At a meeting of the Library staff in Gore Hall Saturday morning, Nov. 6, a committee was appointed to draw up resolutions on the death of Justin Winsor, late Librarian of Harvard University. It was voted that an engrossed copy of the resolutions be put on file in the Library records, and that another copy, signed by all the members of the staff, be sent to Mrs. Winsor. The resolutions as reported by the committee are as follows:

"The members of the staff of Harvard College Library desire to put on record some expression of their sorrow at the death of Justin Winsor, for twenty years Librarian of the University, and of the honor in which they hold his memory.

"The university community has lost in him a tireless helper; historical students everywhere have lost a guide; but to us who were privileged to serve under him the loss is immediate and personal. Our debt to him is twofold. Each of us has profited, by the daily contact with a masterful personality, by the stimulus of a high-purposed leadership, by the example of a marvelous industry. This is the debt we owe as individuals.

"As men and women engaged in a common work we owe another debt-a debt that is shared by all workers in libraries. To the administration of libraries he brought abilities of such an order as had rarely if ever before been so devoted, and he proved that such abilities are not wasted but on the contrary are demanded in the care of books. Whoever, therefore, shall devote himself to the care of books must find his work dignified, his place in the community elevated because of the life-work of Justin Winsor.

"To this simple acknowledgement of our debt to the librarian we would only add our testimony that the man was equally worthy of esteem and honor; and that he was in all things a good and faithful servant of Harvard University."
