In Memoriam

We note with great regret the death of longtime Library Advisory Council member and longtime friend of the library Maurice Adelman, Jr. (L'58). When he retired from Brooklyn to the more temperate delights of Savannah in 1994 Maury generously gave us his library, rich in early English Catholic history and literary first editions, particularly of Willa Cather and Msgr. Ronald Knox.

In recent years he had greatly increased the size of the endowment fund he established many years ago in the name of Blessed Margaret Pole, income from which goes to fund the continued collecting of early English Catholic materials, and a bequest from his estate will further enhance the endowment.

The library is very greatly in Maury's debt, and we shall miss him.
