From The Collection Of Charles Francis Saunders Although Not Marked As Such. Per Wikipedia, Sydney Bancroft Mitchell ( 1878 - 1951) Was A Canadian Librarian, Teacher And Gardener, Though He Spent Most Of His Career In The United States. He Was Named One Of The One Hundred Most Important Leaders In Library Science By The American Libraries Journal In 1999. Sydney Mitchell Was Much More Than A Librarian And More Than The Founder Of One Of The First Masters In Library Science Degree Programs In The Early Part Of The Twentieth Century. His Love Of His Hobby, Gardening, Motivated Him To Advocate The Importance Of Not Focusing Only On One'S Career. He Is Remembered In The Field Of Horticulture Just As Much As In The Profession Of Librarianship. Mitchell Began His Work In California At Stanford University. He Moved To The University Of California, Berkeley In 1911 To Head The Purchasing Department For The University Library. During World War I He Was Acting Librarian At The University. In 1924, He Was Named Department Chair, The First Director For That Department. Three Years Later He Was Named Director Of The School Of Librarianship. He Served In That Capacity Where, In 1926, He Founded The Nation'S Third Graduate Program In Library Science West Of The Mississippi. He Was Named Dean Of The University In 1944 And Held The Office Until His Retirement Two Years Later. A Lifelong Love Of The Iris Flower, In Addition To His Presidency With The California Horticultural Society, Provided Him The Editorship Of Sunset And Authorship Of Four Books On Gardening. Mitchell Helped Organize The American Iris Society, Whose Sydney B. Mitchell Medal, The Highest Award For Pacific Coast Irises, Is Named For Him, And The American Fuchsia Society.
