Arthur Young Tax Library

The Arthur Young Foundation and several Arthur Young partners and employees have given to Georgetown a substantial grant to be used for the purchase of books and journals needed by the students and faculty in our Masters of Science in Accounting Taxation program. The total grant, to be continued over a three-year period, will amount to $39,000. The first year's grant amounted to $18,850.

Kalina Collection

Dr. Anthony Kalina ('35 PhD FS) has been donating his extensive personal book collection to the library over the past few years. Reflecting his long teaching career and his research and publication interest in the country where he was born, the collection is strong in Czechoslovakian history, Slavic history and international affairs.

Biblioteca di Disegni

The library is pleased to announce the acquisition of one of the most outstanding art publications of recent years: the Biblioteca di Disegni in 28 volumes produced by the Institute Alinari in Florence, presented by Peter G. Schmidt (AB '57). The Biblioteca di Disegni includes more than 1,200 drawings in collotype reproduction. The plates, individually mounted on heavy paper, are contained in leather and silk bound portfolio boxes. The drawings were selected by an internation panel of experts as representative of the finest Italian artists of the 15th to the 18th centuries. The letterpress descriptions and introduction to each section were produced at the Stamperia Valdonega and are of a quality commensurate with the excellence of the collotype reproductions. The Biblioteca di Disegni was printed in an edition of 325 copies, and the Georgetown set is one of two in American libraries.

David Jones Lithograph

The President of the University, the Rev. Timothy S. Healy, S.J., recently donated to the library a handsome five color lithograph print by the Welsh artist-poet David Jones. Designed and printed as the ordination card for Peter Levi, S.J., it measures 7" x 22.5" and is an excellent example of the distinctive calligraphy of Jones. The lithograph joins a collection of twelve David Jones letters which were acquired several years ago with funds given by Father Healy.

The Flickers in Review

A recent gift from the Quigley Publishing Company (through Dr. Martin Quigley '34 AB) provides a unique collection for the study of American film. The gift consists of the company's working card file of reviews and citations of all films (shorts as well as features) which appeared in the Motion Picture Herald from 1920 to 1972. Dr. Quigley is a member of the Library Associates Board of Trustees.
