Librarians Honor Rudenstine
Harvard's library community honored outgoing Harvard President Neil L. Rudenstine at the May 23 Librarians' Assembly held in Sanders Theatre. The Assembly presented Rudenstine with a bound collection of bookplates from throughout the Harvard University Library system. The book itself was designed by Pamela Spitzmueller, the James W. Needham Chief Conservator for Special Collections. It is bound in dark green leather and incised with an abbreviated map of the old and new Harvard Yards. The map highlights Widener Library and Massachusetts Hall—thus emphasizing the strong connection between Harvard's president and Harvard's libraries.
