"LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE" TO BE PRESERVED IN TREASURE ROOM

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Widener Library is definitely "enlightened". In its Treasure Room, to which access may only be had with permission and from which books may not be taken, are shelves of musty first editions and valuable manuscripts.

Side by side are contemporary editions of Bunyan, Shakespeare, Bacon, Michelangelo, Livy, Nepos, Aristotle, Sophocles, and Harold Gray.
