ThL' newly renovated l lonnokl building has provided a fitting impetus [ or thinking about other invigorating projects and possibilities. In fact, concurrent with the Honnold project, Libraries staff also worked on rd ining the Libraries mission statement so that it now reads as follows:
TbeLibrariesare partners toitb TheClaremontCollouc « in learning, teaching, and research. We are committed Iu fostering intellectual discover)', criticattbin hing, andlife- long learning. Accordingly. tbe Libraries lie our academic comnnutity lu raricd cultural and scbolarly traditions ~ y cffcri ng user- centered services, hili/ ding collections. d(, i. elojJing iunoratioe technologies, and prot. iding ( 111 int: iling em- ironmentJill' study, collaboration. and reflection.
Just as the renovation project was the result of a partnership between the Libraries and other Colleges staff, fulfilling the premise of the mission statement will also require collaboration, In this case, much of what we w ill be able to accomplish depends upon o ur own efforts hut also upon the cooperation and assistance of faculty, For the past several mo nths, we have been thinking about how we can improve o ur services: one result of those deliberations is a Strategic Plan ( sec htrp : livoxlilJris. c1aremonr. eduigeninfo / rnission/ stratcgicplan. html) that will serve as our decision- making guide for the next se\' L'ral years. In this column, I want to focus on only one goal trom the Plan-" Integrate library information resources and se rv ices w ith acauemic program planning at each of The Colleges,"
\ X'hy do we think that w orking on intcgr. ulng our resources with :. tcadel1lic programming planning is so imp ortant? It is because we arc not confident that our collections and scrvice-, align closely enough with academir pro grams at each co llege. \ Xle have anecdotal evidence that they may not, but we have no mechanism for determin ing if this is true. The importance
or ensuring that library rcso urrcs ~ 1I't ' consistent with the offerings of The Colleges is evident lrom the significant financial investment each Co llege makes in the Libraries. one of several unit.... of the Claremont University Consortium .

150 Letters and ~ OO Speeches
New in S~ ecial Collections
A letter arrived in Special Collections recently followed Il)' a phone l · : I! 1. " Would you like to have 150 letters from jerry voorhis?" Would we indeed! The Jerry Voorhis Collection. in Special Collections, contains materials documenting the activities. political, ed ucational and personal, of Horace Jeremiah Voorhis.
Educat or and Congressman Horace Jeremiah Voorhis was born April 6, 1901, in Ott awa, Kansas, and died September 11, 1984, in Claremont, California. Eight years before his death, he began transferring his voluminous files to Honnold Library. Regular transfers continued until his final illness. The major porti on of the material dates from 1919 to 19H' 1.
After graduating from Yale in 1923, Voorhis worked in a factory, a freight yard , and on an assembly line. He then began a teaching career, which eventually brought him to Claremont in
1'-) 27 to found the Voorhis School fur Boys. Ilc served as headmaster and teacher at the school until its clos ure in 1938, From 1936 to 1946, Voorhis was the Congressman from California's 12th District, which included the Claremont area . In Co ng ress, he was appointed a member of IhL' Dies Committee on un- Arncrican acuvuies. following his defeat hy Richard Nixon in \ 9i G, Voorhis turned his e nergy to the Cooperative Leagu e of America, serving as president and later as executive director.
' 111e 150 letters, actually 156 letters, from Voorhis were addressed to Emily McCormack. Mrs. McCormack worked part- time for Jerry Voorhis and, as she put it, he was " a full- time friend." The first letter is dated 1969 and the last o ne 19& i, the year of his death. The letters are full of
political comments, humorous asides, and the exchange of news between old friends.

Kerry Karukstis and Gerald Van Heeke, Professors of Chemistry, Harvey Mudd College Chemistry Connections: The Chemistry of Everyday Phenomena
The world around us and inside us is one of chemicals and their interactions - everything from the mundane to the sublime
to the ridiculous. Indeed, few subjects are more relevant to such a broad array of areas than chemistry. Go to the pantry, medicine cabinet or closet, look around the house and the backyard, watch a movie, or simply open your wallet with
any of these quotidian things you can come up with questions whose answers are based in chemistry. How do timereleased
cold capsules work? Why should chlorine be added to swimming pools in the evening instead of the morning? Why doesn't water relieve the fire in the mouth after one has eaten chili peppers? How do scratch and sniff ads work? Why did Dorothy have to oil the Tinman? How does a bullet proof vest work? What is the dollar bill really made of? Exploring the answers to these and hundreds of other questions, Kerry Karukstis and Gerald Van Hecke, both professors at Harvey Mudd College, have tried to make student and lay person alike more aware of the basic chemical nature of the world with their book, CHEMISTRY CONNECTIONS: THE CHEMISTRY OF EVERYDAY PHENOMENA, published in 2000 by Harcourt/ Academic Press. For their lecture, they will distill for us the essence of their fascinating chemical explorations.

Nancy Neiman Auerbach, Associate Professor of Politics and Economics, Scripps College Commanding the Heights: Financial Reform in Comparative Perspective
In countries such as Mexico, the transition to financial liberalization beginning in the 1980s was accompanied byeconomiccrisisanddeclining
growthrates, whilein othercountriessuchasSouth KoreaandHongKong thesamepolicywasassociatedwithhighgrowthratesand
arelatively moreequitabledistributionofincome. Whatexactlymakessimilareconomics and politics work differently in different countries? To determine the answer to this question, Nancy Neiman Auerbach, Associate Professor of Politics and Economics at Scripps College, thought it best to take an interdisciplinary approach, simultaneously
exploring issues of policy formation and economic performance, the former often considered the exclusive realm of political scientists and the latter of economists. The result was the book STATES, BANKS, AND MARKETS: MEXICO'S PATH TO FINANCIAL liBERALIZATION IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE, published by Westview Press in 2001. In her lecture, Professor Neiman Auerbach will explain how her research not only illustrates a common trajectory from state- led, to bank- dominated, and finally to market- oriented, financial markets among newly industrializing countries; it also suggests important differences in the economic performance and pace of financial reform both within and between stages of development. Both descriptive
and prescriptive, Neiman Auerbach's work shows how a country needs to select its own particular brand of reform.
UJednesdav. April 11. 1.: 15 pm
Jeffrey D. Groves, Professor of English and Chair of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Harvey Mudd College The History of " The History of the Book:" Charting the Progress of a Young Discipline.
Over the last two decades, " the history of the book" ( or" print culture studies," as it is also known) has emerged asan exciting
and dynamic way of understanding how literacy and print have shaped the contours of modern human cultures. Focusing on the interrelations of authorship, reading, and publishing, book historians have already produced a large body of scholarship, founded a thriving professional society, and established a scholarly annual, BOOK HISTORY. Several large, collaborative
research projects are now underway that will result in multi- volume works that survey the history of the book in different countries. Jeff Groves, Professor of English at Harvey Mudd College, is in the thick of these developments and in this lecture will utilize several strands of his current research and editorial work as a way to chart the progress of this young discipline. He is currently co- editing a book history textbook, PERSPECTIVES ON AMERICAN BOOK HISTORY ( with Scott E. Casper and Joanne D. Chaison; forthcoming, University of Massachusetts Press, 2002), which will include a CD- ROM" image archive." In add ition, he is co- editor of volume three of the five- volume A HISTORY OF THE BOOK IN AMERICA ( with Scott E. Casper, Stephen Nissenbaum, and Michael Winship; forthcoming, Cambridge University Press and the American Antiquarian Society, 2004). Groves isalso at work on a scholarly monograph that examines the relationship of literary canon formation to publisher promotion and advertising in the mid- nineteenth century United States.

Just as the renovation project was the result of a partnership between the Libraries and other Colleges staff, fulfilling the premise of the mission statement will also require collaboration, In this case, much of what we w ill be able to accomplish depends upon o ur own efforts hut also upon the cooperation and assistance of faculty, For the past several mo nths, we have been thinking about how we can improve o ur services: one result of those deliberations is a Strategic Plan ( sec htrp : livoxlilJris. c1aremonr. eduigeninfo / rnission/ stratcgicplan. html) that will serve as our decision- making guide for the next se\' L'ral years.

It is because we arc not confident that our collections and scrvice-, align closely enough with academir pro grams at each co llege. \ Xle have anecdotal evidence that they may not, but we have no mechanism for determin ing if this is true.

" Would you like to have 150 letters from jerry voorhis?" Would we indeed! The Jerry Voorhis Collection. in Special Collections, contains materials documenting the activities. political, ed ucational and personal, of Horace Jeremiah Voorhis. Educat or and Congressman Horace Jeremiah Voorhis was born April 6, 1901, in Ott awa, Kansas, and died September 11, 1984, in Claremont, California. Eight years before his death, he began transferring his voluminous files to Honnold Library. Regular transfers continued until his final illness. The major porti on of the material dates from 1919 to 19H' 1. After graduating from Yale in 1923, Voorhis worked in a factory, a freight yard , and on an assembly line. He then began a teaching career, which eventually brought him to Claremont in 1'-) 27 to found the Voorhis School fur Boys. Ilc served as headmaster and teacher at the school until its clos ure in 1938, From 1936 to 1946, Voorhis was the Congressman from California's 12th District, which included the Claremont area . In Co ng ress, he was appointed a member of IhL' Dies Committee on un- Arncrican acuvuies. following his defeat hy Richard Nixon in \ 9i G, Voorhis turned his e nergy to the Cooperative Leagu e of America, serving as president and later as executive director. ' 111e 150 letters, actually 156 letters, from Voorhis were addressed to Emily McCormack. Mrs. McCormack worked part- time for Jerry Voorhis and, as she put it, he was " a full- time friend." The first letter is dated 1969 and the last o ne 19& i, the year of his death. The letters are full of political comments, humorous asides, and the exchange of news between old friends. The University Club of Claremont Through the efforts of Professor 0: icholas Polos, the University Club of Claremont has given Special Collections over 100 audiotapes containing speeches given at Cluh meetings between 19t51 and 1'-) l)( i.

Indeed, few subjects are more relevant to such a broad array of areas than chemistry. Go to the pantry, medicine cabinet or closet, look around the house and the backyard, watch a movie, or simply open your wallet with any of these quotidian things you can come up with questions whose answers are based in chemistry. How do timereleased cold capsules work? Why should chlorine be added to swimming pools in the evening instead of the morning? Why doesn't water relieve the fire in the mouth after one has eaten chili peppers? How do scratch and sniff ads work? Why did Dorothy have to oil the Tinman? How does a bullet proof vest work? What is the dollar bill really made of? Exploring the answers to these and hundreds of other questions, Kerry Karukstis and Gerald Van Hecke, both professors at Harvey Mudd College, have tried to make student and lay person alike more aware of the basic chemical nature of the world with their book, CHEMISTRY CONNECTIONS: THE CHEMISTRY OF EVERYDAY PHENOMENA, published in 2000 by Harcourt/ Academic Press. For their lecture, they will distill for us the essence of their fascinating chemical explorations. mondaV. march l. 1.: 15 pm Nancy Neiman Auerbach, Associate Professor of Politics and Economics, Scripps College Commanding the Heights: Financial Reform in Comparative Perspective In countries such as Mexico, the transition to financial liberalization beginning in the 1980s was accompanied byeconomiccrisisanddeclining growthrates, whilein othercountriessuchasSouth KoreaandHongKong thesamepolicywasassociatedwithhighgrowthratesand arelatively moreequitabledistributionofincome. Whatexactlymakessimilareconomics and politics work differently in different countries? To determine the answer to this question, Nancy Neiman Auerbach, Associate Professor of Politics and Economics at Scripps College, thought it best to take an interdisciplinary approach, simultaneously exploring issues of policy formation and economic performance, the former often considered the exclusive realm of political scientists and the latter of economists. The result was the book STATES, BANKS, AND MARKETS: MEXICO'S PATH TO FINANCIAL liBERALIZATION IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE, published by Westview Press in 2001. In her lecture, Professor Neiman Auerbach will explain how her research not only illustrates a common trajectory from state- led, to bank- dominated, and finally to market- oriented, financial markets among newly industrializing countries; it also suggests important differences in the economic performance and pace of financial reform both within and between stages of development. Both descriptive and prescriptive, Neiman Auerbach's work shows how a country needs to select its own particular brand of reform. UJednesdav. April 11. 1.: 15 pm Jeffrey D. Groves, Professor of English and Chair of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Harvey Mudd College The History of " The History of the Book:" Charting the Progress of a Young Discipline. Over the last two decades, " the history of the book" ( or" print culture studies," as it is also known) has emerged asan exciting and dynamic way of understanding how literacy and print have shaped the contours of modern human cultures. Focusing on the interrelations of authorship, reading, and publishing, book historians have already produced a large body of scholarship, founded a thriving professional society, and established a scholarly annual, BOOK HISTORY. Several large, collaborative research projects are now underway that will result in multi- volume works that survey the history of the book in different countries. Jeff Groves, Professor of English at Harvey Mudd College, is in the thick of these developments and in this lecture will utilize several strands of his current research and editorial work as a way to chart the progress of this young discipline. He is currently co- editing a book history textbook, PERSPECTIVES ON AMERICAN BOOK HISTORY ( with Scott E. Casper and Joanne D. Chaison; forthcoming, University of Massachusetts Press, 2002), which will include a CD- ROM" image archive." In add ition, he is co- editor of volume three of the five- volume A HISTORY OF THE BOOK IN AMERICA ( with Scott E. Casper, Stephen Nissenbaum, and Michael Winship; forthcoming, Cambridge University Press and the American Antiquarian Society, 2004). Groves isalso at work on a scholarly monograph that examines the relationship of literary canon formation to publisher promotion and advertising in the mid- nineteenth century United States.
