WORKS WELL PRESERVED
"An Exhibiton of Books and Papers
Relating to Dr. Benjamin Franklin"I
is the title of the exhibit now on dis-
play at the William L. Clements libra-
ry, the material of which is from the
collections of this library and also the
library of William Smith Mason.,
Franklin as a printer is emphasized1
in one section of the present exhibi-
tion. The bulletin describing it says
that "one may think of Franklin as a'
great diplomat, a great statesman, or
a great philosopher, but the biblio-
grapher may be forgiven for thinking
of him first as a great printer." Sev-;
the original letters lent to the libra ry.
for the exhlibit by Mr. :Mason. Each
is an autographed letter signed and
ill of them are remarkably well pre-
served.
The third division of the exhibit
takes up Franklin as a pamphleteer.
Franklin, being so involved in, and in-
formed about, the international polit-
ics of his. day, raturally wrote nany
pamphlets on these subjects as even'y-
one in his day was doing who wa.i in-
terested in these issues. Several of
these long titled pamphlets are shown
as examples of the work he did in this
line.
The bibliography and works of
Franklin are of such a large number
that it would be impossible to men-
tion more than a few, for the large
list of his works and their various
eral issues of the New England Cour- editions would require a treatise de-
ant which he printed are in the cases, voted to them alone. His "Autobio-
as well as other products of his press graphy" alone was printed in more
at Philadelphia. than 50 editions. This book is rep-
Franklin's manuscripts are repre- resented in the display along with
sented by several interesting letters quite a few copies of the most im-
to John Paul Jones, George Washing- 4 portant editions of the other works
ton, and Thomas Jefferson. These are in possession of the Clements library.

Appearing in recent issues of the
North American Review and the Se-
wanee Review, respectively, are ar-
ticles written by Dr. James K. Pol-
lock, Jr., and Dr. James Hart, both
of the political science department.
Dr. Pollock's article is entitled,
"The Seniority Rule in Congress" andj
is a description and a discussion of!
how committee promotions are made'
in the United States Senate and the
House of Representatives. He brings
out the fact that the rule most gen-
erally followed in promotions is that
one which delivers the position of
committee chairman to the person;
with longest service record on thatj
particular committee. He states that
this is th emost suitable rule used in
the practice of promotions.
Dr. Hart has written an article on
"Classical Statesmanship." He begins
the article with a definition of the
classical statesman as that type of
man who has made a major contribu-
tion to world history. He then lists
those men whom he considers the;
mom important men in United States
history ,and who form what he calls!
a "calander" in American history.
These men are Washington, Madison,
Hamilton, Marshall, Jefferson, Jack-
son, Clay, Lincoln, Cleveland, Roose-
velt and Wilson. As an example of!
a classical statesman, Dr. Hart selects
Woodrow Wilson and proceeds to dis-
cuss two main phases of his presi-
dency from that point of view. k

The first phase deals with the de-
velopment and passage of his legis-
lative program through Congress. Dr.
Hart then discusses the significance
of this act. As a second phase, he
considers Wilson as a world states-
man in the organizing of the League
of Nations. An interesting fact brought
out here by Dr. Hart, refers to an ar-
ticle written in 1887 by Woodrow Wil-
son in which he makes a prediction
of a league of nations, 32 years be-
fore he actually froms it himself. Dr.
Hart concludes the article by stating
that Wilson's place in world history
will be determined by his broad con-
tributions.
