Have Sold 10,000 of Nolen's Books

With spirited bidding on every number, 10,000 volumes from the library of the late W. W. Nolen 'S4, affectionately known as "the Widow" to generations of Harvard undergraduates, have been sold this week in the auction rooms of William K. MacKay in Boston.

The largest price brought by any single volume so far was that of $70 for Lyon's "Colonial Furniture of New England" from Mr. Nolen's famous collection of books on old silver, china, and furniture. A bid of $1.25 took a collection of photographs of instructions and buildings of Harvard College, and several old volumes of the Harvard Lampoon, bound in half morocco went for fifty cents.
