BY DAN HAWKS

The Eggleston Library at
Hampden Sydney College has
acquired several books from the
personal. library of Archibald
Alexander, president of the Col
lege from 1897 to 1906.
Paul L. Grier, college librar-
ian. said that this came about
when he received a letter from
Mrs. John NJ Dunlap, Jr., of
Waynesboro, asking if the Col
lege would be interested in ac-
quiring the collection. Realizing
that the cost of this collection
would probably be extremely
high, Grier made the trip to
Waynesboro III a not to happy
frame of mind
When he arrived in Waynes-
boro he learned. much to his
dlSmay. that the libraries of the
University Of Virginia and Wash
ington and Lee University had
also been approached about ac-
curing the collection.
Mrs. Dunlap allowed Grier to
examine the collection closely,
and to choose those volumes that
would be most meaningful to
Hampden-Sydney. When this had
been completed, Griel found that
he had a stack of ten very old,

Fourth President Given To Library

and rare volumes.
What would the price Of such
collection be? Grier knew that
the library fund for such pur-
poses was very small. Know
ledge of this fact was the rea-
son for Grier's not too happy
frame of mind when he made
the trip. However. it seems that
every cloud has a silver lining
for Mrs. Dunalp presented the
books to Grier as a gift to the
College.
Grier returned to Hampden
Sydney in a much happier
frame of mind with his prize;
one Of the most valuable book
collections the college library
has yet to receive.
The Alexander Collection,
Grier pointed out. would not
have great monetary value
placed upon it by any library or
book dealer outside the State Of
Virginia The value OF this col
lection, he said, would be main
~ a sentimental value.
