Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Books on Architecture and the Fine Arts in the Gordon Home Blackader Library and in the Library of McGill University The Blackader Library of Architecture was established in honour of Captain Gordon Home Blackader, a Bachelor of Architecture of McGill University, who on the outbreak of the War volunteered for overseas service, was given command of a Company in the 42nd Battalion of the Royal Highlanders of Canada, C.E.F., and, after serving valiantly in France, was wounded near Yprcs on June 2, 1916, and died in London on August 10th of the same year. The founding of this special collection by Captain Blackader's family and friends has begun to supply a definite need in the University Library and will provide a working collection of books on architecture and art for students as well as a reference library for architects in the city. Thanks are due to the following for contributions to the Blackader Library of Architecture: Dr. and Mrs. Alex. D. Blackader, Mr. W. B. Blackader, Miss Alice H. Blackader, Miss Helen B. Blackader, Mrs. ColinKemp, Mr. George H.Smithers, Dr. Francis McLennan, Senator J. S. McLennan, the late Lieut-Col. Bartlett McLennan, Dr.William Gardner, Mr. Lawrence Grant White, Mr. F. Cleveland Morgan, Mr. Ernest I. Barott, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Benson, Dr. F. D. Finley, Mrs. A. F. Gault, Mr. Hamilton Gault, Professor Ramsay Traquair, and John Hope & Company. This catalogue gives a classified list of the books on the shelves up to December 31, 1921. Subsequent lists will make available later additions. The arrangement of books under general subject headings was made by Professor Traquair of the Department of Architecture with the needs of his students particularly in mind, and does not, therefore, correspond in all details to the Library of Congress subject headings used in the Library Card Catalogue. The call numbers are those of the Modification of the Seventh Cutter Expansive Classication in use in the Library.
