HARLOW CITED

An honorary doctors degree was conferred 
upon Dean Neal Harlow o f the Rutgers Uni­
versity Graduate School o f Library Service at 
a library dedication convocation at Moravian 
College on October 19. The citation read in 
part as follows:

The distinguished career of M i. Harlow in the 
library profession has extended over a third of a 
century and has included his service to the Bancroft 
Library at the University of California at Berkeley, 
the California State Library, and the Library of the 
University of California at Los Angeles. Before coming 
to Rutgers in 1 9 6 1  Mr. Harlow was for a decade, 
head of the rapidly expanding library of the University 
of British Colum bia at Vancouver where he also laid 
the foundation for a new graduate library school.

A  past president of the Canadian Library Association, 
and of the Association o f College and Research 
Libraries, his influence has been felt through numerous 
library professional committees, International in scope 
as well as Canadian and American.

A  scholarly contributer to journals o f W e s t Coast 
history and author of a valued study of the early 
maps of San Francisco Bay, Mr. Harlow’s numerous 
articles on Librarianship reflect the rich background 
of administrative experience, scholarly research, critical 
thought, keen insight, and human understanding which 
he has brought to his special concern for the pro­
fessional education o f Librarians.

As librarian, as scholar and man of letters, and 
as leader in library education, I present Mr. Harlow 
for the degree of Doctor of Humanities.
