In March, letters were sent out to certain librarians and 
library schools making inquiry regarding the legibility, 
durability, and economy of typewritten cards as compared 
with handwritten ones. The verdict was unanimous in 
favor of the use of the typewriter and the statement was 
made, among others, that ‘‘It would be extravagant to have 
a handwritten catalog in an institution of any size.” It is 
earnestly hoped that the library may soon be supplied with 
a typewriter, in order that the hundreds of books and 
pamphlets awaiting cataloging may be made more readily 
available to our readers.
