Thor E. Wood *59

THOR E. WOOD, age 55, chief of the Performing Arts Research Ctr. of the N.Y. Public Library, died Apr. 28, 1988, at Beth Israel Hospital in N.Y.C. The crowning achievement of his professional life was the development of the Performing Arts Research Center to a position of international prestige under his guidance. Not only did he provide administrative leadership, but also, as both musicologist and librarian, he directed the growth of the four basic collections: dance, music, recorded sound archives, and the theater collection. A music major from Pomona College, master of library science from U.C.Berkeley, Mr. Wood was awarded the degree of master of fine arts in musicology at Princeton in 1959.

Belatedly we extend condolences to his widow, Ann, and his daughters Elizabeth and Frances.
