f. Universities, galleries, etc., called merely Imperial, Royal, National and the like are not to be considered as having individual names, except the National Gallery of London.

g. Buildings are for the most part provided for in the above rules as museums, galleries, libraries, churches, etc. Any others should be entered under their names, with a reference from the city.

h. If a firm’s name is in the form Raphael Friedlander und Sohn it might be put as it reads, i. e., under R, or reversed, i. e., Friedlander und Sohn, Raphael. I prefer the latter, because the consulter is much more likely to remember the family than the Christian name. Whether the Christian name is written at the end or thus, Town (John) and Bowers (Henry), all firms should be arranged after all the other entries of the first family name, i. e., Friedlander und Sohn after all the Friedlanders. The same reason applies to other bodies whose legal name begins with a forename.

The plan might be tabulated thus:

Under name.Under place.
Churches not numbered and not named from the place.Churches numbered or otherwise named from the place.
Societies not local.Societies purely local.
English and American academies.Academies and universities of the European Continent and of South America.
Colleges, universities, libraries, galleries, museums, having an individual name.National or municipal colleges, libraries, galleries, museums, not having an individual name.
Private schools.Public schools.
Business firms and corporations.Municipal corporations.
London guilds (name of trade).State historical societies and State agricultural societies (name of state).
