RARE COLLECTION OF ODD FIRST EDITIONS ON VIEW IN WIDENER

The John Barnard Associates' exhibit of books, which will be on view in the Treasure Room of the Widener Library until the spring vacation opens this morning. The exhibit should prove of great interest to undergraduates, for it is composed of a widely varied collection of books ranging from "Alice in Wonderland" to Chaucer, and including first editions, special impressions and many interesting autographs.

Aside from the autographed volumes on exhibit, there is a whole case of letters, written by such people as Florence Nightingale, Horace Walpole, Max Muller, John Stuart Mille. Bulwer Lyton, John Tyndell, John Drinkwater, E. A. Robinson and Donald MacMillan.

The whole collection has been assembled from words owned by students and should prove of particular interest. All the cases in the Treasure Room have been turned over to this exhibit and it is probable that a similar one, composed of works owned by the faculty, will be shown after the spring vacation.
