The giit, announced by Grinnell , College President Glenn Leggett, consists chieily at a great variety of first editions in addition tot volumes with a special emphasis on history. The rarest item,t valued at $3,000, is a iirst edition oi Thomas DeQuincy‘s “Cone iessions oi an English Opium Eater.” Grinnell will receive all the volumes in the collection except for the relatively small number oi medical books which Dr. Pinne bequeated to the library or the Univeisity oi Nebraska College at Medicine at Omaha. Henry Alden, Grinnell librarian who iirst became acquainted with Dr. Pinne and this remarkable library some live years ago, says he expects the collection will not be fully catalogued betore this tall. However, he plans an exhibition at some oi the best items during the Commencement-Alumni Reunion Weekend activities here May 23-31. A group oi the volumes is to be exhibited at the Omaha Public Library in May. Among the rare first editions are John Locke’s “Essay on Human Understanding," Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations,” Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick,” Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom's Cabin," Henry David Thoreau's “Walden,” Nathaniel Hawthorne’s ‘The Scarlet Letter," Walt Whitman‘s “Leaves oi Grass,“ Victor Hugo's “Hernani,” Charles Dickens' ”David Cop- perfield,” and Charles Darwin’s “Origin of Species,” The collection also embraces some “fine press" books, in- eluding a Kelmseolt Press “Chaucer,” and three incunabula (books printed before 1501). There are a tow manuscript items, too, one at them being a postcard on which Queen Victoria wrote the inscription she wanted on the tombstone of her devoted Scottish servant, John Brown. While the unusally valuable items in the collection will be given special care, Alden says, many oi the books will be readily available ior regular use by students. unusual lecture at this show was the manual slide change. Mr. Brown changed the slides to the music its he saw fit, tene dering each show unlike any other. The music that accompanied the shows was or iairly uni- formly good quality, mostly romantic. The slides them- selves were of consistently good quality, every one a prize win» her. The Combination of the two was always tasteful. never inappropriate, and more than good enough to hold the View er's attention for the mere fortyethree minutes the show lasted. The ilrst sequence of slides, entitled “Flower Fantasy” and accompanied by Deb uss y 's f‘Reveries," was easily the most engaging. From the very first slide the screen was filled with the diaphanous patterns of the small parts of ilowers oi many types. Sophisticated use of selected locus had insured that only a small part of each slitle was sharp, thus creating ti pattern almost abstract in its Coloriul beauty. The slides fol- lowed the changes in the music 'very closely, making use oi variations in Color values, light, depth of iicld, and Care- rully controlled line quality.
