Excerpt from Williamsiana: A Bibliography of Pamphlets Books Relating to the History of Williams College, 1793-1911This attempt 'to bring together the titles of books and pamphlets including a few manuscripts and magazine articles dealing with Wil liams' college, was started in 1907 at the suggestion of Mr. James I. Wyer, to be submitted to the New York State Library School as the bibliographic thesis in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the B L. S. Degree.The catalogued and uncatalogued material in the Williams College Library forms the basis of the bibliography. It has been examined in detail. The Berkshire Athenaeum, Boston Public Library, Library of Congress, Massachusetts Historical Society Library, Massachusetts State Library, New York Public Library and the New York State Library have been searched for additional data. The subject readings under which the material is grouped. Are those indicated in Dewey's Decimal Classification in the section for colleges and universities.The incompleteness of the collection covered by this bibliography is apparent to no one more than it is to the compiler. But with this very fact in mind it is published that it may serve to indicate to persons seeking such information What printed matter is at hand regarding the various phases of Williams college. But, moreover, it is issued with the sincere hope that the collection will be made more nearly complete and be increased by gifts of publications of all kinds, class and alumni reports and other memorabilia, either in manuscript or in print, relating in any way to the college, its officers, alumni and students. It is intended that all such records shall be carefully pre served and systematically arranged in the College Library, in order that they may be available to the Alumni and to all who are interested in the history and life of the college.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
