REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN FOR 1920 



Dr. C. Stuart Gager, Director. 



Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith my report as librar- 

 ian for the year ending December 31, 1920. 



It is gratifying to state that it has been possible to accomplish 

 within the past year some of the larger tasks projected in the re- 

 port for 1919, The exchange list has been enlarged by fifty-two 

 new exchanges, twenty-seven of which are from foreign coun- 

 tries; the lacunae in the back numbers of German periodical pub- 

 lications, due to war conditions, have in great part been filled ; 

 the pamphlet catalog has been completely rewritten, so that w^hen 

 the new cards have been filed, there will be one dictionary catalog 

 to consult for all publications in the library; an inventory of the 

 pamphlet collection has been taken ; and over 250 completed vol- 

 umes of periodicals have been forwarded to the bindery.
