return to her regular duties in the library of Leland Stanford 

 Junior University after a year in the Orient, was keenly felt. 

 No trained technical assistant has been secured in her place. 

 Mrs. Mary L. Crozier, employed on April 19, 1915, has been very 

 helpful in certain branches of the work, but is not trained for

 we cut and file as a reference catalogue, were filed to date until 

 about the middle of the year. Since that time the galleys have 

 accumulated, and we now await opportunity again to bring this 

 work up to date. This reference catalogue, now occupying 288
