	Cutter Expansive Classification
		Charles Ammi Cutter (1837-1903), inspired by the decimal classification of his contemporary Melvil Dewey, originally developed his own classification scheme for the collections of the Boston Athenaeum, which he served as librarian for two dozen years.
		The Cutter classification, although adopted by comparatively few libraries, mostly in New England, has been called one of the most logical and scholarly of American classifications.
		It did not catch on as did Dewey's system because Cutter died before it was completely finished, making no provision for the kind of development necessary as the bounds of knowledge expanded and scholarly emphases changed throughout the 20th century.

		Charles Ammi Cutter had a vested interest in Alexander Rudolph's invention: He was negotiating with Rudolph's company for the use of his nearly completed classification system.
		Cutter liked it because it gave the patron "the satisfaction of seeing many titles at the same time, and did not compel them to pick over the cards one by one to find the desired title." For a variety of reasons, however, the Indexer never caught on.
