Dean’s Message

by Ronald F. DowThe Andrew H. and Janet Dayton NeillyDean of River Campus

Not Too Bad

For the past few years, a question frequentlyasked of me by those in the academic andRochester community who care aboutlibraries is “How is the library doing?” Thecontext for the inquiry is most frequentlyfound in newspaper articles of budget slash-es and tuition increases at one university oranother and of stories about libraries buyingfewer books, cutting serial subscriptionsand laying off longtime employees.

When asked, I almost always respond bysaying “The library isn’t doing too bad.”But, this is not the thoughtful answer thequestioner deserves from a dean of libraries.First and foremost the answer is grammati-cally incorrect, but to a like degree, theanswer is factually incorrect.

I know the correct usage is “badly,” justas I know it is really hard to articulate a factual answer that is both fair to theUniversity and to the library’s actual cir-cumstances. Research libraries depend onfinancial support from university coffers,from restricted endowment income, andfrom annual gifts. Through its academicunits, the University has fully funded thelibraries’ budget requests the past few years.On the other hand, the libraries’ endow-ment income has plummeted in terms ofcontribution to the bottom line.

By New York State law, once an endow-ment falls below the original gifted princi-

pal, all incomeearned must bereturned to the funduntil the originalvalue is reestablished.Many of the library’sendowments werecreated recently, sothey are for the fore-seeable future pro-ducing income dedi-cated to sustainingprincipal. Thismeans the library hassuffered a significantcut in purchasingpower through loss of

near-term contribution to our budget fromendowment income.

Endowment income is supplemented bygifts from alumni and others who supportthe libraries’ mission through membershipin the Friends and unrestricted gifts. [Thelibrary received nearly $10,000 from theformer and $8,400 from the latter this pastacademic year.] These gifts just begin tosustain the creative and energized work ofthe library’s staff whose dedication, coupledwith the historical quality inherent in thelibrary’s collections, has returned the libraryto a central place in the lives of students.[To learn how you can join this group ofsupporters, see the back page of thisnewsletter.]

Our library is being supported with insti-tutional funding, but endowment incomethat adds value to our programming andcollections is getting thin. So, we aren’tdoing too badly from the point of view ofinstitutional support, but we are doing farless well at meeting the needs that are fund-ed with endowment income and unrestrict-ed gifts.

In the future I’ll be more careful with mygrammar. I can control that, but I can’tcontrol your generosity. With your financialsupport, my answer to all future questionerscan be, “Not badly at all.” Without qualifi-cation.

“Slushpile Cinderella” on February 26.Grant Holcomb, Director of the Memorial

Art Gallery, will introduce Marc Pachter,Director of the National Portrait Gallery, onMarch 24. Pachter will discuss “The Makingof an American Icon: George Washingtonand Gilbert Stuart.”Pachter wrote“There is only oneAmerican visualdocument thatmight be said torank in importancewith the Declarationof Independence orthe Bill of Rights.That is, GilbertStuart’s full-lengthportrait of George Washington painted dur-ing Washington’s last year in office. It pro-vided the new nation with a summary ofwhat we would come to expect of theinvented office of the Presidency.” Pachterwill discuss how the President and the por-traitist came together, why it spent most ofits existence in Great Britain, and how amajor national campaign in 2001 saved itfor the nation. The lecture will be held inHoyt Hall.

Rush Rhees Library will bustle with activityover Meliora Weekend 2003, October 10-12. A series of lectures, exhibits, tours, anda reception highlight the Library’s involve-ment in celebrating Meliora.

Oscar Hijuelos, one of the nation’s mostacclaimed Hispanic writers, will speak aspart of the Library’s Neilly Series. Knownfor his lyrical and literary prose, Hijueloswill discuss “From Anecdote to Speculation:The Small and Larger Details of Life ThatInspire One’s Fiction.” He will share howhis Tío Pedro once played bass with XavierCugat in the 1930s and became a sourcefor the MamboKings PlaySongs of Love,and how asong inspiredhis mostrecent novel, ASimple HabanaMelody. Hewill give anintimateaccount ofhow he ismoved by thesimplest of images or imagined moments.The lecture is in Hoyt Auditorium onFriday, October 10, at 5 p.m.

Two other Meliora speakers have closeties with the University. J. Nelson Hoffman’55 will share his experience in “The Perilsand Pleasures of Self-Publishing.” Hoffmanpublished Virtue and Values for the 21stCentury: Renewing America’s Character andSpirit in 2001 with great success. He states,“The art and work of organizing one’s ideasto create a readable book, and seeing itpublished in a bound, finished product is

one of themost enjoy-able and satis-fying projects Ihave everundertaken.”Listeners willlearn what ittakes to avoidminefields andreap the joysof the experi-ence.

Meliora Medley Hoffman’s talk will be in the Plutzik Library(2nd floor of Rush Rhees Library) at 11a.m. Saturday, October 11.

John J. Waters, Professor Emeritus ofHistory, will divulge some of his research ina presentation “Rediscovering Rochester: A

History of theCollege in the19th Century.”Waters willdescribe how a liberal gentle-man scholarRobert Kellyand the bril-liant classicistA.E. Kendrick,supported bymore than

1,000 donors, created the most innovativecollege curriculum in mid-centuryAmerica—right here in Rochester! Waterswill speak at 1 p.m. October 11 in thePlutzik Library.

For viewing pleasure, there will be twoexhibits, the first supported by a grant bythe New York Council for the Humanities.Rochester’s Highland Park is one ofacclaimed landscape designer Frederick LawOlmsted Sr.’s creative masterpieces. “OurOlmsted Parks: Implementing His Vision InRochester” will explore how the Olmstedvision evolved in Rochester, and who locallywas involved in the development of thesearboreal treasures. As well as Olmsted, theexhibit will feature Dr. Edward Mott Moore,the “Father of Rochester’s Parks,” GeorgeEllwanger and Patrick Barry, who donatedthe land that eventually became the nucleusof Highland Park, and Calvin C. Laney, thefirst Superintendent of the Rochester ParksDepartment. Stunning original photographsand maps bring the vision to life. Theexhibit will be in the Great Hall of RushRhees Library.

The second exhibit will be mounted inRare Books and Special Collections.Geology professor Herman Fairchild docu-mented his science in an interesting way byphotographing the changing city. Fairchild,at Rochester from 1888 to 1920, was afounding member of the Geological Society

of America. His work on the movement ofglaciers in western New York and the theo-ries he developed are studied to this day.The exhibit, “Rochester From Ice Age toGilded Age: Professor Fairchild’sPhotographs 1890-1900,” is curated byprofessor William Chaisson of Earth andEnvironmental Sciences. Margaret Johnson’05 will supplement the exhibit withFairchild papers and other materials fromRare Books and Special Collections. Bothexhibits will be open all weekend.

After viewing the exhibits and listening toour speakers, visitors can relax and enjoythe rarified atmosphere of Rare Books andSpecial Collections during a casual recep-tion for Friends and supporters of theUniversity Libraries. Refreshments will beserved from 2 to 4 p.m. and curators willbe available to answer questions.

An exhibition mounted in the Great Hallof Rush Rhees Library, titled “Our OlmstedParks: Implementing His Vision inRochester,” will begin the three-part series.Curated by Nancy Martin, the John M. andBarbara Keil University Archivist andRochester Collections Librarian, the exhibitwill focus on early maps, park drawings,and photographs, most of which have notbeen exhibited previously. The exhibitioncan be viewed from October 1 throughDecember 31 during regular Library hours.

Noted historian Elizabeth Blackmar,Ph.D., will deliver a lecture, “Urban Parks:The Changing Prospects of Nature andRecreation,” as part two of the program.She will explore the legacy of urban parksand Rochester’s exemplary and uniqueplace nationally. Blackmar is Professor ofHistory at Columbia University and co-author of The Park and the People: A Historyof Central Park. The lecture will be held inthe at 5 p.m. October 17.

The New York Council for the Humanities,a state program of the National Endowmentfor the Humanities, awarded the RiverCampus Libraries a major grant to support atripartite program on Rochester’s parks. Theprograms will be held during October incelebration of National Humanities Month.

The program will explore historical andcontemporary issues surrounding publicparks. Rochester invested considerableresources to secure lands for public use asurban parks in the latter part of the 19thcentury. Both planners and landscape archi-tects held a vision of a system of parks thatwould provide a healthy atmosphere inwhich urban residents could find a peacefulsanctuary and a source of recreation. Inaddition to encouraging families to takeadvantage of these healthful benefits, theparks also served to preserve and exhibitthe splendors of nature within the publicdomain. With great foresight, early cityplanners provided an important legacy fortoday’s urban dwellers. But, because of fick-le economies and changing demographics,urban parks are currently the source ofcommunity conflict and political debate.

The three-part program, consisting of alecture, an exhibit, and a walking tour, willconsider the validity of the original visionsfor park use and examine issues regardingthe need to preserve the parks as significantcomponents of the public realm. The pro-grams will explore whether urban parks are

Beck will describe in detailFrederick Olmsted, Sr.’s vision for HighlandPark and its significance as an historic parklandscape. Beck also will discuss futuremanagement and use of the park. The tourwill begin at 1 p.m. in front of theLamberton Conservatory, 180 ReservoirAve., in Highland Park.

ry of Rudolf and Hilda Kingslake.Kingslake was a founding facultymember of the Institute of Opticswho, according to Moore, wasresponsible for training most of thenation’s lens designers and theirintellectual progeny. HildaKingslake, like Rudolf, graduatedfrom the Imperial College’s first pro-gram in optics. They later jointlyauthored many publications.

This small, but important collec-tion includes such classics as JamesFerguson’s Astronomy ExplainedUpon Sir Isaac Newton’s Principles,And Made Easy To Those Who HaveNot Studied Mathematics, David

Optical IllusionFor 10 years Pat Sulouff, the Physics, Opticsand Astronomy (POA) librarian, was awoman with a mission. The History ofOptics Collection resided safely, but out ofsight, in the backroom of the POA Library,a spot that Sulouff referred to as “inglori-ous” at best. The collection included morethan 200 volumes, with an additional 82volumes on permanent loan from theOptical Society of America (OSA). In 1991,the OSA deposited these books with thelibrary with the intent that they would formthe nucleus of a larger collection.

Sulouff has added books to the collectionsince the beginning of her tenure in 1993,but continued to be vexed by the collec-tion’s inaccessibility. She wanted to see thecollection housed in an attractive glassedbookcase—a place that would serve toaffirm the collection’s importance andwhich would provide adequate room forexpansion.

Earlier this year, when the opportunitypresented itself, Sulouff put her plea to

Wayne Knox, Director of the Institute ofOptics, who, in turn, reached out to thelocal optics community. By June 2003, thePOA Library had the attractive bookcase itneeded thanks to the generosity of Myrtaand Robert Knox, Duncan Moore, andMartin Scott. The gifts were given in memo-

In July, Edward G. Miner Library celebratedthe re-launch of its web site. What doesthat mean exactly? Well, it is similar to astore’s grand re-opening after extensive renovations, upgrades, and re-stocking ofthe shelves. The new site is more visuallyappealing, and it is restructured to aggregateand display clinical, research, academic, andhistorical resources in a more logical, easy-to-use fashion.

Some of the new features include an“Ask a Librarian” e-mail link on each page,electronic enrollment for Miner classes, a“News” feature, and prominent display of aRare Books and Manuscripts link on thefront page.

Students, teachers, researchers, histori-ans, and the general public now are able toaccess complete inventories and descrip-tions for all Rare Books and Manuscriptscollections online, enriched by photograph-ic images. Two well-known Rochester physi-cians Dr. Harry L. Segal and Dr. GeorgeHoyt Whipple are among those in the col-lection. Dr. Segal did extensive research inthe field of gastroenterology. The bulk ofthe papers in the Segal collection span theperiod 1941-1987. Dr. Whipple wasfounding Dean of the University ofRochester School of Medicine (1921-1953)and Chairman of the Dept. of Pathology. Ascientist of international standing, Whipple

Major Re-launch For Minershared the Nobel Prize in Medicine andPhysiology in 1934 for his work on thetreatment of anemia.

Supported by a new committee and webmanager, the Miner web site will continueto change and grow. The site reflects thedynamic, innovative nature of the MinerLibrary and the Medical Center. It is anevolving project that highlights the impor-tance of all Miner’s knowledge resources. To view the site, logon to http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/hslt/miner.

The past two academic years have broughtSibley Music Library a confluence of signifi-cant gifts of jazz recordings. Ron Carter(BM ’59), one of the great jazz bass playersknown particularly for his work with theMiles Davis quintet, donated seven hundredrecordings from his personal collection. Heplays on all of the recordings—frequently asa sideman, sometimes as a leader. The col-lection contains not only his most famousrecordings but some lesser-known sessionsas well. The recordings date from the1960s, ’70s, and ’80s and include Carter’swork with Davis, Eric Dolphy, HerbieHancock, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard,Hubert Laws, Horace Silver, and many otherdistinguished jazz musicians. Carter wasawarded the Hutchison Medal at theEastman School of Music in 2002.

During the 2002-2003 academic year,John Storm Roberts, a Neilly Series speaker,donated some 900 recordings, a collectionparticularly rich in Latin and internationaljazz, to Sibley Music Library. He is the

Innovative IllustrationsOn October 17, 2003, the annual HelenAnn Robbins Lecture will be held in theGamble Room (3rd floor of Rush RheesLibrary) at 2:00 p.m. The speaker, Anna-Marie Ferguson, is a Canadian artist whoillustrated the 2000 edition of Sir ThomasMalory’s Le Morte d’Arthur published inLondon by Cassell and Company. The pub-lication of this volume with Ferguson’s illus-trations is an historic event. William Caxtonfirst published Malory’s great work in 1485with woodblock illustrations. There havebeen many illustrated editions since, butthe 2000 edition is the first complete editionof Malory’s Morte to be illustrated by a woman.

Ferguson’s illustrations are worthy oftheir historic importance. They are beauti-fully executed and occasionally show theinfluence of some great Arthurian illustra-tors of the past, like Russell Flint andGustav Doré. But they have the distinctivestyle of an artist who has mastered her craft,studied her predecessors, and then put herown stamp on the material.

Ferguson includes some scenes not oftenillustrated, such as the crucial healing of SirUrre by Lancelot (done in black and white),and a number of expected scenes, including

author of three important books on worldmusic and jazz: Black Music of Two Worlds:African, Caribbean, Latin, and African-American Traditions (2d ed., 1998); The LatinTinge: The Impact of Latin American Music onthe United States (2d ed., 1999); and LatinJazz: The First of the Fusions, 1880s to Today(1999).

Most recently, Sibley received a large col-lection of more than 2,700 recordings fromthe estate of Charles Swan, an alumnus ofthe University of Rochester. Swan beganstudying piano at age 11 and five years laterplayed in a jazz band, which he continuedthrough his college years. While a handinjury ended his hopes for a career inmusic, he retained a passion for jazzthroughout his life. At the time of his deathin 2002, Swan was Executive Director ofthe American Federation of Jazz Societies.He previously served as President of Jazz inArizona, and he was widely credited withreinvigorating both of these jazz organiza-tions.

Elaine in the barge and Arthur receivingExcalibur from the Lady of the Lake. Butshe includes many images that depictwomen in a way that makes the readerthink about the various roles women playin this romance. There are images of vic-timized or mistreated women: Elaine ofCorbenic being rescued by Lancelot, andPercivale’s sister dying after having beenbled. There are also images of women ofpower: Nimue beguiling Merlin and thefour queens who capture Lancelot. In addi-tion, there are depictions of other womenimportant to the story, such as the threeladies who lead Gawaine, Uwaine, andMarhaus on their quests.

Like the best illustrators, Ferguson usesher illustrations to help a reader visualizethe characters and events of the story, tocall attention to particular scenes, and tooffer a reading of the text. Her images arebeautiful, instructive, and insightful; herswill surely become one of the classic illus-trated versions of Le Morte d’Arthur.

The River Campus Librariesreceived two bequests thatdeserve special recognition. The first was from the estate of Elizabeth G. Holahan. Ms.Holahan, a longtime Friend ofthe Libraries and an interior dec-orator and historian, generouslybequeathed $25,000 to supportthe efforts of Rare Books andSpecial Collections.

The second gift benefited theMary Faulk Markiewicz Fund. In1983, Victor Markiewicz gavethe Library his wife Mary’s col-lection of more than 1,000 chil-dren’s books. Soon after, heestablished an endowed fund tosupport the collection. This giftwas followed by a contributionfrom the Carrier Corporation ofSyracuse that doubled theamount of the original gift. InMay 2003, the Library receivedan additional bequest from theestate of Mr. Markiewicz in theamount of $213,000. Thismunificent gift is to be used toenhance the Mary FaulkMarkiewicz Collection, which ishoused in Rare Books andSpecial Collections, Rush RheesLibrary.

Bequests are especially mean-ingful because they have theability to support significant col-lections far into the future, and,as importantly, can express spe-cific wishes and interests of thedonor. The Library is extremelygrateful to Ms. Holahan and Mr.and Mrs. Markiewicz, and theirfamilies, for their thoughtful-ness.
