Reception and Exhibit

The Board of Trustees of the Library Associates opened the 1975-76 series of events with a reception on October 19 for members and their guests in the Howard W. Gunlocke Special Collections Room. On display was an exhibit honoring the Library's sesquicentennial. It featured books and manuscripts dating from 1479 to 1974.

Among the more outstanding items displayed for the Associates were Samuel Clemens' holograph manuscript of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; the Custis (Washington) family copy of the 1731 Catesby National History; first editions of More's Utopia (Leiden, 1516); Erasmus' edition of the New Testament (Basel, 1516); and the Dahlgren-Georgetown copy of the Shakespeare "First Folio" (London, 1623).
