptionally numerous, and have crippled
the service seriously. That the loss of efficiency has not been
greater is due to the xtra efforts of the staff, of which recogni-
tion here seems fitting. The Library has lost by resignation
the services of Mr. C. W. Perley, Classifier; Miss Eleanor Roper,
senior assistant; Misses Mary Emily Mills, Annie Louise
O'Neill, Blanche Se^ly, Adah Patton, and Mr. Chas. Witt,
junior assistants; Misses Bess R. Baldwin and Cara F.
Swenson, temporary jjunior assistants; Messrs. F. F. Stephens,
C. B. Harbaugh, Wi G. Reddingius, A. L. Day and S. S.
Marks, attendants; Harold Skrogstad, page. The thanks of
the Library for faithful work are due to all, but mention should
be made especially of the long and efficient services of Misses
Roper and Mills and of Mr. Witt. Leave of absence has been
granted to Miss Mary E. Hawley, Assistant Cataloguer, and
to Miss Editha C. Phelps, senior assistant. The following
appointments have been made: Mr. J. Christian Bay, Classifier;
Miss Jennie A. Hulce, senior assistant; Misses Mabel Hayward,
Edna Fairchild, Selma Nachman, Sophie Hyde, Harriet Holder-
man, Helen A. Bagley, and Mr. Bruno Wilke, junior assistants;
Messrs. Geo. E. Taylor, Robert R.Williams, and Andrew Bar-
nickel, attendants; William Haar, John A. Krauth, Albert Beau-
bien and Henry Bahnsen, pages. The services of Misses Alpha
L. Owens, Cornelia C. White, and Mrs. May Childs as tempo-
rary junior assistants have been secured.
Respectfully submitted,
CLEMENT W. ANDREWS,
Librarian.

MARSHALL FIELD.
On Thursday afternoon, January eighteenth, 1906, the
Board of Directors of The John Crerar Library met for their
eleventh Annual Meeting. An event, however, had occurred
which obliterated thoughts of business and brought into their
hearts a loss which will not be forgotten as time goes on. Two
days before, Marshall Field, a Director of this Library, had
passed away.
In respect to his memory no business was transacted. On
motion the Chairman appointed a Committee of three to draft
an appropriate expression of the sentiments of the Board.
At the adjourned meeting of the Board of Directors the
Committee presented the following for action :
In the death of Marshall Field, which occurred in the City
of New York on January sixteenth, the Directorate of The
John Crerar Library has lost a valued member. After naming
the late Norman Williams and Huntington W. Jackson, who
were his executors and trustees, as Directors of the Library,
Mr. Crerar placed the name of Mr. Field first on the added list
of friends to whom he entrusted the organization and control of
his magnificent gift. From the first Mr. Field has held
important offices on the Board. Without interruption he has
been Chairman of the 'Committee on Finance. The present
financial strength of the institution bears testimony to the
wisdom of his counsels. From 1895 to 1899 he was Second
Vice-President. During the twelve years' history of the Library
his concern and efficient action for its welfare have been constant.
In its early planning, in the organization of the departments of
administration, in the designs for its enlargement by securing a
permanent location on Grant Park, and in the plans for the
56
MARSHALL FIELD. 57
proposed building now under consideration; in all these his
interest was manifested and his counsels, ever of recognized
weight, were presented with unvarying courtesy. Its enlarging
scope and its stable foundation were to him sources of unalloyed
satisfaction. Thus in its extending and beneficent history will
The John Crerar Library honor the name of Marshall Field.
Your Committee could scarcely do justice to the duty
entrusted them did they not place upon record their estimate of
Mr. Field as a man whose character, beyond his connection
with this Library, shed a lustre upon all the varied and extended
activities of his influential life. As the head of a house which,
through its foundation principles of integrity, its steady growth,
and the extent of its operations, has elevated the standard of
business enterprise not only in our city, but throughout our
land; as the founder of the Field Museum of Natural History,
whose influence in favor of scientific research, already large, is
destined through Mr. Field's generous bequest to extend world-
wide; as a benefactor of educational institutions; as a citizen,
who, while always declining official positions, exerted upon the
course of politics a conservative and beneficial influence; he was
a man whom our city and country with unprecedented unanimity
delight to honor.
E. W. BLATCHFORD,
ROBERT T. LINCOLN,
JOHN M. CLARK,
Committee.
Upon presentation of the above, the Board of Directors
ordered it to be adopted, spread upon the records of the Board,
and printed in the Annual Report of the Library, and that an
engrossed copy be sent to the family of Mr. Field.

Secretary.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT.
To THE GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS:
In accordance with the provisions of an act entitled: "An
Act to encourage and promote the establishment of free public
libraries in cities, villages and towns in this state," approved
June 17, 1891, under which this corporation is organized, the
Directors of The John Crerar Library submit their twelfth
annual report, for the year 1906.
The vacancy in the Board caused by the death of Marshall
Field was filled by the election, on April 19, 1906, of Mr.
Chauncey Keep. This choice was duly approved under date of
May 8,. 1906, by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
Illinois, so that the Board is now composed of the following
persons: E. W. Blatchford, Robert T. Lincoln, Henry W.
Bishop, Albert Keep, John M. Clark, Frank S. Johnson, Peter
Stenger Grosscup, Marvin Hughitt, Thomas D. Jones, John J.
Mitchell, Leonard A. Busby, Robert Forsyth, and Chauncey
Keep, together with Edward F. Dunne, Mayor of Chicago, and
Lawrence E. McGann, Comptroller, ex-officio members.
The officers of the Library are as follows: President, Peter
Stenger Grosscup; First Vice-President, Henry W. Bishop;
Second Vice-President, Thomas D. Jones; Secretary, Leonard
A. Busby; Treasurer, William J. Louderback; Librarian,
Clement W. Andrews.
Having authorized the employment of a consulting archi-
tect, to conduct the competition for plans for the Library,
the Directors were taking active steps to proceed with the con-
struction of the permanent library building in Grant Park, under
the ordinance of the South Park Commissioners, passed Febru-
ary 15, 1905, when they were formally advised, about February
ist, by Mr. A. Montgomery Ward, one of the abutting prop-
erty owners on Michigan Avenue, that he would oppose the
erection of the library building in Grant Park. On April 24th,
7
8 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT.
the situation was laid before the South Park Commissioners,
with the request that they proceed to condemn the easement
of Mr. Ward and any other objecting abutting property owners
on Michigan Avenue, under the act of 1903, entitled "An Act
concerning free public libraries in public parks." The Commis-
sioners, however, took the position that until the construction
of the building should be actually interfered with, there was no
necessity for instituting condemnation proceedings, and that the
Directors should proceed. On June I2th, after due notice in
writing to Mr. Ward, a survey of the site for the library building
was made, and on June 2 1st, after like notice, the construction
work was commenced. Thereupon, legal proceedings to restrain
further work were instituted by Mr. Ward in a certain suit, for-
merly pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, entitled
"Ward et al. vs. City of Chicago et al., General No. 129,568,"
resulting in the entry of an order, on July 2d, restraining further
prosecution of the work. Thereupon, the request of the Library
to the South Park Commissioners, to proceed with condemnation
of the easement in question, was renewed, and the subsequent
delay in instituting these proceedings has been due to the fact
that the South Park Commissioners have not yet closed their
negotiations with reference to the erection of the Field Museum
of Natural History in Grant Park, and wish to establish the
rights of both the Library and Museum by suits instituted at
the same time.
A part of the needs of more space for books and readers has
been met temporarily by leasing and fitting up the rest of the
fifth floor of the Marshall Field & Co. Building, some 6,000
square feet.
Partly because of the natural relations of medicine to the
scope of the Library, as previously determined, and partly
because of the desire of the medical profession of the city that
the books should be in a more central location, the Directors
acquired, in February, the Medical Department of the New-
berry Library. The valuable collection presented by Dr.
Nicholas Senn and held in connection with that department,
was transferred at the same time, with Dr. Senn's consent.
Unfortunately, these collections cannot be accommodated in
the temporary quarters of the Library and must therefore
REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT. 9
remain in the Newberry Library building until the permanent
building is completed.
These acquisitions have made the number of books added
during the year the largest yet recorded, and, together with the
improved facilities at the main library, have notably increased
the usefulness of the institution to the public. The total use
has been nearly 310,000 volumes and periodicals; and it has
been frequented by 101,800 visitors, an average of 321 a day
and an increase of 9,600 over 1905. The Library now contains
200,000 volumes and 58,000 pamphlets, and receives currently
2,548 periodicals and 5,170 other serial publications. For
further details reference is made to the appended report of the
Librarian.
The report of the Treasurer, also appended, presents the
statement of the income and expenditures for the year 1906,
together with a statement of the assets and investments as
required by law.
Respectfully submitted,
PETER S. GROSSCUP,
President.

12 REPORT OF THE TREASURER.
In accordance with the instructions of the Board of Directors, the
Building Fund has been increased by the amount of the surplus for
the year, $63,025.72, less the sum of $335.89 added to the Book
Purchase Reserve (for the purchases authorized by the Board), making
a total to the credit of the Building Fund of $731,419.72.
To the Book Purchase Reserve there was also added in June the
sum of $63,000 (later designated Medical Library Purchase Sus-
pense Account), being the difference between $70,000, the purchase
price of the medical collection of The Newberry Library, and the
amount of $7,000 chargeable to the year 1906. The total of this
account will be diminished annually by $7,000, to be adjusted from
the Surplus.
The Book Fund has been increased by the amount of the invest-
ment during the year, less depreciation, and now stands at $334,756.23.
The accumulated income of the Huntington W. Jackson Fund
has been expended for books.
Insurance is in force covering the property of the Library in
amounts as follows :
Books - - $255,000.00
Portraits, Furniture, Fixtures, and Decora-
tions - 20,000.00
Type and Cases 4,400.00

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
To THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY :
Gentlemen: The establishment of a Department of Medical
Sciences and the fitting up of additional space in connection with
the temporary quarters of the Library have not only increased its
collections and usefulness, as stated in the report of the President,
but also have materially affected its internal administration.
Department of Medical Sciences. In the report of the Con-
ference Committee made to and adopted by the Boards of the
three public libraries of the city in 1896, it was stated that the
omission of medicine from the scope of The John Crerar Library
and its inclusion in that of the Newberry Library was recognized
as anomalous and recommended only on account of the value of
the collection already made by the Newberry Library. The
unnecessary expense and other inconveniences resulting from
this decision have been felt increasingly, and, in addition, the
medical profession has urged strongly the desirability of a more
central location for a medical library.
Early in the year arrangements which had been under discus-
sion for some time were completed, and on February /th the Li-
brary assumed possession of the Medical Department of the New-
berry Library. The transaction, although necessarily recorded
in the Treasurer's report and in the table of library statistics as
a purchase, is more properly to be regarded as a transfer upon
partial reimbursement of cost. Besides transferring all cata-
logues and other records, the Newberry Library further agreed
to allow the use of the two rooms in which the Department was
housed, rent free, until the completion of the permanent build-
ing of The John Crerar Library. As the services of Mr.
Morenius, who had had charge of the Department for several
years, were continued, the change could hardly have been noticed
by the public except for the formal announcements posted on
the doors.

14 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
With the main collection was transferred, with the consent of
the donor, the valuable Senn Medical Collection. When trans-
ferred from the custody of the Newberry Library this was
stated to consist of 10,689 volumes and 14,501 pamphlets.
Besides several smaller collections, it contains the notable surgi-
cal library of the late Dr. Wilhelm B. Baum, of Gottingen, and
the physiological library of the late Dr. Emil A. Du Bois-Rey-
mond,i of Berlin. Dr. Senn has signified his intention of in-
creasirlK this materially, and his desire that the department as a
whole shall be inferior to none in the country. The earnestness
of his intention is shown by the additions which he has made
during the year.
When received from The Newberry Library the medical
collection proper was stated to contain 28,432 volumes and
15,907 pamphlets accessioned, 979 duplicate volumes, and 6, 1 88
duplicate pamphlets. For the cost of these and of their records
the Newberry Library was partially reimbursed to the sum of
$68, 544.2 i , and this amount is included in the library statistics as
part of the cost of the Department of Medical Sciences to date. Be-
sides these, some 3,150 volumes and pamphlets on chemistry and
the natural sciences, not forming part of the Medical Department
of the Newberry Library, were purchased for the sum of $i ,45 5 . 79.
These purchases are also included in the statistics for the year.
As a whole, the new department ranks well among the med-
ical libraries of the country. It has a good collection of medical
periodicals and the transactions of medical societies, and through
the Senn Collection is in a position to render valuable aid to the
student of the history of medical subjects. It is, however,
deficient in the newer medical literature other than periodical.
This deficiency should be made up as soon as possible, and the
important and interesting work of bringing its catalogues into
conformity with those of the main library should also be taken
up soon, in order that it may be completed before the Depart-
ment is incorporated in the main library. Unfortunately, the
resignations, of Mr. Morenius, to return to Norway, and of Dr.
Jewett, to take charge of the Library of the University of
Nebraska, and the unwillingness of Dr. Matthews to accept a
permanent appointment have prevented more than a beginning
on the work.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 15
Rooms. On the first of August the Library was put in pos-
session of the rest of the fifth floor of the Marshall Field & Co.
Building, except the portion reserved for elevators and stairs.
The additional space thus acquired was nearly 6,000 square
feet and the total on the two floors is about 22,400. The floor
space occupied by the Department of Medical Sciences in the
Newberry Library Building is about 4,500 square feet.
The necessary alterations were made by the general con-
tractors, the Warren Construction Co. of Chicago, promptly
and satisfactorily, but the failure of the Library Bureau to com-
plete the installation of its stacks until long after its limit of
time prevented the Library from having full use of the new
space until the middle of October. The most important results
obtained were the establishment of a public catalogue room in
an alcove opening out of the Reading Room next to the delivery
desk, the addition of twenty chairs to the capacity of the Read-
ing Room, additional space for the cataloguing staff and for
readers in the stacks, shelving for about 85,000 more volumes,
and storage room for duplicates and the stock of printed cards.
At the same time, the Reading Room was repainted and the
Cloak Room remodeled.
Although in use only a few weeks, the gain in convenience
from these changes is marked. Especially has the bringing of
the Gerritsen and Ely collections to the main library resulted
in a far larger use of these books and pamphlets. The removal
of the catalogues from the Reading Room has done away with
the disturbance of readers occasioned by their use, without at
all affecting the usefulness or accessibility of the catalogues.
Without the seats thus gained it would not have been possible
to accommodate on Saturday afternoons all those who have
used the Reading Room.
Advantage has been taken of the opportunity to study
experimentally certain points in the arrangement of the stacks
with reference to the plans for the permanent building. Sam-
ples of seven different styles of stacks have been installed, which r
with the three forms of the Library Bureau, one of which fur-
nishes the greater part of the space, make ten styles of which
actual experience will have been had. For the same pur-
pose the width of the aisles between the stacks has been varied
\
1 6 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
from 3 feet to 2 feet 3 inches. The method of lighting is also
more or less an experiment. It consists of a row of lights
in the center of each aisle, about 4 feet 6 inches apart, controlled
by a switch at the end of the stack. These lights are to be
turned off except when some one wishes to enter the aisle.
Only the main corridors will be lighted continuously. While
it is not desirable to form opinions prematurely on the points
mentioned, it may be said that experience so far indicates that
this method is more convenient and also more economical
than those in use in the older stacks.
Huntington W. Jackson Collection. In accordance with the
vote of the Directors, the income of the bequest of Huntington
W. Jackson is to be used for the formation of a collection on
constitutional law instead of international law, as at first deter-
mined. The change has been made because the Law School of
Northwestern University will include the latter subject in its
Gary Collection. The subject is one of interest to students of
political and economic science as well as to lawyers, and is
not adequately treated in the other public libraries of the city.
The whole collection of the Library on the subject will bear
Col. Jackson's name, and those books actually purchased from
the income of the fund will have a special book-plate. In all
other respects they will be treated as an integral part of the
Library. Thus, there will be no inconvenience whatever to
readers, while fitting acknowledgment will have been made of
the indebtedness of the Library to its second president and for
the first addition to its endowment.
The purchase of the year from the accumulated income of
the fund was a small but valuable collection of proceedings of
earlier constitutional conventions of the Central States. Among
them was a copy of the State Register, of Springfield, 111., for
June to September, 1847, containing the debates of the Consti-
tutional Convention of that year. This is the only form in
which they were published, and complete files are of great rarity.
The total number of books in the collection is now about 350.
Routine. Few changes in routine have been made. The
most important are those caused by the establishment of the
Department of Medical Sciences, and unfortunately, for reasons
already stated, these have not been fully carried out. It is

intended, however, to make the department an integral part of
the Library, using its present records and catalogues, but recast-
ing them to agree with those adopted for the main Library.
Already something has been accomplished in avoiding unneces-
sary duplication and in completing sets of periodical publications
by mutual transfers. The most important general change is
also due in part to this acquisition. It and the Ely and Ger-
ritsen purchases have made impossible a strict adherence to the
policy of binding immediately all pamphlet material of any per-
manent value, while all three have also furnished a large number
of reprints, already catalogued, at least under the name of the
author, and classified. These are altogether too valuable to be
discarded, although hitherto the Library has not attempted to
collect such material. A modification of the previous practice
has seemed desirable, and such material will now be kept. If
from works in the Library, or intended to be added, they will
not be shelved as independent books, but kept in pamphlet
boxes in a fully classified arrangement. If a number of them,
or of minor pamphlets not reprints, deal with so special a topic,
e. g., Street railways of Chicago, Railway rate legislation in
the United States, that no further logical subdivision is probable,
they may be bound in a volume of convenient size and cata-
logued in one entry with full contents note.
Attendance. The total number of visitors recorded during
the year was 101,839 and the daily average 321, an increase of
ten per cent over the figures for 1905, which were 92,244 and
296 respectively. Almost all of this increase is due, however,
to the inclusion of the attendance at the Department of Medical
Sciences from February 7th. Without this the figures would
have been 93,834 and 300, an increase of not quite two per cent.
The smallness of this increase is undoubtedly due, in large part,
to accidental causes, such as the disturbance caused by making
the changes in the Reading Room and the carelessness of the
attendant at one time in charge of the record. The figures for
November and December make it probable that a further in-
crease in the attendance will occur, but it is also probable that,
even with the new accommodations, the limit of usefulness of the
rooms will be reached before the end of the present lease.
The inaccuracy of the register of visitors was recognized at
i8 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
the time it occurred, but it would also have been shown by the
otherwise inexplicable variations in the monthly records, in the
ratio of day to evening attendance, and in the ratio of calls to
visitors. The average evening attendance at the main library
has increased thirteen, from 58 to 71, and that at the Department
of Medical Sciences has been 7, making a total of 78. The
proportion of day to evening is practically the same in both. As
recorded, the average day attendance at the main library has
decreased nine. The Department of Medical Sciences is not
open when the Newberry Library is closed, namely, on New
Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving,
Christmas Eve and Day, New Year's Eve, and the first two
weeks in August. Therefore', the figures for the attendance on
the five most generally observed holidays are not affected by the
establishment of this department. They show an average of
120, as against 152 in 1905, but the comparison should rather be
with the 1 06 of 1903, the last year in which none of them fell on
a Sunday. The smallest attendance on any single day was 75,
on July 4th; and the largest, 541, on March I7th. The figures
for 1905 were 89 and 575 respectively.
Use. The conditions, and consequently the records, of the
use of books and periodicals at the Department of Medical
Sciences in some points are so different from those at the
main library as to affect materially a comparison of the figures
of recorded use. At the main library record is made of the calls
for books from the stacks and for current periodicals taken
outside the periodical alcove, but no record is kept of the
use of books shelved in the Reading Room, of those read in the
stacks, or of current periodicals read within the periodical
alcove. Two series of careful observations have agreed in
showing that the unrecorded use is almost exactly twice the
recorded use. At the Department of Medical Sciences the
use of practically all books is recorded, but no record is kept
of the use of current periodicals. To make an exact record
of this would either inconvenience the readers or cost more
than it would be worth, but it may be feasible to determine
sufficiently closely its ratio to the number of visitors. Mean-
while it seems best to ignore this factor, considerable as it is,
and add the total recorded use at the Department of Medical
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 19
Sciences to three times that at the main library in order to obtain
the total use of the Library. According to this computation,
it has been, for the year 1906, 308,000 books and periodicals,
as against 250,000 in 1905, an increase of 23 per cent.
Even without the new department, the increase in the num-
ber of calls for books has been marked. The figures for the
year are 75,386, or a daily average of 241, as against 27,386 and
216 in 1905, an increase of 12 percent. On the other hand, the
recorded use of periodicals shows some decrease and the admis-
sions to the stack a very small increase.
A detailed classification of the call slips for books and peri-
odicals and of admissions to the stack is given in the second
table of library statistics. The following table gives a compari-
son of the totals and percentages for each department with the
corresponding figures for 1905 :

While the addition of the new department deprives the per-
centages of significance in the comparison, it will be seen from
the figures of total recorded use that every department shows a
substantial increase, which is, indeed, practically proportionate.
The calls for books on each special subject are larger in every
case except ten, and the decrease is considerable in only one,
library economy. On the other hand, the only remarkable
increases are of one-half in philosophy and law. Notwith-
standing this general increase, two changes occur in the list of
leading subjects. Medicine takes first place, and political
economy replaces history and geography, so that the first six
are as follows: medicine, engineering, physics, trade and trans-
portation, chemical technology, political economy.
Of the admissions to the stack, 1292 have been by registra-
tion and 398 on presentation of 32 passes. Two additional
20 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
passes have been granted, making 84 nominally in force. The
extension to the new department of the policy of the Library
in regard to this matter has been considered, but is not recom-
mended for two reasons : because it is contrary to the policy
of the Newberry Library, and because there are no
facilities for the convenient use of books in the stack. The
officials in charge, however, have been instructed to grant the
privilege in exceptional cases.
The record of loans for use outside the Library has been
made more detailed. It shows that 44 requests for such loans
from individuals were granted and 46 from libraries. Five
requests from libraries were refused, one because the book asked
for was too valuable to be risked in transportation and the
others because the books were likely or certain to be wanted.
Only two cases occurred in which a book loaned was asked for
during its absence. In a very few cases reminders were sent
that the book had not been returned when due, but almost all
were returned promptly and with thanks for the favor.
In one respect the additional space has affected disadvanta-
geously the service of the Library. The longer average distance
of the books from the delivery desk necessarily makes longer
the average time required to fill calls. This effect has been
increased by the many errors in reshelving, excusable because of
inexperience and interruptions in the work. Even with these
allowances there has been an unexpectedly large increase in the
number of calls which could not be filled by the attendants and
were filled by the officials in charge of the Reading Room only
after more or less of a search. It is hoped that the completion
of the inventory and a diminution of the arrears of routine
work may permit a material improvement in future.
Considering only those calls filled by the regular attendants,
the time has been calculated from those for the month of
November. The average was 2.51 minutes, and 74 per cent
were filled within three minutes. The figures for 1905 were 1.71
and 83 respectively. While the increase is to be regretted the
service can hardly be considered poor, and there is reason to
believe that the present conditions are as unfavorable as those
of the permanent building, as planned, would be with a million
volumes.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 21
The question of how far a library -fails to meet demands
which it is supposed to be able to meet is rarely treated statisti-
cally, and yet it would seem that such a presentation might be
of value, either as a proof of the accidental character of such
failures, or as a warning in case they are not accidental, and in
any case as an incentive to make them as few as possible. Be-
ginning in July, therefore, a record has been kept of the number
of calls for books supposed to be in the Library which were not
filled, and the reasons for the failure. The record is as follows:
In use by another reader, 125 ; at bindery, 116; misshelved, 84;
withdrawn from general circulation, 30; stored at Newberry
Library, 95 ; temporarily stored during alterations, 130; total,
580. While the refusal of even one reader is to be regretted,
except for the fourth reason, it is, on the whole, assuring to learn
that the total is only 1.33 per cent of the calls made. More-
over, the last two causes of failure were temporary and have
now been removed. Their injurious effect, however, is only
partly indicated by the figures, for these refer only to calls made
for particular books given in the catalogue, while no record was
made of the many times that a reader asking for information
on a subject had to be sent away unsatisfied. Even so, the fact
that the storage of a fifth of the library, selected as least likely
to be called for, was responsible for one-sixth of the refusals
for all reasons is a strong confirmation of the undesirability of
storage.
Publications. In May the Library issued its Eleventh An-
nual Report, a pamphlet of 57 pages, of which the usual edition
of 4, poo copies was printed and the greater part distributed.
Besides the usual matter it contained a portrait and memorial
of the late Marshall Field and the Ordinance Concerning The
John Crerar Library, passed by the South Park Commissioners,
February 15, 1905, and accepted by The John Crerar Library
February 23, 1905.
In April there was issued the second edition of the Supple-
ment to the List of Serials in Public Libraries of Chicago and
Evanston, a volume of 220 pages. This edition of the Supple-
ment contains the holdings of nineteen libraries, and is larger than
the original list. There are given entries for some 8,460 serials
and 1,310 references. Of these entries 2,020 are unaltered
22 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
from the first edition of the Supplement, 2,020 are corrected
entries from it, 1,270 are corrected entries from the original list,
and 3,150 are new. The original list still contains 3,540 entries
not reprinted, so that the two volumes record 12,000 serials.
Bound and issued with this, and also printed in a small
separate edition, was the second edition of A Bibliography of
Union Lists of Serials, compiled by Mr. A. G. S. Josephson,
the Cataloguer of the Library. The first edition of this bibliog-
raphy was published in 1899, in the Proceedings of the Ameri-
can Library Association, and contained 25 entries. This second
edition is a pamphlet of 28 pages and contains 65 entries,
arranged geographically, with index of places and chronological
table.
The following table shows the distribution of the publica-
tions:

In accordance with a vote of the Directors, complete sets of
the publications of the Library were bound and presented to
the San Francisco Public Library, the Mechanics-Mercantile
Library of San Francisco, and the Library of the University of
Idaho, to replace losses by earthquake and fire.
As will be seen from the table, the List of Books in the
Reading Room is now out of print, and the second edition will
be issued as soon as possible. Meanwhile, material for the List
of Histories of Science is accumulating as the result of orders
for quite a number of important works. The preparation of
a handbook of the Library has been authorized, and will be
begun at once.

versity, Princeton University, University of Chicago, University
of Illinois, and University of Michigan, and of a selection to the
American Institute of Mining Engineers and the U. S. Geologi-
cal Survey, has been continued. Large orders have been filled
for all those institutions mentioned in previous reports, and also
for the Library Association of Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis
Public Library, University of Chicago, University of Oklahoma,
and the Wisconsin Library Commission. The Library of the
U. S. Engineer School has been added to the exchange list for
a selection. In all, 23,832 cards have been sold or sent in ex-
change, and 680 have been given away. From the Library of
Congress there have been received in exchange 52,084 cards,
making a total of 259,007 now in the depository catalogue.
Selection and Ordering. The selection of titles to be ordered
has been kept up to date, but the ordering itself has fallen still
farther behind. This is in part due to unusual interruptions
in the services of the assistants in charge, in a small degree to
the occurrence of three notable auction sales of scientific books,
the first for several years, but largely to the reduction in the
appropriation for books, which forbade an earnest attempt to
make up the arrears. It is to be hoped that none of these
reasons will prevent a substantial improvement in the situation
in 1907.
Notwithstanding the interruptions mentioned above, the
amount of work accomplished is greater than for several years.
The number of orders given is 8,667. Of these, 358 failed or
were canceled, leaving 8,309 valid orders, covering 59,535 vol-
umes and pamphlets, at an estimate cost of $87,483.92. Of
outstanding orders, 6, 5 50 were filled, covering 40,808 volumes at
a cost of $86,305.61. There are left outstanding 3,643 orders
at an estimate cost of $5,375.82 ; of these, 962 were given before
January i, 1906. The distribution of the orders of the year
and of the total to the end of 1906 is shown in the second table
of library statistics.
Accessions. The total accessions for 1906 have been 54,684,
of which 13,876 have been received as gifts and 40,808 obtained
by purchase. Volumes made by binding serials and about
500 entered from the Gerritsen collection are included in these
figures. There have been withdrawn'275 volumes, leaving the
24 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
net accessions for the year 54,469, which, with the 142,971
reported for 1905, make a total now on the books of 197,440.
To these should be added the 30,000 pamphlets in the Depart-
ment of Medical Sciences, some 1,500 volumes and 13,000
pamphlets not yet entered from the Gerritsen collection, about
4,000 pamphlets from the Ely collection, a collection of Canadian
documents, and about 11,000 pamphlets of minor importance,
making a total, exclusive of duplicates, of 200,000 volumes and
58,000 pamphlets. With the exceptions just named, the work
of the Receiving Room is up to date. The following table shows

The percentages have been calculated for the classified books
only. They have been altered very greatly by the establish-
ment of the new department, but actually the growth of the
Library, apart from this special purchase, has been quite sym-
metrical.
The periodicals currently received for use in the periodical
alcove are 2,159, of which 364 are received as gifts and 1,795 by
subscription at an estimated yearly cost of $6,054.43. To these
should be added 389 received at the Department of Medical
Sciences, of which 30 are received as gifts and 359 by
subscription at an estimated yearly cost of $1,248,78. Their
classification is shown in the second table of library statistics.
The assistant in charge of the Continuation Record reports
714 titles added to the list and 178 withdrawn, leaving 5,170
at the end of the year. About 2,000 were obtained by sub-
scription, at a cost of $^,235.91. These furnished 972 entries \3
on the record of accessions. The other continuations were
received as gifts or in exchange, and furnished 68 1 entries.
Some idea of the need of this record may be formed from the
number of requests and notices which had to be sent in order to
.REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 25
prevent losses. For the gifts no fewer than 425 first and 48
second requests were sent, and five were reported to the
Librarian for personal letters. Those received by purchase
required almost as much attention, for 231 first and 43 second
notifications were sent, and 24 were reported to the Librarian.
The regular purchases of the year are insignificant in com-
parison with that of the Medical Department of the Newberry
Library. Still, there may be mentioned a collection of 388
volumes and pamphlets on Amsterdam, formed for the Library
by the late C. V. Gerritsen; a selection of pamphlets on Ameri-
can economic history from the library of the late David H.
Mason; a collection of 160 directories of 1905 and 1906; a set of
all topographical maps of the United States Geological Survey
in print; and of individual works, a complete set, to date, of
Grandidier's Madagascar, and the copy of the State Register,
already mentioned. The list of files of serials completed
includes: Allgemeines Garten-Magazin, American architect,
Antiquarian magazine, Archiv der naturwissenschaftlichen
Landesdurchforschnng von Bohmen, Archiv der Pharmazie,
Archiv fur Geschichte des Deutschen Buchhandels, Beitrage zur
Statistik des Herzogthums Braunschweig, Chemisch-tecniscJies
Repertorium, Electricien, Entomologische Nachrichten, Ingenieur,
Inland architect, Moniteur scientifique, Memoir es de la Societe
des sciences de la Creuse, Naturhistorisk tidsskrift, Philadelphia
photographer, Railway magazine, Telegrapher.
The large gifts of the year were so many that in some cases
the number of pieces in them could only be estimated. Taking
these in round numbers, there were received 9,130 volumes and
3,525 pamphlets from 1,432 donors, and 3,187 volumes have
been entered on the record of accessions. The figures for 1905
were 9,180 volumes and pamphlets, 1,156 donors, and 2,497
entries.
Apart from the Senn Collection, which is not included in the
above figures and which would add 10,689 volumes and 14,501
pamphlets to the total, the most notable gifts are as follows:
No. 28 of the edition of 100 copies of the sumptuous work on
Investigations and Studies in Jade, presented by the Estate of
the late Heber R. Bishop; a set of the publications of the
Swedish Riksdag, from the Government; a collection of early
26 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
agricultural reports and papers from Mrs. Cyrus H. McCormick;
collections of state documents of Kansas from the Kansas Histori-
cal Society, and of Nebraska from the University of Nebraska;
and a very welcome donation of 37 volumes of United States
documents to fill gaps in our files, from the University of Chi-
cago. At the Department of Medical Sciences have been
received from Dr. Senn for the Senn Collection 236 volumes,
645 pamphlets and 5 manuscripts; from Dr. Charles Adams 123
volumes for the same collection; from Drs. J. N. and W. C.
Danforth, 256 volumes; from Dr. J. W. O'Neil, 1,350 numbers
of medical journals; from Mr. E. E. Ayer, through The New-
berry Library, 34 pamphlets on medical subjects from the
Philippines; and, too late in the year for examination, the
library of the Chicago Medical Society, in 28 boxes.
Duplicates. The storage room now available has given
access to the considerable accumulation of duplicates. An
attempt has been made to systematize their disposal by sale or
exchange. The arrangement has proved especially opportune,
because not only did the purchase from the Newberry Library
include many duplicates, especially in the subjects allied to
medicine, but also the San Francisco disaster made possible the
disposal, with mutual advantage, of a large number to the
Mechanics-Mercantile Library of that city.
Some 900 volumes have been sent already to that Library,
and bills for $965. 73 rendered. Another large consignment is
'to follow. Besides this largest sale, others bring up the total
to 1,240 pieces for $1,355.73. 1 exchange, consignments
have been sent to the Peabody Institute, University of Michi-
gan, University of Nebraska, and University of Upsala, a total
of 131 pieces, valued at $101.60, and there have been received
from the same institutions a total of 298 pieces, valued at
$242.13.
In accordance with the vote of the Directors, arrangements
have been nearly completed for the shipment of a large number
of medical duplicates as a gift to the Medical Library of San
Francisco. It should be added that no charge was made for
any book asked for by the Mechanics-Mercantile Library which
had been received by this Library as a gift.
Inventory. The reshelving of the books during and after
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 27
the alterations in the stack rooms was necessarily the work of
many hands. The inevitable misplacements were so many that
a new inventory was begun as soon as possible. At the end of
the year it had covered about one-third of the main library, so
far as shelf-listed. No systematic search for books not in their
places has been made as yet, but 32 serious misplacements have
been corrected. Six books reported missing in 1905 have beeu
found, one of them having been missing since 1899. The
monthly inventories of the books in the Reading Room have
detected the loss of eighteen volumes and the return of four
reported missing in 1905, making the net loss for the year four-
teen as against thirteen in 2905.
Of 58 periodicals, 47 numbers have been lost and 42 mutila-
tions detected; all but seven have been replaced. The annoy-
ance and Joss occasioned by these offenses are serious, but,
except in individual cases, not enough so to justify a change
in the policy of allowing unrestricted access. It may be found
desirable to increase the number of periodicals which, because
of -the peculiar temptations they offer, are loaned only upon
written calls. No losses or mutilations have occurred during
the year among those so limited.
Binding. On January I, 1906, there were at the bindery
1,264 volumes, and 8,462 were sent during the year; 48 were
returned as incomplete, and 8,561 bound; leaving 1,142 at the
bindery December 31 } 1906. Besides these, 872 volumes were
bound at the Newberry Library, making a total of 9,433 vol-
umes. The cost of binding was $10,395.27, an average of
$1.10 per volume. This is a decrease of thirteen cents per
volume from the average of last year and would indicate that
the plan of the Assistant Librarian for a somewhat greater
employment of cloth bindings has been successful in diminish-
ing the average cost. The total expense is considerably below
the amount estimated at the beginning of the year. This is
not due to an overestimate of the work to be done, but rather
to inability to send it to the binder on account of the delay in
occupying the additional space, and of the postponement of the
routine work at the Department of Medical Sciences.
Catalogues. The amount of work accomplished by the
cataloguing staff is the largest for several years, and more assist-
28 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
ance has been obtained from the Library of Congress than ever
before. As a result the old arrears have decreased substantially,
and a beginning has been made upon the Gerritsen collection.
All volumes added to the Department of Medical Sciences by
purchase since its acquisition have been catalogued in regular
routine. It is planned to use the Library of Congress cards as
much as possible for the back work in both these lines.
The Cataloguer reports that during the year 5,146 new
titles have been prepared for print; 149 new titles typewrit-
ten; 82 old typewritten titles prepared for print; 3,399 titles
received from the Library of Congress have been classified for
the catalogues ; 484 titles have been prepared for the co-opera-
tive analysis of serials. The total number of titles treated by
the Cataloguer and Classifier and their assistants has been
9,848, an increase of 1,292 over 1905. The titles reprinted in cor-
rection of errors were 19, and for other alterations 725. Cards
for 5,152 new titles and 781 reprinted titles were received from
the printer, electrotypes for 163 new titles and 449 reprinted
titles from the electrotypers. The total number of separate titles
prepared for print to date is 53,226; of sets of cards received,
52,624; of electrotypes, 36,298.
The number of orders sent to the Library of Congress on
triplicate order sheets was 7,765, and reports were received
on 6,787, leaving 978 outstanding. There were cards for 1,773
titles on hand January I, 1906; 4,141 were received during the
year and 6 were taken from the file of those previously with-
drawn; cards for 3,399 were used, and for 366 withdrawn from
the file, leaving those for 2,155 on hand December 31. Of those
withdrawn 17 titles had been replaced by the Library of Con-
gress in correction of errors without charge, 128 showed such
differences in cataloguing that they could not be used, for 178 the
books could not be obtained, and 20 were duplicates. The total
loss is not likely to exceed six per cent. Of the 4,141 titles
received, 651 were analytical titles from 168 serial publications.
The work of the Library in the co-operative analysis of
serials has been brought up to date. It has supplied 484 titles
and has received cards for 2,944 at a net cost of $56.45. Of the
2,944 titles, 481 have been filed in the public card catalogues,
one copy of 1,702 in the official catalogue, 73 have been sold.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 29
The transfer of the classification records of the earlier titles
to the present form in the official catalogue has been continued.
About one-quarter of the work has been done.
The topographical index has been incorporated in the public
classed catalogue. Its 30,400 cards and the 25,500 filed in
regular routine make an addition of 55,990 cards to this cata-
logue, which now contains some 72,000 titles on 190,000 cards,
an average of 2.63 cards per title; 13,400 cards have been filed
in the author catalogue, which now contains the same 72,000
titles on 121,400 cards, an average of 1.69 cards per title; 1,060
guides and 4,471 cards have been added to the subject index,
which now contains 17,400 guides and 20,900 cards covering
42,800 titles, an average of 0.49 cards per title. The distribu-
tion of the entries in the classed catalogue is shown in the
second table of library statistics. Advantage has been taken of
the analytical cards of the Library of Congress for government
publications, both federal and state, to form an index which
is intended to refer special students to valuable sources of infor-
mation without overloading the main catalogue. There are, at
present 6,583 cards filed in this index.
Of the 72,000 titles in the public catalogues about 52,000
are on cards printed by the library, about 13,000 on Library of
Congress cards, and about 7,000 on A. L. A. co-operative
cards.

Librarian, and unofficially by three other members of the staff
at the annual meeting of the American Library Association at
Narragansett Pier, R. I., June 29 to July 6; and unofficially by
the Librarian at the annual meeting of the New York Library
Association at Twilight Park, September 29 and 30.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
To THE GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS:
In accordance with the provisions of an act entitled: "An
Act to encourage and promote the establishment of free public
libraries in cities, villages and towns in this state," approved
June 17, 1891, under which this corporation is organized, the
Directors of The John Crerar Library submit their thirteenth
annual report, for the year 1907.
The Board has lost by the death of Albert Keep, on May n,
1907, another of the original members named by Mr. Crerar. Mr.
Keep gave faithful and efficient service to the Library as a mem-
ber of the Committee on Finance from the beginning. The
vacancy has not yet been filled, so that the Board is now com-
posed of the following persons: E. W. Blatchford, Robert T.
Lincoln, Henry W. Bishop, John M. Clark, Frank S. Johnson,
Peter Stenger Grosscup, Marvin Hughitt, Thomas D. Jones,
John J. Mitchell, Leonard A. Busby, Robert Forsyth, and
Chauncey Keep, together with Fred A. Busse, Mayor of
Chicago, and Walter H. Wilson, Comptroller, ex-officio
members.
The officers of the Library are as follows: President, Peter
Stenger Grosscup; First Vice-President, Henry W. Bishop;
Second Vice-President, Thomas D. Jones; Secretary, Leonard
A. Busby; Treasurer, William J. Louderback; Librarian,
Clement W. Andrews.
Further proceedings in the matter of the permanent building
have been delayed by the litigation now pending in the Superior
Court between the South Park Commissioners, the Field Museum
of Natural History, and Mr. A. Montgomery Ward, by which the
Commissioners hope to establish their right to erect park build-
ings on Grant Park. Meanwhile the Board has made arrange-
ments with the Marshall Field & Co. Building which permit
8 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
a more complete utilization of the space now occupied by the
Library. This has made possible the accommodation of the
medical collection acquired in 1906 from the Newberry Library,
and the transfer was made in August and September. The
expense and trouble have been fully justified, for the use of the
collection has more than doubled.
The pleasure felt by the Board in this result is clouded by
the untimely death of Dr. Nicholas Senn, who felt a deep interest
in the department, which contains the valuable collection made
by him. The special reading room for the medical sciences has
been named the Senn Room, in recognition of his gift and of his
interest in the Library.
The acquisitions for the year are above the average, and,
together with the transfer mentioned, have notably increased
the usefulness of the institution. The total use has been
nearly 330,000 volumes and periodicals; and it has been
frequented by 109,700 visitors, an average of 351 a day and
an increase of 7,800 over 1906. The Library now contains
215,000 volumes and 60,000 pamphlets, and receives currently
2,725 periodicals and 5,844 other serial publications. For
further details reference is made to the appended report of the
Librarian.
The report of the Treasurer, also appended, presents the
statement of the income and expenditures for the year 1907,
together with a statement of the assets and investments as
required by law.
Respectfully submitted,
PETER S. GROSSCUP,
President.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY :
Gentlemen: The transfer of the Department of Medical
Sciences from the Newberry Library Building to the main
Library and its incorporation with the latter have not only
increased the demands upon the staff because of the increased
use of the collection, but have also materially affected the inter-
nal administration of the Library. Moreover, the delays in
completing the work of fitting up the space devoted to the de-
partment proved serious drawbacks to the regular work. The
doubling of the usefulness of the Department, however, is ample
recompense for these inconveniences.
The year is further marked by the passing of another mile-
stone, for in February the 2OO,oooth volume was entered in
the records.
Rooms. The alterations in the temporary quarters of the
library made to accommodate the Department of Medical Sci-
ences required a much longer time and were otherwise more
disturbing than had been anticipated. While the Senn Room
was opened on the day set, August iQth, it was not completely
furnished for several weeks after; and while the moving of the
books was begun at the time set by the architects, so little of
the equipment was ready to receive them that the resulting
inconvenience was almost intolerable.
The alterations once made, however, have served their pur-
pose even better than could have been expected and show how
the Library, by comparatively slight additions and modifications,
can be housed comfortably for several years to come. The prin-
cipal changes were authorized by the Board at their April meet-
ing and consisted in the insertion of a mezzanine floor over a
portion of the fifth floor and the establishment of a special read-
ing room for the Department of Medical Sciences on the sixth
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 13
floor, accessible through the main reading room. The mezza-
nine floor is of steel and glass, not attached to the columns of
the building but resting on brackets bolted to the columns. It
carries a stack of the usual height and capacity. Most of the
additional stack is of the same style as that previously used but
an important economy has been secured by the use, with the
permission of the Newberry Library, of much of the stack from
the former quarters of the Department. About 2,600 square
feet of the floor have been put in and this area can be increased
to about 10,000 square feet.
The new reading room, to be known as the Senn Room, in
honor of Dr. Senn, contains eight reading tables with seats for
forty readers, about 45 feet of wall cases, 96 feet of double
stack, and the necessary accommodations for those in charge.
It is fitted in dark oak and painted to harmonize with the main
reading room.
In connection with these changes a considerable shift of the
old stacks was made, allowing the insertion of quite a number
of additional sections and at the same time concentrating the
routine work of the Library. A minor change in the method of
lighting the new stacks has proved a distinct improvement.
Department of Medical Sciences. As has already been
stated, the transfer of the Department and its incorporation in
the main Library have greatly affected its development and its
routine. Independently of this consolidation, however, the
appointment as Medical Reference Librarian of Dr. Alfred C.
Girard, Brigadier-General U. S. A., retired, has had a most im-
portant effect. He has brought to the work expert medical and
bibliographical knowledge, and within a short time has increased
largely the usefulness of the Department to the medical profes-
sion. A working collection, containing already over 1,000 vol-
umes, of the newer reference and text books has been formed
and made available to readers without formality. The list of
periodicals subscribed for has been enlarged. The books in the
Senn Collection, hitherto arranged in a most haphazard fashion,
are being temporarily classified and made available. This work
will be extended next to the pamphlets and will serve as a basis
for the complete cataloguing, which should be undertaken as soon
as possible. Moreover, the development of the Department by
14 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
regular purchases of the new books should now receive the same
attention as that of the older departments of the Library.
The new quarters have given satisfactory service. The
amount of space for each reader is not so large as in the main
reading room but there is less occasion for passing behind
readers, so that the discomfort is less than it would be with a
different arrangement of the tables and wall cases.
With minor exceptions, the routine of the Department has
been brought into agreement with that of the main Library.
The use of books in the Senn Room is without formality, as is
also that of the current periodicals; the other books are drawn
through the Delivery Desk; persons engaged in special research
are admitted to the stacks; either the methods of routine work,
such as accessioning and cataloguing, have been made identical
with those of the main Library, or the work itself has been
taken over. Before the removal some 11,000 volumes of bound
periodicals were classified, shelf-listed, and shelf-marked accord-
ing to the Decimal Classification, and this work will be continued
as fast as possible. Meanwhile the books have been placed on
the stacks in a parallel arrangement with the Decimal Classifica-
tion below and the Newberry Classification above, the order of
the general subjects of the latter being altered to bring them
over the corresponding divisions of the former. This has the
double advantage of accommodating readers who have access to
the shelves and of diminishing the amount of shifting required
as books are reclassified.
The record of attendance in the Senn Room for November
shows more than twice as many readers as in the old rooms for
the same month in 1906. As important, however, is the fact
that the increase is proportionally greater in the use of books
than in the use of current periodicals, though the change in re-
cording the use of books prevents its measurement. It is rea-
sonable to suppose that this use will continue to increase, but
even now it is enough to demand increased attendance and a
better method of communication between desks and stacks.
Senn Collection. This collection was removed with the rest
of the Department of Medical Sciences. The books have been
placed on the shelves of the Senn Room, and the pamphlets
given a separate tier in the collection of pamphlets. As has
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 15
been stated the books are being classified and made available to
readers. To make the collection of the greatest use, however,
much more should be done to it than is possible with the present
staff. The pamphlets should be classified and should have at
least author entry in the official catalogue. The books and im-
portant pamphlets should be regularly treated for the public
catalogues. The recent acquisitions should be accessioned and
catalogued. Considerable binding and some rebinding should be
done. ,
The recent death of Dr. Senn makes it even more desirable
that this collection, which will form a permanent memorial of his
life, services, and love of learning, should be put into the best
condition as soon as possible. It is pleasant to report that the
plans for its improvement proposed by the Librarian and the
Medical Reference Librarian had his cordial approval, expressed
in writing only a short time before his death. The plans propose
to substitute for such material as is not germane to the subject
of medicine an equivalent value from the Newberry collection,
giving first place to surgery and medical botany, two subjects in
which the collection is now very strong. Dr. Senn's continued
interest in the collection was well illustrated by the notable
addition he made during the year. He purchased from the
bookseller E. Geibel, of Hanover, everything in his stock of
medical works which was not already in the John Crerar Library.
The total purchase amounted to 894 items, many of which are
out of print and scarce. The shipment was not received until
late in the year and has not been accessioned so that no report
can be made as yet of the actual number of volumes and
pamphlets or of the total contents of the Senn Collection. When
these acquisitions shall have been entered, and the plans men-'
tioned carried out, a great gain both in size and usefulness will
be apparent.
In this connection it may be added that the Senn Club has
deposited with the Library a life-size bust of Dr. Senn. This
has been placed iu the Senn Room to await the decision of the
Club as to its final disposition.
Routine. Perhaps the most important change in routine has
been the adoption of a more flexible schedule of hours for the
day staff. A total of 42 hours a week is now required, except-
16 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
ing holidays and the summer vacation. Those who are not en-
gaged in the immediate service of the readers may vary their
hours from month to month, within certain limits. This priv-
lege, together with the actual lessening of the total time re-
quired, has made the conditions of service less irksome with-
out seriously affecting its efficiency.
Several changes have been caused by the incorporation of the
Department of Medical Sciences. The main library contained a
considerable number of works on human physiology and
anatomy, hygiene and public health, materia medica, and veter-
inary science, all of which are classed both by the Decimal
Classification and the Newberry Classification among the medi-
cal sciences, and on which there are many volumes in the New-
berry Collection and the Senn Collection. One important gain re-
sulting from the consolidation is the elimination of past and the
avoidance of future duplication in these subjects. The books
and pamphlets in the main library have been added to the De-
partment of Medical Sciences and the table of library statistics
altered to correspond.
Another change, due largely to the consolidation, is in the
shelving of the boxes of unbound pamphlets. Hitherto these
have been kept on the regular shelves as near as possible to
their place in the classification. While this method appears
theoretically the best, practically it has many inconveniences,
and the experiment of segregation has been tried. All pamphlet
material is now arranged on three tiers of the mezzanine stack.
It is perhaps too soon to decide the question finally, but so far
the results are quite satisfactory. The recent decision to keep
all reprints as unbound pamphlets makes the problem of their
treatment an important one.
The question of incomplete serials is one which troubles
libraries not a little. It is impossible to avoid an occasional gap
in the more important serials, and impracticable to avoid more
frequent gaps in the less valuable. The use of printed
catalogue cards complicates the matter. It does not seem worth
while to reprint the title for every gap occurring in serials of
minor importance, and so it has been decided to make a manu-
script entry on the main author cards in the public and the
official catalogues, and to stamp all other cards used with the
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 17
words: "Continuation irregular; for full statement see main
author card." For sets in which many volumes are incomplete
or missing, the printed card will contain a general statement of
the fact without giving details.
Attendance. The total number of visitors recorded during
the year was 109,677 and the daily average 351, an increase of
nine per cent over the figures for 1906, which were 101,839 an ^
321 respectively. The increase in attendance in the Depart-
ment of Medical Sciences, already mentioned, is not an impor-
tant factor in this increase for the reason that it did not occur
until late in the year, and that for about the same length o| time
the disturbance caused by the alterations and the transfer itself
kept the attendance at least an equal amount below the normal.
Therefore the figures noted above are a fair measure of the in-
crease of usefulness of the Library as a whole.
The evening attendance has increased from 71 to 74. Here
also the influence of the transfer is not noticeable, since the
evening attendance in the Senn Room is hardly larger than at
the Newberry, and is indeed so small as to suggest a rearrange-
ment of the supervising force.
A similarly small attendance in the Senn Room has been
noted on the three holidays on which it has been opened, while
the average attendance for the whole Library on the five general
holidays has risen from 120 to 130.
The smallest attendance on any one day was 105 on July 4th
and the largest 629 on December 7th. The increase over the
figures for 1906, which were 75 and 541 respectively, is remark-
able, but still more remarkable is the attendance of 5 10 recorded
on a Friday in November and of 547 on a Monday in December.
Hitherto the attendance on Saturdays has been invariably much
larger than for the other days of the same week.
In honor of the meetings of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science and the Bibliographical Society of
America, a small exhibit of the chief rarities of the Library,
including the sixteen incunabula of the Senn Collection, was
prepared. This was shown in the Directors' Room, from
December 30, 1907, to January 4, 1908, inclusive, and proved
to be quite an attraction. The total attendance was 227. Vis-
i8 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
itors to it were not recorded in the attendance at the Library
unless they entered the Reading Room.
Use. The difference in the methods of recording the use of
books and periodicals at the main library and at the Depart-
ment of Medical Sciences is responsible for a decrease in the
recorded use of books in the face of the increase in readers. As
stated in the report for 1906, at the main library the calls
for books from the stacks are recorded, though not the number
of volumes; but no record is kept of the use of books in the Read-
ing Room or of those read in the stacks. At the Department
of Medical Sciences, until its removal, the use of practically
every volume read was recorded. Since the removal the rules
of the main library have applied, and no record has been kept of
the use of books in the Senn Room, or of those used in the stacks.
As the Senn Room contains practically all the new medical
books, except serials, and as no record is kept of the very large
use of current medical periodicals, it is evident that proportion
of unrecorded to recorded use has been increased by the trans-
fer. Using, however, the same factor as in previous years and
applying it as for 1906, the total use of the Library for 1907
may be set at 328,000 books and periodicals, as against 308,000
in 1906, a gain of seven per cent.
Although a considerable number of periodicals have been
removed from the Periodical Alcove to the Senn Room, the
recorded use of periodicals shows an increase of 19 per cent,
and the admissions to the stacks one of 1 5 per cent.
A detailed classification of the call slips for books and peri-
odicals and of admissions to the stack is given in the second
table of library statistics. The following table gives a compari-

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 19
The decrease in the Medical Sciences has been explained ;
the small increase in the Applied Sciences is due to the transfer
of hygiene to the Medical Sciences. The calls for books on
each special subject are larger in every case but eleven, and the
decrease is significant in only one, being one-fifth in history and
geography. On the other hand, the only remarkable increases
are paleontology, nearly double; library economy, one-half;
mathematics and education, one-third. The first two simply
regain ground lost in previous years; the last two changes
appear to be really significant. The first six subjects are the
same and are in the same order as last year, namely: medicine,
engineering, physics, trade and transportation, chemical tech-
nology, political economy.
Of the admissions to the stack 1,321 have been by registration
and 623 on presentation of 30 passes. Seven additional passes
have been granted, and four given up, making 87 nominally in
force. A few of the 118 admissions credited to the Medical
Sciences were those in hygiene before the transfer, but the
greater part were those of the last three months, so that this
department promises to show for 1908 figures in keeping with
those for the other departments.
The loans for use outside the Library have increased remark-
ably. A considerable number of the books loaned were medical.
There were granted 129 requests from libraries and 51 from
individuals, and three requests from libraries were refused. In
view of the small proportion of the refusals and also of the fact
that in eleven cases the books loaned were asked for while out,
it would seem that the policy of the Directors has been carried
out liberally rather than the reverse.
Again a serious increase in the time required to fill calls has
to be noted. Some of the causes are the same as last year: for
instance, the confusion caused by alterations and by repeated
transfer of the books, and the removal of more books from the
sixth floor to the fifth. Two causes not previously considered
have had great influence. The first is the lack of a sufficient
number of cases to accommodate the books too large for the
regular shelves near their proper places; the second is the lack
of sufficient service at the Delivery Desk during the lunch
hours, which are some of the busiest hours of the day. It
20 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
is hoped that all these causes may be eliminated during the
next year. Considering only the calls rilled by the regular attend-
ants, the time has been calculated from the call-slips of the first
week in December. The average was 2.93 minutes and 76 per
cent were filled within four minutes. The figures for 1906 were
2.51 and 78 per cent respectively. The time required to fill
calls from the Senn Room is somewhat longer, the average
being 3.09 minutes, and only 65 per cent being filled within
four minutes. These figures show the desirability of some
mechanical means of communication between the Senn Room
and the Delivery Desk.
The record of failures to supply books called for which
should have been supplied has been continued. The results
follow: At bindery, 388; in use by another reader, 325; mis-
shelved, 276; withdrawn from general circulation, 75; tempo-
rarily stored during alterations, 73 ; missing from Reading Room,
56; error of attendants, 41; error of records, 3; books loaned
outside the Library, n; total 1,248. A comparison of these
figures for the whole year with those given in the last report
for six months is reassuring. The total is 1.47 per cent of the
total calls as against 1.33 then, while the conditions have been
even more trying.
Mention might be made, also, of the increasing use of the
telephone in the reference work of the Library. No record has
been kept, but the average number of calls is estimated to
exceed two a day.
Publications. In May the Library issued its Twelfth
Annual Report, a pamphlet of 64 pages, of which the usual
edition of 4,000 copies was printed and distributed. The list
of donors is increasing so fast that a larger number of copies
will have to be printed if the Library is to continue the distribu-
tion on the present lines. On December 3Oth there was issued
a List of Books Exhibited December jo, iyoj-January 4., 1908,
Including Incunabula and other Early Printed Books in the Senn
Collection, a pamphlet of 32 pages. It was chiefly intended to
serve as a guide to the exhibit, and was distributed gratuitously
to visitors and also at the headquarters of the American Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of Science. The incunabula cata-
logued are sixteen in number, nearly all of which were in the
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 21
library of Dr. Wilhelm Baum, of Gottingen, now a part of the
Senn Collection. On December 3Oth there was issued also a
Handbook of the Library, a pamphlet of 1 5 pages. Though this
was distributed with the list just mentioned, it was prepared
chiefly as a convenient means of answering the questions fre-
quently asked about the history, present condition, and plans for
the future of the Library. It is a revision and extension of a
sketch prepared by the Librarian and published in 1905 in the
Chicago Library Club's Libraries of Chicago.
The following table shows the distribution of the publica-
tions:

The transfer of so many medical periodicals from the New-
berry Library, aud especially from its building, makes a revised
edition of the List of Serials in Public Libraries of Chicago
a necessity if it is to keep its value as a work of reference. If
the Directors approve, this will be undertaken in 1908, and the
second edition of the List of Books in the Reading Room, already
authorized, will be issued as soon as possible.
The distribution of one copy of each catalogue card to the
Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago Public Library, Field
Museum of Natural History, Library of Congress, Northwestern
University, Princeton University, University of Chicago, Uni-
versity of Illinois, and University of Michigan, and of a selection
to the American Institute of Mining Engineers and the U. S.
Geological Survey, has been continued. Orders have been
received from many of the institutions mentioned in previous
reports and in addition a complete set of all titles since 1905 has
been sold to the Bureau of Science, Manila. In all, 66,670
22 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
cards have been sent to the depository libraries, 87 given away,
and 34,813 sold or sent in exchange. From the Library of
Congress there have been received in exchange 47,951 cards,
making a total of 306,958 in the depository catalogue.
Selection and Ordering. The selection of titles to be or-
dered is nearly up to date, but the ordering has fallen behind
still more, and it is evident that there must be either a change of
policy as to the scope of the purchases or else a considerable
increase in the appropriations for books and for salaries. The
addition of medicine to the list of subjects to be covered con-
firms this necessity. It is possible that after the suspense
account for the purchase of the Department of Medical Sciences
has been extinguished, the present appropriation for books
would suffice to buy all new works of value within the scope of
the Library, and a reasonable proportion of the older material
which is needed, but this cannot be done with nearly one-quarter
of the appropriation unavailable. The amount of work accom-
plished in building up the Library has been limited by this fact,
for it would have been easy to give many more orders than
were actually given. Nevertheless, by cancelling a number
of unsuccessful orders of previous years it was found possible,
without exceeding the appropriation, to give 9,932 orders. Of
these, 994 failed or were cancelled, leaving 8,938 valid orders,
covering 13,218 volumes at an estimated cost of $18,911.10.
Of outstanding orders 9, 285 were filled, covering 14,687 volumes
at a cost of $22,901.40. There are left outstanding 3,296
orders at an estimated cost of $2,060.52; of these 1,088 were
given before January I, 1907. The distribution of the orders
of the year and of the total to the end of 1907, is shown in the
second table of library statistics.
Accessions. The total accessions for 1907 have been 18,557,
of which 3,870 have been received as gifts and 14,687 obtained
by purchase. Volumes made by binding serials are included in
these figures. There have been withdrawn 853 volumes, leav-
ing the net accessions for the year 17,704, which, with the
197,440 reported for 1906, make a total now on the books of
215,144. Except the Geibel purchase for the Senn Collection,
there are now no serious arrears of bound volumes, but there is
a considerable accumulation of material to be bound or put in
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 23
temporary holders, which ought to be entered. The pamphlet
collection has been increased by 2,284, so that there are now
some 60,000 pamphlets.

accessions for 1907 and of the totals entered, by departments:

For four of the departments the growth has been symmet-
rical; the excess in the Social Sciences is due to some large pur-
chases of inexpensive material and to receipts in exchange; the
deficiency in the Medical Sciences is due in part to a correspond-
ing deficiency in the appropriation, and in part to the with-
drawals made in eliminating the duplication between this
department and the collection on hygiene.
The periodicals currently received are 2,725, of which 419
are received as gifts and 2,306 by subscription, at an estimated
yearly cost of $8,118.73. Their classification is shown in the
second table of library statistics.
The assistant in charge of the Continuation Record reports
882 titles added to the list and 108 withdrawn, leaving 5, 844 at
the end of the year. About 2,200 were obtained by subscrip-
tion, at a cost of $3,837.54. These furnished 941 entries on
the record of accessions. The other continuations were received
as gifts or in exchange, and furnished 700 entries. Although
the work of filling gaps has fallen somewhat in arrears, still for
the gifts 362 first and 83 second requests were sent, and nine
were reported to the Librarian for personal letters. For the
purchases, 169 first and 77 second notifications were sent, and
41 reported to the Librarian.
No single purchase of great value has been made, the most
important being the botanical part of Gay's Historia fisica y
politica de Chile and a set of Deutsch-Ost-Afrika. On the other
hand, a rather unusual number of sets of serials have been com-
24 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
pleted, among which may be mentioned: Annuaire du Muse"e
Zoologique (St. Petersburg), Arbeiter-Versorgung, Botaniska
notiser, Denkschriften der K. botanischen Gesellschaft in Re gens -
burg, Farmer's magazine, Milch- Zeitung, Proceedings of the
Royal Physical Society of Edinburg, Sitzungsberichte der K. Aka-
demie der Wissenchaften (Vienna), sets of the journals of the
British Patent Office and of the statistical publications of the
Netherlands; and many medical periodicals, including Archiv
fiir PsycJiiatrie, Bulletins et me'moires de la Socie'te' anatomique de
Paris, Comptes rendus de la Socie'te' de biologie, Congres interna-
tional de me'decine, GegenbaursMorphologisches Jalirbuch, Schwei-
zerische Wochenschrift fiir Chemie und Pharmacie.
The gifts of the year .were not so numerous as in 1906, but
were more than for any other year in the history of the Library.
There were received 4,757 volumes, 5,332 pamphlets, and 600
maps from 1,559 donors, an( ^ 3^7 volumes have been entered
in the record of accessions. The figures for 1906 were 9, 130
volumes, 3,525 pamphlets, 1,432 donors, and 3,187 entries.
Perhaps the most interesting, and certainly the most curious
gift of the year, is a collection of some 600 maps from Dr.
Mortimer Frank of Chicago. It evidently was made by a
student of military science and many of the maps are of cities
and their suburbs, with especial reference to their fortification
and defense. The dates are those of the end of the eighteenth
century. Among the other gifts, mention may be made of 290
volumes from Mr. Orville E. Babcock, of Chicago, from the
library of his father, which filled many gaps in our sets of docu-
ments; and of a set of the Agricultural Gazette from the Depart-
ment of Mines and Agriculture of New South Wales. The
Library has been designated to receive regularly the documents
of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Duplicates. Through the kindness of the Newberry Library,
a room in their basement has been placed at our disposal for the
storage of duplicates, of which those in medicine were not
brought down to the main library. Under the pressure of the
extra work of the year but little time could be given to
arranging, cataloguing, and disposing of these volumes. Still
a large consignment was sent to the Mechanics-Mercantile
Library of San Francisco, a smaller one to the Library of
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 25
Congress, and a considerable exchange with a dealer is
being arranged. In all, 446 volumes and 130 pamphlets were
sold for $382.41; 47 volumes, valued at $115.00, sent on
priced exchange; 514 volumes and 1,075 pamphlets, valued at
$435.95, have been received on priced exchange; 130 volumes
and 107 pamphlets have been received on piece exchange. A
number of duplicate Illinois documents, some quite valuable,
have been sent to the Rhode Island State Library in return for
their kindness in sending us the Rhode Island documents as
issued. In accordance with the vote of the Directors, 50 boxes
of medical duplicates were sent as a gift to the Medical Library
of San Francisco.
Inventory. The extra work imposed upon the shelf-lister
and her assistants by the reclassification of the sets of medical
periodicals and by the consolidation of a number of them with
sets already in the main library is responsible for the small
amount of work accomplished on the inventory. About 145 sec-
tions have been read, discovering about 45 serious misplacements
or losses, for which, however, no systematic search could be
made. In addition loo of the new sections were read by the
Librarian in connection with the work of eliminating duplication;
in these sections many displacements were corrected, but the
actual losses were fewer than would have been expected from the
unfavorable conditions of the removal.
The 26 numbers of periodicals reported missing and the 12
cases of mutilation contrast very favorably with the record of
last year. All but four of these numbers have been replaced.
It is evident that the number of readers so regardless of the
rights of others as to commit these depredations, damaging far
beyond their money value, is extremely small. The monthly
inventories of the books in the Reading Room confirm this, for
only nineteen volumes have been reported missing, while five
reported missing a year ago have been found, making the net
loss fourteen, the same as for 1906.
Binding. On January I, 1907, there were at the binderies
1,142 volumes, and 9, 139 were sent during the year; 35 were
returned as incomplete, and 9,337 bound; leaving 909 at the
bindery December 31, 1907. About one-ninth were bound by
the Newberry Library. The cost of binding was $10,551.22,
26 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
an average of $ 1. 13 per volume. This is essentially the same
as last year. The cost of shelf-marking the accessions of the
year, including the 11,000 volumes of medical periodicals
reclassified, and a considerable amount of repairing, inserting
book-plates, and similar work, was $2,370.89.
Catalogues. The work of the cataloguing staff shows a sub-
stantial increase over that for 1906. Even this has not taken
care of the increase in the library, which for several reasons has
been unusually large and unusually burdensome to the catalog-
uers. Moreover the transfer of the Department of Medical
Sciences makes the question of recataloguing it far more pressing
than before. Its methods of cataloguing were different from
those of the main Library and necessarily inconvenient to use in
conjunction with the latter, while for some time past they have
been imperfectly followed. Still the records of the Senn Col-
lection are so much more imperfect, that it would seem best to
begin with that. For all these reasons the cataloguing staff
should be increased to the limit of the power of efficient super-
vision, in order that these books and those in the Gerritsen pur-
chase may be made available as soon as possible.
The Cataloguer reports that during the year 5,072 new
titles have been prepared for print; 170 new titles typewrit-
ten; 120 old typewritten titles prepared for print; 3, 876 titles
received from the Library of Congress have been classified for
the catalogues; 346 titles have been prepared for the co-opera-
tive analysis of serials. The total number of titles treated by
the Cataloguer and Classifier and their assistants has been
10,339, an increase of 491 over 1906. The titles reprinted in cor-
rection of errors were 16, and for other alterations 608. Cards
for 4,560 new titles and 572 reprinted titles were received from
the printer, electrotypes for 179 new titles and 287 reprinted
titles from the electrotypers. The total number of separate titles
prepared for print to date is 58,298; of sets of cards received,
57,184; of electrotypes, 36,477.
The number of orders sent to the Library of Congress on
triplicate order sheets was 9,198, and reports were received
on 8,500, leaving 698 outstanding. There were cards for 2,155
titles on hand January I, 1907; 5,053 were received during the
year, and 8 were taken from the file of those previously with-
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 27
*
drawn; cards for 4,052 were used, and for 567 withdrawn from
the file, leaving those for 2 ,597 on hand December 31. Of those
withdrawn 14 titles had been replaced by the Library of Con-
gress in correction of errors without charge, 166 showed such
differences in cataloguing that they could not be used, for 334 the
books could not be obtained, and 28 were duplicates. The in-
creased loss, amounting to about 10 per cent, is due largely to
the delay in ordering works, especially pamphlets, which are
not regularly in trade. Of the 5,053 titles received, 830 were
analytical titles from 208 serial publications.
The work of the Library in the co-operative analysis of
serials has been continued. It has supplied 346 titles and has
received cards for 2,792 at a net cost of $85.45. Of the 2,792
titles, 357 have been filed in the public card catalogues, and
one copy of 1702 in the official catalogue; and 184 have been
sold. The transfer of the classification records of the earlier
titles to the present form in the official catalogue has been
continued.
Hitherto the number of cards added to the catalogues has
been obtained by measurement. This method grows more diffi-
cult and inaccurate as the number of cards already in the cata-
logue increases. In future the determination will be made by
actual count. To keep this count for each subject in the table
of library statistics would take more time than seems worth
while, so that hereafter the number of entries in the classed cat-
alogue will be omitted from the table. It is given this year
because it has been computed with special care, and because it
corrects some errors in the statistics of last year.
There have been added 22,000 cards to the classed catalogue,
which now contains some 81,400 titles on 212,000 cards,
an average of 2.60 cards per title; 20,600 cards have been filed
in the author catalogue, which now contains the same 81,400
titles on 142,000 cards, an average of 1.74 cards per title; 938
guides and 3,490 cards have been added to the subject index,
which now contains 18,300 guides and 24,400 cards covering
53,300 titles, an average of 0.44 cards per title. Advantage
has been taken of the analytical cards of the Library of Con-
gress for government publications, both federal and state, to
form an index which is intended to refer special students to
28 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
valuable sources of information without overloading the main
catalogue. There are at present 13,472 cards filed in this index.
Of the 81,400 titles in the public catalogues about 57,000
are on cards printed by the Library, about 16,900 on Library of
Congress cards, and about 7,300 on A. L. A. co-operative
cards.
Meetings. The Library was represented unofficially by the
Librarian at the meeting to commemorate the Fiftieth Anniver-
sary of the Chicago Historical Society, February 7 ; officially by
the Librarian at the annual meeting of the Illinois State Library
at Bloomington, February 21 and 22 ; officially by the Librarian,
who was president for the year, and unofficially by eleven members
of the staff at the annual meeting of the American Library Asso-
ciation at Asheville, May 23 to 29; unofficially by the Librarian
at the annual meeting of the New York State Library Association
at Stamford, September 25 to 27; officially by the Librarian at
the meeting to organize the Illinois Academy of Science at Spring-
field, December 7 ; and unofficially by the Librarian and other
members of the staff at the meetings of the American Associa-
tion for the Advancement of Science, and the Bibliographical
Society of America, at Chicago, December 30, 1907, to January
4, 1908. As already stated, the Library prepared an exhibit
and issued a catalogue of it in honor of these meetings.

ALBERT KEEP
At the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of The
John Crerar Library, held January sixteenth, 1908, the follow-
ing resolutions were presented and read by Mr. Hughitt, on
behalf of the Committee, consisting of Messrs. Hughitt, Blatch-
ford and Clark, appointed to prepare a memorial resolution on
the death of Mr. Keep:
Resolved, that we hereby express our sense of great loss,
both as a board and personally, through the death, on May
eleventh, 1907, of Mr. Albert Keep.
Mr. Keep was chosen by Mr. Crerar in his will as one of
the trustees of his library foundation, and from that time until
his death gave continual and loyal service to this institution.
Especially as a member of the Committee on Finance during the
entire period of our corporate existence, Mr. Keep was an invalu-
able aid in establishing securely and well the Library's permanent
prosperity. No work was more important to Mr. Crerar's plan,
and Mr. Keep's rare financial prudence and sagacity always
illustrated the wise trust reposed in him by our Founder.
Not only as a member of this Board, but equally as an
eminent and admirable citizen, Mr. Keep left a notable record.
A resident of Chicago for more than fifty years, he always was
on the side of sane and fair political and commercial conduct.
He gave, and leaves, a high example of the just man, whose
influence makes unceasingly for good.
Resolved further , that a copy of these resolutions be fur-
nished by our secretary to Mrs. Keep, with whom we deeply
sympathize in her affliction.
The resolutions were adopted and ordered to be spread
upon the records and printed in the Annual Report.
LEONARD A. BUSBY,
Secretary.

NICHOLAS SENN
At the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of The
John Crerar Library, held January sixteenth, 1908, Dr. Frank
S. Johnson presented the following memorial resolution on the
death of Dr. Senn :
Whereas, in the death of Dr. Nicholas Senn, The John
Crerar Library has lost one of its warmest friends and supporters,
Therefore, be it resolved, that this Board expresses its deep
appreciation of his services to the Library, and that they express
their sincere sorrow for the loss his death entails upon the
Library, upon the profession to which he devoted his life and
his talents, and upon the city which he honored with the most
fruitful years of his life.
Dr. Senn was born in Buchs, Canton of St. Gall, Switzer-
land, in 1844. When nine years of age, his parents moved to
the United States and made their home in Ashford, Fond du
Lac, Wisconsin, where he graduated from the Grammar School
in 1864.
He was a determined, self-reliant, energetic youth, and assist-
ed towards his further education by teaching school. In 1868
he graduated from the Chicago Medical College, now the Medical
Department of Northwestern University, at the age of 24, and
subsequently served as interne in Cook County Hospital, after
which he returned to Wisconsin and entered upon the practice
of medicine at Fond du Lac, where he remained five years
As his appreciation of the scope of his chosen work grew
upon him, he felt the need of a wider field. His ambition and
the sense of the opportunities his profession should offer led him
to seek the better clinical advantages of a larger community,
and in 1874 he removed to Milwaukee.
In 1878 he graduated from the University of Munich, and
thereafter resumed his practice in Milwaukee until 1891.
During this time his .reputation as a surgeon grew sig-
nificantly. He served as Surgeon-General of the Wisconsin
67
68 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
National Guards, and perhaps it was then that he acquired the
spirit of militarism, insofar as it assisted in the organization and
efficiency of his various fields of work.
In 1884, while still in Milwaukee, he accepted the Chair of
Professor of Surgery in the College of Physicians and Surgeons
of Chicago. In 1887 he resigned his position in the College of
Physicians and Surgeons to accept the Chair of Professor of
Principles of Surgery in Rush Medical College, which he filled
until 1890, when he was made Professor of Practical and Clinical
Surgery in the same institution. About the same time he
accepted the Chair of Professor of Surgery in the Chicago Poli-
clinic, and the position of Professional Lecturer on Military
Surgery in the Chicago University.
He had moved to Chicago in 1891, making it possible to fill
the various appointments offered him here. In addition to
those mentioned above, he was made Surgeon-General of the
Illinois National Guard, Chief Surgeon of St. Joseph's Hospital,
and Attending Surgeon to the Presbyterian Hospital.
In May, 1898, he was appointed Chief Surgeon of the 6th
Army Corps, with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, U. S. V., and
Chief of the Operating Staff with the army in field in the Spanish-
American war, where he served efficiently and faithfully until
the following September.
He was well-known abroad, as in this country, through his
many writings and through his official presence at the Inter-
national Congresses, in which he represented medical organizations
of this country. In 1890 he was a delegate to the International
Congress at Berlin. In 1897 he fulfilled a similar mission at
Moscow. In 1901 he was a delegate for the United States at
the International Red Cross Conference at St. Petersburg.
The academic honor of the title Master of Surgery was con-
ferred upon him in 1901 by the Rush Medical College. During
his recent visit to Japan he received the decoration of the Order
of Merit, by special order of the Mikado, and was an honorary
member of every national medical and surgical society in the
world.
As a teacher he was pre-eminent. His memory of detail
was phenomenal, giving him ready command of his vast clinical
experience in hospital and camp. His habit of thought was
NICHOLAS SENN 69
exceptionally systematic and his command of inductive and de-
ductive methods made his rare mental store of experience
available at instant call.
He was especially adapted to fill public and semi-public
positions. His ability, his mental equipment, and his facility in
easy and forceful expression assured him a prominence in any
gathering.
In his professional work he was eminently skillful and re-
sourceful. He was daring in his undertakings, yet conservative
in his judgment, and his capacity as an efficient organizer was
a marked factor in enabling him to accomplish the enormous
amount of work that so successfully passed through his hands.
His capacity for continuous mental and physical effort was
marvellous, and his mental operations were clear under long and
fatiguing strain. His gifts of perception and of memory, and
his alertness of mind, fitted him preeminently for dealing with
a vast number of details which his many obligations entailed.
Few men became so -useful in private and public capacities,
through their personal relations with individuals and organiza-
tions, as did Dr. Senn.
He was most energetic in all his undertakings. Even his
pleasures were vigorously pursued. His vacations were spent
in arduous travel, and often in laborious research. His fields
of interest lay in every continent, and wherever he went he
probed the social and educational conditions for information
that might be of service to himself and others.
In his last trip his enthusiasm was the means of his down-
fall. It took him into the high altitudes of the Andes, and the
strain upon his heart, from mountain-climbing in the extremely
rarified air, overcame him. His heart never recovered from the
stress to which it was subjected, and which, with other compli-
cating ailments, finally led to his death.
Dr. Senn's interests and tastes were many: with them all,
he was a book-lover, and accumulated a large and valuable library,
devoted especially to the history of medicine. In his broad-
minded and generous spirit he opened this for the use of the
public by donating it to The Newberry Library in this city,
whence it was subsequently transferred to The John Crerar
Library, as being more in harmony with its scientific character.
70 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
His collection of books was one of his especial objects of in-
terest, and he spared neither pains nor means to make it compre-
hensive. In it he has enriched the resources of his confreres in
this city, and has linked his name with the spirit of progress and
of altruism. His own contributions to literature are numerous,
and embrace a wide variety of subjects, both professional and
secular.
It is a matter of deepest regret to this Board that Dr. Senn,
our valued friend, has been taken from us at this supreme period
of his usefulness to mankind; at a time when his ripe judgment
and broadened knowledge had virtually become a civic asset,
and when he was in the act of reaping the ripened harvest of
his work.
The resolution was adopted, ordered to be spread upon the
records and printed in the Annual Report, and it was further
ordered that an engrossed copy be sent to the family of Dr. Senn.
LEONARD A. BUSBY,
Secretary.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
To THE GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS:
In accordance with the provisions of an act entitled "An
Act to encourage and promote the establishment of free public
libraries in cities, villages, and towns in this state," approved
June 17, 1891, under which this corporation is organized, the
Directors of The John Crerar Library submit their fourteenth
annual report, for the year 1908.
The vacancy in the Board of Directors caused by the death
of Albert Keep was filled by the election, on April 16, 1908, of
Mr. Frederick H. Rawson. This choice was duly approved, under
date of April 21, 1908, by the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of Illinois, so that the Board is now composed of the
following persons: E. W. Blatchford, Robert T. Lincoln, Henry
W. Bishop, John M. Clark, Frank S. Johnson, Peter Stenger
Grosscup, Marvin Hughitt, Thomas D. Jones, John J. Mitchell,
Leonard A. Busby, Robert Forsyth, Chauncey Keep, and
Frederick H. Rawson, together with Fred A. Busse, Mayor of
Chicago, and Walter H. Wilson, Comptroller, ex-officio members.
The officers of the Library are as follows: President, Peter
Stenger Grosscup; First Vice-President, Henry W. Bishop;
Second Vice-President, Thomas D. Jones; Secretary, Leonard
A. Busby; Treasurer, William J. Louderback; Librarian,
Clement W. Andrews.
The matter of the permanent building remains as outlined in
the last report, and the Directors are still awaiting the decision
of the South Park Commissioners as to the initiation of condem-
nation proceedings under the provisions of the act entitled "An
Act concerning free public libraries in public parks," approved
May 14, 1903. The amount of the fund set aside for the build-
ing is sufficient to enable the Directors to proceed as soon as
legal authority is obtained.
The need of a settlement of the question will soon be felt if

the collections of the Library and its use by the public increase
in the ratio of the last few years. In 1908 the total use has been
over 389,000 volumes and periodicals; the number of visitors
recorded has been 130,000, an average of 414 a day, and an
increase of 20,300 over 1907. The Library now contains
232,400 volumes and 66,000 pamphlets, and receives currently
2,889 periodicals and 6,365 other serial publications. For
further details reference is made to the appended report of the
Librarian.
The report of the Treasurer, also appended, presents the
statement of the income and expenditure for the year 1908,
together with a statement of the assets and investments as
required by law.
Respectfully submitted,
PETER S. GROSSCUP,
President.

CHICAGO, January 21, 1909.
We have audited the books and accounts of The John Crerar
Library for the year ending December 31, 1908; have examined and
priced all securities, which we find to have an aggregate present
market value largely exceeding the book values, and have verified the
cash on hand and in banks.
We accordingly certify that the foregoing statements truly exhibit
the cash receipts and disbursements and the operating income for the
said year, and the assets and liabilities at its close.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY:
Gentlemen: It is perhaps most fortunate for the usefulness of
the Library to the public that the history of its internal admin-
istration in 1908 has been marked by nothing more noticeable
than a greatly increased use by the public, a satisfactory amount
of routine work accomplished, and an increase in the collections
somewhat above the average.
Rooms. The continued increase in the number of readers has
taxed severely the seating capacity of the Library and has made
it evident that more seats must be provided if the present
standard of service is to be maintained. In anticipation of this
need the changes made in 1907 were so planned as to be part of
a more thorough rearrangement, which should be made as soon
as the renewal of the lease is secured.
An important improvement made during the year was the
substitution of tungsten for carbon lamps in the reading-rooms
and stacks. The new lamps were supplied by the Buckeye
Electric Co., of Cleveland, and so far have given great satisfac-
tion. They have furnished much better light at a noticeably
smaller cost.
Experiments have been made on the removal of dust from
the books by mechanical means. These experiments have
somewhat unexpectedly established the superiority of well-con-
structed portable machines over permanent installations. The
former not only are much less expensive, both in first cost and
running expenses, but also give better results. It was found,
also, that suction alone gave an appreciable but not very great
economy of time over dusting by hand, and that the complete
removal of the dust was a most decided advantage. On the
other hand, a combination of blast and suction, possible with
some of the portable machines in the market, permitted the
work to be done without removing the books from the shelves
and in one-fifth the time of hand-work, though it was also
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 13
found that a certain proportion of the dust was not collected by
the suction and that the shelves themselves were not so
thoroughly cleaned. This combined process seems to make it
possible to clean the books often enough to keep them in reason-
ably good condition for use. At present they have to be dusted
whenever they are taken from the shelves, a process most
unsatisfactory to all concerned.
Department of Medical Sciences. A not inconsiderable part
of the work mentioned in the last report as necessary to make
this Department fully available to readers has been accomplished.
The working collection of newer books has been increased
materially until it now amounts to some 2,400 volumes. All
the volumes of the Senn Collection and some 3,000 of its pamph-
lets have been roughly classified and arranged. All current
periodicals have been classified and catalogued, and many of
those not current, leaving to be treated only about 750 titles of
the latter, mostly of comparatively little importance. The
rearrangement of the books on the mezzanine floor and their
comparison with the Newberry Library shelf-list has been
finished. The result of this comparison has been quite satisfac-
tory, for only about one per cent of the volumes have not been
accounted for.
The departmental catalogue has now been completed so far
as cards printed by this Library are concerned. As one assistant
will be assigned specially to work on the medical books, it is
expected that the next year will see considerable progress in
cataloguing the recent additions to the Senn Collection, which is
now the most pressing need in this line.
That these improvements are appreciated by the medical
profession of the city is shown by the increased use made of the
collections. A count comparable with that of last year shows
an increase of about one-third in the readers in the Senn Room.
The figures are about three times those recorded while the
Department was in the Newberry Library building. The
interest of the profession is further shown by the increasing
number of gifts from physicians, which form an appreciable
factor in the record of gifts. It is hoped that the rearrange-
ment already mentioned may still further improve the service
and increase the usefulness of the Department.
14 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
Special Collections. The Senn Collection has been strength-
ened materially during the year. The family of Dr. Senn have
added to it all his personal library, some 1,900 volumes, under
conditions which will insure the maximum usefulness of the
gift. Naturally a large proportion, about two-thirds, of these
books are duplicates of works in the Library or are outside its
scope. These will be disposed of by sale or in exchange, reserv-
ing only such of the duplicates as are presentation copies, and
the volumes thus obtained will be added to the Senn Collection.
The Collection has had a further addition through the gifts of
Dr. I. N. Danforth of Chicago. Most of his books were received
some time ago, but only a few had been accessioned before this
year. Only a few of the Geibel purchase have been accessioned
as yet. The work of readjustment must wait until more shelf-
room is available, so that it will be some time before an exact
statement as to the contents of the Senn Collection can be made.
From the proceeds of its special fund nine volumes have been
added to the Huntington W. Jackson Collection on Constitu-
tional Law and the collection has been marked by an appropriate
tablet.
Routine. The treatment of the pamphlet collection has
received special attention. It has been decided to consider all
unbound material of less than one hundred pages as pamphlets,
and therefore not necessarily to be bound. As a rule, however,
all pamphlets, excepting reprints, which are of special interest
or for which Library of Congress catalogue cards can be ob-
tained, will be bound. Unless bound, pamphlets are classified
and kept in boxes, no box containing material on two divisions
of the classification. A shelf list record of the boxes is
kept, with one card for each box, giving in a tally record the
number of pamphlets therein. Author slips are filed in the
official catalogue for all pamphlets of permanent value, including
reprints. This last provision, which was adopted primarily to
prevent duplication in ordering and in treating gifts, has proved
even more useful in the reference work of the Library. The
segregation of the pamphlet boxes on the shelves has also proved
even more advantageous than was expected.
The increase in the number of unbound maps and in their use
has made necessary a more systematic treatment of them. It
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 15
has been decided to make a short entry for each map in a separate
accession book, and to keep them in manila portfolios, classified
geographically by the Decimal Classification. The extent of the
subdivision will vary according to the amount of material on
hand. The portfolios for each locality are to be catalogued,
classified, and shelf-listed as a unit, though individual maps of
special interest may be catalogued separately. This work had only
been begun at the end of the year so that no figures are available.
The routine of interlibrary loans made to this Library has
now been systemized with satisfactory results, and that for loans
made by the Library will next be considered.
The second table of library statistics has been altered slightly.
With the consent of the Committee on Books the estimated cost
of the orders will be shown to the nearest dollar only, and the
space thus gained, together with that gained by the omission of
the column of catalogue entries, for the reason, as stated last
year, that measurement is no longer sufficiently accurate and
counting would be too expensive, will be utilized to show the
number of pamphlets as well as volumes on each subject.
Attendance. The total number of visitors recorded during
the year was 130,049, and the daily average 414, an increase of
eighteen per cent over the figures for 1907, which were 109,677
and 351 respectively. As the increase in the use of the Senn
Room has been less than 20 a day, that for the rest of the Library
has been at least 43, or more than in any previous year. It is
evident that the addition of medicine has not resulted in a
diminution of usefulness in other lines.
The evening attendance has increased quite normally, from
74 to 83 ; but that on the five general holidays of the year very
remarkably, from 130 to 172. In both cases the new depart-
ment has not been a considerable factor.
The exhibit of rare books and incunabula was repeated on
June ist to 5th in honor of the American Medical Association
and the Medical Library Association, which held their annual
meetings in Chicago at that time. The total number of visitors
to the exhibit was 188. They were not recorded in the atten-
dance at the Library unless they entered the Reading Room.
The smallest attendance on any one day was 139 on July 4th
and the largest 815 on December I2th. The increase over the
16 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
corresponding figures for 1907, which were 105 and 629 respec-
tively, is remarkable, but still more remarkable is the fact that
on one or two Mondays as well as on every Saturday in November
and December every available seat in both reading rooms was
occupied.
In order to determine more accurately the field of usefulness
of the Library the Committee on Administration gave instruc-
tions that all visitors on two selected days should be requested
to give their occupations. The results are well worth recording
as they show that the Library is serving the public as the
Directors have desired, and that the limitations of its scope are
generally recognized. Of 805 persons one only refused to
answer, and one replied that he had no occupation. Of the 803
others there were: business men, 240 or 30 per cent; tech-
nologists, 204 or 26 per cent; physicians, 97 or 12 per cent;
students, 76 or 9 per cent ; writers, 42 or 5 per cent ; attorneys,
39 or 5 per cent; teachers, 31 or 4 per cent; all others, 74 or
9 per cent. Twelve per cent of the visitors were women, while
in 1898 the percentage was 18, so that at least one American
library is not undergoing the process of feminization sometimes
attributed to them.
The residence of the readers was computed from the call
slips for one week and shows no considerable variation from the
computations made in several previous years. The following
table gives the results in percentages and shows that the Library
has always served all the sections of the city.
1897 1898 1899 1900 1903 1904 1905 1908

Business District 14 10 10 7 10 7 7 8
Out of Town 12 7 7 8 11 7 11 12
These figures indicate clearly that the Library should have
as central a location as possible, but this need is emphasized by
the results of a special inquiry made at the suggestion of the
Committee on Administration. From this inquiry it appears that
only 326 out of 733 readers, or 43 per cent, usually come to the
Library from their homes; the others, or 57 percent, come from
their offices; and of these, 299 or 41 per cent of the total, have
offices within the loop.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 17
Use. Again the difference in the methods of recording the
use of books at the main library and at the Department of Med-
ical Sciences while in the Newberry Library building makes
difficult the comparison of the figures for 1908 with those of
1907. As stated in the previous report, at the main library the
calls for books from the stacks are recorded, but not the number
of volumes ; while no record is kept of the use of the books shelved
in the Reading Room or of those used in the stacks. At the
Department of Medical Sciences, before its removal, the use of
practically every volume read was recorded. Since the removal
the rules of the main library have applied, and no record is kept
of the use of the books shelved in the Senn Room, or of those
used in the stacks. Notwithstanding this difference, affecting
seven months of the comparison, the recorded number of calls
from the stacks has increased from 104,435 to 108,662, and of
periodicals from 17,449 to 20,980. The total use of books and
periodicals, using the same factor as in previous years, has
increased from 328,000 to 389,000, a gain of nineteen per cent.
A detailed classification of the call slips for books and peri-
odicals and of admissions to the stack is given in the second
table of library statistics. The following table gives a compari-
son of the totals and percentages for each department with the
corresponding figures for 1907:

Applied Sciences 49,586 38 39,803 33 741 28 666 34
The decrease in the Medical Sciences has been explained as
the result of the difference in the methods of recording; all
other departments show substantial increases. The calls for
books on each special subject are larger in every case but nine,
and the decrease is significant in none of these. On the other
hand, considerable increases are quite numerous, and the follow-
ing appear noteworthy: architecture, nearly double; statistics,
charities and corrections, customs and folk-lore, paleontology,
i8 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
landscape gardening, about three-quarters; political economy,
administration (documents), astronomy, physics, zoology, build-
ing, design, each one-half. The first six subjects in order are:
medicine, engineering, physics, trade and transportation, political
economy, chemical technology ; the subjects are the same as last
year but the last two have changed places.
The admissions to the stack were 2,671, an increase of 727,
or 37 per cent. These figures do not include persons taken to
the shelves for a short time by library officials, nor general
readers given seats in the stacks because of the lack of seats in
the reading rooms. The greater part of the increase is in the
Medical Sciences, and is due more to a difference in recording
than to a difference in use. As a whole the privilege has not
been extended quite so freely as in past years, but it should be
understood that the restraint has been in the Library's offers to
readers and not in its grants of their requests. Of the admis-
sions recorded, 1,495 were by registration and 1,176 on pre-
sentation of 35 passes. Two additional passes have been
granted, and one cancelled by death, leaving 88 nominally in
force.
The loans for use outside the Library have again increased
remarkably. There were granted 127 requests from 22 libraries
and 103 from 55 individuals, and seven requests from libraries
were refused. In 1907 the loans were 180 and the refusals
three. In five cases the books loaned were asked for while out.
Notwithstanding the great increase in the number of calls
filled, the average time required to fill them remains almost the
same as last year. Some of the conditions of the service have
been improved, but the gains thus made have been more than
offset by the increased amount of work to be done, and especially
by the great irregularity of its pressure. Considering only the
calls filled by the regular attendants, the time has been calculated
from the call slips of the third week in November. The average
was 3.00 minutes and 70 per cent were filled within four min-
utes. The figures for 1907 were 2.93 and 76 respectively.
The record of the causes of failures to supply books called
for which should have been supplied is as follows : at bindery,
332; in use by another reader, 744; withdrawn from general
circulation, 94; not found on shelves, 572; errors of library
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 19
assistants or records, 82; total, 1,824. The total is 1.76 per
cent of the total call slips presented while in 1907 the total was
1.47 per cent. It should be noted that the first three causes are
practically unavoidable. The avoidable failures are 654 or 0.6
per cent as against 0.4 per cent in 1907. With the knowledge
of the causes acquired from the record it is hoped that the
avoidable failures in 1909 may be fewer.
No record has been kept of the calls for assistance by tele-
phone, but they are known to have been more than in previous
years. So also a decided increase in the requests for infor-
mation received and answered by mail has been noted. In one
day letters of inquiry on specific points within our field were
received from Mexico and Cuba.
Publications. In May the Library issued its Thirteenth
Annual Report, a pamphlet of 70 pages. Besides the usual
matter it contained portraits of Albert Keep and Nicholas Senn,
and the record of the action of the Directors on their death.
An edition of 4,500 copies was printed and distributed. No
other publication was issued during the year, but the second
edition of the List of Books in the Reading Room is now in
process of printing and should be ready for issue early in 1909.
As the Directors have authorized the publication of a second
edition of the 5 List of Serials, this work will be undertaken next.

versity of Illinois, and University of Michigan, and of a selection
20 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
to the American Institute of Mining Engineers and the U. S.
Geological Survey, has been continued. Orders have been
received from many of the institutions mentioned in previous
reports and in addition a set of all titles on education has been sold
to the U. S. Bureau of Education. Arrangements for exchange
of cards for publications have been made with the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers and the New York Academy of
Medicine. The set of titles on municipal administration origin-
ally presented to the Municipal Museum of Chicago and returned
to the Library when that institution went out of existence, has
been brought down to date and presented to the Municipal
Library of Chicago. In all 91,414 cards have been sent to the
depository libraries, 207 given away, and 46,309 sold or sent in
exchange. From the Library of Congress there have been
received in exchange 42,502 cards, making a total of 349,460 in
the depository catalogue.
Selection and Ordering. Again it is necessary to report
greater arrears than ever before in the work of ordering. That
of selection is much more nearly up to date, but it is not entirely
so. When the Directors, early in the year, authorized a modifi-
cation of the attempt to make each department as complete as
possible, adopted as a policy by the Board at the start, it was
hoped that the titles already selected could be reviewed and the
ordering brought strictly up to date. For several reasons,
among them the extra work imposed by the large gifts of the
year and the insufficiency of the appropriation for new books,
this could not be done. Fortunately, two new agents have
supplemented very acceptably the work of our regular agents in
sending books on approval, so that the most important recent
publications in French and German have been obtained promptly.
As the American books, and to a less degree English publications
also, have always been obtained more promptly than those in
foreign languages, the actual detriment to the service of the
Library, although serious, has not been so great as the amount
of the arrears would indicate.
During the year 8,877 orders were given. Of these 802
failed or were canceled, leaving 8,075 valid orders, covering
10,046 volumes at an estimated cost of $20,915. Of outstand-
ing orders, 8,364 were filled, covering 14,391 volumes at a cost
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 21
of $20,047.93. There are left outstanding 3,007 orders, at an
estimated cost of $2,928; of these 1,151 were given before
January i, 1908. The distribution of the orders of the year
and of the total to the end of 1908, together with the estimated
cost, to the nearest dollar, are given in the second table of
library statistics. The figures given there and above are net ;
that is, the volumes of duplicates sold and the amounts received
for them are deducted.
Accessions. The total accessions for 1908 have been 18,789,
of which 4,398 have been received as gifts and 14,391 obtained
by purchase. Volumes made by binding serials are included in
these figures. There have been withdrawn 1,530 volumes,
leaving the net accessions for the year 17,259, which, with the
215,144 reported for 1907, make a total now on the books of
232,403. Except for the recent additions to the Senn Col-
lection there are no considerable arrears.
The pamphlets received during the year were far in excess
of the usual number. All of them except those forming part
of the Senn Collection and the Wiedemann collection have been
classified and arranged. As has already been stated, they are
counted when placed in the boxes. The additions to the classi-
fied collection have been 6,755, of which 200 were from the
Ely collection, 201 were from the older Senn Collection, and
6,354 were the receipts of the year. This makes the total
number of pamphlets in the Library some 66,400, of which
20,713 are classified by the Decimal Classification, and about
16,000 by the Newberry Library medical classification. The
Gerritsen and Ely pamphlets are also partially classified and
available, but the Wiedemann and Senn pamphlets should be
classified and arranged as soon as possible.
The following table shows the distribution of the net
accessions for 1908, and of the totals entered by departments,

22 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
As in 1907 for four departments the growth has been sym-
metrical; the Social Sciences have benefited by exchanges and
the Medical Sciences have suffered by a disproportionate number
of withdrawals and transfers.
The periodicals currently received are 2, 889, of which 526 are
received as gifts and 2,363 by subscription, at an estimated yearly
cost of $8,382.95. Their classification is shown in the second
table of library statistics.
The assistant in charge of the Continuation Record reports
744 titles added to the list and 123 withdrawn, leaving 6,365 at
the end of the year. About 2,500 were obtained by subscription,
at a cost of $4,409.34. These furnished 1091 volumes entered on
the record of accessions. The other continuations were received
as gifts or in exchange, and furnished 879 volumes. There was
an increase of almost ten percent in the number of entries in the
record, and yet almost as much work as in the previous year was
done in trying to keep the files complete. For the gifts 191 first
and 60 second requests were sent and 28 reported to the Librarian
for personal letters. For the purchases 216 first and 28 second
notifications were sent and 24 reported to the Librarian.
The only single purchase of considerable value, other than
sets of periodicals, was that of a collection of some 4, 500 pamphlets
on electricity from the library of the late Dr. Gustav Wiedemann,
of Leipzig. While the collection contains many reprints, it
contains also many monographs, and will form, when catalogued
and classified, a most desirable addition to the literature on a very
important subject. The number of sets of periodicals completed
was again noticeably large. Among them may be mentioned :
Actes de f Acade'mie de Bordeaux, Actes de la Sociite linneenne de
Bordeaux, Aironaute, Allgemeine Bauzeitung, Annalen der k. k.
Sternwarte in Wien, Archiv des Vereins der Freunde der Naturge-

tions.
Again there has been established a new record for gifts.
There were received during the year 9,818 volumes and 6,987
pamphlets from 1,563 donors. Almost all the pamphlets have
been classified and arranged, and 4,398 volumes have been
entered in the record of accessions. The figures for 1907 were
4,757 volumes received, 5,332 pamphlets, and 3,870 enterics.
Besides the gift of the Senn Estate, already mentioned,
there was received from the Estate of the late Edgar Sanders,
of Chicago, his collection on floriculture. This comprised
some 200 volumes and a considerable number of pamphlets,
some of them rare. About 160 volumes were entered in the
record of accessions. This gift was made on the advice of the
officers of the Horticultural Society of Chicago, and is welcome
not only for its own sake, as a valuable collection of material,
but also as a recognition of the Library as the centre of informa-
tion on the subject. A collection of some 200 volumes, from
which about 70 were entered in the accession books, of older
works on gynecology and obstetrics, was received from Dr. John
Bartlett, of Chicago.
Besides these collections, three individual gifts should be
mentioned. H. S. H. the Prince of Monaco has placed the
Library on the list of institutions to receive the publications of
the Musee oceanographique, and has sent a complete set of his
Rtsultats des campagnes scientifiques, a most valuable gift. The
Library of Parliament at Ottawa has sent and will send the con-
tinuation of the Library's set of the Sessional Papers of the
Canadian Parliament, also a very useful gift. The Prefect of
the Department of the Seine has sent the municipal documents
24 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
of Paris since 1900, in continuation of the set already in the
Library.
Duplicates. The pressure of the regular work makes it
impossible for the present staff to give the attention to the
duplicates which they require. Consequently a large part of
the increasing collection is unavailable for exchange. Yet
much has been done, for during the year 2,437 volumes and
2,500 pamphlets have been sold for $1,193.32; 17 volumes and
366 pamphlets, valued at $35.67, have been sent on priced
exchange; 90 volumes and 551 pamphlets have been received
on priced exchange; 131 volumes and 43 pamphlets have been
sent on piece exchange; 152 volumes and 29 pamphlets
received on piece exchange.
Inventory. The inventory begun in 1906 has been completed,
and a systematic search made for the missing volumes. ' It is a
pleasure to report that only 80 volumes are missing from the
stacks in addition to the 42 reported in 1905, while 14 of the
latter have been found, so that the total loss from some 206,000
volumes in 12 years has been 108. It should be added that at
least 25 of the recently discovered losses are apparently due to
the carelessness of members of the staff. From the reading
rooms, the losses are much more numerous in proportion to the
number of books on the shelves but almost indefinitely fewer in
proportion to the number of persons having access to them. In
the three years 47 volumes have disappeared and five have been
found, leaving a net loss of 42 and a total loss of 72 for 12 years.
Here also it is pleasant to state that the losses for 1908 were only
8 as against 21 in 1907. The mutilations discovered were 16 for
the three years of which four were noticed in 1908. The 38
numbers of periodicals reported as missing are more than in 1907
but the seven mutilations reported are fewer, so that, when the
increase in the use of the periodicals is taken into consideration,
the results seem satisfactory.
There were discovered and corrected, while taking the
inventory, 142 serious misplacements. The proportion to the
total number of volumes is larger than that of the inventory of
1905, but almost the same as that of 1901.
The cost of the inventory was $165, an expenditure which
seems well justified by the results.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 25
The above figures do not include those books of the Depart-
ment of Medical Sciences which are still shelved under the
Newberry Library classification. These were compared with the
Newberry Library shelf-list as they were rearranged. Of
22,204 volumes checked only 192 were not found. There is no
record of any previous inventory either by Newberry Library or
this Library, so that these losses may have occurred in moving,
or while in possession of this Library in the Newberry Library
building, or before their acquisition. Almost all the missing
volumes are individual works of small pecuniary value.
Binding. On January i, 1908, there were at the binderies
909 volumes, and 10,819 were sent during the year; 17 were
returned as incomplete, and 11,214 bound; leaving 497 at the
binderies December 31, 1908. About one-sixth were bound by
the Newberry Library. The cost of binding was $12,221.63,
an average of $1.09 per volume. This is somewhat less than
for 1907, when it was $1.13. The cost of shelf -marking the
accessions of the year, together with a considerable amount of
repairing, inserting book-plates, and similar work, was $1,3 88. 13.
Catalogues. The work of the cataloguing staff again shows
a substantial increase over that of the previous year. While not
quite all the accessions of the year have been cared for, there
has been accomplished much work on the arrears, which,
together with some simplifications in methods, has reduced the
accumulation somewhat. In order to secure the services of an
experienced cataloguer, one of the appointments authorized by
the Board was not made until late in the year; for this reason
the total accomplished, though very satisfactory, was less than
it might otherwise have been.
The Cataloguer reports that during the year 6,296 new
titles have been prepared for print; 224 new titles typewrit-
ten ; 94 titles prepared for print to replace old typewritten
titles and six to replace Library of Congress titles; 5,063
titles received from the Library of Congress have been classi-
fied for the catalogues; 728 titles have been prepared for the co-
operative analysis of serials. The total number of titles treated
by the Cataloguer and Classifier and their assistants has been
1 3, 278, an increase of 2, 939 over 1907. The titles reprinted in cor-
rection of errors were 43, and for other alterations 717. Cards
26 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
for 6,822 new titles and 848 reprinted titles were received from
the printer, electrotypes for 1,247 new titles and 429 reprinted
titles from the electrotypers. The total number of separate titles
prepared for print to date is 64,594; of sets of cards received,
64,006; of electrotypes, 37,724.
The number of orders sent to the Library of Congress on
triplicate order sheets was 8,493, and reports were received
on 8,146, leaving 347 outstanding. There were cards for 2,597
titles on hand January I, 1908; 5,752 were received during the
year, and 32 were taken from the file of those previously with-
drawn; cards for 5,304 were used, and for 644 withdrawn from
the file, leaving those for 2 ,433 on hand December 31. Of those
withdrawn 32 titles had been replaced by the Library of Con-
gress in correction of errors without charge, 55 showed such
differences in cataloguing that they could not be used, for 298 the
books could not be obtained, and 14 were duplicates. Of the
5,752 titles received, 1,036 were analytical titles from 255
serial publications.
The work of the Library in the co-operative analysis of
serials has been continued. It has supplied 728 titles and has
received cards for 2,906 at a net cost of $45.46. Of the 2,906
titles, 674 have been filed in the public card catalogues, and
one copy of 1,388 in the official catalogue; and 596 have been
sold. The transfer of the classification records of the earlier
.titles to the present form in the official catalogue has been
continued.
There have been added 29,603 cards to the classed catalogue
which now contains some 93,700 titles on 241,700 cards,
an average of 2.58 cards per title; 22,347 cards have been filed
in the author catalogue, which now contains the same 93,700
titles on 166,300 cards, an average of 1.76 cards per title; 1,280
guides and 5,664 cards have been added to the subject index,
which now contains 19,600 guides and 30,100 cards covering
67,600 titles, an average of 0.44 cards per title.
There have been added 1,902 cards to the index of govern-
ment publications, making a total of 15,304 in this index. A
new index, of the analytical cards issued by the U. S. Bureau of
Education, has been begun; this now contains 2,424 cards. The

distribution of the cards in the classed catalogue, by depart-
ments, is shown in the following table:

Of work on the arrears may be mentioned the completion of
the catalogue of the Department of Medical Sciences for all
books which have been catalogued by this Library; the catalogu-
ing of 279 medical periodicals ; and the cataloguing of 1 ,375 titles
from the Gerritsen collection.
Of the 93,700 titles in the public catalogues about 63,300
are on cards printed by the Library, about 22,000 on Library of
Congress cards, and about 8,OOO on A. L. A. co-operative
cards.
Meetings. The Library was represented officially by the
Librarian at the first regular meeting of the Illinois Academy of
Science at Decatur, February 22 ; officially by the Librarian and
Medical Reference Librarian, and unofficially by other mem-
bers of the staff at the annual meeting of the Medical Library
Association at Chicago, June I and 2 ; officially by the Librarian
and unofficially by eight other members of the staff at the annual
meeting of the American Library Association at Lake Minne-
tonka, June 22 to 27; unofficially by the Librarian at the annual
meeting of the New York State Library Association at Lake
George, September 22 to 25; officially by the Assistant Libra-
rian at the annual meeting of the Illinois State Library Asso-
ciation at Galesburg, Octobar 12 to 14. The Medical Library
Association, of which this Library is now a member, were its
guests for two of the sessions of their annual meeting, June I
and 2.
Staff. The Library has been especially fortunate in the
small number of losses from the staff. The following have
resigned: Misses Edna Fairchild and Cara F. Swenson and Mr.
Robert R. Williams, junior assistants; Mr. Jesse Krueger,
attendant ; Peter Paul Brennan, page. Two attendants have
28 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
left the service without due notice, and one page has been
dismissed.
The following appointments have been made: Miss Gertrude
Forstall, as assistant cataloguer; Miss Genevieve Darlington and
Mr. Bruno Wilke, as senior assistants; Misses Cara F. Swenson,
Anna D. White, and Edna L. Goss, Messrs. Joseph Blight
and Jay T. Conway, as junior assistants; Mrs. Alberta M.
Whidden and Miss Mabel Ray, as temporary junior assistants ;
Messrs. John C. DeWolfe and Jacob L. Fox, as attendants;
Ray E. Shaffer, as page. The other vacancies have not been
filled permanently as yet, but the following have given temporary
service: Misses Grace D. McMahon, Mary L. Doig, Alberta
Cooke, and Louise Madsen, as junior assistants; Misses Cariola
Barker, Helen M. Heath, and Janet Hall, Messrs. John A.
Dean and Edward W. Westland, as attendants; Roy Jacobson,
as page.
The foregoing record of work accomplished is sufficient
proof of the faithful and efficient work of the staff.
Respectfully submitted,
CLEMENT W. ANDREWS,
Librarian.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
To THE GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS:
In accordance with the provisions of an act entitled "An
Act to encourage and promote the establishment of free public
libraries in cities, villages, and towns in this state," approved
June 17, 1891, under which this corporation is organized, the
Directors of The John Crerar Library submit their fifteenth
annual report, for the year 1909.
No changes have occurred in the membership of the Board
of Directors, which is composed of the following persons: E. W.
Blatchford, Robert T. Lincoln, Henry W. Bishop, John M.
Clark, Frank S. Johnson, Peter Stenger Grosscup, Marvin
Hughitt, Thomas D. Jones, John J. Mitchell, Leonard A.
Busby, Robert Forsyth, Chauncey Keep and Frederick H.
Rawson, together with Fred A. Bilsse, Mayor of Chicago, and
Walter H. Wilson, Comptroller, ex-officio members.
The officers of the Library are as follows: President, Peter
Stenger Grosscup; First Vice-President, Henry W. Bishop;
Second Vice-President, Thomas D. Jones; Secretary, Leonard
A. Busby; Treasurer, William J. Louderback; Librarian,
Clement W. Andrews.
The litigation between the Field Museum of Natural History,
the South Park Commissioners, and A. Montgomery Ward, re-
ferred to in the 1907 report, was carried to the Supreme Court
of the State of Illinois, and on October 26, 1909, the court de-
livered an opinion adverse to the right of the Field Museum
and the South Park Commissioners to erect any buildings in
Grant Park. The case is reported as A. Montgomery Ward vs.
Field Museum of Natural History, et al. 241 111. 496.
After this decision was handed down, the Board of Directors
again requested the South Park Commissioners to institute con-
demnation proceedings under the act of 1903, entitled: "An
Act concerning free public libraries in public parks," and
7
8 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
the Commissioners are preparing to institute the necessary con-
demnation proceedings at once.
Meanwhile the Directors have arranged for a renewal of the
lease of the present quarters and have made somewhat exten-
sive alterations in order to utilize the space to the fullest extent
possible.
Important and unusual additions have been made to the col-
lections of the Library, which now contains 251,281 volumes,
some 77,000 pamphlets, and 1,500 maps and plates. It receives
currently 3,070 periodicals and 7,306 other serial publications.
The use made of the Library, notwithstanding the incon-
veniences caused by the alterations, has been practically the
same as in 1908; viz., 382,000 books and periodicals. For fur-
ther details reference is made to the appended report of the
Librarian.
The report of the Treasurer, also appended, presents the
statement of the income and expenditure for the year 1909,
together with a statement of the assets and investments, as
required by law.
Respectfully submitted,
PETER S. GROSSCUP,
President.

REPORT OF THE TREASURER n
In accordance with the instructions of the Board of Directors, the
Building Fund has been increased by the amount of the surplus for
the year, $54,097.76, less the fourth annual charge of $7,000.00 against
the Medical Library Purchase Suspense Account, making a total
to the credit of the Building Fund of $900,434.19.
The Book Fund has been increased by the amount of the invest-
ment during the year, less depreciation, and now stands at $408,747.01.
The income of the Huntington W. Jackson Fund has been ex-
pended for books.
Insurance is in force covering the property of the Library in
amounts as follows :
Books - - $329,500.00
Portraits, Furniture, Fixtures, and Decora-
tions - 28,000.00
Type and Cases - 4,500.00

CHICAGO, January 20, 1910.
We have audited the books and accounts of The John Crerar
Library for the year ending December 31, 1909; have examined and
priced all securities, which we find to have an aggregate present
market value largely exceeding the book values, and have verified the
cash on hand and in banks.
We accordingly certify that the foregoing statements truly exhibit
the cash receipts and disbursements and the operating income for the
said year, and the assets and liabilities at its close.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY :
Gentlemen: In presenting his report on the internal adminis-
tration of the Library for 1909, the Librarian hopes that it may
be regarded as indicating noteworthy improvements in the re-
sources of the Library and in its material equipment, as well as
the accomplishment of a satisfactory amount of routine work.
Rooms. As soon as the Directors decided to renew the lease
of the present quarters a somewhat extensive rearrangement of
the space was undertaken. The mezzanine platform between
the fifth and sixth floors was completed and fitted up with book
stacks which will hold some 100,000 volumes. Nearly all the
stacks on the sixth floor were removed. A small part of the
space thus acquired was used for an extension of the Public Cat-
alogue Room, adding 360 trays and four seats, and the remainder
for the administrative work of the Library, including new offices
for the Librarian and the assistants in charge of the correspond-
ence. The space between the Reading Room and the Senn
Room, about 400 sq. ft., which was formerly occupied by the
Librarian's offices, has been added to the main Reading Room,
and a new Delivery Desk has been installed in an alcove adjoin-
ing this space. These changes add 30 seats to the capacity of
the Reading Room. In the Senn Room the stacks have been
removed, the working collection of recent and reference works
placed on the wall shelves, and the current medical periodicals in
new floor cases which also accommodate some 20 readers. The
new mezzanine floor will accommodate 20 readers admitted to the
stacks, so that the whole Library will now accommodate 275
readers at one time, and has shelving for 300,000 volumes.
There have been secured, also, a more convenient arrangement
of the administrative work, and a much more suitable entrance
to the Senn Room.
In connection with these changes there was installed in the
public rooms and over the cataloguers' desks the indirect
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 13
(I-comfort) system of electric lighting. In this system the
light is thrown up to the ceiling and thence reflected and
diffused throughout the room. Many of the old chandeliers
were used and the same lOOwatt tungsten lamps. In the Read-
ing Room 5,400 watts are used to light 3,600 sq. ft.; in the
Senn Room 3,000 watts to light 1,200 sq. ft.; in the Public
Catalogue Room 1,000 watts to light 400 sq. ft. ; over the cata-
loguers' desks i, 600 watts to light 800 sq. ft. The last named
space has a nearly white ceiling, while the others have as light
tints as are consistent with the wall decorations. The extra
allowance of current in the Senn Room and the Public Catalogue
Room is in part necessary to overcome the disadvantage, for this
system of lighting, of long and narrow rooms, but in part secures
better results. In them the light is ample, but in the Read-
ing Room about one out of ten readers appears to need
additional light from the table fixtures. The softness of the
light, its perfect diffusion, which eliminates shadows and lights
the lowest shelf as well as the highest, and the absence
of all visible brilliant points, are features which give great satis-
faction. The cost for the public rooms is entirely satisfactory,
being not more than ten per cent greater than direct illumina-
tion with tungsten lamps and holophane shades, and some 30
per cent less than the old method with carbon lamps. For light-
ing the assistants' desks, however, the cost is very great in com-
parison, for i, 600 watts are used to illuminate a space which
will accommodate comfortably only ten workers, and if a single
desk is occupied 800 watts must be used.
Further experiments on the lighting of the stacks have result-
ed in the installation in the new stacks of 2 5 -watt tungsten lamps
with holophane shades six feet apart instead of 4O-watt lamps
9 ft. apart. The amount of current used is practically the same,
but the light is better distributed. A minor improvement in-
troduced on an experimental stack is the use of white enamel on
the bottom shelf and the tilting of this shelf i ^ inches to the foot.
When the books are set back two inches from the edge of the
shelf the increased legibility of the shelf marks is very evident.
These changes were made under the supervision of Messrs.
Shipley, Rutan & Coolidge. A general contract with the Wm.
Mavor Co. covered all the work except furniture and fixtures.
14 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
The stacks were furnished by the Art Metal Construction Co.,
and are of their bracket type. The work was begun in July and
should have been completed by September I5th, but on account
of delays on the part of the sub-contractors was not fully
completed until late in the year. The architects have not yet
rendered a final account but the cost is within the appropria-
tions of $17,500 for alterations and $12,500 for furniture.
Early in the morning of October 3Oth a serious fire on the
fourth floor of the building and its rise through a pipe shaft
threatened the Library. Fortunately the fire was soon ex-
tinguished and the prompt action of the Library's janitor
prevented any damage to its property except by smoke. The
walls and ceilings were repainted at a cost of $194, which was
fully covered by insurance.
Department of Medical Sciences. The development of
the Department of Medical Sciences has gone on steadily. The
working collection has been increased to some 2,700 volumes,
and orders are outstanding which will bring this fully up to date.
The Martin purchase, to be mentioned later in more detail, has
notably strengthened the Department on the historical side, es-
pecially in gynecology and obstetrics. The uncatalogued sets of
periodicals have been reduced by 234, a beginning has been made
on the other older works, and the large number of unclassified
pamphlets has been greatly reduced. Out of 1,611 shelves of
the regular stacks only 405 are now in the old classification.
Some progress has been made in the cataloguing of the Senn
Collection and considerable in the classification of its pamphlets.
A list of the current periodicals shelved in the Senn Room and
of allied serials shelved elsewhere is in press and will be issued
early in 1910.
The rearrangement of the Senn Room and the change in
lighting it have been mentioned. It is believed that these changes
are generally accepted as improvements. At least, they have
not prevented an increase of about 10 per cent in the use of the
Senn Room, which is about half of the total increase in attendance.
Special Collections. The readjustment of the Senn Collec-
tion has been continued but attention has been given chiefly
to the cataloguing of the addition made by the Senn Estate
which is now practically complete. This has added 500 volumes
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 15
to the collection. As abundant shelf room is now available
it is hoped that the Geibel purchase can soon be entered
and catalogued. The older works on surgery will then be trans-
ferred from the regular shelves and this will bring the Collection
to approximately its final size.
From the proceeds of its special fund ten volumes have been
added to the Huntington W. Jackson Collection on Constitu-
tional Law, which now contains 483 titles, of which 36 of the
most costly have been purchased from the fund.
Routine. No change of importance has been made in the
routine of the library. The treatment of unmounted single
maps adopted in 1908 has proved so satisfactory that it has been
extended to include engravings and other single plates whose
subjects are within the scope of the Library.
Attendance. The total number of visitors recorded during
the year was 134,579, and the daily average 430, an increase of
four per cent over the figures for 1908, which were 130,049 and
414 respectively. The increase in the use of the Senn Room
would account for about half of the total increase. That it has
not been as great as in previous years is probably due to the
combined action of three causes, namely: the unavoidable annoy-
ance and disturbance of readers due to the alterations, the un-
usually mild fall, and the absence of any notable gatherings of
scholars in the city during the holidays.
The evening attendance has increased quite normally from 83
to 89 ; that on the five general holidays in rather larger propor-
tion from 172 to 189. The smallest attendance was 125 on
December 2$th, and the largest 857 on February 27th. The
figures for 1908 were 139 and 815 respectively. The increase
in the maximum attendance is remarkable and indicates how
necessary was the additional provision for readers.
Use. Both the recorded number of calls for books from the
stacks and for periodicals from the alcove is smaller than in 1908.
The figures are 107,006 and 20,261 as against 108,662 and
20,980 respectively. Using the same factor as in previous years
the total use of books and periodicals is 382,000 as against
389,000, a decrease of 1.8 per cent. This decrease in recorded
use notwithstanding an increase in attendance is probably due
to the fact that the causes already mentioned as tending to
16 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
lessen the attendance would tend even more strongly to lessen
the amount of reading done by those who came to the library,
and also- to the fact that about one-half of the increased attend-
ance was in the Senn Room, where no record is kept of the use
of periodicals and from which come proportionately few calls for
books from the stacks.
A detailed classification of the call slips for books and peri-
odicals and of admissions to the stack is given in the second
table of library statistics. The following table gives a compari-
son of the totals and percentages for each department with the
corresponding figures for 1908:

Applied Sciences 49,194 39 49,586 38 748 31 741 28
The changes are insignificant unless the increase in Social
Sciences, which is largely in political economy, is due to the
addition to the public catalogues of a considerable number of
titles from the Gerritsen purchase. Insignificant also are the
changes in the calls for single subjects, except increases of one-
third in landscape gardening and of nearly one-half in "associa-
tions and institutions" (charities and insurance), and a decrease
of nearly four-fifths in paleontology. The first six subjects in
order are: engineering, medicine, political economy, trade and
transportation, physics, chemical technology. The subjects are
the same as last year, but engineering and medicine have changed
places and so have political economy and physics.
The admissions to the stack were 2,437, a decrease of 234
or nine per cent. The number is too small to make such a
change of any significance, for it may be due to the absence of
a few individuals. Of the admissions recorded, 1602 were by
registration and 835 on presentation of 32 passes. Three ad-
ditional passes have been granted, leaving 91 nominally in force.
The loans for use outside the Library were nearly the same
in number as in 1908. There were granted 107 requests from
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 17
33 libraries and 105 requests from 47 individuals. Seven re-
quests from libraries were refused. In 1908 the loans were 230
and the refusals seven. In six cases the books loaned were
asked for while out.
The calls for assistance by telephone were 363 and the re-
quests for information by letter were 165. No record of this /
additional service of the Library has been kept hitherto, but it
is thought that these figures denote a substantial increase over
previous years.
For 1909 the time required to fill calls has been determined
for one day in each week, an equal number of each day having
been taken, but not in regular order. The advantage of this
constant supervision of the work is evident to those responsible
for it, but the gain undoubtedly secured is not shown by the
figures. This is because this year all calls filled by the regular
attendants have been counted whereas previously those for books
not on the regular shelves were omitted. The average time thus
found was 3.66 minutes as against 3.00 minutes in 1908.
The record of the causes of failures to supply books called
for which should have been supplied is as follows: due to alter-
ations in the stacks, 8; at bindery, 418; in use by another read-
er, 576; withdrawn from general circulation, 101 ; not found on
shelves, 286; errors of library assistants or records, 68; total,
1,457. The total is 1.36 per cent of the total call slips presented,
while in 1908 the percentage was 1.76. Excluding the first
four causes as- unavoidable, the avoidable failures were 354, or
0.4 per cent, as against O.6 per cent in 1908. This improve-
ment, especially in view of the confusion caused by the altera-
tions, is very creditable to the attendants.
Publications. In March the Library issued its Fourteenth
Annual Report, a pamphlet of 72 pages. Besides the usual
matter it contained the By-Laws of the Corporation as amended
and adopted at the meeting of the Board of Directors held
April 16, 1908. An edition of 4,500 copies was printed and
distributed.
In June the Library printed as a pamphlet of six leaves,
a small edition of its Catalogue Rules, supplementary to the
code adopted by the American Library Association and
the [British] Library Association, and to the supplementary
i8 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
rules of the Library of Congress. This pamphlet was not
put on sale.
In November the Library issued the second edition of the List
of Books in the Reading Room, a volume of 496 pages. It con-
tains the titles of some 4,000 volumes, including, besides general
works of reference, significant works, both advanced and pop-
ular, on subjects within the scope of the Library. The selection
is primarily in the hands of the Reference Librarian, and the
revision for this edition was made chiefly by Mr. C. H. Brown.
The titles were printed from electrotypes made from the type
used to print the catalogue cards. When this method was first
used, in 1900, it was hoped that it would secure for later editions
a marked economy, especially through the avoidance of proof-
reading. As, however, library salaries have not advanced in
proportion to the advance in the prices for paper and press work,
and as, moreover, all titles obtained from the Library of Congress
have to be set by this Library in order to secure electrotypes,
the economy is probably very small, while the time required to
print is certainly very long.
There is now in press a List of Current Medical Periodicals,
which should be issued early in 1910. The List of Histories of
Science and the new edition of the List of Serials should also be
issued in 1910. Material has been collected for a List of
Histories of A rts and Industries.

The distribution of one copy of each catalogue card to the
Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago Public Library, Field
Museum of Natural History, Library of Congress, Northwestern
University, Princeton University, University of Chicago, Uni-
versity of Illinois, and University of Michigan, and of a selection
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 19
to the American Institute of Mining Engineers and the U. S.
Geological Survey, has been continued. Orders have been
received from seven new sources, of which the most important are
the Franklin Institute, the Illinois State Water Survey, and the
School of Education of the University of Chicago. In all 84,392
cards have been sent to the depository libraries, 771 given away,
and 61,573 s ld or sent in exchange. From the Library of
Congress there have been received in exchange 40,609 cards,
making a total of 390,069 in the depository catalogue.
Selection and Ordering. For the first nine months of the year
the work of selection and ordering was kept up to date and a not
inconsiderable portion of the arrears was made up. Unfortunately
the illness of the Librarian in the last three months prevented
all steady effort, and most unfortunately affected the orders for
works in English as well as for those in foreign languages.
During the year 8,877 orders were given. Of these 937
failed or were canceled, leaving 7,940 valid orders, covering
30,334 volumes at an estimated cost of $24,462. Of outstand-
ing orders, 7,775 were filled, covering 31,862 volumes at a cost
of $25,679. There are left outstanding 3,172 orders, at an
estimated cost of $2 ,062 ; of these 1 ,243 were given before
January i, 1909. The distribution of the orders of the year,
of the total to the end of 1909, and the estimated cost to the
nearest dollar, are given in the second table of library statistics.
The figures given there and above are net ; that is, the volumes of
duplicates sold and the amounts received for them are deducted.
Accessions. The total accessions for 1909 have been 20, 135,
of which 4,773 have been received as gifts and 15,362 obtained
by purchase. Volumes made by binding serials are included in
these figures. There have been withdrawn 1,257 volumes,
leaving the net accessions for the year 18,878, which, with the
232,403 reported for 1908, make a total now on the books of
251,281. There remain to be entered the Geibel, Laufer, and
Martin purchases and a considerable portion of the Gerritsen
purchase.
The accession record for maps and plates was opened early
in the year, and the total entries at the end of 1909 were 1,581.
The number of pamphlets received was very large, 11,484
having been received as gifts and some 4,000 obtained by
20 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
purchase. Author slips for 1 1,390 were filed in the official cata-
logue and the classified collection has been increased by 12,722.
The last number includes the preceding but these two have no
necessary connection with the first. Many of the pamphlets
received are duplicates and many more are continuations or
for various reasons are not put in the pamphlet collection.
On the other hand, many pamphlets already in the Library have
been classified and entered in the official catalogue. Of the
12,722 net accessions in the classified collection, 2,140 were
from the Senn Collection, some 2,625 from the unclassified
material in the Department of Medical Sciences, and some 1,200
from the Gerritsen purchase, leaving some 6,700 as the new ac-
cessions of the year. With the 4,000 of the Martin purchase
the total for the year is 10,700 and the total in the Library is
approximately 77,000. Their classification is shown in the
second table of library statistics.
The following table shows the distribution of the net
accessions for 1909 and of the totals entered, by departments,

Except for the Social Sciences the growth has been entirely
symmetrical, and the disproportion in that department is due
largely to a single purchase.
The periodicals currently received are 3,070, of which 648 are
received as gifts and 2,422 by subscription, at an estimated yearly
cost of $8,430.37. Their classification is shown in the second
table of library statistics.
The assistant in charge of the Continuation Record reports
1098 titles added to the list and 157 withdrawn, leaving 7,306 at
the end of the year. About 3,000 are obtained by subscription,
at a cost in 1909 of $4,674.65. These furnished 1,271 volumes
entered on the record of accessions. The other continuations
were received as gifts or in exchange, and furnished 1,180
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 21
volumes. There was an increase of more than 14 per cent in the
number of titles in the record, and yet very much more work
than in previous years was done in trying to keep the files com-
plete. For the gifts 620 first and 117 second requests were sent
and 43 reported to the Librarian for personal letters. For the
purchases 274 first and 24 second notifications were sent and 8
reported to the Librarian.
Among the purchases of the year several require special
mention. The first in time of receipt is a collection of some 4, 500
volumes in the Chinese, Japanese, Manchurian, Mongolian, and
Thibetan languages secured for the Library by Dr. Berthold
Laufer of the Field Museum of Natural History. Dr. Laufer
bought for the Newberry Library as well as for The John Crerar
Library, and kept in mind the division of field between the two.
The books already received were bought in Pekin, and another
consignment is expected when Dr. Laufer returns from Thibet,
to include his purchases in that country. As yet this purchase
is not available, but awaits the decision of the Directors as to
the best method of treating it.
The second notable purchase is that of the private library of
Dr. August Martin, of Greifswald and Berlin, comprising some
8,000 volumes and 4,000 pamphlets on gynecology and obstet-
rics. This collection was begun in 1830 by the father, Dr.
Eduard Martin, of Jena and Berlin. It is rich in the earlier
literature of its subjects. While there is considerable duplica-
tion, as a whole it materially strengthens the Library.
The third purchase is a complete set, lacking six volumes,
of the Atti and Rendiconti of the Italian Parliament from 1848
to date, a collection of 700 quarto volumes. So complete a set
is rare and its purchase makes a valuable addition to the collec-
tion of government documents.
Besides these may be mentioned the purchase of the Descrip-
tion de r ' Egypt e and the Reise der oesterreichischen Fregatte No-
vara. The sets of periodicals completed include: Annalen des
K. K. Naturhistorischen Hof museums, Annales de la science
agronomique, Annals of the Royal Botanic Garden (Calcutta),
Beitrdge zur Anthropologie und Urgeschichte Bayerns, Bibliotheca
medica, Bulletin de la Societe franqaise de physique, Bullet tino
della Societa Entomologica Italiana, Det Kongelige Danske
24 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
an average of $1.08 per volume. The cost of shelf -marking the
accessions of the year, together with a considerable amount of
repairing, inserting book-plates, and similar work, was $i ,3 19.23.
Catalogues. While the output of new titles is somewhat less
than in 1908, the added work caused by the preparation of the
List of Books in the Reading Room, which included the proof-
reading of 399 reset titles, and the new work of revising the
author slips for pamphlets, amounting to 9,259 in 1909, more
than account for the slight decrease in output.
The Cataloguer reports that during the year 6,085 new
titles have been prepared for print; 358 new titles typewrit-
ten ; 2 1 titles prepared for print to replace old typewritten
titles, and 8 to replace Library of Congress titles; 4,524
titles received from the Library of Congress have been classi-
fied for the catalogues; 686 titles have been prepared for the co-
operative analysis of serials. The total number of titles treated
by the Cataloguer and Classifier and their assistants has been
12,588, a decrease of 690 over 1908. The titles reprinted in cor-
rection of errors were 44, and for other alterations 893. Cards
for 6,581 new titles and 1,057 reprinted titles were received from
the printer, electrotypes for 781 new titles, and 387 reprinted
titles from the electrotypers. The total number of separate titles
prepared for print to date is 70,679; of sets of cards received,
70,587; of electrotypes, 38,505.
The number of orders sent to the Library of Congress on
triplicate order sheets was 8,577, and reports were received
on 7,848, leaving 729 outstanding. There were cards for 2,433
titles on hand January I, 1909; 6,046 were received during the
year, and 9 were taken from the file of those previously with-
drawn; cards for 4,732 were used, and for 1, 1 80 withdrawn from
the file, leaving those for 2,576 on hand December 31. Of those
withdrawn 894 titles were returned to the Library of Congress
and 36 were replaced by reprinted cards. Of the 6,046 titles
received, 902 were analytical titles from 277 serial publications.
The work of the Library in the co-operative analysis of
serials has been continued. It has supplied 686 titles and has
received cards for 2,351. Of the 2,351 titles, 469 have been
filed in the public card catalogues; one copy of 1,170 filed in
the official catalogue; and 576 have been sold.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 25
There have been added 30,723 cards to the classed catalogue,
which now contains some 105,600 titles on 272,400 cards,

Christian Bernsee, pages.
The following appointments have been made: Misses
Margaret Furness and Selma Nachman, senior assistants; Mrs.
Alberta M. Whidden and Mr. Hugo Popper, junior assistants;
Misses Grace D. McMahon, Edith Ashmore and Clara B.
Touzalin, temporary junior assistants; Messrs. Edward W.
Westland, Charles V. Stewart, and Clarence J. Griggs, attend-
ants; Christian Bernsee, Harold Sheddy, and Ferdinand Bauer,
pages.
The following have given temporary service: Mr. Edward D.
Tweedell as Reference Librarian; Messrs. Jay T. Conway and
Robert J. Usher as Assistant Reference Librarian ; Miss Cariola
Barker, Miss Louise Madsen, Mr. F. D. Hedges, Mr. G. L.

The Librarian desires to place on record his appreciation of
the faithful and efficient work of the staff under unusual and
trying circumstances.
