GREENOUGH HONORED BY NEW LIBRARY ENDOWMENT

26 YEARS OF SERVICE AT HARVARD COMMEMORATED BY BEQUEST

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An endowment for the purchase of books for the Widener Library has been created by the contributions of friends of Professor C. N. Greenough '98 to be known as the "Chester Noyes Greenough Fund", it was announced yesterday.

The income of the endowment is preferably to be spent in acquiring volumes of English literature of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, periods with which Professor Greenough has been concerned in his courses at Harvard. The fund, established by more than 80 individual bequests, is to commemorate Professor Greenough's services as dean of Harvard College from 1921 to 1927.

From 1899 to 1907, Professor Greenough taught in the English Department of the University leaving at the end of that time to become Professor of English in the University of Illinois. In 1910, he returned to Harvard as Assistant Professor, and since 1915 has been Professor of English.
