llttmni News Letter *ool of Library Service during the Summer Session. Miss Singleton W l k. will lclon udvinff there during the same term. * » be i During the second semester Dr. McDiarmid has visited several teachers' gt. libraries for the A.L.A. College Advisory Board. ^«cncrs those students who were in the Library School from 1912-17 will h* ;« j t h *«» " / r ^ ^ J' R ^ c c , profes^r a't f iional education for librarians. The first incumbent of the new chair w i i n * < Professor Recce. After leaving Illinois he was Director of the Library*School of the New York Public Library until it was absorbed by Columbia in 1926 At that time he joined the Columbia faculty. Mrs. Reece was Sabra E Stevens who graduated from the University of Illinois Library School in 1914 The first volume of the definitive edition of Horace Walpole's Correspondence, published by the Yale University Press, acknowledges the services of the cla-s in Advanced Reference in the identification of certain obscure eighteenth century persons. The class this year, as two of its predecessors, has worked on literary allusions, on biographical questions, and on the identification of quotations in the Walpole Correspondence. In recognition of this work of successive classes, the Library School is receiving the volumes of the Correspondence as they appear. A reproduction of a portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds showing Walpole as a young man, which was sent out to all supporters of this edition, has been framed and hung in Miss Phelps' office. N.B. It would be ideal if in some way we could convince our alumni that they should tell us of such important events in their lives as raises in salary, changes in responsibility, marriage, etc. It is very disconcerting to make recommendations of past students only to find that their salaries are now considerably higher than the salaries for which they have been recommended, or that for several years they have not lived in the locality indicated, or that their names have been radically changed. Employers feel that placement service is inefficient and undependable if one or more such incorrect items are included. They fail to take into consideration the personal factors involved. Every graduate, who has not definitely indicated that she or he is out of the profession, is potentially on the placement list. Won't you help us keep our information up to date? Younger graduates, who have sought the aid of other agencies besides the ^- of I. Library School in securing positions, might do well to remember that the other agencies also are interested in having correct records. AMELIA KRIEG A CORRECTION DEAR M I S S HOUCHENS: I read the October 19th issue of the Library School Association News Letter with a great deal of interest. News of fellow graduates is most interesting. The Library School Faculty News-Notes were enlightening, and I was Pleased to note that Dr. McDiarmid is the new instructor of administration. However, when I turned to the list of the junior college librarians, who received grants from the Carnegie Corporation, the method of listing the librarians in charge of these libraries appeared somewhat contradictory to me. In a f ew cases the librarian who was instrumental in securing the grant was not fcven full credit, whereas in another case, when there evidently was a change >" the librarian since the grant was made, the librarian responsible tor the grant the V * ,ia Junior Col ege Library al the time the grant was made was not mcntk.no I I am familiar with this caM, and t feel thai Mr Zimmerman, wh< worked hard " \ • nr<- the grant, should be given tin- m-dri as Miss Ge ma Mi Rchrinc s noted as the librarian of th. mwood Junior College
