Htmt Memorial gift. In memory of the late Mrs. Mary Hunt (B.S.
inL.S., 1946), her friends and associates in the Libraries have con¬
tributed funds for the acquisition of the Gehenna Press edition of
William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus. This splendid folio,
printed in 1973, is illustrated with etchings and wood engravings
by Leonard Baskin, and is one of 150 copies signed by the artist
and bound in marbled paper and quarter leather.

Lamont gift. In the February, 1974, issue of the Columns, we re¬
corded the gift by Dr, Corliss Lamont (Ph.D., 1932) of the manu¬
script and drawings for Rockwell Kent's The Golden Chain: A
Fairy Story. Dr. Lamont has now added to this earlier gift a copy
of the scarce, privately printed edition of this work, issued by
Kent on March 2, 1922. Although it is believed that eight copies
were printed, only one other copy is recorded. The copy in the
Lamont gift comes from Kent's library and, by its charred spine,
bears evidence of the fire that destroyed much of the artist's home
in Au Sable Forks, New York, in the spring of 1969.

Dr. Lamont has also presented a group of seven first editions of
works by John Masefield, John Drinkwater, St. John G. Ervine
and Gilbert Murray, all of which bear warm personal inscriptions
from the authors to Dr. Lamont's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
W. Lamont, and brother, Thomas S. Lamont, often referring to
family occasions and celebrations. The copy of Gilbert Murray's
translation of Frometheus Bound, published in London in 1931
is inscribed, "Florence Lamont with memories of Athens from
G.M., Nov. 26, 193 I." The reference is to a trip to Greece in the
spring of 1931 which the Lamonts made in company with Gilbert
Murray, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Lipmann and Mr. and Mrs. John
Masefield.
