resident director of this school was at first Miss Mary E.
Hazeltine of Jamestown; later, and up to the present time, Miss Mary E.
Downey, of the Utah State Library. The growth of public libraries
throughout the country has made this school very popular among young
women seeking the profession of librarian.

Some voices new to Chautauqua were heard from the Amphitheater platform
in 1901, such as Dr. O. P. Gifford of the Baptist Church, Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson, Mrs. L. Ormiston Chant of England, a descendant
of the great Edmund Burke, we were informed, and the Governor of New
York, Hon. Benjamin B. Odell. Mr. Joseph Jefferson, whom all the world
of that generation knew as "Rip Van Winkle," gave a lecture showing the
relations of the lecture platform and the stage. Rev. John McNeill,
whose speech showed that he came from the north of the Tweed, preached a

speaker on Recognition Day was Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews of the
University of Nebraska, on the subject, "Problems of Greater America."

The season of 1902 was noteworthy from a visit of Bishop Vincent. It

conferences all over Europe, in many languages through interpreters, and
for several years had been absent from Chautauqua. We of the older
generation always missed his presence, but to the younger troop of
Chautauquans his was only a revered name. The Vincent whom they knew,
and packed the Amphitheater to hear, was the Director George E. Vincent,
the man at the wheel of Chautauqua. This year the announcement was made
that the Chancellor was coming, and a royal welcome was prepared. A
printed account of this event reads as follows:

Arriving at Lakewood, the Bishop was met by
members of his family, and the Board of Trustees.
After the welcome greetings, the party took a
special steamer for Chautauqua. At the Pier a
