and colleague fotmd this thirteenth copy in
excellent condition, pmrhased it, and has
donated it to the library for which he col¬
lected with unequalled passion and insight for
a great part of his professional career.

Augenfeld gift: An additional gift of letters,
photographs, drawings, and memorabilia of
Felix Augenfeld has been given to Avery
Librarv by his step-daughter, Trudy Jeremias.
Included in a recent exhibition on emigre
Viennese architects, Augenfeld is best known
as the designer of Sigmtmd Freud's office and
the Buttinger Library in New York City.
 

The collection includes handouts, leaflets,
and random correspondence that Friedman
collected and saved on a day-io-day basis from
February through May 1968. It provides an in¬
sight into the activities and ideals that shaped
that vital moment in C^ohunbia's history.
Among the approxinuttelv two hundred items
are the original manusci'ijjt and gallev proofs
for Up Against the Ivy Wall: A History of the
Columbia Crisis, by ferry L. Avorn and mem¬
bers of the Spectator. As interest in the history
of the late 1960s condnues to increase, this
gift complements and enhances our resources
and increases our ability Kj provide informa-
don to researchei's.
