GENERAL STATEMENT

From 1902 to 1912 the General Library was located in the University Press Building on the northwest corner of Fifty-eighth Street and Ellis Avenue. In the summer of 1912 it was removed to its permanent location in the Harper Memorial Library Building on Fifty-ninth Street midway between Ellis and University avenues. The reading-room in this building contains seats for 364 readers. It is located on the third floor, the principal entrance being in the West Tower. The administrative offices of the Library are on the second floor. In October, 1912, the Departmental Library of the Historical Group was transferred to this building, as also those of the Modern Language Group and the Department of Philosophy.

The other Departmental Libraries are located as follows: Astronomy (see also Mathematics), at Yerkes Observatory, Williams Bay, Wis.; Biological Group, in the Zoology Building, first floor; Chemistry, in Kent Chemical Laboratory, second floor; Classical Group, in Cobb Hall, fourth floor; Divinity School and Semitics, in Haskell Oriental Museum, third floor; Geology, Geography, and Paleontology, in Walker Museum, second and third floors; Law School, in Law Building, third floor; Mathematics and Astronomy, in Ryerson Physical Laboratory, fourth floor; Physics, in Ryerson Laboratory, second floor; Psychology, in Psychology Building, second floor; School of Education, in Emmons Blaine Hall, second floor. The Hitchcock House Library is located in Hitchcock Hall, first floor.

The Reading-Room of the General Library and that of the Library of the School of Education are open to all members of the University, former members of the Faculties, and former students of the University. So far as the limits of space permit they are also open to members of other educational institutions in the vicinity, residents of Chicago engaged in serious study, scholars visiting Chicago, and employees of the University.

The Departmental Libraries are open, as reference libraries, to members of the Faculties of the University, to Trustees and administrative officers, and to students pursuing advanced studies in any department. Other members of the University make use of them if permitted by the regulations of a particular library, or in special cases are granted the privilege by the Director or, in respect to a given library, by the Adviser of that library.

Students who have matriculated and paid the library fee may draw from the circulating libraries of the University three, but no more than three, volumes at one time.

Books drawn from the General Library may be retained two weeks, and may be once renewed for the same period. Books drawn from the Library of the School of Education may be retained for one week and may be once renewed for the same period. This rule does not apply to books reserved for overnight circulation.

On recommendation of a member of the University, and payment to the Cashier's office of a library fee of $2.50 a quarter (or, on recommendation of a Dean of the University approved by the Director, without fee), residents of Chicago, non-resident visiting scholars, alumni, non-resident and former students of the University acquire the privilege of drawing books from the General Library and the Library of the School of Education, subject to the rules applicable to

students of the University. Such persons are granted the privilege of using the Departmental Libraries by authority of the Director, or, in respect to a given library, by the Adviser of that library.

To scholars visiting Chicago complimentary cards, good for four weeks, are issued at the discretion of the Director.

The School of Education Library issues to teachers in the public schools of Chicago complimentary cards, giving the privilege of drawing books under the general rules of circulation.

Fuller information respecting the libraries is published in the Handbook of the Libraries of the University.

The Libraries of the University acquired at the opening of the University in 1892 the following collections: Baptist Union Theological Seminary Library, 40,000 volumes; the old University, 10,000 volumes; the Berlin purchase, 175,000 volumes. From these collections and by subsequent purchase, gift, and exchange, the accessions to the various libraries of the University have been up to July 1, 1914, as follows: Astronomy, 4,384; Biology, 23,856; Chemistry, 3,405; Classical Group, 37,271; Divinity School Group, 31,545; General Library, 116,552; Geography and Geology, 10,426; Historical Group, 68,012; Hitchcock Hall, 1,566; Law School, 38,327; Mathematics, 6,667; Modern Language Group, 46,443; Philosophy, 6,032; Physics, 3,715; Psychology, 1,398; Public Speaking, 472; School of Education, 31,291; Total, 431,362. The figures given above include books accessioned and on the shelves; also, in the case of Geology, the Divinity School Group, the Law School, and the School of Education, books which, though not fully accessioned and catalogued, have been distributed to the libraries named and are available for use. They do not include the other unaccessioned possessions of the libraries, such as the unaccessioned remainder of the Berlin Collection, the Lane Collection, the Durrett Collection, or the large number of volumes recently acquired from the Library of Congress. The total of these unaccessioned volumes is estimated at approximately 120,000; the pamphlets, at 200,000. The discrepancy between these figures and those given in issues of the Register previous to 1910-11 is accounted for by the fact that the latter involved some double counting of volumes transferred from the original collections to the various departmental libraries of the University. The libraries receive about 2,500 periodical publications, including, in part, the transactions and proceedings of learned societies.

THE WILLIAM RAINEY HARPER MEMORIAL LIBRARY

On January 10, 1910, ground was broken for the Harper Memorial Library Building, and the cornerstone was laid June 14, 1910. This building, erected in memory of William Rainey Harper, first President of the University, is the gift to the University of Mr. John D. Rockefeller and more than two thousand other persons, friends and former pupils of Dr. Harper. It was dedicated June 11, 1912. It occupies the center of the south front of the main quadrangle. It is 248 feet long from east to west, and 60 feet wide from north to south. It consists of two towers, each 60 feet by 50 feet, and 128 feet high, joined by the central section of the building, approximately 150 feet long and 100 feet high. It is permanently occupied by the administrative offices of the libraries, and the General Library. Temporarily it also contains the departmental libraries of the
