Agent Will Go to Europe for Books

German books for Harvard's libraries will be the objective of Paul Mueller, manager of Schoenhof's when he boards the plane to Europe on August 30. Authorized by the University to buy only books published in 1947. Mueller's purchases will bring all collections more up to date.

Letters written in Russian, English, and French showing him to be the University's agent, are among the many documents be must carry. With War Department permission to remain in Germany only 14 days, Mueller does not yet know whether he will get a chance to use his Russian letter and visit Leipzig in the Russian zone.

This trip to Europe will be Mueller's first since the war and will give him a chance to revisit Vienna where he ran a bookstore for 14 years. He hopes to reestablish contacts in Austria and Germany which will be able to supply Schoenhof's in Cambridge with the latest works.
