462 History of Medical Practice in Illinoisthe annual announcement for 1896, there is the first notice that the collegeowns "a reference library of several hundred volumes for the use of students,"this library owing its foundation to "the gift to the college of thelibrary of the late Professor A. Reeves Jackson" to which "has been addedlargely from time to time by contributions from members of the Facultyand other friends of the College."Much valuable supplementary information about the beginnings of thelibrary of the College of Physicians and Surgeons can be garnered from thestudent publication of those days, known as The Plexus. In its first issuein 1895, the students expressed appreciation for the efforts of Dr. BayardHolmes toward the establishment of libraries in connection with medicalschools, and especially for his work in building up a library at the Collegeof Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago. Strongly supporting the effort ofDr. Holmes is the thought-provoking essay on "The Man of One Book" byDr. Quine in the same issue.In the forefront of those who continued making valuable gifts to thelibrary was Dr. Quine. In 1898, he contributed a large collection of booksconsisting of 2000 periodicals and 200 separate volumes. He also endowedthe library atthis period with three hundred dollars annually and paidthe librarian out of his own pocket.The annual college catalogue of 1898-99 announced that the library"has been formally named by the Faculty the Quine Library as a mark ofappreciation of the numerous and valuable additions made to it by theDean of the Medical School and of his services to medical education. ProfessorQuine has ensured its permanency and continuous growth."5. Bio-Medical Library of the University of Chicago.— \X. is probablysafe to assume that the nucleus of the Bio-Medical Library was formed byassembling the books on biology in the "old" University of Chicago 15the time of the reorganization in a new university, which opened its doorson October 1, 1892. At that time the Library was located in Room 8-B ofCobb Hall. In January 1893, the Library moved temporarily into the Gymnasiumin Hutchinson Court. At this time the books which were foundsuitable for use of departmental libraries were so assigned, and accordinglythe Biology Library came into being in Science Hall. The AdministrativeBoard of Libraries, Laboratories and Museums ruled that each departmentallibrary was to have "two attendants selected from the GraduateScholars and Fellows of the Department," each to serve "the library twohours a day in arranging and cataloging old and new books, and in doingother necessary work connected with the library." The annual registerof the University of Chicago in that year listed Frank R. Lillie and A. D.15 Driver, Ben C: Personal communication, Jan. 21, 1952, from the librarian of theBio-Medical Library of the University of Chicago, with enclosed annual reports to 1900.at
Medical Libraries i)i Illinois Preceding 1900 463Mead as library attendants. It also recorded that the Biology Library contained"a series of models and charts relating to embryological topics,"and that it had "both monographs and periodicals" and that "the representationof current literature is particularly complete."In 1896, the libraries of the several biological departments were movedto the Zoology Building. At the end of the fiscal year 1898, the combinedBiology Library had 7200 volumes and its Reading Room accommodated24 readers.Privately Endowed Medical Libraries1. Columbus Memorial Library — At about the time of the great ColumbianExposition in Chicago, Mr. Henry Jewett Furber erected a pretentiousoffice structure known asthe Columbus Memorial Building opposite theMarshall Field Department Store on State Street. That building in the1890's housed the offices of the elite of Chicago's medical profession. Whenthe establishment of a medical laboratory in the building was proposed toMr. Furber, he entered into the project with enthusiasm and lent the enterpriseaid. Thus, the Columbus Medical Laboratory was founded in 1893.It may be assumed that the Columbus Memorial Library was part of theColumbus Medical Laboratory and that it had its start at the same time(1893), but it is not known whether the library was on the budget of thatorganization or whether it represented in part, at least, the personal bookcollections of its staff members, among whom were Drs. Adolph Gehrmann,William M. Harsha, John A. Wesener, William A. Evans and LudvigHektoen. The statement that Mr. Furber assisted the laboratory financiallyand that, after it was closed, he donated the Columbus Memorial Libraryto the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois, would indicatethat he held ownership in it.2. Newberry Library — Mr. Walter Loomis Newberry, a successful businessman and financier, was a founder in 1841 of the Young Men's LibraryAssociation which was the forerunner of the Chicago Public Library. Hisinterest in its affairs probably influenced him in providing in his will forthe Newberry Library. Thus far no printed history of the Newberry Libraryexists, 16 but according to the proceedings of the trustees of the NewberryLibrary, the story of the origin of its medical department is detailed in thefollowing quotation: 17 "There never has existed in Chicago a medicalreference library of any importance, and many fruitless attempts have beenmade to supply this essential need of the profession."
