5 The documents in Box 132 are not dated but seem to have originated in the embryonic stage of the Bureau, roughly 1896–1897. They and an outline of a Bureau reorganization plan point to Rodríguez’ concern for the success of the Bureau and its library. His holograph will (Box 163) states that while a professor of philosophy at the University of Havana he took charge of the library there, so his experience qualified him here. He was the logical choice to administer the burgeoning collection.
