W IL L IS  W RIG H T D IES

W illis E . W right, 75, Williams C ollege librar­
ian and form er A C R L  president, died on O ctob er 
2 in Portola Valley, California. H e had served as 
lib ra r ia n  at W illia m s 
C o llege for tw enty-one 
years and after his re ­
tir e m e n t had b e g u n  a 
new  c a r e e r  as ra r e  
books cataloger at Stan­
ford U niversity L ib ra r­
ies.

B ill was an extraordi­
nary in d iv id u al and a 
rem arkable addition to 
our co m p an y  at S ta n ­
ford during the past ten 
years. H e started work 
in Sep tem ber 1969 as a 
cataloger of sixteenth-century imprints, American 
almanacs, and also early American imprints in the 
D epartm ent o f Special Collections. H e reduced 
his sch ed u le to p a rt-tim e  in 1974 b u t w orked 
until ju st the last few weeks before his death on 
cataloging o f th e m ost difficu lt im p rin ts, bo th 
monograph and serials and in a wide range of 
classical and m odern languages. During the en­
tire year 1 9 7 3 -7 4 , h e was c h ie f o f the D ep art­
m ent o f Special Collections.

A Phi B eta Kappa, W right was a graduate of 
W illiam s C ollege, m ajoring in philosophy, and 
re c e iv e d  his m a ster’s d eg ree from W illiam s in 
philosophy and G reek . He was a cataloger and 
c h ie f cataloger at the New York P ublic Library 
from 1927 to 1945, librarian of the Army Medical 
L ib r a r y  d u rin g  1 9 4 5 - 4 6 , and lib r a r ia n  for 
Williams from 1947 to 1968, when he ostensibly 
retired. Bill was president o f the Association of 
College and Research Libraries in 1 9 4 9 -5 0 , pres­
ident of the form er Cataloging and Classification 
Association, and recip ien t o f the M elvil Dewey 
Medal in 1957. In addition, from 1954 to 1967, 
he was chair of the Catalog Code Revision Com ­
m ittee and chair from 1947 to 1967 of the Union 
List of Serials Joint Com m ittee. O ne of his vari­
ous publications was a 1948 translation o f the Vat­
ican cataloging rules.

Perhaps B ill’s greatest achievem ent in special 
c o lle c tio n s  was c le a r in g  th e  b a c k lo g  o f u n ­
cataloged item s. In a le tte r o f May 2 8 , 1970, Bill 
says, “I love to put through books that have been 
sittin g  around for sev e nty -fiv e years o r so— it 
gives an impression of progress.” Bill also had the 
knack o f quickly identifying books th at lacked 
title  p ages o r in cip its. B ill was a re m a rk a b le  
friend and colleague.— D avid C. W eber.
