    Abstract
    The experience of the British Classification Research Group (CRG) suggests that a good general scheme could be compiled by integrating specialist schemes. Examples are given from the 1990 revision of class J Education of the Bliss Bibliographic Classification. Sequences in arrays may need adjustment to suit different needs, but a general, or "Ur-Classification" will provide a reservoir of terms for specialist schemes, while the special schemes provide detailed analysis and emuneration by experts in each field. A fraction of money spent on new library buildings would enable the compilation of such a general scheme, which could well be based on the BC2 edition of Bliss B.C.

    Abstract
    The elements that comprise 'style' in creative writing are directly applicable to librarians, in the choice of books and periodicals, and in the process of cataloguing and classification to make them accessible to users. By the selection and arrangement of their stock librarians reveal professional accounts of the culture they have inherited and are endeavouring to pass on to future generations. Illustrates the discussion with particular reference to the life and career of Dr. John Henry Pyle Pafford, Librarian at London University, and in particular to his views on the development of general classification schemes, such as the DDC and BC, and the work of the CRG. Concludes by noting his work in the fields of education, national and international library cooperation, and as Library-Keeper of the University
