Excerpt from The University of Pennsylvania Library Chronicle, Vol. 13: Issued Four Times a Year by and for the Friends of the Library of the University; March, 1945; Life of Robert Montgomery Bird, Written by His Wife, Mary Mayer Bird (Third Instalment) Being confined a great deal indoors, the time must have passed rather drearily, but the evenings were enlivened by music or a game of chess, in which he soon became proficient. There were some superior players in the house, and the chess board was regularly a source of entertainment. AS a general rule, Dr. Bird never fancied or indulged in games of chance or Skill; but this winter, unable to do much else, he, in this way, alleviated many a heavy hour, and was soon voted one of the most expert hands. Among the most frequent occupants of the board was a young couple, shortly to be united in marriage. Being rather excitable and proud of their skill, it was some times observed that interest in the game bid fair to over power the tenderness belonging to their mutual relations; and one evening, in an unusually long contest, the rivalry waxed so strong as to threaten a decided quarrel. At this crisis, when every move made more imminent the danger of a rupture, the table at which they were playing was Violently Shaken, as if by the awkwardness or inadvertence of some one rising hasti ly. Confusion reigned among knights and castles, bishops and royal personages, and the game, nearly finished, was ir retrievably broken up. But the storm was averted; and Dr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The University of Pennsylvania Library Chronicle, 1940, Vol. 8: Nos. 1 and 2-3 The Library has recently been enriched by the gift of the music library of the Philadelphia Art Alliance. This splendid collection will be welcomed and put to extensive use both by research workers in musicology and by the many students in undergraduate music courses at the University. This gift of the Board of Directors of the Art Alliance is particularly appreciated in the year of the University's bicentennial celebration. The collection consists of upwards of volumes Of musical literature and of scores. Blany of the books on music were originally in the library of James Crosby Brown, and include important and rare works in history of music and on musical instruments. The music scores include a large quantity of bound volumes of piano and vocal music, a number of vocal scores of operas, and an important addition to the University's collection of full orchestral scores. There is also a considerable collection Of chamber music in both scores and parts. Since the collection was formed some years ago, there is very little of the music of the last fifty years, but on the other hand the most important classic and romantic composers are very fully represented.

Book Description
Excerpt from The University of Pennsylvania Library Chronicle, 1944, Vol. 12 I have spoken so far of the tardiness with which Slavic studies took root in this country. A second serious obstacle for a rapid progress of Slavic scholarship in America was the lack of an organic and planned program. Too much was left to chance. Only acute crises generated financial support and promoted interest. The many, and brilliant, American achieve ments in the Slavic field were until recently primarily the work of a few enthusiasts, and less the result of a constructive policy on the part of American universities and colleges.
