237. The books were transferred to the Alderman Library in May 1938. Since
the completion of the repairs and improvements that followed, the former library
room has been used occasionally as a public hall. Partitions erected between
the pillars of that hall have made available an outer ring of offices. These
offices, the two oval rooms below, and the four wings have been taken over as
administrative offices for some of the Deans, for the Bursar, for the Director
of Admissions, and for the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. The southwest
wing has been assigned to the Bureau of Public Administration, and the
small collection of books, pamphlets, and documents maintained by that Bureau
is the only library material now remaining in the Rotunda buildings.

Department suffered no loss of buildings and apparatus, but their entire
library, including a valuable file of professional journals, is utterly swept
away."

247. The reference is to chapter seventy-two, "Concerning Snakes", of The
Natural History of Ireland by a Danish writer, Nils Horrebow, which had
appeared in an English translation in 1758. The complete text of that chapter
is: "No snakes of any kind are to be met with throughout the whole island."
The chapter was made famous by Samuel Johnson's reference to it as recorded
by Boswell in the diary entry for 13 April 1778. In the Oxford edition of
1934, edited by George Birkbeck Hill and L. F. Powell, this appears on page
279 of the third volume.

when an additional $534 was granted, and 1903-1904, when an additional $75
was granted, this amount being for the purchase and binding of periodicals. A

sum of $500 was regularly appropriated for the Law Library, with an additional
$500 in 1901-1902 and again in 1904-1905.

253. Bruce, vol. 4, p. 270. The printed report of the President of the University
of Virginia to its Board of Visitors for the session 1950-1951 has
on page 15 a table of capital outlays for buildings. That table records the
following amounts during this period: Restoration of Rotunda, $200,000;
Cabell Hall, $143,621; Rouss Physical Laboratory, $55,000; Mechanical
Laboratory, $60,000; Randall Hall, $20,000. These make a total of $478,621.
There was a State appropriation of $200,000 for the Rotunda restoration,
there was a contribution from Charles Broadway Rouss for the Physical Laboratory,
and Randall Hall was paid for by the J. W. and Belinda Randall Charities
Corporation. According to Bruce some money was available from the Fayerweather
bequest.

315. General Douglas MacArthur ended his address of 19 April 1951 before a
joint meeting of the Senate and House of Representatives in Washington by
recalling a barracks-room ballad popular in his youth "which proclaimed most
proudly that `old soldiers never die: they just fade away. And like the
old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade
away..." This text is quoted from page 15 of The General and the President,
by Richard H. Rovere and Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., New York, c1951.

316. Herbert Putnam became Librarian of Congress in 1899. An early statement
of his concerning the classification of the books is quoted by David C.
Mearns in The Story up to Now: the Library of Congress 1800-1946,
Washington, 1947, p. 172:

"The present classification of the Library is but a slight expansion
of that adopted by Thomas Jefferson in 1815 for his library of 6,700 volumes.
It is meager, rigid, inelastic, and unsuited to a library of a million
volumes. The entire library ought to be reclassified."

317. See article entitled "D.C. versus L. C." in Libraries (a continuation
of Public Libraries), vol. 35, no. 1, January 1930, p. 3.

318. There seems to be no record as to when and by whom the decision to
adopt the Dewey Classification was made. In a letter of 20 May 1951 (which
is filed with these notes), Prof. John W. Wayland of Madison College says
of Librarian Page: "I do not think he ever had any intimation of modern
library science or method." It was probably Librarian Patton who began the
use of that system. In an article on "The Library" in the Alumni Bulletin,
new series, vol. 7, no. 1, January 1907, p. 38, he reported on progress
already made in applying that classification. There is in the Alderman
Library a copy of the sixth edition of Dewey's Decimal Classification, published
in 1899, which bears the name of Anne Seeley Tuttle, Assistant

were: (1) an endowment for research of at least $50,000; (2) a group of buildings
for the Medical Sciences; (c) a great new library costing one million
dollars; (4) two dormitories as a starter; (5) two new buildings to furnish

promised for not later than 1953. All the other objects have been achieved.
