- Title:
- President's report to Board of Trustees
- Date Created:
- 1891-06
- Description:
- Fanny Thomas was appointed Librarian in November 1890 by the Board of Trustees, who approved her recommendation for a course in library instruction during the second semester of freshman year. Rhetoric was reduced from 4 to 3 hours to accommodate this change, and a 1-hour course in Library Work was added. The course covered four major subjects: How to Use the Library; The Classification and Best Reference Books in Each Class; The Best General Reference Books and Their Use; Books and How to Read Them. The course was first taught during the fall of 1891, and though the content and course number have changed over the years, undergraduates are still required to take a library course.
