Exhibits and Speakers

More than 200 Library Associates, Georgetown faculty, students and other distinguished guests attended the April 14 opening of our new exhibit, "This One Mad Act," which commemorated the 120th anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Dr. John K. Lattimer, M.D., an expert on the events surrounding the assassination, presented an informative lecture-slide program to an appreciative audience. A reception followed in the Galleria of the Intercultural Center. The exhibit reflected the Library's growing research resources in Lincoln studies, and has drawn attention from the local and national news media. A catalogue of the exhibit will be published in the near future. Associates wishing to receive copies should write or call the University Librarian.

Many friends of the Library also attended our fall '84 exhibition in honor of Graham Greene's 80th birthday: "From Newman to Greene: English Catholicism and Literature." On display were books, letters, and manuscripts of prominent English Roman Catholic authors of the last 150 years. The opening featured a lecture on Graham Greene by Professor Norman Sherry, Distinguished Professor of Literature at Trinity University, San Antonio, who is presently writing the official biography of Greene.

Associates are encouraged to attend our special programs and to visit the Library whenever they come to Georgetown. The University Librarian is pleased to meet and talk with members and the library staff is always happy to assist Associates in any way possible.
