Cornell Law Library Annual Report 1933

May 9th, 1933.

To Charles K. Burdick, Dean, Cornell Law School, Ithaca, Hew York.

Sir; I have the honor to submit for your consideration the annual report of the Cornell Law Library for the year ending May 9th, 1933.

This completes our first year in our new quarters in Myron Taylor Hall.

He were confronted last summer

with the task of moving fche books from our old quarters in Boardoan Hall, and this was accomplished very success­ fully through the preparations made and the fine coopera­ tion of the Faculty and of the group of law students who helped.

I wish to pay special tribute to Professor

Lyman P. Wilson, who was instrumental in the success of the whole problem, for his fine work in dispatching the books from our old quarters and for his very kind and generous help throughout the whole oourse of moving, and mention should also be made of the fine arrangement and exoellent work of Lewis W. Morse in receiving the books and allocating them in our new building.
