Scholar and educator John J. Meng, former president of Hunter College in New York, gave to Georgetown his papers and library of a thousand volumes on diplomatic history, political science, and literature. The gift includes some of the papers of the Indian scholar Taraknath Das, and a complete set of the poetry magazine Spirit.

Fine Printing

It is a pleasure to report several additions to the library's growing collection of fine printing. Mrs. Patricia G. England, a Library Associates trustee, donated a group of fifty-six fine items, including examples of the work of the Allen Press, the Ashendene Press, Will Bradley, Frederic W. Goudy, and many others. In Mrs. England's gift are two major works by Bruce Rogers: the folio/miniature edition of Gulliver's Travels issued in 1950 by the Limited Editions Club, and the monumental edition of Stanley Morison's Fra Luca de Pacioli, published by the Grolier Club of New York in 1933.
