Coolidge '87 has given several reproductions of Albrecht Durer's wood-cuts, including "The Apocalypse," "Large and Small Passions," and "Life of the Virgin." Professor Coolidge has also donated a copy of Anton Springer's "Albrecht Durer."
A drawing by Vernet, an etching by Boissieu, and a rare book entitled "Tableaux de l'Histoire Romaine," have been given by Miss Simmons.
