Despite the equivocable nature of that last line, Mrs. Armstrong writes that:

...both my mother and I knew that my father wanted the library to go to Pomona eventually. He had seen Dr. Barrows in Berkeley on the motor trip that proved to be his last, and very likely had discussed the Korean books with him. Dr. Barrows called on Mother after my father's death—possibly en route to Palm Desert in February, 1952—and no doubt the books and their future were among the subjects mentioned. In fact, it may be that Dr. Barrows offered to get in touch with Dr. Davies for her, because she had been quite ill and afterwards had a relapse... 1 8

Thus it appears that even if Barrows initially had other ideas about the destiny of the McCormick Korean texts, any inquiries Dr. Huff may have made in that direction must have come to naught sometime between September and December of 1951. If indeed Barrows acted as an agent on behalf of Mrs. McCormick, it seems that he only made the effort to inform Pomona College of her intentions upon his opportune encounter with Dr. Davies on 10 January 1952. That encounter led Davies to succeed where Huff apparently failed.

In short, Davies took up Barrows' suggestion that the retreat at Warner's Ranch would offer the occasion to pay a visit to Mrs. McCormick. His letter of inquiry, dated 4 March 1952, reads:

General David P. Barrows has on several occasions mentioned to me the fine library which you have on Korea. I have been much interested in what he has had to say since we have here at the College a splendid library on China and the Orient in general.

I plan to spend next week end at Warner's Ranch and I wonder if it would be convenient for me to call on your home while I am there to see your library. If it is at all possible I should like also to bring my friend, Professor Ch'en Shou-yi, who is our professor of Chinese civilization and who is also much interested in Korea.

Mrs. McCormick responded immediately on 6 March and although she was at the time recovering from the flu, she invited Davies and Ch'en to visit at their conven­ience. Their first visit was clearly not as felicitous as Davies would have liked, for he wrote to Mrs. McCormick on 11 March to apologize for confronting her with a whole carload of people heading for Warner Springs. Professor Ch'en was apparently not among those who that night sought refuge from a storm at the McCormick ranch. Davies suggests that he bring Ch'en down to see the library sometime later after Mrs. McCormick had fully recovered her health. As became characteristic of his letters to Mrs. McCormick thereafter, Davies ended his note of 11 March by paying tribute to the idyllic setting of the ranch.

It was not until the second week of April that Mrs. McCormick invited Davies and Ch'en for the day. The visit took place on Friday, 11 April. The success of that encounter is reflected in Davies' letter of the following Monday, 14 April, for he reveals that he spoke to President E. Wilson Lyon about "your intention to make the library a memorial to your husband." It is obvious from Mrs. McCor-mick's response dated 21 April that the visit ten days earlier had been as delightful for her as it had been for Davies and Ch'en. Preparations for the transfer of the collection, she estimated, would require at least two months. It should be remembered, as President Lyon points out in The History of Pomona

Richard Rutt , in his re-edition of Gale's History of the Korean People, supplies an annotated list of texts that must have been in the former missionary's library. Most significantly, thirteen of the sixteen literary anthologies cited by Rutt are found in the MKC. Of considerable interest is also the fact that the owner's notes on such texts reflect not only the background in Korean studies Gale was recognized to possess, but also a comparable education in Western literature. There is, for example, the pencilled inscription "Robert Burns 1769-1796" on the cover of no. 108 Hwach'on chip, the collected works of a contemporary named Yi Chae (1745-1820). Similarly, "Coleridge 1772-1834" is written on the cover of no. 114 Kvongsan chip of Chong Won-yong (1783-1873) and "Wordsworth 1770-1830" appears on the covers of both no. 114 and no. 113 Unaok Sonsaene muniip of Yi Hui-bal (1768-1850). Burns, Coleridge, and Wordsworth were among the readings, according to Rutt, that a strict Scottish schoolmaster by the name of Sanderson assigned the young Gale as his pupi l . 2 2 Gale himself, however, reveals his debt to this schooling in his compilation of the History, for example, in his citation from Coleridge's "Kubla Khan." 2 3

Gale gathered together his outstanding library of Korean texts over the forty-year period he spent in Korea, from 1888 to 1928. Other collectors of Korean works active at the same time in Seoul were Asami Rintaro (1869-1943), Maema Kyosaku (1868-1942), and Imanishi Ryu (1875-1932), whose libraries are now housed at Berkeley, the Toyo Bunko, and Tenri Library, respectively. Gale was thought to have disposed of all but a few choice volumes when he retired from the mission on 31 August 1928. According to Rutt , most of Gale's Korean books went to the Library of Congress. 2 4 Yet his own research suggests that a large portion of the missionary's library can only be reconstructed on the basis of Gale's historical writings. Since the MKC seems to represent the basic core of this library, I would like to speculate briefly on how McCormick may have inherited it.

It seems highly unlikely that McCormick would not have become acquainted with Gale during his brief stay in Korea from 1907 to 1908. Missionary circles were an important source of information for journalists in Korea. As Rutt points out, it was at educational meetings such as those conducted by Gale that a number of the future leaders of Korea gathered. 2 5 Just as Gale befriended a number of political dissidents, McCormick surely made his share of similar contacts. The church most probably supplied some of his best informants. Another feature of the missionary community with which McCormick may have identified was its unswerving loyalty to Korea. From his earlier experience in the Soviet Union, McCormick was apparently already inclined to view the invader from the islands to the northeast as "The Menace of Japan," the very title of one of his books. Any association with Gale and company could not have but reinforced this sentiment, for as Rutt notes, Gale was as loyal to the Koreans as he was disenchanted with their Japanese overlords. 2 6 It is hoped that further research will reveal the extent to which Gale and McCormick shared in the same social network. One possible link may have been the Reverend William M Baird and his wife Annie L.A. Baird, friends of Gale. A second edition of Mrs. Baird's Daybreak in Korea is among the Western language texts in the Honnold Library general collection that bears McCormick's nameplate . 2 7

However well McCormick may have known the missionary-historian in Seoul, it seems doubtful that Gale passed any of his library to him directly. I suggest that it may have been through a nephew, Esson McDowell Gale (8 December 1884-15 May 1964) that McCormick acquired texts from the J. S. Gale Korean library. The

below). I have not seen the results of the UH survey. Dr. Hashimoto Mantaro, who had corresponded with me earlier on the MKC, informed me on 8 November 1981 that a colleague of his from the Institute for the Study of Languages and Cultures of Asia and Africa in Tokyo, Dr. Oye Takao, hoped to see the MKC on a visit to L.A. later that month. I met Dr. Oye here in Seattle and gave him a copy of the inventory I had prepared. How many other specialists in Korean studies have since used the collection I cannot say.

Los Angeles Times. Sunday, 23 November 1952, Part VII, p. 12: "Library Given Rare Literature on Far East." Another article with no dateline is found in the same issue, Part I, p. 32: "Pomona College Receives Korean Literature Gift." Both articles are in the file on the MKC of the Special Collections Department at Honnold.

Fang Chaoying 1969:v, in identifying the Asami collection as the largest of its kind in the U.S., remarks: "Other notable collections are the Frederick McCormick collection at the Honnold Library at Claremont College, the Rockhill collection at the Library of Congress, and the Yale collection assembled by Asakawa." According to a note in the Special Collections file addressed to Dr. R. J. Bernard from the Librarian of Honnold, Dr. Davies, dated 12 January 1961, a Mr. Feng (sic) of the University of California "spent several days in the library examining the collection. He said the books were extremely valuable, and that some of them were unique." Dr. Rob­ert J. Bernard served as President of the Claremont Colleges from 1 July 1959 until February 1963 (Lyon 1977:524, 529) and, when managing director, accompanied Davies and Ch'en to the McCormick Ranch, according to a note by Davies to Mrs. Mary C. Duyvendak, dated 12 January 1959. Other than the reference in his preface with regard to the MKC, Fang Chaoying does not to my knowledge make any further note of this library in his study of the Asami collection.

According to Mrs. Armstrong, McCormick had been acquainted with George Armstrong Custer's (5 December 1839-25 June 1876) widow, Elizabeth Bacon Custer (1842-1933) , who apparently devoted the rest of her life to the memory of her husband.

The Los Angeles Times. Sunday, 23 November 1952, Part VII, p. 12, erroneous­ly gives his age on 10 August 1951 as eighty.

According to Mrs. Armstrong, an older brother named Will did not survive. A sister named Grace apparently remained with her mother. Accompanying Frederick to the children's home was his younger brother Howard who later established himself as an artist in New York following study in Paris financed by a wealthy patron. His papers are in the Albert R. Mann Library at Cornell University.
