Our Growing Collections                           37

Grimm gift. Mr. Peter Grimm (A.B., 1911) has added a num¬
ber of useful volumes recently, including early 19th-century
editions of works by William Coxe, Oliver Cromwell, John
Milton, Thucydides, and Horace Walpole.

Hayes gift. A collection of greatest interest and importance has
come as the gift of Mrs. Carlton J. H. Hayes. The gift com¬
prises the manuscripts, notes, and papers of her late distin¬
guished husband (A.B., 1904; A.M., 1905; Ph.D., 1909; Litt.D.,
1929). Use of most of the papers is unrestricted, but those relat¬
ing to the war years, 1942-45, when Professor Hayes served
as Ambassador to Spain, may not be used without Mrs. Hayes's
written permission.

Hofstadter gift. Professor Richard Hofstadter (A.M., 1938;
Ph.D., 1942) has presented the manuscript of his recently pub¬
lished book. The Paranoid Style in American Politics, New
York, Knopf, 1965.

Holden gift. Mrs. Arthur C. Holden has recently undertaken
to build at Columbia a collection of the worlis of Winslow
Homer, as they were published in Harper's Weekly from 1857
to 1874. With the help of an agent, she has already acquired a
goodly number of the prints, all suitably mounted for display.
In due course, Mrs. Flolden expects to make the collection
complete.

In addition, Mrs. Holden has presented a number of portraits
and other memorabilia of Mark Twain, these too being taken
from various issues of Harper's Weekly.

International Affairs Library gift. Over 300,000 monographs,
periodicals (issues) and newspapers (issues) have been received
at the Libraries since the beginning of Columbia's participation
in the Public Law 480 Programs, administered by the Library
