Excerpt from New York State Library, Vol. 2: Library School Bulletin, June 1902-June 1905 Degrees and diplomas. The degree of b.l.s. Was conferred on Frank Hayden Whitmore of the class of 1901 and a diploma was issued to Ethel Garvin of 1898. Entrance requirements. The most important event of the year was the decision of the' faculty to require after Mar. 1, 1902, a degree from a registered college for admission to the school. This action was taken after long deliberation and knowing that it would shut out a few having good natural qualifications for library work. Any one with fitness for library work will do better service with than without a good college course. Previous requirements for admission, though giving us classes largely made up of college graduates, certainly encouraged some not to finish a college course who might easily have done so.
