A most enthusiastic reunion of the alumni of the Illinois State Library
School was held at Waukesha on July 5, in connection with the meeting of
the A. L. A.
Forty-seven members of the Alumni Association sat down to a long table
which had been spread for them in the dining-room of the Fountain Spring
House, where a very pleasant hour was passed in renewing old friendships
and hearing about the work of classmates who had gone out to make
themselves famous in the library world.
Following the dinner a business meeting was held, after which the
members listened to a most interesting report by Miss Katharine L.
Sharp, director of the Illinois State Library School, on the growth and
present condition of the school, showing the changes which have come to
it from its connection with the University of Illinois.
Miss Sharp gave an outline of each course as it is now given in the
school, noting the changes which have been made and the reasons for
these changes. The report was of especial interest to the early
graduates of the school, who could follow the changes made in the course
of instruction, the general development in scope and methods, and could
so well comprehend the great growth of the school since its
establishment at Armour Institute of Technology, in Chicago, in 1893.
