Excerpt from The Library and Society: Reprints of Papers and Addresses
It may be desirable to repeat here the warning that the word classics in the title of this series is to be understood as meaning early and standard expressions of ideas that have later developed into prominence. The papers and addresses in this volume have been chosen especially with this in view, and as they emphasize social relations an effort has been made to include expressions from men of eminence whose names would not probably occur 'to the student of library economy as having ex pressed an opinion about the work of libraries or as having influenced it in any permanent way.
I desire to acknowledge the kindly assistance ren dered in the selection and grouping of the articles by Mrs. Gertrude Gilbert Drury, chief instructor in the St. Louis Library School. It has been most valuable.
