Jane Grey Rogers
Library Director 1906 - 1928
Miss Jane Grey Rogers was appointed as the first
full time librarian in 1906, and she served until her death in 1928. When she
died, she was eulogized in the New Orleans Medical and Surgical
Journal with the following words:
For over twenty years she
presided over the Library of the School of Medicine and during this period she not
only discharged her duties as librarian with distinguished ability and fidelity,
but entered into her functions with a rare and altruistic conception of her
service; not merely as a dispenser of knowledge and a mentor in the use of books,
but as the friend of the students, solicitously concerned in every movement
and enterprise that tended to their scholastic uplist and to their personal
and collective betterment...The New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal counts
among its editors and collaborators, past and present, many who cherish the
memory of this noble woman for her inspiring friendship, her helpfulness, her
unfailing sympathy and encouragement during their most anxious and struggling
student days.

and Surgical Journal 81 (6):442-443, Dec. 1928.
