Mr. WindS s hiter-university contacts and committee work have been important not only foa ri the standpoint of his contribution to scholarship, but also from the standpoint of the advancement of professional prestige through the continued willing^ of the University of Illinois to follow his leadership in suggestions of change to'vflti fill too* • "His state relations are as important for professional education as for the development of library service. H e has carefully watched the needs for service training of the public librarians who could not meet requirements for admission to regular training. The problem of training for teacher-librarianship in Illinois is one of the current problems which holds his interest. During two different years Mr. Windsor served as President of the Association of American Library Schools. In addition he has served on committees and has given freely advice to others serving in similar capacities. "Though he himself has not felt the urge for setting down his opinions and having them printed, he has been constantly on the alert to find ways and means | to help others, especially younger members, to publish material of value to I the profession as a whole. "While these evidences of leadership and accomplishment are splendid, it seems to me there is one other phase of Mr. Windsor's professional activity which might in ways transcend the value of his other successes because of the element of continuity implied—that is, the time and thought he has given to guiding, encouraging, stimulating younger people on his staff or alumni who come to him for advice. "As a man Mr. Windsor is admired by all who know him for his sincerity, his loyalty, his sense of fair dealing, his practical common sense, his emotional balance, and his fine sense of humor."
