RARE BOOKS TO GO ON EXHIBIT SOON

To Continue in Treasure Room Until Spring Recess--Contributions to be Welcomed

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

From April 1 to the Spring vacation the Widener Treasure Room will be devoted to an exhibit of rare books owned by undergraduates. This exhibit is being administered by the John Barnard Associates, an organization formed last month in memory of John Barnard, 1700. When in the eighteenth century the college library burned down, this public spirited clergyman who was a resident of Marblehead contributed his entire collection of books to start the new library.

This new organization has appointed F. V. Field '27 chairman of a committee of three to pass on books and arrange the exhibition.

The exhibit is open to all undergraduates, and students willing to have their rare books or pieces of special printing exhibited should communicate with anyone on the committee. This should be done as early as possible so that a list can be made of the possible volumes and select the ones which will be shown.
