Librarian's Report. 
567 
in the quarters designated for our library in the new building 
projected for the State Historical Society, it may not be advisa¬ 
ble to take steps for the increase of shelf room in our present 
quarters. It is possible, however, that something may have to 
be done to give temporary relief in the near future. 
No cataloguing has been done in the past two years, and for 
this reason a large number of dissertations are at present prac¬ 
tically inaccessible. 
The number of unbound volumes is at present quite large. If 
the financial condition of the Academy will permit, these vol¬ 
umes should be bound as soon as practicable, that they may be 
better preserved and more easily handled. 
A very important part of the Librarian’s duty is the solicit¬ 
ing of exchanges. It has seemed to the present librarian that 
much more effective work in this direction might be done by a 
fuller co-operation with the librarians of the State Historical 
Society and of the State University. 
The Librarian feels himself obliged at this time to resign his 
office. Increasing demands upon his time during the past year 
have seriously interfered with his conduct of this office, and fur¬ 
ther continuance in it is at present an impossibility. His resig¬ 
nation is hereby tendered. 
Respectfully submitted, 
F. G. Hubbard, 
Librarian.
