THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE
Dr. A.C. Breycha-Vauthier, renownded Librarian of the
United Nations Library at Geneva, and a member of our Board of
Directors since the inception of the Association, has been appointed
Ambassador of the Republic of Austria to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq
and Saudi Arabia, with official headquarters at the Austrian Embassy
B.P. 3924, at Beirut, Lebanon. We have his promise that he wiL keep
his interest in librarianship and in the affairs of our Association.
As he stated in his own words,
As Cardinal Tisserant once stated, he who has
been a librarian remains a librarian all his
life long.
There is a precedent - but much more famous:
my Austro-Belgian countryman, de Busbeoq, was
for many years Ambassador to Turkey and preserved
the peace at a very critical juncture of events
(1554-1562); after he returned, laden with precious
Eastern manuscripts, he became the Prefect of the
Imperial Library at Vienna. I am afraid that the
comparison has its limitations, and when I shall
return to Geneva to-take up teaching.at our Library
School again, it will be with excellent and precious
memories-but not with all the treasures of the East!
Anyhow, for the next few years, I'shall reside in
Beirut and please do not forget me when you come
that way. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you
again some time and, of course, I shall remain a
member of both the Swiss and Austrian Library
associations, and also be happy to continue to
assist both our International Association of Law
Libraries and the International Federation of
Library Associations.
For 35 years, Dr. Breycha-Vauthier guided the affairs of one
of the most outstanding libraries of modern times. I am sure that all
our members join me in extending our sincere congratilations to him.
His advice and cooperation will be of the 6ame importanc6 to us in the
future as it was in the past.
