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 of this state," approved June 17, 1891,
under which this corporation is organized, the Directors of The John
Crerar Library submit their twenty-seventh annual report for the
year 1921.
No change has occurred in the membership of the Board, which
is composed of the following persons: Robert T. Lincoln, Frank S.
Johnson, Marvin Hughitt, Thomas D. Jones, John J. Mitchell,
Leonard A. Busby, Robert Forsyth, Chauncey Keep, Frederick H.
Rawson, Albert A.' Sprague II, Walter B. Smith, Chauncey B.
Borland, and Rollin D. Salisbury, together with William Hale
Thompson, Mayor of Chicago, and George F. Harding, Comptroller
of Chicago, ex-officio members.
The officers of the Library are as follows: President, Marvin
Hughitt; First Vice-President, Thomas D. Jones; Second Vice-
President, Robert Forsyth; Secretary, Walter B. Smith; Treasurer,
William J. Louderback; Librarian, Clement W. Andrews.
On January 2ist the Library's building was accepted from the
contractors, subject to completion, and it was placed in charge
of Messrs. Albert H. Wetten & Co., who had already negotiated the
leases for the space not occupied by the Library. Their administra-
tion is under the supervision of the Committee on Buildings and
Grounds. The general contract was closed as of March i5th, but
some of the special contracts for hardware, electric lighting fixtures
and equipment were not filled until the last of May.
The cost of construction was $1,268,872.94 and of equipment,
net after deducting sales of old material, $81,844.83. This was
only $49,917.77 more than the original estimate, and only $1,649.73
of this was on the general contract. In view of the unforeseen
delays and the marked increase in the cost of building which oc-
curred during the construction, the Directors feel that great credit
is due to the Building Committee, architects, and contractors.

8 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
The use of the temporary reading room on the third floor was
continued until February i2th, when the Department of Medical
Sciences and the current periodicals were moved to their per-
manent quarters, and the general reading room to the fifteenth
floor. The main reading room was not completely equipped
until May 27th, which date may be considered the date of the
completion of the building. It was dedicated on Saturday, May
28th, and all of the rooms thrown open to the public on
May 3<Dth.
The building provides an increase of one-third in the number
of seats for readers, adequate and very conveniently arranged space
for the administrative work, and sufficient space under normal
conditions for eight to ten years' growth of the collections. While
it lacks, in comparison with the larger building which was planned ,
certain architectural features and the feeling of spaciousness which
these would have given, yet the Directors hope and believe that
the readers find the accommodation offered them far more satis-
factory than the old, and that the citizens generally consider
the building worthy of its site.
The details of the amount of books and other material which had
to be removed will be found in the report of the Librarian. The
cost of the removal was $32,450.35.
The recorded attendance for the last seven months of the year
was 57,328 and the total use of books and periodicals during that
time may be estimated at 233,000. The record shows that the use
is increasing steadily and that if the Library were open evenings
it would already be larger than ever before. The Directors regret
that the deficit in operation during the last two years, when very
little income could be derived from the real estate, makes it neces-
sary, in their opinion, to continue to keep the Library closed in
the evening until this deficit has been met.
The collections have been increased by 12,856 volumes and
1 26,989 pamphlets, and now contain approximately 45 2,000 volumes,
14,000 maps and plates, and 300,000 pamphlets. The Library has
on its record 4,319 titles of current periodicals and 15,054 other
serials; but notwithstanding the receipt of several large consign-
ments from Germany and other European countries it is evident
that many of these, especially of the continuations, must be can-
celled as no longer published or as unobtainable.
REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 9
For all details in regard to the administration of the Library,
reference is made to the appended report of the Librarian.
The report of the Treasurer, also appended, presents, as required
by law, a statement of the income and expenditures for the year
1921, and a statement of the assets and investments.
Respectfully submitted,
MARVIN HUGHITT,
President.

REPORT OF THE TREASURER I3
The deficit for the year as shown by the books is $35,598.75.
Of this sum, in accordance with the instructions of the Board,
$11,548.40 has been charged to the Book Purchase Reserve, being
the overdraft of the appropriations for Books of $9,048.40 and trans-
fer of $2,500.00 to Binding, leaving a net deficit of $24,050.35.
The Book Fund has been increased by the amount of the in-
vestment during the year, less depreciation, and now stands at
$575,059-62.
The income of the Huntington W. Jackson Fund has been ex-
pended for Books and that of the Henry Gradle Memorial Fund for
Periodicals.
The income from the Endowment of the Collection of the
Chicago Academy of Sciences for 1921 is $250.00; of this amount
$200.00 was sent to the Academy in accordance with the terms
of the gift and the balance, $50.00, will be expended to continue
the sets of society publications.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM J. LOUDERBACK,
Treasurer.
CHICAGO, January 19, 1922.
To THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY:
Dear Sirs: We have audited the books and accounts of THE
JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY, for the year ending December 31, 1921.
We examined and compared book values with market quotations of
all securities, which we found to have an aggregate market value of less
than the book values. We also verified the cash on hand and balances
in banks.
We accordingly certify that, in our opinion, the attached statements
truly set forth the cash receipts and disbursements, the results from
operations for the year, and the assets and liabilities at the end of the
year. Very truly yours,
THE AUDIT COMPANY OF NEW YORK,
E. C. GOODMAN,
Western Manager.
Chicago, February 8, 1922
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY:
Gentlemen: The year 1921 must always be memorable in the
history of the Library as marking the dedication and formal open-
ing of the Library building It will be remembered by the present
members of the staff not only because of their interest in this event
but also on account of the changes in the conditions of their work
and of the many unusual features connected with the removal and
installation. While those who use the Library will have little
occasion to remember the date, the year has been of importance to
them not only because of the greater physical facilities offered but
also on account of a noteworthy addition to the collections
Building. Some details as to the results of seven months
experience in the new building may be added to the general state-
ments in the Report of the President. The character, appearance,
and arrangement of the Reading Rooms and other accommoda-
tions for readers have been highly approved by them. The increased
number of seats was greatly needed and will probably be sufficient
for a few years to come. The ventilation and lighting of these rooms
is very satisfactory. The same statements can be made for the
workrooms and offices, and here the more convenient arrangement
and adequate space have greatly facilitated the routine work.
The main disadvantages of the present arrangements are the
separation of the stacks from the delivery desks and of the refer-
ence librarians from the official catalogue and other records. The
first is not felt so much in an increase of the time required to send
the books from the stacks to the desks as in the diminished control
over the attendants and the readers admitted to the stacks.
This difficulty has been met by a rearrangement of the duties of
the assistants who shelve the books after their return to the stacks,
to include supervision of the attendants and readers. The second
has been met, to some extent at least, by the installation of a sys-
tem of house telephones.
A still more serious disadvantage of the present building is the
limited amount of space which could be devoted to readers and
14
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 15
stacks. Although there are on the twelfth and fourteenth floors
one-third more seats than in the old quarters, yet since on Decem-
ber 3ist three out of four seats were occupied it is evident that with
normal increase of use the rooms will be crowded long before 1932.
The provision for storage is more nearly sufficient, but the amount
of oversize and peculiar material which had not been taken into
account fully has diminished the margin counted on. A large mass
of duplicates will have to be disposed of summarily as the storage
space is none too large for the electrotypes, spare shelving and other
furniture, and the more valuable duplicates.
While these disadvantages are not trivial they seem so in com-
parison with the comfort, convenience, greater capacity, and dig-
nity of the building, and only one of them, the separation of read-
ing rooms and stacks, is permanent; the others will be remedied or
greatly diminished when the Library is able to extend the building
as planned.
Removal. The removal of the chief part of the collections from
temporary storage to the permanent shelves was begun December
6th, 1920, and completed March 26th, 1921. It could not be made
in shorter time because it was dependent on the re-erection of the
old stacks, which required considerable readjustment. Fortunately
there was no occasion for haste since the general contract for
construction was not completed until March and the special con-
tracts for lighting fixtures, hardware, and equipment were not filled
until May. This delay gave time for the readjustment of the books
on the shelves to provide for the 50,000 volumes which for various
reasons were not in the main collection. When the Library was
formally opened, on May 3oth, all of the 420,000 volumes were in
place and available.
The temporary reading room on the third floor was given up
on February nth but there was no break in the service to the
public, except for two days with the current periodicals, for the
latter and the Department of Medical Sciences were transferred
immediately to their permanent locations, and a temporary general
reading room was fitted up in the Map Room on the fifteenth floor.
The method of the second removal was the same as was used
in the first and described in the report for 1920, except that, as the
buildings adjoined, no dray was required. The total cost of all the
removals was $32,050.35, at least three times what it would have
16 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
been had the building been ready at the contract date. The amount
of material moved was as follows : more than 400,000 volumes and
150,000 pamphlets, three times; 3,500 catalogue trays twice and the
contents of 2,000 three times; more than 2,000 boxes of printed
cards, twice; of the furniture, 330 chairs, 35 desks, 36 large and 28
small tables, 17 large cases, 1,000 double sections of stacks with
15,000 shelves, several thousand feet of wooden shelving, two large
portraits, and very many smaller items, all twice and some a
third time.
Department of Medical Sciences. The Senn Room, on the
twelfth floor, is not as elaborate in architectural treatment as the
General Reading Room, but is dignified and comfortable and
more likely to prove adequate in size. Certainly the service to the
readers is not less adequate. The Senn Collection has been placed
in a balcony in this room. The balcony not only houses the collec-
tion but has accommodation for a reader using it, and adds greatly
to the appearance of the room. The total seating capacity of the
Senn Room and the catalogue and periodical space adjoining is 7 1 ,
without crowding, against a very crowded 60 in the old quarters.
Routine. The mechanism of the routine work has been simpli-
fied and improved by the installation of the staff in their new
quarters, but the routine itself has undergone no noteworthy
change. Mention might be made, however, of the preparation of a
consolidated report of the Library's work. This has been made
by dissecting the twenty-six annual reports which have been issued
and reassembling the paragraphs chronologically by subjects. The
expectation that this treatment would facilitate reference to the
records and the study of the history of each particular activity has
been confirmed fully by experience.
Special Collections. From the income of its special fund seven
titles have been added to the Huntington Jackson Collection on
Constitutional Law, which now contains 1,143 titles, of which 140
have been purchased from the fund.
Of the Senn Collection 5,585 volumes have been placed in the
Senn Room, but 92 shelves are still unclassified. The Senn Room
will accommodate some of these but the rest and the pamphlets
will have to be kept elsewhere until the building is extended.
The income from the fund for the Gradle Collection on the Eye
and Ear has been spent for periodicals and 35 volumes have been
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 17
added to the 467 already having the bookplate. There are now
1,023 titles of books and some 3,000 pamphlets in the collection.
The Chanute Collection on Aviation now contains 825 books,
some 635 pamphlets, and 2,500 clippings.
The Cremation Association of America has continued the
support of its collection, which now contains 177 titles of books and
261 pamphlets.
There have been added 121 volumes, 174 pamphlets, and 212
numbers of periodicals to the collection of the Chicago Academy
of Sciences.
The collection of Trade Catalogues has been increased by 387
pieces, in continuance of previous gifts and in response to 25
requests. It now contains 5,899 pieces from 2,359 firms.
The David L. Barnes Memorial Library is now being examined.
There are in the collection 1,791 volumes and 290 pamphlets. Many
of the volumes are duplicates of copies already in the Library but
those which are not are of an unusual and desirable character and
could not be purchased easily.
Attendance. The total number of visitors recorded from June
ist to December 3ist was 57,328, a daily average of 317. The num-
ber for each month is given in the first table of statistics. The
steadily diminishing number of sightseers is evident from the
ratio of calls for books to visitors, which increases steadily from 283
calls from 344 visitors daily in June to 591 calls from 341 visitors
daily in December.
In the comparison with previous years it should be remembered
that the Library is not now open in the evening. If the attend-
ance were evenly distributed this would mean a loss of about 30
per cent., but the records of past years show that the evening
attendance was only about 17 per cent of the total. The many
changes in conditions of use made any record of visitors and calls
in the temporary reading rooms of so little value that these figures
are not presented. Since June ist the conditions have been normal,
and the figures for these months are of interest both in comparison
with the past and as a starting point for the future. The record of
visitors is probably not quite so complete as in the past for it now
has to be made at the delivery desks instead of at the Cloak Room,
and it is evident that attendants in the latter would be much less
preoccupied in their regular duties. On the other hand the record
i8 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
of calls is kept exactly as before and this is the most reliable index
of the usefulness of the Library.
Use. The recorded use is given only for June to December.
The calls for books were 76,728, a daily average of 423. The daily
average rose steadily from 283 in June to 591 in December. The
maximum in previous years was 709 in March, 1915, and if one-
sixth be deducted from this for the evening use it will be found that
the Library already, for the time that it is open, equalled the pre-
vious maximum. Using the same factors as in the past the total
use for the seven months may be estimated at 233,0x^0 volumes and
periodicals.
A detailed classification of the call slips for books and of the
admissions to the stacks is given in the second table of library statis-
tics. The following table gives the totals and percentages for each
department.

A comparison with the figures for 1919 shows a marked increase
for the Medical Sciences, the corresponding loss being shared in
almost exact proportion by the other departments. The five lead-
ing subjects are the same and in the same order as in 1919; medi-
cine, engineering, chemical technology, trade and transportation,
political economy; but for the sixth position psychology has taken
the place of chemistry.
Of the admissions to the stack, 400 have been by registration
and 119 upon presentation of 12 passes. Five additional passes
have been granted making a total of 124 nominally in force. The
altered conditions make necessary a revision of the method of admit-
ting to the stack and this would be a suitable time for beginning a
new registration of passes. The present registration includes many
which will never be used again by the original holders and precau-
tions should be taken to prevent their use by others. The record
shows a surprising preponderance of research in medicine and this

would have been still greater had the upper stack chamber, which
contains the medical works, not been closed until October. It is
not clear why this feature of the Library's work has not recovered
as quickly as the others.
Because of the large number of sightseers in the first months
any comparison of the proportion of calls to readers would be mis-
leading.
The recorded cases of assistance by telephone for the seven
months were 720 and by letter 77. The figures for the whole of
1920 were 1028 and 183 respectively.
The cameragraph was not installed until June 8th but while it
was not in use the work was done by a commercial house. The
total work of the year was 2,564 sheets on 265 orders with charges
of $623.25. Of this 843 sheets on 121 orders were done commer-
cially at a cost of $353.80 and 1,721 sheets on 144 orders by the
Library with charges amounting to $276.45.
In view of the fact that after June ist return was made to the
normal conditions for loans for use outside the Library, it is not sur-
prising that the number of such loans was less than in 1920. Never-
theless, there were granted 730 requests for 842 volumes from 131
libraries and 847 requests from 366 individuals. The figures for
1920 were 1,017 volumes to 127 libraries and 1,073 loans to 401
individuals. Ten requests from libraries were refused. In two
cases the books loaned were asked for while out. The loans obtained
by the Library for its readers were 29 for 34 volumes from five
libraries. Five requests were refused.
The time required to fill calls in the month of December was
about seven minutes. At first the conditions were such as to make
the work slow and uncertain and only as the inventory progresses
do they become normal. Still the December record does not make
unreasonable the hope that eventually the tune may be reduced to
five minutes, which ought to be considered satisfactory.
For the reasons already mentioned any statement of the failures
to supply books called for would be worthless for comparison either
with the past or the future.
It is now possible to determine quite accurately the percentage of
use of the Senn Room. This has been done in two ways, by com-
parison of the calls from the twelfth floor with the total calls, and
the comparison of one-half the attendance on that floor with the
/r:?

total attendance. The assumption that the number of readers in
the Senn Room and in the Periodical Room are practically equal
was based upon observation. The two computations agree in giving
the use of the Senn Room as one-fifth of the total use. The differ-
ence between this percentage and the 23 per cent, of books on
the medical sciences called for is explained by the calls for non-
technical works, such as those on hygiene, from the General Read-
ing Room.
The new Class Room, on the twelfth floor, is much more com-
fortable than the old Society Room. This, and perhaps also the
more conspicuous location, has increased the demand for it, not-
withstanding the fact that those who use it in the evening are
required to reimburse the Library for elevator service and other
attendance. During 1921 it has been used regularly by the Chicago
Pathological Society, Chicago Ornithological Society, Chicago
Society of Model Engineers and Chicago Oral Teachers League and
for occasional meetings by the Executive Board of the American
Library Association, Chicago Geographical Society, Chicago Library
Club, Chicago Pediatric Society, Chicago Laryngological Society,
Executive Committee of the Gen. Henry Dearborn Chapter of the
D.A.R., Lectures by Dr. Karl Linder, of Vienna, on Bacteriology,
Chicago Press Writers Club, Conference in connection with Con-
vention of the Visiting Nurses' Association, Chicago Chapter of the
American Association of Teachers of Spanish, Board of Directors
of the Ella Flagg Young Club.
Publications. In June the Library issued its Twenty-sixth
Annual Report, a pamphlet of 31 pages. Besides the usual matter,
it contained as a frontispiece a cut of the building as seen from
Grant Park. Because of the cost "of printing, the List of Donors was
omitted for the first time. It is to be hoped that this feature can
be restored soon if not immediately, for it is both an expression
of gratitude and a valuable indication of the wide extent of the
interests of the Library. An edition of 5,000 copies was printed
and nearly all distributed. No other publication was made but
a new edition of the Handbook should be prepared as soon as
possible.
The numbers of the various publications remaining in stock
are given in the following table, which shows their distribution
during the year.

Printed Cards. The distribution of one copy of each catalogue
card to the Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago Public Li-
brary, Field Museum of Natural History, Library of Congress,
Northwestern University, University of Chicago, and the Uni-
versity of Illinois, has been continued; also the sending of one copy
of each card printed by the Library to Harvard University, New
York State Library, Princeton University, Royal Library at The
Hague, St. Louis Public Library, University of California, Uni-
versity of Iowa, University of Michigan, and Yale University.
Besides three special orders of limited scope, four standing orders
have been received. The distribution amounted to 131,362 cards,
of which 54,926 were sent to the depository libraries, 897 sent as
gifts, and 75,539 sold or sent in exchange.

The Catalogue has been installed on the fifteenth floor in the
cases which formerly held the Public Catalogues and for the first
22 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
time in several years there is room for the incorporation of the
foreign cards. This work is now in progress.
Selection and Ordering. During the year 5,020 orders were
given. Of these 351 failed or were cancelled, leaving 4,669 valid
orders covering 5,764 volumes at an estimated cost of $11,694;
3,800 orders were filled, covering with the standing orders for con-
tinuations 9,425 volumes at a cost of $19,581. There are left out-
standing, in addition to the orders for continuations, 4,200 orders
for 4,644 volumes at an estimated cost of $5,948; of these 2,376 were
given before January i, 1921.
The work of selection has been made more difficult by several
conditions such as the absorption of much of the Librarian's time in
the details of moving and installation, the uncertainty of foreign
exchange, the increase in the prices of periodicals and new books;
the changes in the proportion of new publications on the different
subjects within the scope of the Library, but most of all by the
smallness of the appropriation for books. It is evidently much
easier to select both of two good books than to choose between
them
The method of ordering has been changed from one by subjects
to a strictly alphabetical one. This change has simplified the
routine and eliminated duplication so much as to increase the rate
noticeably. The orders have more than kept up with the selection
though this has not quite kept up with the output of new pub-
lications.
The transfer of orders for German publications to the firm of
Otto Harrassowitz, of Leipzig, has proved satisfactory. The orders
are filled more promptly and under present conditions much more
cheaply than any American agent could furnish them. The price
in marks continues to increase, but the lowering of the Valutaaus-
gleich to 100 per cent together with the low rate of exchange makes
it possible to buy new books at reasonable prices. It is greatly to
be regretted that the reduced appropriation prevents second-hand
purchases which would be real bargains.
One other factor in the situation should be mentioned. While
the outstanding orders were reduced over $4,000 the overdraft on
the Book Purchase Reserve was $9,000. The difference is due to the
receipt of a large amount of material published during or imme-
diately after the War, which was supplied on standing orders. It
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 23
is impracticable to determine how much more will be sent on these
orders, but if it is any considerable amount, the cost will have to be
met by a still sharper curtailment of orders for new publications.
Accessions. The total accessions of volumes for 1021 have
been 13,736, of which 4,311 have been received as gifts and 9,425
obtained by purchase. Volumes made by binding serials are in-
cluded in these figures. There have been withdrawn 880 volumes,
leaving the net accessions for the year 12,856, which with the
425,565 reported for 1920 make the total now on the books438,42i.
There remain to be entered only the Laufer purchase, about 14,000
volumes. This has its own catalogue, and particular books can be
obtained when asked for, so that the total number of volumes
now available is about 452,000.
The number of maps and plates added during 1921 was 658,
making the total number now on the record 13,830.
There have been received 15,105 pamphlets as gifts and approx-
imately 120,000 on the natural sciences by purchase; author slips
for 2,399 titles were filed in the official catalogue; the classified
collection was increased by 6,602 pamphlets; and the collection of
trade catalogues by 387. The number added to the classified collec-
tion includes the number of titles filed but both these numbers have
no necessary connection with the number reported as received.
Many of the pamphlets received are duplicates, and many more are
continuations, or for various reasons are put elsewhere than in the
pamphlet collection. Their classification is shown in the second
table of library statistics. To the classified collection of 140,414
should be added those still unclassified, about 150,000, and the
trade catalogues, 5,899, making a total of approximately 300,000.

Except for an unusual increase in the Natural Sciences due to
accessions from the Junk purchase the growth has been symmetrical
and the percentages of the totals in the different departments re-
main the same as in 1920.
The assistants in charge of periodicals report on the two lists,
general and medical, 4,335 copies of 4,319 titles, two less than
in 1920. Of these 1,288 were received as gifts, and the estimated
cost of the 3,031 subscriptions is $8,112. Although 290 titles
were removed from the lists, some for economy, but most be-
cause of the death of the periodicals, 288 were added, mostly by
gift-
Several large consignments of back numbers of German periodi-
cals were received, so that 5,363 volumes were bound, 500 more than
in 1920 and 400 more than in any preceding year. The work of
keeping the files complete by requests, claims, and acknowledge-
ments, was also unusually heavy, amounting to 2,030 pieces of cor-
respondence for the general list and 85 for the medical. Besides
the shipments from the agents many gaps were filled by pur-
chase from, or exchange with other libraries on a co-operative system
devised and carried out by a committee of the American Library
Association. The Library was able to reciprocate from its collection
of duplicates. Notwithstanding these receipts it will be some time
before a definite statement can be made of the losses caused by the
War.
The assistant in charge of the Continuation Record reports 688
titles added to the list and 259 withdrawn, leaving 15,054 at the
end of the year. About 5,943 are obtained by subscription at a
cost in 1921 of $5,476. These furnished 1,276 volumes entered on
the record of accessions. The other continuations were received as
gifts or in exchange, and furnished 1,642 volumes. For the gifts
1,152 first and 400 second requests were sent and four reported to
the Librarian for personal letters. For the purchases 246 notifica-
tions were sent.
The expectation of a marked decrease in the number of titles
has not been realized, chiefly because the pressure of other work has
prevented the revision. Here, as with the periodicals, the receipt
of large shipments of German publications has made the work very
heavy. They are responsible, also, for the increase in the cost, which
has risen to within $600 of the maximum.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 25
With the diminished appropriation for books it is evident that
as a rule only new publications can be considered and there are but
two noteworthy exceptions in the purchases of the year. One of
these is a set of the Zeitschrift fur Chemie. It is a short set, only
14 volumes, but it contains the original articles by Hofmann, Ke-
kule, and others, which form the basis of modern organic chemistry,
and its acquisition is especially notable because it completes the
list of chemical periodicals selected twenty-six years ago.
The other noteworthy purchase is the collection of pamphlets on
the natural sciences mentioned in the reports for 1919 and 1920.
The shipment, in 109 cases, was received in April, but no con-
tinuous work could be done on it until October. So far eighteen
cases have been opened. The contents have been divided into
volumes, i.e., bound pieces (an unexpectedly large number) or un-
bound pieces of over 100 pages; pamphlets, i.e., independent pub-
lications unbound and less than 100 pages; dissertations, including
school programmes and similar material; continuations, i.e., com-
plete parts of larger works; reprints; and excerpts. There were
obtained from the eighteen cases, which were taken as convenient
without reference to their serial numbers: 761 volumes, 923 pam-
phlets, 2,507 dissertations, 1,596 continuations, 4,864 reprints, and
5,915 excerpts. It might be thought that multiplying by six would
give approximately the totals in the collection, but this would not
be a safe assumption, for the contents of the boxes vary, as the
farmer said of his crops, so much that there isn't any average.
The boxes are of approximately the same size and weight yet the
number in them has varied, curiously enough in two boxes opened
in succession, from 309 to 1,964; the number of excerpts from 23 to
998; and the number of dissertations from 5 to 1,310.
The first two classes have already furnished 851 volumes for the
shelves and 323 additions to the classified pamphlet collection.
The excess of volumes added and the small proportion of pam-
phlets added, in comparison with the numbers reported above, are
explained by the fact that about one-third of the pamphlets are
important enough to justify binding and treating as books. In
these two classes the duplication of material already in the Library
has been 184 pieces out of 1,356, an unexpectedly small proportion.
The duplication in the collection itself so far has been negligible.
The dissertations are almost all earlier than the beginning of the
26. THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
Library's sets and there will be little duplication in this class.
These have also been made available at once. The continuations
will be largely duplicates but a considerable proportion of them can
be treated as reprints. As was expected, the latter and the ex-
cerpts will be, for the most part, duplicates of articles already in
the Library in the periodicals from which they were reprinted or
cut. They will be arranged by subject and thus greatly facilitate
research work, but their treatment will be postponed until all
material not in the Library has been cared for.
As an indication of the value of the collection for research it
may be stated that already it has enabled the Library to meet two
calls for unusual items. One was found a week after the request and
the other a day after. In the latter case the reference librarian had
some difficulty in convincing the inquirer that the first reply of
denial was not due to carelessness or ignorance.
Of the 851 volumes entered 21 were in General Works, 10 in the
Social Sciences, 73 in the Physical Sciences, 631 in the Natural
Sciences, 28 in the Medical Sciences, and 88 in the Applied Sciences;
of individual subjects, 259 were on botany, 200 on zoology, 83 on
geology, 66 on agriculture, and the remainder scattered among 27
other subjects. It is evident, therefore, that not only is the value
of the collection greater than was expected but its range is broader.
There were received as gifts 8,472 volumes and 15,105 pamphlets
from 3,507 donors. The volumes entered in the record of accessions
were 4,311. The figures for 1920 were 5,034 volumes, 14,134
pamphlets, and 3,667 donors.
The largest gift included in these figures was the David L.
Barnes Memorial Library, already mentioned. Other large gifts
have been: of medical books, American Medical Association, 962
volumes and 606 pamphlets; Dr. Robert H. Babcock, 165 volumes;
Dr. Harry Gradle, 214 volumes and 600 pamphlets; Michael Reese
Hospital Library, 476 volumes; on economic subjects, Mr. Henry C.
Morris, 106 volumes and 927 pamphlets; of Swedish government
publications, Riksdagens Bibliotek, 139 volumes; of a general
character, the Estate of Mrs. Potter Palmer, 125 volumes and 614
pamphlets
Duplicates. The sales of the year amounted to 748 volumes
and 58 numbers, for $116.15. On priced exchange 36 volumes and
293 numbers have been received, valued at $172.18. On piece
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN , 27
for piece exchange 37 bound volumes, 33 unbound, 104 pamphlets,
and 102 numbers have been received. Fifteen numbers were sent.
Inventory. The ninth inventory was begun as soon as possible
after the final arrangement of the shelves. By the end of the year
level C, containing sections 360 to 549, had been completed. The
results are interesting as indicating the dislocation caused by three
removals and show clearly the necessity for completing the work
as soon as possible.
On the first reading 1,258 volumes were not in place, but when
the level was finished the number missing had been reduced to 246,
most of which undoubtedly will be found on the other five levels.
As the total number of volumes on the level was about 70,000 the
percentage of misplacement was surprisingly small. Fourteen
volumes reported missing in previous inventories were found and 26
serious misplacements were corrected.
From the General Reading Room 22 volumes are missing and
the same number from the Senn Room; 16 mutilations were
detected in medical books and 24 in others; of periodicals 49 were
missed, of which 38 were replaced; 22 mutilations were detected
of which 16 were replaced. During January and February, while
on the third floor, no effective supervision could be exercised
Omitting the results of the incomplete inventory, the net loss for
the year is 30 and the total for 24 years is 669.
Binding. On January i, 1921, there were at the bindery 1,521
volumes, and 8,481 were sent during the year; 19 were returned as
incomplete, and 7,953 bound; leaving 2,030 at the bindery Decem-
ber 31, 1921. The cost of binding was $13,698, an average of $1.72
per volume. This is an increase of eight per cent over 1920.
Catalogues. The Cataloguer reports that during the year
4,501 new titles have been prepared for print; 116 new titles type-
written; 43 titles prepared for print to replace old typewritten titles
and 12 to replace Library of Congress titles; 3,083 titles received
from the Library of Congress have been classified for the catalogues;
447 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 10,637, which is about 90 per
cent of the average number. The titles reprinted in correction of
errors were 30 and for other alterations 627. Cards for 4,530 new
titles and 490 reprinted titles were received from the printer; elec-
28 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
tro types for 253 new titles and 5 reprinted titles from the electro-
typers. The total number of separate titles prepared for print to
date is 135,276; of sets of cards received, 134,127; of electrotypes,
65,228.
The cost of electrotypes has fallen a little recently but it is still
far too high to permit electrotyping all titles, as was done in the first
few years. The electrotypes made for the purpose of preparing bul-
letins do not meet the demand for reprints of catalogue cards, for they
could furnish little more than one-tenth of those required during the
year and the other titles had to be reset. It was hoped that stereo-
type moulds would furnish a solution of the problem but experi-
ments made by Mr. H. E. Roelke showed that the results would not
be satisfactory. It is possible that a photographic process may be
more successful and investigation of the possibilities in this direction
has been undertaken.
The work of the printing office at Oquawka, under Mrs. Patter-
son, has been of the same high quality and the expense has been
only three-quarters of the original estimate. In addition to the
catalogue cards the office has printed a large proportion, over 26,000
pieces, of the forms and smaller printed matter used by the
Library.
The number of orders sent to the Library of Congress on tripli-
cate order sheets was 5,117 and reports were received on 4,762.
There were cards for 2,999 titles on hand January i, 1921; 3,499
were received during the year; cards for 3,189 were used in the public
catalogues; and for 339 withdrawn from the file; leaving those for
2,970 on hand December 3ist. Of those withdrawn 17 titles were
returned to the Library of Congress and 322 were cancelled. Of the
3,676 titles received, 696 were analytical titles from 361 serial pub-
lications. Of the 2,999 titles on hand 1,278 are for book orders be-
fore 1921, 684 for those of 1921, 562 for regular standing orders,
and 229 for a special analytical order. Two standing orders were
completed or cancelled and seven new standing orders given.
There have been added 22,181 cards to the classed catalogue,
which now contains some 226,300 titles on 609,068 cards, an aver-
age of 2.69 cards per title; 13,252 cards have been filed in the author
catalogue, which now contains the same 226,300 titles on 403,219
cards, an average of 1.78 cards per title; 1,031 guides and 5,774
cards have been added to the subject index, which now contains
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 29
31,294 guides and 96,613 cards covering 213,442 titles, an average
of 0.45 card per title.
The distribution of the cards in the classed catalogue, by depart-
ments, is shown in the following table:

Of the 226,300 titles in the public catalogues about 132,100
are on cards printed by the Library, about 80,100 on Library of
Congress cards, about 12,200 on A. L. A. co-operative cards, 321
on other printed cards, and about 1,500 are typewritten. The total
number of cards and guides is 1,140,194.
To the combined index of federal and state publications there
have been added 38,989 cards; the total is now 200,240.
The Cataloguer further reports that all the medical books
received from the Newberry Library, except those belonging to the
Senn Collection, have been reclassified and catalogued and that the
remainders of the Gerritsen and Ehrenburg purchases are now
being treated. Systematic work on the Gerritsen pamphlets has
resulted in making available those which deal with money and
banking, and the other branches of political economy will be taken
up next. The collection, supplemented by the other acquisitions
of the Library on the subject, is large and important. He suggests
that when the work on the Gerritsen pamphlets is finished the
Library's collection on the War be given similar treatment.
The arrears of work have been diminished appreciably.
Omitting the Orientalia, on which work has been continued by
Dr. Laufer, there were in 1919 476 shelves, of which 37 were
pamphlets; there are now 456, of which 22 are pamphlets.

During the year the Library has received 8,472 volumes and
15,105 pamphlets from 3,507 donors. The Directors regret their
inability to print the usual list of donors on account of the expense
involved. To the individual acknowledgments of these gifts which
have been made they add this general expression of their gratitude.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
To THE GOVERNOR or 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 of this state," approved June 17, 1891,
under which this corporation is organized, the Directors of The John
Crerar Library submit their twenty-eighth annual report for the
year 1922.
Two members of the Board have died during the year, Dr. Frank
S. Johnson on April 23rd and Dean Rollin D. Salisbury on August
1 5th. These vacancies have not yet been filled, so that it is now
composed of the following persons: Robert T. Lincoln, Marvin
Hughitt, Thomas D. Jones, John J. Mitchell, Leonard A. Busby,
Robert Forsyth, Chauncey Keep, Frederick H. Rawson, Albert A.
Sprague, Walter B. Smith and Chauncey B. Borland, together
with William Hale Thompson, Mayor of Chicago, and George F.
Harding, Comptroller of Chicago, ex-officio members.
The officers of the Library are as follows: President, Marvin
Hughitt; First Vice-President, Thomas D. Jones; Second Vice-
President, Robert Forsyth; Secretary, Walter B. Smith; Treasurer,
William J. Louderback; Librarian, Clement W. Andrews.
The recorded number of calls for books from the stacks was
162,122 for the year and the total use of books and periodicals during
that time may be estimated at 497,000. The record shows that the
use is increasing steadily and that if the Library were open evenings
it would already be larger than ever before. The Directors regret
that the deficit in operation, during the two years when very little
income could be derived from the real estate, makes it necessary,
in their opinion, to continue to keep the Library closed in the
evening until this deficit has been met.
The collections have been increased by 13,914 volumes, and now
contain approximately 466,000 volumes, 14,000 maps and plates,
and 300,000 pamphlets. The Library has on its records 4,165
titles of current periodicals and 15,142 other serials.

1922, and a statement of the assets and investments.

12 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY

the Building Fund has been increased by the amount of the surplus
for the year, $44,185.54, making a total credit of the Building
Fund of $65,621.26.

vestment during the year, less depreciation, and now stands at
$582,397.95
The income of the Huntington W. Jackson Fund has been
expended for books and that of the Henry Gradle Memorial Fund
for periodicals.
The income from the Endowment of the Collection of the
Chicago Academy of Sciences for the year 1922 is $250.00, which
remains unexpended.
The income from the Michael A. Lane Collection on Histology
and Immunology is $39.86 and gifts to this collection increased

Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM J. LOUDERBACK,
CHICAGO, January 18, 1923. Treasurer.
To the Board of Directors of THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY.
Dear Sirs: We have audited the books and accounts of THE
JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY for the year ending December 31, 1922. We ex-
amined and compared book values with market quotations of all securi-
ties which we found to have an aggregate market value of less than
the book value. We also verified the cash on hand and balance in
banks.
We accordingly certify that, in our opinion, the attached statements
truly set forth the cash receipts and disbursements, the results from
operations for the year and the assets and liabilities at the end of the
year.
Very truly yours,
THE AUDIT COMPANY OF NEW YORK,
E. C. GOODMAN, Western Manager.
CHICAGO, February 5, 1923.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY:
Gentlemen: The past year has been one of quiet usefulness calling
for no special comment except on two points. That the Library is
not open evenings is a serious loss of efficiency in its service to the
public but that it has not been possible under the reduced appro-
priation for books to make the additions which are necessary to
maintain the standard of its collections is a still more serious one.
As to the conditions of work in the new quarters nothing need be
added to what has been reported already and no important changes
in routine have been made.
Special Collections. From the income of its special fund five
titles have been added to the Huntington Jackson Collection on
Constitutional Law, which now contains 1,188 titles, of which 145
have been purchased from the fund.
The income from the fund for the Gradle Collection on the
Eye and Ear has been spent for periodicals and 36 volumes have
been added to the 502 already having the bookplate. There are
now 1,072 titles of books and some 3,000 pamphlets in the col-
lection.
The Chanute Collection on Aviation now contains 860 books,
some 635 pamphlets, and 2,500 clippings.
The Cremation Association of America has continued the
support of its collection, which now contains 184 titles of books and
261 pamphlets.
There have been added 93 volumes, 112 pamphlets, and 102
numbers of periodicals to the collection of the Chicago Academy
of Sciences.
The acceptance by the Board of the offer of Mrs. Michael A.
Lane of an endowment of a collection on histology and immunology
in memory of her husband has added to the list of special col-
lections. When the full amount is received later it will be suffi-
cient to enable the Library to make the collection a great one,
but even the amount now in hand will secure all the important
13
i 4 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
new works of the year except the periodicals and perceptibly
increase the usefulness of the Library in these subjects. The
interest on the fund for nine months and specific gifts of some
of Dr. Lane's pupils made a total of $96 available at the end
of the year. With this amount 41 volumes have been set aside
to receive the special bookplate and to form the nucleus of the
collection.
Some work has been done on the Senn and the Barnes Collec-
tions. The duplicates have been removed from the latter and the
remaining volumes have been entered in the record of accessions.
A report of the number will be made next year.
The collection of Trade Catalogues has been increased by 350
pieces, in continuance of previous gifts. It now contains 6,249
pieces from 2,483 firms.
Attendance. The total number of visitors recorded was 94,534,
a daily average of 308. The number for each month is given in
the first table of statistics.
The average is a slight decrease from that of the last seven
months of 1921. Part of this decrease may be due to a smaller
number of sightseers but probably most if not all of it is due to a
failure to record the attendance completely. The reasons for ex-
pecting such a failure were given in the last report.
In the comparison with previous years it should be remem-
bered that the Library is not now open in the evening. If the
attendance were evenly distributed this would mean a loss of
about 30 per cent., but the records of past years show that
the evening attendance was only about 17 per cent, of the
total.
Use. The calls for books were 162,122, a daily average of 525.
The maximum in previous years was 625 in 1915, and if one-sixth
be deducted from this for the evening use it will be found that
the Library already, for the time that it is open, has more than
equalled the previous maximum. Using the same factors as in the
past the total use may be estimated at 497,000 volumes and period-
icals.
A detailed classification of the call-slips for books and of the
admissions to the stacks is given in the second table of library statis-
tics. The following table gives the totals and percentages for each
department.

Totals 162,122 i,73
A comparison with the figures for previous years shows a con-
tinued proportional increase in the Medical Sciences with no marked
changes in the other departments. The six leading subjects are
the same as in 1919, chemistry having resumed its place there at
the' expense of psychology. The order, however, is by no means the
same except for medicine, which has increased its lead over all
others. The others are, in order, chemical technology, engineering,
political economy, chemistry, and trade and transportation.
The admissions to the stack have become normal in number
but the proportion of work in the Medical Sciences is again larger
than ever before, while the other departments show less significant
changes.
Of the admissions 853 were on presentation of 25 passes and
877 by registration. A new registration was begun on November 14
and by the end of the year seven permanent and three temporary
passes had been granted.
The ratio of calls for books to visitors has risen from 1.3 to 1.7,
but for the reasons just given this increase is probably more ap-
parent than real, especially as an increase in the number of calls
would naturally lessen the attention which could be given to re-
cording the attendance.
The recorded cases of assistance by telephone were 1,803 an d
by letter 135. The figures for 1921 were for seven months only;
for 1920 they were 1,028 and 183 respectively.
The total work of the cameragraph for the year was 5,655 sheets
on 470 orders with charges of $905.10. This amount is very nearly
equal to the maximum of 1919.
For loans for use outside the Library, there were granted 960
requests for 1,114 volumes from 134 libraries and 1,654 requests
from 468 individuals. The figures for 1921 were 842 volumes to
131 libraries and 847 loans to 366 individuals. Fourteen requests
1 6 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
from libraries were refused. In six cases the books loaned were
asked for while out. The loans obtained by the Library for its
readers were 26 for 31 volumes from eight libraries. Ten requests
were refused.
The average time required to fill calls was 8.45 minutes. The
improvement which was hoped for did not materialize, and an
effort will be made to remove the obstacles which prevent a more
rapid service. Still it is to be remembered that this time is not as
long as in the reference work of most large libraries.
Because of the changes in the personnel of the delivery service
the record of failures is incomplete but so far as it goes it indicates
an improvement rather than a deterioration.
The use of the Class Room has been continued by most of the
societies reported last year and the privilege has been granted to
four more organizations and for two special occasions.
Publications. In September the Library issued its Twenty-
seventh Annual Report, a pamphlet of 38 pages. Besides the usual
matter, it contained the record of the dedication ceremonies. Be-
cause of the cost of printing, the List of Donors was again omitted.
An edition of 5,000 copies was printed and nearly all distributed. In
June the Library reprinted the Will of John Crerar in an edition
of 500 copies: as the original edition had been distributed quite
generally, these copies are kept to meet requests. A new edition
of the Handbook should be prepared as soon as possible.
The numbers of the various publications remaining in stock
are given in the following table, which shows their distribution
during the year.

Printed Cards. The distribution of one copy of each catalogue
card to the Chicago Public Library, Field Museum of Natural
History, Library of Congress, Northwestern University, University
of Chicago, and the University of Illinois, has been continued;
also the sending of one copy of each card printed by the Library to
Harvard University, New York State Library, Princeton University,
Royal Library at The Hague, St. Louis Public Library, University
of California, University of Iowa, University of Michigan, and Yale
University. The Armour Institute of Technology, at its request,
has been omitted from the first list, and the University of Minnesota
added to the second. Besides eight special orders of limited scope,
two standing orders have been received, and one cancelled. The
distribution amounted to 156,323 cards, of which 58,654 were sent
to the depository libraries, 844 sent as gifts, and 96,827 sold or
sent in exchange.
The present state of the Union Catalogue is shown in the
following table:

Much work has been done during the year on the filing of the
foreign cards, and it is estimated that of the above number 1,076,000
are now in the trays.
Selection and Ordering. During the year 5,573 orders were
given. Of these 330 failed or were cancelled, leaving 5,243 valid
orders covering 7,735 volumes at an estimated cost of $15,683;
4,660 orders were filled, covering with the standing orders for con-
tinuations 9,044 volumes at a cost of $14,346. There are left out-
standing, in addition to the orders for continuations, 4,150 or-
ders for 5,744 volumes at an estimated cost of $6,980; of these
orders, 2,497 were given before January i, 1922.
The work of selection has been greatly hampered by the small-
ness of the appropriation and by the existing economic conditions
in the book trade. It has become almost impossible to determine
i8 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
the price at which books from the continent of Europe can be
obtained, especially from Germany and France.
The stock of selections of recent years, unobtainable during
the War, is being subjected to a revision which eliminates about
nine- tenths, many of them being works which ought to be in the
Library, and almost all of them desirable. Because of this the
selection of new books, except English and American, is not up to
date. The ordering, however, has more than kept pace with the
selection and has exceeded the appropriation even after making
due allowance for a large number of orders of 1914 to 1918 which
will never be filled and which will be cancelled.
The increase in the price of books has seemed more noticeable
this year than ever before. It is not shown clearly in the statistics
because the average is brought down by some purchases of new
and second-hand books from Germany and Austria at nominal
prices . For new English and American books the increase from 1914
is at least one-half so that an appropriation of $10,000, of which
$5,000 must be reserved for continuations, will purchase only about
1,700 such works, whereas the appropriation of $20,000 in 1914,
with the same reservation, would have purchased 7,500. It is evi-
dent that unless the latter appropriation was greatly in excess of
the needs of the Library, which it certainly was not, the former is
far below those needs.
Accessions. The total accessions of volumes for 1922 have
been 14,211, of which 5,167 have been received as gifts and 9,046
obtained by purchase. Volumes made by binding serials are in-
cluded in these figures. There have been withdrawn 297 volumes,
leaving the net accessions for the year 13,914, which with the
438,421 reported for 1921 make the total now on the books 452,335.
There remain to be entered only the Laufer purchase, about 14,000
volumes. This has its own catalogue, and particular books can be
obtained when asked for, so that the total number of volumes now
available is about 466,000.
The number of maps and plates added during 1922 was 238,
and one was withdrawn, making the total number now on the
record 14,067.
There have been received 14,715 pamphlets as gifts; author
slips for 2,701 titles were filed in the official catalogue; the clas-
sified collection was increased by 6,444 pamphlets; and the col-
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 19
lection of trade catalogues by 350. The number added to the clas-
sified collection includes the number of titles filed but both these
numbers have no necessary connection with the number reported
as received. Many of the pamphlets received are duplicates, and
many more are continuations, or for various reasons are put else-
where than in the pamphlet collection. Their classification is shown
in the second table of library statistics. To the classified collection
of 146,858 should be added those still unclassified, about 147,000,
and the trade catalogues, 6,240, making a total of approximately
300,000.
The following table shows the distribution of the net accessions
for 1922 and the totals entered, by departments, together with the
percentages of the classified volumes :

t Deduction.
The additions are somewhat differently distributed in com-
parison with those of 1921. The Social Sciences show a decided
increase which in part reflects the increased interest in these sub-
jects due to present conditions and in part is a return to the normal
rate. The percentages of the totals in the different departments
remain the same as in the last two years.
The assistants in charge of periodicals report on the two lists,
general and medical, 4,193 copies of 4,165 titles, 154 less than in
1921. Of these 963 were received as gifts, and the estimated cost
of the 3,212 subscriptions is $7,691.
Some consignments of back numbers of German periodicals
were received, so that 3,040 volumes were bound. The work of
keeping the files complete by requests, claims, and acknowledg-
ments was nearly as heavy as in 1921, amounting to 1,906 pieces
of correspondence for the general list and 90 for the medical.
The assistant in charge of the Continuation Record reports 634
titles added to the list and 546 withdrawn, leaving 15,142 at the
20 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
end of the year. About 6,0x57 are obtained by subscription at a
cost, in 1922, of $5,211. These furnished 949 volumes entered on
the record of accessions. The other continuations were received as
gifts or in exchange, and furnished 1,497 volumes. For the gifts
1,225 nrst an d 300 second requests were sent and three reported to
the Librarian for personal letters. For the purchases 235 notifica-
tions were sent, and seven reported.
No orders for expensive works or for long sets have been given
but two such orders given previously have been filled. One is the
Journal des savants, Paris, 1877-1901, in 25 volumes, and the other
the Oekonomische Encydopddie oder Allgemeines System der Staats-
Stadt- Haus- und Landwirtschaft, 1773-1858, by J. G. Kriinitz, 242
volumes.
A detailed statement of the treatment being given the 120,000
pamphlets on the Natural Sciences was made in the last report.
There is very little to add to that statement except that one-half
of the cases have been examined. These contained 52,698 pieces,
divided as follows: volumes, 1,470; pamphlets, 2,279; continu-
ations, 5,580; dissertations, 6,372; excerpts, 21,808; reprints, 16,018.
So many of the pamphlets have been considered important enough
to warrant binding that already 1,547 volumes have been entered
on the records. They are divided as follows: General Works, 45;
Social Sciences, 19; Physical Sciences, 113; Natural Sciences,
1,138; Medical Sciences, 58; Applied Sciences, 174.
Because of these transfers, a certain amount of duplication,
and a probable deficiency in the total number, no increase has
been made in the total number of pamphlets reported as in the
Library notwithstanding the normal additions of the year. The
duplicates within the collection itself continue to be negligible and
the duplication of the volumes and pamphlets with material already
in the Library is no greater than would have been expected.
There were received as gifts 5,678 volumes and 14,715 pamphlets
from 3,692 donors. The volumes entered in the record of accessions
were 5,167. The figures for 1921 were 8,472 volumes, ' 15,105
pamphlets, and 3,507 donors.
The largest gifts were from Mr. Fred B. Mason, 409 volumes,
general in character; the Western Society of Engineers, 296 volumes;
Dr. Ernest McEwen, 198 volumes of medical works; the Chicago
Municipal Reference Library, 103 volumes; Mr. Charles M. Matter,
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 21
99 volumes. Valuable gifts have been received also from Drs.
Leroy Crummer, Sidney Kuh, and Hugh Patrick.
Duplicates. The sales of the year amounted to 444 volumes,
63 numbers and a bulk sale of 3,215 pounds for $485.50. On
priced exchange 15 volumes and 29 numbers have been received,
valued at $79.29. On piece for piece exchange 23 bound volumes,
5 unbound, 64 pamphlets, 196 numbers, and 119 railroad reports
have been received. Ninety-five bound volumes, 9 unbound, and
414 pamphlets were sent.
Inventory. The ninth inventory has been completed. It shows
osses from the stack of 963 volumes and the finding of 41 volumes
reported lost in previous inventories, making a net loss of 922.
As this loss covers a period of three years in which 450,000 volumes
were moved three times, and left unusually exposed to theft during
a part of the time, the result must be considered quite satisfactory.
The total loss from reading rooms and stacks in 27 years has
been 1,667 or one i n 2I 4-
From the General Reading Room 18 volumes are missing and
15 from the Senn Room; 10 mutilations were detected in medical
books and 31 in others; of periodicals 62 were missed, of which 61
were replaced; 25 mutilations were detected, of which 24 were re-
placed.
Binding. On January i, 1922, there were at the bindery 2,030
volumes, and 9,395 were sent during the year; 15 were returned as
incomplete, and 9,001 bound; leaving 2,422 at the bindery Decem-
ber 31, 1922. The cost of binding was $13,835, an average of $1.56
per volume. This is a decrease of nine per cent, from 1921.
Catalogues. The Cataloguer reports that during the year
4,033 new titles have been prepared for print; 222 new titles type-
written; 57 titles prepared for print to replace old typewritten titles
and 46 to replace Library of Congress titles; 3,528 titles received
from the Library of Congress have been classified for the catalogues ;
34 such titles used to replace old J. C. L. titles; 471 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 11,547, which is about 95 per cent, of the average number,
notwithstanding many calls upon them for assistance in other lines,
due to absences and vacancies. The titles reprinted in correction
of errors were 41 and for other alterations 783. Cards for 4,232
22 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
new titles and 794 reprinted titles were received from the printer;
electrotypes for 171 new titles and 4 reprinted titles from the elec-
trotypers. The total number of separate titles prepared for print
to date is 139,309; of sets of cards received 138,359; of electro-
types, 65,399.
The photographic process alluded to in the last report, known
as the Manul process, was investigated and some experiments made
with it. The results showed that it would be a comparatively
cheap way of reprinting a fairly large edition of a bulletin but that
it could not be used economically for a few copies of cards. An-
other process, which is said to be even more economical and to
be workable with a small press, is to be put on the market in 1923
and when this is done the question will be taken up again.
The printing office at Oquawka has not only printed 165,000
catalogue cards and call numbers on 111,000 Library of Congress
cards, but also 110,000 call-slips and about the same number of
other forms.
The number of orders sent to the Library of Congress on tripli-
cate order sheets was 5,556 and reports were received on all. There
were cards for 2,970 titles on hand January i, 1922; 3,890 were
received during the year; cards for 3,684 were used in the public
catalogues; and for 741 withdrawn from the file; leaving those for
2,435 on hand December 3ist. Of those withdrawn 20 titles were
returned to the Library of Congress and 721 were cancelled. Of the
3,890 titles received, 451 were analytical titles from 370 serial pub-
lications. Of the 2,435 titles on hand 934 are for book orders be-
fore 1922, 867 for those of 1922, 469 for regular standing orders,
and 165 for a special analytical order. One standing order was
completed and ten new standing orders given.
There have been added 21,124 cards to the classed catalogue,
which now contains some 234,000 titles on 630,192 cards, an aver-
age of 2.69 cards per title; 15,870 cards have been filed in the author
catalogue, which now contains the same 234,000 titles on 419,089
cards, an average of 1.79 cards per title; 713 guides and 6,095 cards
have been added to the subject index, which now contains 32,007
guides and 223,565 titles on 102,708 cards, an average of 0.46 card
per title.
The distribution of the cards in the classed catalogue, by de-
partments, is shown in the following table:

Total 21,124 630,192
Of the 234,000 titles in the public catalogues about 136,200
are on cards printed by the Library, about 83,600 on Library of
Congress cards, about 12,200 on A. L. A. co-operative cards, 321
on other printed cards, and about 1,700 are typewritten. The total
number of cards and guides is about 1,184,000.
To the combined index of federal and state publications there
have been added 14,260 cards; the total is now 214,500.
The Cataloguer further reports that the work on the Ehrenburg
purchase has been completed and some work done on the Gerritsen
purchase and the Senn Collection. Much has been done on the
collections of pamphlets on Political Economy and Political
Science. Forty- three such collections, containing 1,956 pamphlets,
in 136 volumes, have been entered in the record of accessions; 54
collections in 104 volumes are ready to be entered, and 9 are in
preparation. In addition 109 collections have received preliminary
treatment and a beginning has been made on the pamphlets dealing
with economic phases of the War.
The arrears of work have been diminished appreciably. Omitting
the Orientalia, on which work has been continued by Dr. Laufer,
there were, in 1921, 456 shelves, of which 22 were pamphlets; there
are now 421, of which 23 are pamphlets.
Meetings. The Library was represented officially by the Li-
brarian, and unofficially by five other members of the staff, at the

During the year the Library has received 5,678 volumes and
14,715 pamphlets from 3,692 donors. The Directors regret their
inability to print the usual list of donors on account of the expense
involved. To the individual acknowledgments of these gifts which
have been made they add this general expression of their gratitude.

Frank Seward Johnson was born in Chicago in 1856, the son of Dr.
Hosmer Allen and Margaret Seward Johnson. Graduated from North-
western University in 1878, he received the degree of M. D. from Chi-
cago Medical College in 1881. After several years of study abroad he
returned to Chicago and began practice here. While making a specialty
of the diseases of the heart and lungs his professional interests were wide
and he was an important factor in the development of medical educa-
tion and of hospital work in Chicago.
His interest in humanity, however, was not confined to the physical
side for he was an interested student of the philosophy of life. His
papers before the Chicago Literary Club, of which he was a member for
many years, were the results of these studies.
To those who had the good fortune to share his friendship it was evi-
dent that this interest was not impersonal, or that of a student only, but
came from a real love of humanity.
His personal life was the natural result of this. Married in 1890 to
Elizabeth Burbank Ayer, the father of two sons, eminent in his profes-
sion, interested in the life of the community and in the individual lives
of his many friends and acquaintances: in all these relations he himself
was happy and gave happiness and good service in return.
Dr. Johnson was the first elected member of the Board of Directors
of The John Crerar Library, having been chosen in 1896 to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Edward G. Mason. He was
appointed at once a member of the Committee on Books and upon the
resignation of Dr. Simon J. McPherson in 1899 became the second chair-
man, which position he held until his removal from Chicago in 1916.
The Board feel that they have every reason to congratulate them-
selves on the wisdom of this selection. To his duties he brought a knowl-
edge of books and of scientific matters much wider than the scope of
his professional interests and to him is due largely the broad develop-
ment of the Library in many directions. Naturally he was greatly in-

terested in the acquisition of the Department of Medical Sciences from
the Newberry Library in 1905 and he assisted materially in its growth,
giving to it even before his death all his medical library. Not so much to
be expected, however, is the fact that to his initiative is chiefly due the
purchase of the very important Gerritsen Collection on banking, finance
and labor and that of the smaller but distinctive Ely Collection on
American social problems.
In addition to their gratitude for these services, the Directors desire
to place on record their appreciation of his geniality and unfailing cour-
tesy which make his loss not only that of a valued co-worker but that of
a most congenial associate and friend.
Resolved That this memorial be spread upon the minutes of The
John Crerar Library and be printed in the next Annual Report with a
portrait and that an engrossed copy be sent to Mrs. Johnson.

Resolved that the Board of Directors of The John Crerar Library
place on record their sense of loss to the Library by the death of Dean
Rollin D. Salisbury on August 15, 1922, and their appreciation of his
services to the Library.
Born at Spring Prairie, Wisconsin, in 1858, and educated at Beloit
College and at Heidelberg, Dean Salisbury was already an eminent
geologist, teacher and writer when he came to the University of Chicago
in 1894. There his interests broadened and he became Dean of the
Ogden School of Science in 1899.
His intimate knowledge of modern science, his exceptional familiarity
with scientific literature, his contact with students of varying degrees
of advancement and his sympathy with them, made his selection as 'a
Director of The John Crerar Library a most happy one.
He was elected October 16, 1919, to fill the vacancy on the Board
caused by the resignation of the Honorable Peter Stenger Grosscup,. and
served until his death as chairman of the Committee on Books. To the
duties of this position he gave close attention and it was by his advice
that the Library made a notable addition to its resources in the field of
the Natural Sciences.
He was a regular and interested attendant at the meetings of the Board
at which the problems of the building were discussed and the Directors
feel keen regret that they are not to have the benefit of his counsel on
the problems of the development of the Library which are before them.
Resolved, further, that these resolutions be spread on the minutes of
The John Crerar Library and printed in the next Annual Report, and that
an engrossed copy be sent to the family.

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 of this state," approved June 17, 1891,
under which this corporation is organized, the Directors of The
John Crerar Library submit their twenty-ninth annual report for
the year 1923.
The vacancies in. the Board created by the deaths of Dr. Frank
S. Johnson and Dean Rollin D. Salisbury in 1922 have been filled
by the election, on January 18, 1923, of Dr. Ludvig Hektoen and
Dean Henry Gordon Gale. These elections have been duly approved
by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Illinois. The Board is
now composed of the following persons : Robert T. Lincoln, Marvin
Hughitt, Thomas D. Jones, John J. Mitchell, Leonard A. Busby,
Robert Forsyth, Chauncey Keep, Frederick H. Rawson, Albert A.
Sprague, Walter B. Smith, Chauncey B. Borland, Ludvig Hektoen,
and Henry Gordon Gale, together with William E. Dever, Mayor
of Chicago, and Martin J. O'Brien, Comptroller of Chicago, ex-
officio members.
The officers of the Library are as follows: President, Marvin
Hughitt; First Vice-President, Thomas D. Jones; Second Vice-
President, Robert Forsyth; Secretary, Walter B. Smith; Treasurer,
William J. Louderback; Librarian, Clement W. Andrews.
The recorded number of calls for books from the stacks was
153,055 for the year and the total use of books and periodicals
during that time may be estimated at 470,000. The Directors re-
gret that the deficit in operation, during the two years when very
little income could be derived from the real estate, makes it neces-
sary, in their opinion, to continue to keep the Library closed in
the evening until this deficit has been met.
The collections have been increased by 11,730 volumes, and
now contain approximately 478,000 volumes, 14,000 maps and
plates, and 300,000 pamphlets. The Library has on its records
4,181 titles of current periodicals and 15,633 other serials.

Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM J. LOUDERBACK,

To the Board of Directors,
The John Crerar Library,
Chicago, Illinois.
Dear Sirs:
We have audited the books and accounts of THE JOHN CRERAR
LIBRARY for the year ending December 31, 1923. We examined and
compared book values with market quotations of all securities, which we
found to have an aggregate market value of less than the book value.
We also verified the cash on hand and balances in banks.
We accordingly certify that, in our opinion, the attached statements
truly set forth the cash receipts and disbursements, the results from
operations for the year and the assets and liabilities at the end of the
year.
Very truly yours,
THE AUDIT COMPANY OF NEW YORK,
CHICAGO, February 21, 1924. E. C. GOODMAN, Western Manager.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY:
Gentlemen: The amount of routine work done during 1923 has
been considerably less than usual. So far as the inside work is
concerned this has been due chiefly to the losses in the staff of
which details are given at the end of this report. The compara-
tively small diminution in the use made of the Library by the public
is a phenomenon noted by many libraries in very different parts of
the country and so would appear to be due to some general condi-
tion not yet identified, though in our case the closing of the Library
in the evening is a contributing factor.
Building. With the approval of the Committee on Buildings
and Grounds the assistants in charge of printed cards were moved
in the fall to the room on the eleventh floor previously used as the
staff lunch room and their former room on the ninth floor fitted
up as a lunch room. It has also been used as a gymnasium by the
women of the staff after six o'clock. The change appears to be
acceptable to all concerned, but especially so to those who have
secured the better light and more equable temperature of the east
front. Experience has shown that proximity to the freight elevator
and book lifts is not so important as was supposed when the former
location was adopted.
Special Collections. From the income of its special fund four
titles have been added to the Huntington W. Jackson Collection on
Constitutional Law, which now contains 1,221 titles, of which 149
have been purchased from the fund.
The income from the fund for the Gradle Collection on the
Eye and Ear has been spent for periodicals and 37 volumes have
been added to the 537 already having the bookplate. There are now
1,122 titles of books and some 3,250 pamphlets in the collection.
The Chanute Collection on Aviation now contains 875 books,
some 635 pamphlets, and 2,500 clippings.
The Cremation Association of America has continued the sup-
port of its collection, which now contains 188 titles of books and
286 pamphlets. Dr. Hugo Erichsen of Detroit, former President
13
i 4 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
of the Association, has enhanced the usefulness of the collection
by preparing an index to the bound volumes of brief articles.
There have been added 75 volumes, 58 pamphlets, and 220
number of periodicals to the collection of the Chicago Academy
of Sciences.
From the income of its special fund 10 titles have been added
to the Michael A. Lane Collection on Histology and Immunology,
which now contains 51 volumes.
Work on the David L. Barnes Library has been completed. It
contained, out of 1,791 volumes, 290 pamphlets, and 1,021 num-
bers of periodicals, only 214 volumes and 160 pamphlets which
were not already in the Library. These have been entered in the
record of accessions. A considerable number of the duplicates have
already been disposed of and it is expected that more will be soon.
The collection of Trade Catalogues has been increased by 284
pieces, in continuance of previous gifts. It now contains 6,533
pieces from 2,503 firms.
Attendance. The total number of visitors recorded was 76,535,
a daily average of 248 and a decrease of 20 per cent from the record
of 1922. As the number of calls has fallen off less than 6 per cent.,
it seems evident that there is an increasing failure on the part of
the desk attendants to make the record. As the calls are the real
measure of the usefulness of the Library it does not seem worth
while to disturb the attendants in their regular duties in serving
the public in order to make this record more complete. Perhaps an
hourly count of readers in the different reading rooms would be a
more accurate measure.
Use. The calls for books were 153,055, a daily average of
497. The record by months is given in the first table of library
statistics. The largest number in any one day was 1,243 on
March 3rd; the smallest 248 on September 3rd. These figures show
a decrease of a little over five per cent from those of 1922, which
were 162,122 total and 525 daily average. Using the same factors
as in the past the total use may be estimated at 470,000 volumes
and periodicals.
A detailed classification of the call slips for books and of the
admissions to the stacks is given in the second table of library statis-
tics. The following table gives the totals and percentages for each
department.

Totals 153,055 1,841
A comparison with the figures of 1922 shows that no significant
changes have occurred, though there has been a slight gain in the
Social Sciences at the expense of the Applied Sciences. The six
leading subjects remain the same, medicine, chemical technology,
political economy, engineering, trade and transportation, and chem-
istry. Last year the order of the last four was engineering, political
economy, chemistry, trade and transportation.
The number of admissions to the stacks have increased notably,
from 1,730 to 1,841, but all of this increase has been in medicine.
Of the admissions 1,077 were on presentation of 33 passes and 764
by registration. Ten permanent and 13 temporary passes have
been granted. One permanent pass has been cancelled by death,
leaving sixteen now in force.
The recorded cases of assistance by telephone were 1,578 and
by letter 214. The figures for 1921 were 1,803 and 135 respectively.
The increase in correspondence is due to the effect of two compli-
mentary articles on the Library which appeared in business maga-
zines.
The total work of the cameragraph for the year was 6,074 sheets
on 459 orders with charges of $982.30. This amount is very nearly
equal to the maximum of 1919.
For loans for use outside the Library, there were granted 999
requests for 1,128 volumes from 162 libraries and 1,531 requests
from 548 individuals for 1,705 volumes. The figures for 1922 were
1,114 volumes to 134 libraries and 1,654 loans to 468 individuals.
Twelve requests from libraries were refused. In two cases the
books loaned were asked for while out. The loans obtained by the
Libary for its readers were 46 for 64 volumes from seven libraries.
Three requests were refused.
The average time required to fill calls was 7.97 minutes, while
in 1922 it was 8.45. This improvement in the service is most
pleasing. It may not be apparent on a casual view of the subject
1 6 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
that a saving of a half a minute on each of 153,000 calls means a
total saving to the readers of 150 working days.
Besides 115,436 calls for books for use in the general reading
room which were filled, there were 1,098 which were not. Of these
184 were in use by other readers, 71 were at the bindery, and. 3 20
were reported as missing, leaving 543 which should have been
found. This number is less than five in a thousand of the total,
and the percentage is only slightly greater than in 1917 and 1918.
The use of the Class Room has been continued by most of the
societies reported last year and the privilege has been granted to
four more organizations and for five special occasions.
Publications. In June the Library issued its Twenty-eighth
Annual Report, a pamphlet of 32 pages. It contained in addition
to the usual matter portraits of Dr. Frank S. Johnson and Dean
Rollin D. Salisbury and the memorial resolutions adopted by the
Board. Because of the cost of printing, the List of Donors was
again omitted. An edition of 5,000 copies was printed and nearly
all distributed.
The Library has received from the Institute of Medicine of
Chicago an offer of $500 to meet the expense of a new edition of
the List of Current Medical Periodicals. It would seem desirable
to combine this with the general list and issue a new edition of the
List of Current Periodicals in the same form as the first edition of
1902, giving the titles in three arrangements, alphabetical, classed,
and by language.
The numbers of the various publications remaining in stock are
given in the following table, which shows their distribution during

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 17
Printed Cards. TKe distribution of one copy of each catalogue
card to the Chicago Public Library, Field Museum of Natural
History, Library of Congress, Northwestern University, University
of Chicago, and the University of Illinois, has been continued;
also the sending of one copy of each card printed by the Library to
Harvard University, New York State Library, Princeton University,
Royal Library at The Hague, St. Louis Public Library, University
of California, University of Iowa, University of Michigan, Univer-
sity of Minnesota, and Yale University. Besides seven special orders
of limited scope, two standing orders have been received, and two
cancelled. The distribution amounted to 138,691 cards, of which
49,590 were sent to the depository libraries, 772 sent as gifts, and
88,329 sold or sent in exchange.
The present state of the Union Catalogue is shown in the
following table:

Much work has been done during the year on the filing of the
foreign cards, and it is estimated that of the above number only
90,000 remain to be filed.
Selection and Ordering. During the year 5,103 orders were
given. Of these 400 failed or were cancelled, leaving 4,703 valid
orders covering, 6,008 volumes at an estimated cost of $13,960;
3,358 orders were filled, covering with the standing orders for con-
tinuations, 8,051 volumes at a cost of $17,434. There are left out-
standing, in addition to the orders for continuations, 2,120 or-
ders for 3,441 volumes at an estimated cost of $4,867; of these
orders, 775 were given before January i, 1923.
The selection of American and English books is well up to date,
and the ordering of them, supplemented by the increased number
received on inspection, is not badly in arrears. The same cannot be
said of foreign orders, especially German. The collapse in the value
of the mark led the German book trade to adopt various methods of
meeting the situation and unfortunately some publishers chose to
make special and apparently unjustifiable charges for books pur-
i8 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
chased for America. The result has been great uncertainty as to the
cost of German books. Some have been supplied at prices lower
than could be reasonably expected and others have been charged at
inordinately high prices. An example of the latter will suffice.
Two parts in continuation of a standing order were supplied with
a bill of $29. The pre-war price would have been about $3.00. They
were refused and returned and later the Library secured them from
another dealer for about $7.
The German second-hand trade, on the contrary, is on a sound
basis and advantage has been taken of the fair offers of a number of
dealers. A large order has also been given in Italy for a number of
desirable sets at prices which, though high in themselves, the low
exchange rate of the lira will make reasonable.
The effect of the revision of the old orders and the cancellation
of most of them is shown in the above figures. In the first place, the
work took so much time that the number of new orders given was
the smallest for many years. On the other hand, it was well worth
doing, for the old orders were overloading the files and were holding
back new orders because their estimated cost had to be set aside
from the appropriation, although most of them would never be
rilled. Last year outstanding orders more than two years old
amounted to $3,545; they are now $716. The total amount of out-
standing orders was then $6,980; it is now $4,867. In this con-
nection it may be of interest to compare the proportion of failures
to successful orders in 1913 and 1919, the latter being probably the
worst year of all. Including all orders the failures in the first i ,000 of
1919 were exactly double those of 1913, but if second-hand and
American orders are excluded, as they should be, they were nearly
four times as many.
Accessions. The total accessions of volumes for 1923 have
been 11,856, of which 3,805 have been received as gifts and 8,051
obtained by purchase. Volumes made by binding serials are in-
cluded in these figures. There have been withdrawn 126 volumes,
leaving the net accessions for the year 11,730, which with the
452,335 reported for 1922 make the total now on the books 464,065.
There remain to be entered only the Laufer purchase, about 14,000
volumes. This has its own catalogue, and particular books can be
obtained when asked for, so that the total number of volumes now
available is about 478,000.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 19
The number of maps and plates added during 1923 was 328,
making the total number now on the record 14,395.
There have been received 16,102 pamphlets as gifts; author
slips for 3,387 titles were filed in the official catalogue; the clas-
sified collection was increased by 5,119 pamphlets; and the col-
lection of trade catalogues by 284. The number added to the clas-
sified collection includes the number of titles filed but both these
numbers have no necessary connection with the number reported
as received. Many of the pamphlets received are duplicates, and
many more are continuations, or for various reasons are put else-
where than in the pamphlet collection. Their classification is shown
in the second table of library statistics. To the classified collection
of 151,977 should be added those still unclassified, about 142,000,
and the trade catalogues, 6,533, making a total of approximately
300,000.
The following table shows the distribution of the net accessions
for 1923 and the totals entered, by departments, together with the

The increases in the different departments have been so nearly
normal in proportion as to give a symmetrical development of the
collections, the percentages of the totals remaining the same as for
the last three years.
The assistants in charge of periodicals report on the two lists,
general and medical, 4,197 copies of 4,181 titles; 16 more than in
1922. Of these 1,025 were received as gifts, and the estimated cost
of the 3,156 subscriptions is $9,519. The receipt of a number of gaps
in the war years and the very general increase in price, especially of
German periodicals, made a heavy overdraft on the appropriation,
the first that has occurred. Unless the number of subscriptions is
20 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
reduced it will be necessary to make at least the same appropriation
as before the War.
The assistant in charge of the Continuation Record reports 670
titles added to the list and 179 withdrawn, leaving 15,633 at the
end of the year. About 6,167 are obtained by subscription at a
cost, in 1923, of $4,998. These furnished 985 volumes entered on
the record of accessions. The other continuations were received as
gifts or in exchange, and furnished 1,227 volumes. For the gifts
1,278 first and four second requests were sent and six reported to
the Librarian for personal letters. For the purchases 531 first noti-
fications were sent, 65 second, and 60 reported.
The increase in the appropriation for books has made it possible
for the Library to resume its policy of strengthening the collection
of sets of periodicals. Among those purchased during the year are
the following:
Annales de la Societe botanique de Lyon, Archil) jur wissen-
schaftliche und practische Thierheilkunde, Boletin del Sociedad
geographica de Madrid, Bottgers Polytechnisches Notizblatt, Hotel
Monthly, Kunststqffe, Magazin der Pharmacie, Messager des sciences
et des arts, Percheron stud book of America, St. Peter sburger medi-
zinische Zeitschrift.
One individual purchase, Phillips' Natural History of the Ducks,
is notable.
There were received as gifts 4,715 volumes and 16,102 pamphlets
from 3,067 donors. The volumes entered in the record of accessions
were 3,805. The figures for 1922 were 5,678 volumes, 14,715
pamphlets, 3,067 donors, and 5,167 entries.
The largest gifts were from Dr. Julius Grinker, 94 volumes and
566 pamphlets; Dr. R. Bettman, 182 volumes and 21 pamphlets;
Mr. C. S. Bacon, 130 volumes and 21 pamphlets; The Abbott
Laboratories, 130 volumes and 38 pamphlets; Mr. F. W. Schacht, 63
volumes and 56 pamphlets; and from outside Chicago from Walter
Del Mar, Esq., of London, 116 volumes containing several hun-
dred pamphlets on trade and transportation; and the Riksdags
Biblioteket of Stockholm, 53 volumes.
Dr. Le Roy Crummer of Omaha has supplemented his previous
gift of photographic reproductions of medical broadsides and fugi-
tive sheets of anatomical plates. Most of the originals collected by
Dr. Crummer are unique.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 21
Duplicates. The sales of the year amounted to 1,241 bound
volumes and about 2,000 unbound volumes and pamphlets for
$1,052.53. On piece for piece exchange, 4 bound volumes, one
unbound volume, 65 pamphlets and 84 numbers have been received;
five bound volumes and five numbers were sent.
Inventory. No new inventory has been begun but much time
has been given to an endeavor to find the volumes reported missing
in the ninth. This was so far successful that 247 volumes out of 963
have been found. Unfortunately, the losses, 38, from the several
Reading Rooms were unusually numerous, though those from the
Senn Room, 10, were rather fewer than usual. The net result there-
fore was a gain of 199, and a net loss from Reading Rooms and
stacks in 28 years of 1,468 or one in 316. Twenty-five cases of
mutilation were discovered.
Of general periodicals 85 numbers were missed, of which 74 were
replaced; 13 found to be mutilated, of which n were replaced,
together with four previously reported. Of medical periodicals
eight were missed and eleven found to be mutilated, all of which
have been replaced.
Binding. On January i, 1923, there were at the bindery 2,422
volumes, and 7,443 were sent during the year; n were returned
as incomplete, two were lost in the bindery, two returned as un-
bindable, and 8,837 bound; leaving 1,013 at the bindery Decem-
ber 31, 1923. The cost of binding was $13,768, an average of
$1.59 per volume. This is an increase of three cents per volume
over 1922.
Catalogues. The Acting Cataloguer reports that during the year
3,718 new titles have been prepared for print ; 304 new titles typewrit-
ten ; 1 5 titles prepared for print to replace old typewritten titles and 7
to replace Library of Congress titles; 3,392 titles received from the
Library of Congress have been classified for the catalogues; 74 such
titles used to replace old J. C. L. titles; 126 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 8,975, which is about 75 per cent, of the average number.
The titles reprinted in correction of errors were 39 and for other
alterations 635. Cards for 3,873 new titles and 744 reprinted titles
were received from the printer; electrotypes for 115 new titles and 6
reprinted titles from the electrotypers. The total number of separate
22 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
titles prepared for print to date is 143,027, of sets of cards received
142,232; of electrotypes, 65,514.
The printing office at Oquawka has not only printed 150,000
catalogue cards and call numbers on 100,000 Library of Congress
cards, but also 133,000 call-slips and about 70,000 other forms.
The number of orders sent to the Library of Congress on tripli-
cate order sheets was 5,120 and reports were received on 4,731.
There were cards for 2,435 titles on hand January i, 1923; 3,537
were received during the year; cards for 3,659 were used in the public
catalogues; and for 467 withdrawn from the file; leaving those for
1,846 on hand December 3ist. Of those withdrawn 27 titles were
returned to the Library of Congress and 440 were cancelled. Of the
3,537 titles received, 496 were analytical titles from 374 serial pub-
lications. Of the 1,846 titles on hand 820 are for book orders be-
fore 1923, 518 for those of 1923, 410 for regular standing orders,
and 98 for a special analytical order. Three standing orders were
completed and seven new standing orders given.
There have been added 26,234 cards to the classed catalogue,
which now contains some 241,500 titles on 656,426 cards, an aver-
age of 2.72 cards per title; 17,927 cards have been filed in the author
catalogue, which now contains the same 241,500 titles on 437,016
cards, an average of 1.8 cards per title; 727 guides and 6,891 cards
have been added to the subject index, which now contains 32,734
guides and 231,563 titles on 109,599 cards, an average of 0.47 card
per title.
The distribution of the cards in the classed catalogue, by de-
partments, is shown in the following table :

Congress cards, about 12,200 on A. L. A. co-operative cards, 321
on other printed cards, and about 2,000 are typewritten. The total
number of cards and guides is about 1,236,000.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 23
To the combined index of federal and state publications there
have been added 8,021 cards; the total is now 222,521.
Before Mr. Josephson left the service of the Library, in June, he
did a great deal of work on the collections of pamphlets mentioned
in the report for the previous year. Two collections, containing 156
pamphlets in 1 1 volumes, have been entered in the record of acces-
sions; sixty-eight collections in 128 volumes are ready to be entered;
eighty-three collections have had preliminary treatment.
The arrears of work have again been diminished appreciably.
Omitting the Orientalia, on which work has been continued by Dr.
Laufer, there were, in 1922, 421 shelves, of which 23 were pamphlets;
there are now 387, of which 14 are pamphlets.
Meetings. The Library was represented officially by the
Librarian, and unofficially by two other members of the staff, at
the annual meetings of the American Library Association and the
National Association of State Libraries at Hot Springs, Arkansas,
April 23rd to 28th; officially by the Librarian at meetings of the
Council of the American Library Association, Chicago, January ist
and 2nd, 1921 ; and unofficially at meetings of the National Research
Council, Washington, March 3ist; the American Library Institute,
Lake Placid, September loth and nth, and University Librarians,
Chicago, December 3ist and January ist, 1924; officially by the As-
sistant Librarian and unofficially by one other member of the staff,
at the annual meeting of the Illinois Library Association at Peoria,
September 26th to 28th.
Staff. The year has been marked by a most unusual number of
losses in personnel by resignation and of losses in time by the illness
and death of near relatives.
The following resignations have been received: Mr. A. G. S.
Josephson, Cataloguer; Miss Gene vie ve Darlington, Miss Elsa
Neiglick and Mrs. Mary A. Stapp, senior assistants; Miss Ruth L.
Drury, Mrs. Clara L. Holt, Miss Margaret J. Ward, Miss Cornelia
C. White and Miss Dorothy Wilcox, junior assistants.
Mr. Josephson entered the service of the Library in 1896 as its
first cataloguer and the gratitude of the Library and of its readers
is due him not only for the careful attention he gave to the details
of his work but also for his initiative in determining principles and
in planning improvements, and especially for his scholarly care of
the publications of the Library. The Board have recognized his
24 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
services by a vote of appreciation and thanks and it seems fitting
that their action should be made known to all interested in the
Library.
Two of the senior assistants who have resigned and one of the
juniors have been with the Library for long periods; Miss Darlington
since 1903, Miss Neiglick since 1906, and Miss White since 1905.
All have given conscientious and unusually efficient service and it
will be readily understood that the loss of three such experienced
and skillful workers in one year has been a serious handicap.
The following appointments have been made: Miss Gertrude
Forstall as Acting Cataloguer; Mr. James B. Childs as Assistant
Cataloguer; Mr. Frank D. Slocum as Assistant Reference Li-
brarian; Mr. John Kolenberg and Mr. Aloysius Weimer as senior
assistants; Miss Ruth L. Drury, Miss Bertha Rundstrom, and Miss
Dorothy Wilcox as junior assistants; Miss Lucy Ruick as attendant.
The following have given temporary service: Miss Mayme Cole,
Miss Charlotte Gregory, Mrs. Ruby Taylor, and Mrs. E. W. Usher
as senior assistants; Miss Karin Amdisen, Miss Ella Beck, Miss
Katharine Hall, Miss Mary Rinker, Miss Lydia Dexter, Mrs. Lucia
Josephson, Mr. B. N. Bysack, and Mr. Einar Mose as junior
assistants; Miss LouBelle BaShore, Mr. Edward Geiger, Mr. Ben
Goldberg and Mr. Loren Trimble as attendants.
Respectfully submitted,
CLEMENT W. ANDREWS,
Librarian.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
To THE GOVERNOR or 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 of this state," approved June 17, 1891,
under which this corporation is organized, the Directors of The
John Crerar Library submit their thirtieth annual report for
the year 1924.
No change has occurred in the membership of the Board, which
is composed of the following persons: Robert T. Lincoln, Marvin
Hughitt, Thomas D. Jones, John J. Mitchell, Leonard A. Busby,
Robert Forsyth, Chauncey Keep, Frederick H. Rawson, Albert A.
Sprague, Walter B. Smith, Chauncey B. Borland, Ludvig Hektoen,
and Henry G. Gale, together with William E. Dever, Mayor
of Chicago, and Martin J. O'Brien, Comptroller of Chicago, ex-
omcio members.
At the annual meeting on January lyth, 1924, Mr. Marvin
Hughitt, who had been President since 1913, declined reelection.
The Board accepted with regret his decision and expressed to him
their appreciation of his services. The present officers of the Li-
brary are as follows: President, Thomas D. Jones; First Vice-
President, John J. Mitchell; Second Vice-President, Robert Forsyth;
Secretary, Walter B. Smith; Treasurer, William J. Louderback;
Librarian, Clement W. Andrews.
During the year the Library has received through the generous
subscriptions of a number of its friends the sum of $12,650 as a
contribution toward the expense of keeping the Library open in the
evenings. These subscriptions were gratefully received and evening
service was resumed on September 8th. The names of the donors
will be printed in the full report.
The Library also received a contribution of $500 from the In-
stitute of Medicine of Chicago to meet in part the expense of prep-
aration and publication of the second edition of its List of Current
Periodicals.
8 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
The recorded number of calls for books from the stacks was
168,133 for the year and the total use of books and periodicals
during that time may be estimated at 515,000.
The collections have been increased by 14,576 volumes, and
now contain approximately 493,000 volumes, 14,500 maps and
plates, and 300,000 pamphlets. The Library has on its records
titles of 3,705 current periodicals and of 15,969 other serials.
For all details in regard to the administration of the Library,
reference is made to the appended report of the Librarian.
The report of the Treasurer, also appended, presents, as re-

12 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
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, $26,092.60, making a total credit in the Building Fund of $121,817.-
34-
The Book Fund has been increased by the amount of the investment
during the year, less depreciation, and now stands at $612,097.45.
The income of the Huntington W. Jackson Fund has been expended
for books and that of the Henry Cradle Memorial Fund for periodicals.
The income from the Endowment of the Collection of the Chicago
Academy of Sciences for the year 1923 is $250.00, which has been ex-
pended for books and periodicals, together with $200 from the accumu-
lated income.
The income from the Michael A. Lane Fund for Histology and Im-
munology is $50.00. This has been expended for books.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM J. LOUDERBACK,
CHICAGO, January 15, 1925. Treasurer.
To THE BOARD or DIRECTORS OF THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY:
Dear Sirs: We have audited the books and accounts of THE JOHN
CRERAR LIBRARY for the year ending December 31, 1924. We
examined and compared book values with market quotations of all securi-
ties, which we found to have an aggregate market value of less than the
book value. We also verified the cash on hand and balances in banks.
We accordingly certify that, in our opinion, the statements, at-
tached hereto, truly set forth the cash receipts and disbursements and
the results from operations for the year and the assets and liabilities
at the end of the year.
Very truly yours,
THE AUDIT COMPANY OF NEW YORK,
E. C. GOODMAN, Western Manager.
CHICAGO, February 16, 1925.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY:
Gentlemen: The outstanding event of the year has been the re-
opening of the Library in the evening, beginning September eighth.
The results have met the expectations of the Board very fully, as
will be seen upon consideration of the statistics given later in this
report. In addition the attention of the Board may well be called to
the notable increase in the collections which make them still more
valuable for research work in the subjects covered.
Special Collections. From the income of its special fund five
titles have been added to the Huntington W. Jackson Collection on
Constitutional Law, which now contains 1,238 titles, of which 154
have been purchased from the fund.
The income from the fund for the Gradle Collection on the
Eye and Ear has been spent for periodicals and 40 volumes have
been added to the 574 already having the bookplate. There are
now i, 1 8 1 titles of books and some 3,250 pamphlets in the col-
lection.
The Chanute Collection on Aviation now contains 891 books,
some 635 pamphlets, and 2,500 clippings.
The Cremation Association of America has continued the sup-
port of its collection, which now contains 196 titles of books and
286 pamphlets.
From the income of its special fund 17 titles have been added
to the Michael A. Lane Collection on Histology and Immunology,
which now contains 68 volumes.
The collection of Trade Catalogues has been increased by 201
pieces, in continuance of previous gifts. It now contains 6,734
pieces from 2,535 firms.
Attendance. The total number of visitors recorded was 100,909,
a daily average of 326 and an increase of 24,374, or nearly one- third,
over the figures for 1923. About 8,000 of this increase was due to
evening service and a good part of the remainder to a more accurate
count, but apart from these there was a very marked increase in the
number of visitors in the day hours during the last three months of
13
i 4 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
the year. A method of improving this record has suggested itself
and will be tried in 1925.
Use. The calls for books were 168,133, a daily average of
542. The record by months is given in the first table of library
statistics. The largest number in any one day was 1,092 on
November 28th; the smallest 238 on September ist. Using the same
factors as in the past the total use may be estimated at 515,000
volumes and periodicals.
Here the effect of the evening opening can be determined quite
accurately. Out of a total of 50,700 calls filled during September
to December 12,300 were after 5.30 P.M. This proves that the use
of the Library during the four and a half evening hours is almost
exactly one-fifth of the whole or that these evening hours are almost
exactly one-half as busy as those of the day. This is in close agree-
ment with the observations made in the temporary quarters. As the
extended time increases the usefulness of the Library by twenty-five
per cent, while the increase in cost is less than ten per cent, it is
evident that the change is justified by the results provided the
additional expense does not impair the quality of service.
A detailed classification of the call slips for books and of the
admissions to the stacks is given in the second table of library statis-
tics. The following table gives the totals and percentages for each
department.

Totals 168,133 1,808
For the first time in several years a notable change has occurred.
There has been an absolute loss as well as a relative one in the
Medical Sciences and relative as well as absolute gains in the
Physical and Applied Sciences. This change is evident also in the
calls for the individual subjects. Every one of the subjects in the
Applied Sciences except photography shows a decided relative
gain; and physics and chemistry in the Physical Sciences. Never-
theless the six leading subjects are the same: medicine, engineering,
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 15
chemical technology, trade and transportation, political economy
and chemistry; though the order is quite different from that of 1923,
which was: medicine, chemical technology, political economy, en-
gineering, trade and transportation, chemistry.
The admissions to the stacks, 1,760 in 1,808 subjects, were
about the same as in 1923. Of the admissions, 1,082 were on
presentation of 24 passes and 678 by registration. Eight permanent
and 12 temporary passes have been granted, leaving 24 permanent
passes now in force.
The recorded cases of assistance given by the Reference Libra-
rian and his assistants by telephone were 1,683 an d by letter 180.
The figures for 1921 were 1,578 and 214 respectively. In addition
the assistants in charge of the current periodicals report answer-
ing 122 calls by telephone; the Medical Reference Librarian
about 600.
The total work of the cameragraph for the year was 6,640 sheets
on 571 orders with charges of $1,085.15. This exceeds the previous
maximum, of 1919, by 425 sheets or nearly seven per cent. These
records, when duy attested, are now accepted by the courts in
patent cases as competent evidence of date of publication and
availability to the public.
For loans for use outside the Library, there were granted 1,259
requests for 1,413 volumes from 173 libraries and 1,558 requests
from 629 individuals for 1,759 volumes. The figures for 1923 were
1,128 volumes to 162 libraries and 1,705 loans to 548 individuals.
Sixteen requests from twelve libraries were refused. In five cases the
books loaned were asked for while out. The loans obtained by the
Library for its readers were 33 for 68 volumes from seven libraries.
The average time required to fill calls was 7.73 minutes, while
in 1923 it was 7.97. This continued improvement in the service is
most pleasing.
Besides 127,564 calls for books for use in the general reading
room which were filled, there were 1,599 which were not. Of these
216 were in use by other readers, 80 were at the bindery, and 747
were reported as missing, leaving 556 which should have been
found. This number is less than five in a thousand of the total,
and the percentage is only slightly greater than in 1917 and 1918.
On the other hand the assistants at the Delivery desk gave informa-
tion which made unnecessary some 1,500 calls which were presented.
1 6 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
The use of the Class Room has been continued by all but two
of the societies reported last year and the privilege has been granted
to two more organizations and for four special occasions.
Publications. In June the Library issued its Twenty-ninth
A nnual Report, a pamphlet of 5 2 pages. For the first time since 1 920
the List of Donors was included. An edition of 5,000 copies was
printed and nearly all distributed. In July the Library issued the
second edition of its List of Current Periodicals, a pamphlet of 237
pages. This contains 3,260 titles in three arrangements, by title,
by subject, and, except those in English, by language. The first
edition, issued in 1902, contained 1,600 titles. The List does not
contain titles of all the periodicals received by the Library, as it
was decided to omit those which were received irregularly or only
occasionally and a number whose value appeared to be rather as
news of the moment than as material for research. The List omit-
ted also quite a number now received but which when it was issued
were only ordered or selected. An edition of 1,250 copies was
printed.
The numbers of the various publications remaining in stock are
given in the following table, which shows their distribution during
the year.

Printed Cards. The distribution of one copy of each catalogue
card to the Chicago Public Library, Field Museum of Natural
History, Library of Congress, Northwestern University, University
of Chicago, and the University of Illinois, has been continued; also
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 17
the sending of one copy of each card printed by the Library to
Harvard University, New York State Library, Princeton University,
Royal Library at The Hague, St. Louis Public Library, University
of California, University of Iowa, University of Michigan, Univer-
sity of Minnesota, and Yale University. Nine new orders have
been received, one of which, from the University of Pennsylvania,
is intended as the first instalment of an order for all cards. The
distribution amounted to 191,798 cards, of which 49,362 were sent
to the depository libraries, 958 sent as gifts, and 141,478 sold or
sent in exchange.
The present state of the Union Catalogue is shown in the

The filing of the foreign cards has been brought up to date.
The printing office at Oquawka has not only printed 158,000
catalogue cards and call numbers on 116,000 Library of Con-
gress cards, but also 218,000 call-slips and about 60,000 other
forms.
Selection and Ordering. During the year 5,830 orders were
given. Of these 345 failed or were cancelled, leaving 5,485 valid
orders covering 10,012 volumes at an estimated cost of $20,969;
5,005 orders were filled, covering with the standing orders for con-
tinuations, 10,384 volumes at a cost of $21.304. There are left out-
standing, in addition to the orders for continuations, 2,350 orders
for 3,366 volumes at an estimated cost of $5,072; of these orders,
890 were given before January i, 1924.
The selection of American and English books is well up to date,
and the ordering of them, supplemented by the increased number
received on inspection, is not badly in arrears. The same cannot be
said of foreign orders, especially German. While the establishment
of the gold mark as a medium of foreign trade has rendered it pos-
sible to order new German books with assurance that the cost can
i8 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
be determined accurately, yet the uncertainty as to the prices of
those works which were published during the paper mark regime,
the continuance of unreasonably high prices by some German
publishers, and the increased cost of books everywhere, together
with the improbability of the Board's being able to increase the
appropriation, will make inevitable a very drastic revision of the
titles already selected as well as a serious restriction of freedom of
purchase of new titles. Bad as the effect of this will be on the use-
fulness of the Library it seems greatly to be preferred to a narrowing
of the scope of its activities since these have become so well estab-
lished in the expectations of its readers.
Accessions. The total accessions of volumes for 1924 have
been 14,926, of which 4,542 have been received as gifts and 10,384
obtained by purchase. Volomes made by binding serials are in-
cluded in these figures. There have been withdrawn 350 volumes,
leaving the net accessions for the year 14,576, which with the
464,065 reported for 1923 make the total now on the books 478,641.
There remain to be entered only the Laufer purchase, about 14,000
volumes. This has its own catalogue, and particular books can be
obtained when asked for, so that the total number of volumes now
available is about 493,000.
The number of maps and plates added during 1924 was 196,
making the total number n>w on the record 14,591.
There have been received 29,900 pamphlets as gifts; author
slips for 4,353 titles were filed in the official catalogue; the clas-
sified collection was increased by 9,575 pamphlets; and the col-
lection of trade catalogues by 201. The number added to the clas-
sified collection includes the number of titles filed but both these
numbers have no necessary connection with the number reported
as received. Many of the pamphlets received are duplicates, and
many more are continuations, or for various reasons are put else-
where than in the pamphlet collection. Their classification is shown
in the second table of library statistics. To the classified collection
of 161,502 should be added those still unclassified, about 132,000,
and the trade catalogues, 6,734, making a total of approximately
300,000.
Considerable work has been done on the collection of pamphlets
on the Natural Sciences received in 1921. To date 83 boxes have
been examined, leaving 26 still to be opened. From these 83 boxes
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 19
there have been taken 82,939 pieces divided as follows: Volumes
(bound or over 100 pages), 2,008; independently published pam-
phlets, 3,393; parts of sets, 8,990; dissertations, 7,994; excerpts,
38,620; reprints 27,751. The volumes, pamphlets, and dissertations
have been made available to readers. During the year 455 volumes
were entered in the records, making a total of 2,178 to date.

The increases in the different departments have been so nearly
normal in proportion as to give a symmetrical development of the
collections, the percentages of the totals remaining the same as for
the last four years, except that Applied Sciences have gained and
Medical Sciences lost a point.
The assistants in charge of periodicals report on the two lists,
general and medical, 3,721 copies of 3,705 titles. Of these 1,204
were received as gifts, and the estimated cost of the 2,517 sub-
scriptions is $11,481. There have been marked increases in the
subscription price of periodicals, not confined to any one class or
country, as will be seen from the addition of $2,000 to the estimate
of cost. As the subscriptions have been renewed for 1925 it will be
necessary to increase the appropriation for 1925 but the question
of continuing for 1926 should be decided.
The assistant in charge of the Continuation Record reports 911
titles added to the list and 575 withdrawn, leaving 15,969 at the
end of the year. About 5,923 are obtained by subscription at a
cost in 1924 of $5,570. These furnished 1,093 volumes entered on
the record of accessions. The other continuations were received as
gifts or in exchange, and furnished 1,015 volumes. For the gifts
20 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
686 first requests were sent; and for the purchases 1,207 nrs t noti-
fications were sent, 16 second, and 967 reported.
This report summarizes the results of an earnest effort on the
part of the assistants to bring the record to date and these results
present several points of interest. In the first place a very large
number of titles have been eliminated because of reports from the
agents or publishers that no further issues are to be expected and
perhaps as many more will be withdrawn because of reports still to
be received, and in the second place the increase in the cost of
printed material is as noticeable here as in the purchases of new
books. Although there were 234 fewer titles on the list of purchases
the cost rose from $4,998 to $5 , 5 70 or more than 10 per cent. Again,the
good results of applying for publications as soon as their appearance
is noted is shown by the marked increase of 570 titles of continua-
tions received by gift. Still another noticeable detail is the large
number, 1,002 volumes and 662 pamphlets, received through the
Chicago Academy of Sciences, as a result of the systematization of
their exchange relations and the resumption of publication by them.
Attention was called in the report for 1923 to important orders
for sets. While not all these orders were filled so many were received
that not for many years have the collections been so enriched as in
1924. Among the more important or more interesting sets completed
or extended may be mentioned the following periodicals: Annali
delle Universitd Toscane, Annali di statistica, Annuario scientifico ed
industrial, Commentarii de rebus in scientia naturali et medicina
gestis, Curtis 's Botanical Magazine, Feuerungstechnik, Gewerbearchiv
fur das Deutsche Reich, I'lnstitut, Journal de physique, Memoires con-
cernant I'histoire naturelle de I 'empire chinois, Messager des sciences,
Milchzeitung, Neues Journal der Pharmazie, Paris medical, Psychi-
atrische en neurologische bladen, Revue de VAgenais, St. Peter sburger
medizinische Zeitschrift, Das Stellwerk, Zeitschrift fur die gesamte
Kohlensaure-Industrie; and the publications of the following insti-
tutions: Chinese Customs Inspectorate, Collegia degli Ingenieri ed
Architetti in Milano, Congresso degli scienzati italiani, Derbyshire Ar-
chaeological and Natural History Society, Naturforschende Gesellschaft
Gorlitz, Instituts Solvay, R. Accademia delle scienze dell' Instituto di
Bologna, R. Accademia italiana medica di Roma, Socield geologica,
Societd italiana di scienze naturali, Society of Glass Technology. One
individual purchase may be mentioned, Astronomia Britannica,
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 21

taken of the kind offer of Mr. Paul M. Chamberlain to assist the
Library in developing its collection on horology. In addition to
several rare individual items the Library secured the collection of
the late M. Cottet of Paris, several hundred items. Another smaller
collection of 400 pamphlets on sovietism was obtained from a
German dealer, and still another of nearly equal size of the Annuarii
of Italian universities from an Italian dealer.
The most important gifts of the year have been the contribu-
tions of those friends of the Library who have made possible the
evening opening and that of the Institute of Medicine of Chicago
which assisted materially in the issue of the List of Current Period-
icals.
Of books and pamphlets there have been received as gifts
7,529 volumes and 29,900 pamphlets from 3,208 donors. The
volumes entered in the record of accessions were 4,542. The figures
for 1923 were 4,715 volumes, 16,102 pamphlets, 3,067 donors, and
3,805 entries. These were acknowledged by 4,166 postals, several
hundred personal letters, and 168 engraved forms.
It is not possible to state how much of this increase is due to the
greater promptness in making requests and how much to the re-
sumption of the practice of printing the List of donors but undoubt-
edly the latter factor has had an appreciable effect, which ought to
increase if the practice is continued.
It is pleasant to note that the institutions which have made
large gifts in the past have continued their interest in the Library.
The First National Bank has sent a very considerable amount of
material, as yet uncounted, which will supplement most usefully
our collections on banking and finance; the American Medical
Association has sent 242 volumes and 3,118 pamphlets; the Chicago
Municipal Reference Library, 168 volumes and 342 pamphlets; the
Abbott Laboratories, 40 volumes and 1,331 pamphlets. Of gifts
from individuals by far the largest was from Dr. Edward F. Wells
of Chicago, 1,000 volumes and 3,000 pamphlets. Other important
ones were from Mrs. Edward O. Brown, 173 volumes and 14 pam-
phlets; Dr. A. Behrendt, 164 volumes; Dr. James Murray Wash-
burn, 155 volumes. From outside Chicago the University of
Michigan sent 47 volumes and 406 pamphlets and the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company, 67 volumes and 37 pamphlets.
22 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
Duplicates. The sales of the year amounted to 1,052 volumes,
50 pamphlets, 1,267 numbers, and 1,657 pounds of periodicals. On
piece for piece exchange, 19 bound volumes, 90 pamphlets, and 36
numbers have been received; 226 bound volumes, 175 unbound
volumes, 579 pamphlets, and 2,758 numbers were sent.
Seven cases of books were sent to the Smithsonian Institution
for the Imperial University of Japan, which were mainly medical,
but which included a set of the Library's publications, and two
boxes of engineering journals. The collection was made after an
interview with a representative of the University.
Three hundred bound volumes and seventy unbound were sent
to the Smithsonian Institution for the Yokohama Municipal Library,
in response to their circular letter of appeal.
Twelve cases of duplicate foreign documents were sent to the
University of Minnesota on exchange account.
Inventory. The tenth inventory was begun January 2, 1924.
Levels D, E, and F, Divisions 550-990, have been read. The total
number of volumes not found was 1,087, of which 292 were reported
as missing in the ninth inventory, leaving 795 additional losses or
misplacements It should be stated that this inventory is far
more accurate than the ninth. The gross total of 1,795 reported
not present or accounted for in the ninth inventory has now been
reduced to 586. Adding the 795 of the tenth and the net losses of
20 from the General Reading Room and 7 from the Senn Room,
makes a total loss of 1,408 in 29 years, or one in 350. Fifteen cases
of mutilation have been discovered.
Of general periodicals 158 numbers were missed, of which 100
were replaced; 18 found to be mutilated, of which 12 were replaced,
together with four previously reported. Of medical periodicals
34 were missed and six found to be mutilated, all of which have
been replaced.
Binding. On January i, 1924, there were at the bindery 1,013
volumes, and 8,380 were sent during the year; 5 were returned as
incomplete, and 8,455 bound; leaving 940 at the bindery December
31, 1924. The cost of binding was $13,296, an average of $1.57 per
volume. This is a decrease of two cents per volume over 1923.
Catalogues. The Cataloguer reports that during the year
3,719 new titles have been prepared for print; 226 new titles type-
written; 41 titles prepared for print to replace old typewritten
titles and 43 to replace Library of Congress titles; 3,238 titles re-
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 23
ceived from the Library of Congress have been classified for the
catalogues; 70 such titles used to replace old J. C. L. titles; 78 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 7,910, which is about 70 per cent, of the
average number. The titles reprinted in correction of errors were
145 and for other alterations 589. Cards for 3,829 new titles and
683 reprinted titles were received from the printer; electrotypes for
64 new titles and 2 reprinted titles from the electrotypers. The
total number of separate titles prepared for print to date is 146,746;
of sets of cards received, 146,071; of electrotypes, 65,578.
The number of orders sent to the Library of Congress on tripli-
cate order sheets was 5,762 and reports were received on 5,531.
There were cards for 1,846 titles on hand January i, 1924; 3,960
were received during the year; cards for 3,450 were used in the
public catalogues; and for 233 withdrawn from the file; leaving
those for 2,123 on hand December 3ist. Of those withdrawn 8
titles were returned to the Library of Congress and 212 were can-
celled. Of the 3,960 titles received, 543 were analytical titles from
365 serial publications. Of the 2,123 titles on hand 925 are for
book orders before 1924, 625 for those of 1924, 479 for regular
standing orders, and 94 for a special analytical order. Sixteen
standing orders were completed or cancelled and seven new stand-
ing orders given.
There have been added 21,622 cards to the classed catalogue,
which now contains some 248,700 titles on 678,048 cards, an aver-
age of 2.72 cards per title; 16,223 cards have been filed in the
author catalogue, which now contains the same 248,700 titles on
453,238 cards, an average of 1.8 cards per title; 728 guides and
5,690 cards have been added to the subject index, which now con-
tains 33,564 guides and 238,913 titles on 115,289 cards, an average
of 0.48 card per title.
The distribution of the cards in the classed catalogue, by de-
partments, is shown in the following table :

24 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY
Of the 248,700 titles in the public catalogues about 143,600
are on cards printed by the Library, about 90,300 on Library of
Congress cards, about 12,200 on A. L. A. co-operative cards, 321
on other printed cards, and about 2,300 are typewritten. The total
number of cards and guides is about 1,280,000.
To the combined index of federal and state publications there
have been added 16,038 cards; the total is now 238,559.
The Cataloguer calls attention to a condition which has already
been put before the Committee on Administration, namely, the
great difficulty experienced by the Library in securing assistants
with adequate training in cataloguing technique. To this condition,
chiefly, is due the continued small output of completed work, and
the unavoidable postponement of what should be one of the most
important duties, the prompt recataloguing of serials in order to
present to the readers the frequent changes in their form, title,
editorship, etc. It is hoped, however, that the appointment of
Miss Hulce as second Assistant Cataloguer will be of not inconsid-
erable assistance, especially as she has the advantage of long expe-
rience in the routine of the Library.
The same condition has prevented much work on the arrears,
which nevertheless have been decreased by fifteen shelves, to a
total of 372, of which seven are pamphlets.
Mr. Childs, Assistant Cataloguer, has taken up the work begun
by Mr. Josephson in the collection, classification, and cataloguing
of the pamphlets on political economy and political science and
reports that 16 collections containing 900 pamphlets and 37 volumes
have been entered, 52 collections in 91 volumes are ready for enter-
ing, and 83 collections have received preliminary treatment.
Meetings. The Library was represented officially by the
Librarian and Assistant Librarian, and unofficially by one other
member of the staff, at the annual meetings of the American Library
Association, the Special Libraries Association, and the National
Association of State Libraries at Saratoga, June 30 th to July 5th;
officially by the Librarian at meetings of the Council of the Amer-
ican Library Association, Chicago, January ist to 3rd, 1925; and
unofficially at meetings of the American Library Institute, Lake
Placid, September 27th, and University Librarians, Chicago,
January ist, 1925; officially by the Assistant Librarian and un-
officially by one other member of the staff, at the annual meeting of
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN 25
the Illinois Library Association at Bloomington, October 2ist to
23rd; and unofficially by several members of the staff at the meeting
of the Medical Librarians Association at Chicago, June gth and loth.
Staff. The Classifier, Miss Grace Kelley, has been abroad for
nine months in 1924 and will not return until April, 1925. Six weeks
of this period were given by the Library for study.
The following appointments have been made: Miss Gertrude
Forstall as Cataloguer; Miss Charlotte Gregory as Assistant Ref-
erence Librarian; Miss Mayme Cole, Miss Anna Marie Stefanski,
Mrs. Winnifred Reid as senior assistants; Miss Katharine Hall,
Miss Mary R. Rinker, Miss Lou Belle BaShore, Miss Alice Larson,
and Mr. B. N. Bysack as junior assistants.
The following resignations have been received: Miss Clara A.
Ricketts, Mrs. Winnifred Reid as senior assistants; Miss Katharine
M. Hall, Mr. B. N. Bysack, Miss Lou Belle BaShore as junior
assistants; Miss Lucy Ruick as attendant.
The following have given temporary service: Miss Harriet E.
Penfield, as Classifier; Miss Jennie A. Hulce as Assistant Cataloguer;
Mrs. E. W. Usher, Mrs. Ruby Taylor, Miss Mary Reider, Mrs.
Henrietta R. Mohler, and Mr. Walter Thiele as senior assistants;
Miss Karen Amdisen, Miss Lydia Dexter, Miss Dorothy V. Hub-
bell, Miss Leora Janssen, Miss Sonia Galos, Mrs. Eleanor Krueger,
Clifford Stickney, Svend Wandelin, Mrs. G. Wendt, and Miss
Ella Beck as junior assistants; Frances Kernohan, Mildred Lietzow,
Theodore Brunswick, Fred S. Cook, Berthold Fried, William
Gappert, Bernard Ginsberg, Ben Goldberg, Sloan Hedgecock, and
David Rice as attendants.
The year has been one of reorganization after the numerous
changes of 1923, and the Librarian desires to record his grateful
appreciation of the efforts made by all members of the staff, and
more particularly by the Cataloguer and her assistants, to meet
the difficulties which these changes have caused.
Respectfully submitted,
CLEMENT W. ANDREWS,
Librarian.
CHICAGO, January 15, 1925.

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 of this state," approved June 17, 1891,
under which this corporation is organized, the Directors of The
John Crerar Library submit their thirty-first annual report for
the year 1925.
No change has occurred in the membership of the Board, which
is composed of the following persons: Robert T. Lincoln, Marvin
Hughitt, Thomas D. Jones, John J. Mitchell, Leonard A. Busby,
Robert Forsyth, Chauncey Keep, Frederick H. Rawson, Albert A.
Sprague, Walter B. Smith, Chauncey B. Borland, Ludvig Hektoen,
and Henry G. Gale, together with William E. Dever, Mayor
of Chicago, and Martin J. O'Brien, Comptroller of Chicago, ex-
officio members. The present officers of the Library are as fol-
lows: President, Thomas D. Jones; First Vice-President, John J.
Mitchell; Second Vice-President, Robert Forsyth; Secretary, Walter
B. Smith; Treasurer, William J. Louderback; Librarian, Clement
W. Andrews.
The recorded number of calls for books from the stacks was
200,213 for the year and the total use of books and periodicals
during that time may be estimated at 616,000.
Not all of the very large increase in the use made of the Library
over the record for 1924 is due to its having been open evenings
for eleven months instead of four, for it is now nearly equal to
the maximum of 1915. That the increased facilities are appreciated
by the users is made evident by the unsolicited renewal of the
contribution of $500 made by the Western Electric Company
towards the expense of the evening opening.
The collections have been increased by 14,399 volumes and
1,265 maps, and now contain approximately 507,000 volumes, 15,856
maps and plates, and 300,000 pamphlets. The Library has on its
records titles of 3,870 current periodicals and of 15,876 other
serials.
