STUDENTS TO SHOW RARE BIBLIOPHILIA

A collection of books, all of which are being contributed by students and which will contain some of the rarest editions and finest pieces of printing ever gathered together into an exhibit here, will be shown in the Treasure Room by the John Barnard Associates next week.

Among the many volumes that will be exhibited, there will be priceless first editions, autographed volumes, limited editions, and specimens of some of the finest work that has ever come from the press. This is the first exhibit ever held here which is composed solely of volumes owned by students.

Among the exhibits that will probably attract the most interest are original parts from Dickens' "Pickwick Papers," and "Christmas Books" and an inkwell, which he used. There will be two volumes printed by the Kelmscott press, that of William Morris's, which holds the reputation of having produced some of the world's finest printing. The one is "Reynard the Fox" and the other an edition of Chauncer illustrated by Edward Burne-Jones

Long List of Rarities

There will also be first edition of John Gay's "Beggars' Opera," "Polly," and "Trivia," Beckford's "Vathek," a Thackery's "Vanity Fair," with a suppressed plate, Oscar Wilde's first French edition of, Salome with an inscription giving it to Degas, and "Lord Chesterfield's Letters." These are merely a few of the first editions that will be shown.

Among letters and manuscripts, there are a letter by Ruper Brooke; a manuscript of Arthur Symonds; pamphlets of the Earl of Rochester, the abridged editions of which were not allowed in this country; and original pamphlets of Ryron's. "Don Juan," "Mazeppa," and "Manfred." A volume which should be of interest to everyone is a first presentation edition of "When We Were Very Young," signed by the author and Christopher Robin with letters from both and signed photographs of Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooth.

The exact opening date of the exhibition will be announced in a few days
