{"value"=>"<p>Arranged alphabetically by topic. Correspondence, press clippings, pamphlets, programs and legal material relating to a variety of individuals, divisions, and concerns of The Library. Cadwalader's keen interest in The Library's print collection is well represented in material relating to exhibits and the Art Committee. Issues of funding and the search for a suitable music librarian attest to The Library's burgeoning Music Collection. Items include detailed explanations for the front statuary iconography for the Central Bulding (1913) and drafts for the attic statuary inscriptions (1905-1906). Cadwalader's concern with both individual employees and employee welfare is well represented. There are numerous files attesting to Cadwalader's intercession on an employee's behalf. Notably, proposals are made for cooperative employee housing (1911) and an employees' club (1911). The series is rounded out with an assortment of biographical sketches of deceased trustees for the minutes of the Executive of Trustees.</p>"}
