Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bibliographical Society of America Proceedings and Papers, Vol. 1: Part One, 1904-1905
Mr. Thomson's paper gave rise to an interesting discussion, in the course of which the sentiment developed that the bet ter plan would be for the Chicago society to go on a year or two longer and issue a couple of creditable publications, thereby proving its reason for existence, and drawing more non-resident members to its ranks. At the moment when these outnumber the resident members it would be in order to change the name and organization of the society, and en large its plans and held of work. It was voted, however, that a committee of these resident members be appointed to consider Mr. Thomson's suggestions and report at a similar meeting, to be held in connection with the next conference of the American Library Association. The committee was ap pointed, and at a meeting held at the Magnolia conference of the American Library Association, June 18, 1902, this committee rendered a report, of which the following is a summary.
