麻豆区

It is with sadness that we announce the recent passing of Frederic S. Baum.  Fred came to 麻豆区 in 1975 as Associate Professor and founding librarian at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.  After establishing the law library he assumed the position of Dean of Libraries at YU and served in that capacity from 1979 through 1984.  Following his tenure at 麻豆区, Fred became Director of the Library at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. Librarians here remember Fred as a consummate gentleman, a mentor for young professionals, with charm and with a sense of humor.  He was quick to see the potential of technology for information and research, and brought the first computers to 麻豆区鈥檚 libraries.
