PRESIDENT'S REPORT.
The most noteworthy episode in the life of the Society during the past year has been the negotiation by your Committee of a lease of the Society's property on Eighth Street, for fifteen years, at an , annual rental of $Soo, to be paid in quarterly installments of $200 each, with a privilege of purchase under the terms of the lease at $30,000, $1,000 paid before delivery of the lease. Further details of this lease have heretofore been reported to the Executive Board, and are spread upon its minutes. -
The Society may congratulate itself upon having secured this lease of its property. It will be about two years before we shall be able to receive the benefit of the rentals, for the reason that in addition to some indebtedness of the Society, due to recent extraor- dinary expenditure, there is an unpaid balance on account of the original purchase of this property, and we shall also have to pay out of the rentals for the first two years the commission to the real estate agent who secured this lease.
Possession under this lease, which is to M. M. Robertson, was given on December Ist, of the present year, but the rental does not begin under the terms of the lease until January 1, 1903.
During the past summer the Law School of the Cincinnati College was compelled, on account of the tearing down of its old home on Walnut Street, to seek other quarters until its new building on Ninth Street, which is in course of erection, should have been finished. Thereupon there was offered to your President the oppor- tunity of returning a favor to the Cincinnati College. In the early seventies the Cincinnati College gave to our Society, for the use of its Library and Collections, five rooms in the upper story of the College Building, on Walnut Street, rent free. And so last summer, when the Law School of the Cincinnati College was turned out of its home, your President gave them the use of our former home on Garfield Place, subject to the condition that possession must be given as soon as we should have made sale or lease of the property. This return of hospitality was much appreciated by the Cincinnati College.
Our Library has now been one year in the Van Wormer Library Building under our contract with the Trustees of the University of Cincinnati, made in November, 1899. The experience of this year has confirmed the wisdom of that contract on the part of our Society.
II
Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio.
Our Library and Collections are now safely housed under better con- ditions as to light than ever before. Users of our Library who live down town, as well as those of us who attend the monthly meetings of the Society, perhaps find the Van Wormer Library not so con- venient as our old home in Garfield Place; but that consideration should not weigh against the advantages of our present home, and probably will, from year to year, become less noticeable as we become used to the new location.
It reflects credit both upon the Trustees of the University of Cincinnati and upon our Society that the past year has found simple and happy solution of many questions relating to our use of the Van Wormer Library, which, under less national and friendly consideration, might have become serious problems and sources of controversy.
Our Society will now, by better conditions of its housing and convenient arrangement of its Library, be able, as it has never been so able before, to discharge an important function of its chartered purpose, which consists not only in the collection of historical works, but also in the dissemination of knowledge relating thereto. And, while the identity and independence of our Society were never more distinct and complete than it is to-day, it is and should be a source of gratification to every one properly interested in the work of our Society, that its Library and Collections are now not only easily accessible to, but are in fact freely used by, a large body of students in a University founded and maintained, in part at least, by the same kind of generous interest in the education of our people which has contributed to the wonderful growth of our Society and the present value of its Library and Collections.
The present state of our finances permits us to keep our Library open but half the day. This limitation upon the usefulness of the Library is a serious inconvenience to all of us. A sufficient increase in the number of our corporate members would make it possible to double the usefulness of the Library, by making provision for keeping it open in the afternoon as well as in the morning. There never was a time in the history of our Society when so strong an appeal could be made to the public of Cincinnati for increased cor- porate membership. It is upon such support from such corporate membership that the Society has relied in the past. It should not lack equal confidence in the same source of support for the future.
JOSEPH WILBY, President.

For 1903.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
CINCINNATI, December 7, 1903.
With the ending of another year the librarian respectfully submits this, her eighteenth annual report. The accessions to the library have been as follows:
Bound volumes
363
Pamphlets
974
Volumes of manuscript
7
Manuscripts
18
Maps
3
The library row contains 17,450 bound volumes and 65,320 pamph- lets. The gain has come from 150 sources; the books purchased were 74 from the Appleton Fund, 3 from the Colonial Dames Fund and one from the General Fund, the other acquisitions were by gift, 82 coming from societies and institutions and 68 from individuals of whom 20 were members.
To-day the Society holds its third annual meeting in this room and ends its second year here. With the exception of the summer sea- son, regular monthly meetings of the Executive Board were held, and the usual routine business of the Society transacted. Our records for the year show we have received the average number of gifts, and an increase made in the number of books bought.
The most important manuscripts acquired were seven volumes pur- chased by the Society. They were formerly the property of John D. Caldwell, for many years one of our members. Three of them includ- ing a diary of Mr. Caldwell, a scrap book with a few letters concerning the memorial societies organized about the end of the war and a small record book are of but little value. A fourth book contains the minutes of the Home Guard of Cincinnati from the date of its organization, April 17, 1861 until May 23, 1861 at which time the organization ad- journed, subject to the call of the president. The final entry in the book is of February 10, 1862, and recites the turning over of the cash on hand to the United States Sanitary Commission. Another volume con-

tains the complete records of the Cincinnati Shooting Club No. 1. organized Jane 28, 1831, with Robert Buchanan as president and many prominent citizens as members. This record continues for about seven years to November 1838, and is of great interest. The final entry was made on December 9, 1863, twenty-five years after the last meeting of the club. It is in the hand writing of Mr. Buchanan, and recites the names and ages of the sixteen members surviving of the original forty- two. The most valuable of these books are two volumes, containing the complete minutes of the Cincinnati Pioneer Association, from the date of its organization November 23, 1856 to December 28, 1889. . These volumes contain the original signatures of several hundred of the pioneers of the city as well as a large number of memoranda concern- ing them.
An interesting manuscript sketch of the life of Mathias Denman, one of the first proprietors of Cincinnati has been given us by Mr. Charles T. Greve for whom it was written by perhaps the only surviv- ing descendant of Mathias Denman, David T. Denman of Coshocton, O.
A gift of legal papers, documents and several letters came from Nelson W. Evans, Esq., of Portsmouth, O. The dates are all in the early part of the last century, and the papers contain many names and signatures of men of note in this State.
A collection of photographs of old citizens of Cincinnati has re- cently been presented by Mr. Edwin F. Smith. These had been collected, marked and arranged in a portfolio by his father, Samuel S. Smith. Gifts of Ohio pictures are always desired whether of persons, buildings or localities. The rapid changes taking place in this city to-day are ob- literating many old land marks, it is hoped some one is thoughtful enough in preserving by means of photography views that may give as much pleasure to our people a generation hence as the water-color pictures of Third and Fourth streets in 1835 are giving visitors to the Historical rooms now.
Among the books bequeathed by Mrs. Margaret Rives King, a great improvement has been made in the condition and appearance of many of the valuable unbound sets, important pamphlets and books in bad order when they came to us by the attractive bindings that have been given them. This work is still in process and when completed the revenue from this bequest will be applied to increasing the King library by the purchase of new historical works.
A fitting accompaniment to this collection is a gift received this year of an admirable portrait of Hon. Rufus King, for whom the library was given as a memorial. The portrait was painted by Fedor Encke and presented to the society by Mrs. Bellamy Storer.
Early in the summer the recataloging of our books was be- gun by the University staff of catalogers; this work is in accord- ance with the agreement made between the two institutions. The Society has bought a new modern catalog case, and pays the Uni- versity library at the rate of two cents a card for the work done for us in cataloging. At the same time a duplicate set of cards is

made for the University, which will prove a great convenience to the students and others consulting the catalog down stairs. This work is steadily progressing, over three thousand cards are now in the case. The Dewey system of classification, and the dictionary catalog of arrangement of cards is used; this conforms to the method in use by the University.
The old house on Eighth street was finally left by us last spring; until that time we had retained the use of it as a store house for a large number of duplicate government documents and miscel- laneous old books and papers not suited to our collections. These were then disposed of; eleven sacks of government books were sent to the Superintendent of Documents at Washington; one hundred and sixteen volumes were given to the university library, the remaining old books were culled over by a second-hand dealer and such as he would take were sold to him, and finally what still remained were sold as old paper.
The custom of giving in our annual reports a definite number of books and pamphlets then in the library, while not an over statement of the Society's possessions, is more correctly an approximate estimate arrived at by the addition of each yearly accession to the number given the previous year, excluding often duplicates and other books not appro- priate as a permanent part of this library. In libraries with an ade- quate working force, it is usual at certain intervals by means of a shelf-list to prove the actual strength in their book departments; this means an amount of labor we cannot now give and for the present must pursue our old methods. The continued growth of the library without a corresponding increase in the funds to maintain it is a serious draw- back to the Society's usefulness; it is long since the library outgrew the service one person could render. There are innumerable things here now, such as manuscripts, pictures, maps, plats, newspapers, broadsides, etc., that are possible for no one but the librarian to make available to the historical worker who seeks for help from such sources.
At least one permanent assistant should be here who would become familiar with all these various collections which are apart from the bound volumes. The Society has a library of American History of which it may well be proud, and to those who have made it what it is our city owes a debt of gratitude; but there is still much work for the Society to do. To mention one instance: some slight exchange work in newspapers has been done this year with the Ohio State Library and the Cincinnati Public Library, but aside from this the co-operative work in exchange of duplicates that is now being extensively carried on among other libraries finds us inactive for want of help to do the work required. Only twodays ago a letter from our own State librarian asks for a list of our duplicate magazines, that this with other Ohio libraries may become a mutual help in an effort to complete the numer- ous broken sets of magazines scattered throughout the State. With our shelves in the upper stacks overflowing with duplicates, especially pamphlets and magazines, we are powerless to benefit others or be

benefited ourselves unless extra assistance is provided. Can we afford to take no part in this library progress? My part is done in presenting to you facts that tell of our needs. I am aware of the money it would require to enable the Society to rise to a higher plane of activity and usefulness, but this library is in the midst of a community where neither wealth nor intelligence are lacking, the reason and the remedy for the want of interest is a problem that wiser heads than mine must solve.
The Society has just been remembered again by a generous gift of money from Miss Jane C. Neave, the whole amount of which may be used at once for our necessary binding and repairs. Such kindly acts gives one hope and encouragement for the future.
