Description:Excerpt from Papers and Proceedings, 1920 In 1915 Dr. Richardson took office as President of the American Library Institute. He gave himself to the task of breathing life into the organization and to finding for it a career not already pre-empted by other associations of librarians. In a very short time he framed a policy and outlined a program of action. As stated in its Constitution, the object of the Institute is "to provide for study and discussion of library problems." Dr. Richardson's policy was to interpret this phrase as "study and discussion in the field of library science," and relate it more especially to the research side of library activity. There are, he said, "two well recognized fields, one covering the practical or technological aspect of libraries, the other the scientific aspect of research and higher education, - one covered by the American Library Association, the other uncovered and open to the American Library Institute or a new association. The American Library Association stands for library economy, or library technology, or applied library science; the American Library Institute might stand for library science as science, and for learning, but learning, of course, as to the most useful as well as ornamental library matters." His program was to set on foot at once the study and discussion of fundamental subjects as "the encouragement of research, book publication, and higher education in the field of library science, and the promotion of libraries of learning." The field of the Institute thus became in his words, "learned libraries and learning in library matters." During the three years of his administration Dr. Richardson has carried out this policy and program with brilliant results. Some of these results have been shown conspicuously in the animated discussions which have characterized the meetings of the Institute since 1915, in the interesting and valuable papers presented, and in the two splendid volumes of printed Papers and Proceedings which make every serious library worker Dr. Richardson's debtor.
