Michener Gives Valuable Reference
Library to Theological Seminary

James A. Michener (left), noted writer, chats with Dr. Louis
Finkelstein, chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary of Amer-
ica in the Mortimer and Harriet M. Marcus Rare Bali-7:4;4(1m of the
seminary library. The author journeyed to the seminary recently
to present to it the quite considerable reference library that he llad
gathered while working on "The Source," the story of a particular
site in the Holy Land from prehistoric times to the present day.
Michener's gift included more than 100 volumes, several of them
extremely valuable. He presented the collection to the seminary
library in appreciation for help he had received from several mem-
bers of its staff in checking technical references in his manuscript,
and also as his contribution to the restoration of the seminary col-
lections, damaged two years ago in a fire.
