LAW LIBRARY CORNELL LAW SCHOOL REPORT FOR 1945-46 We are happy to resuiae more nearly normal con dition s in the Law Library with the ending o f World War I I .
Speolal tribu te i s owed to Mise Betty P rio r,
our very able A ssistant Law Librarian fo r her very care fu l and con scien tiou s administration o f the Law Library during the war while our s t a ff was depleted during the absence o f the Librarian and the Head Cataloger, Miss Mildred V. Coe.
There were extraordinary duties imposed
upon Miss P rio r because o f the many adm inistrative tasks which confronted her.
She ca rried on nearly s in g le -
handedly during these war years in a very cred ita b le manner.
We owe a great debt to her fo r th is accomplishÂ
ment. Our s t a ff returned to i t s pre-war strength when on the f i r s t o f November 1945 the Librarian returned from h is a ctiv e duties since 16 July 1942 with the Judge Advocate G eneral's Department o f the Ariay o f the United S tates, and when on 1 February 1946 Mildred V. Coe, Head Cataloger, returned to our s t a ff from a ctiv e duties since August 1942 in the Library o f the Judge Advocate General's O ffice in Washington, D.C. where she gave ou tstanding service.
