VERNER CLAPP HONORED
News comes from Tokyo that Verner W. Clapp, LC’s chief assistant librarian in 1947- 56 and President of the Council on Library Resources in 1956-67, has been awarded an Order of the Sacred Treasure by the Government of Japan. The National Diet Librarian, Yoshikatsu Kono, presented Mr. Clapp with the magnificent gold and silver medal and the handsome scroll that accompanies the award in ceremonies at the NDL on November 12, while Mr. and Mrs. Clapp were guests of the NDL during their recent visit to Japan to attend the dedication ceremonies of the NDL. The Orders of the Sacred Treasure were instituted in eight classes in 1888 for men and women who have rendered “excellent services” to Japan. The honor was awarded to Mr. Clapp—now Consultant, Council on Library Resources, Inc.—in recognition of his contributions to the planning and development of the National Diet Library in 1947-48.
