New Accessions: February and March 2009

Posted on by

The fol­low­ing mate­ri­als were acces­sioned in Feb­ru­ary and March this year. As always, any­one inter­ested in addi­tional infor­ma­tion about the new mate­ri­als should con­tact the library through our gen­eral email account

Among the new acces­sions to the Uni­ver­sity Archives is an issue of Old Nas­sau (pic­tured below), which was likely the per­sonal copy of Jimmy Stew­art ’32 (acces­sion num­ber AR.2009016). Fol­low­ing his death in 1997, Stewart’s estate donated a large num­ber of the actor’s books to the Friends of the Bev­erly Hills Library to be sold in their used book store. The wife of Ken­neth Gold­man ’64, a vol­un­teer at the book store, spot­ted the vol­ume and pur­chased it for her husband.

Ken­neth Gold­man donated the book to the Uni­ver­sity Archives this spring. Published in 1905, the lim­ited edi­tion book tells the story of Princeton’s anthem. It includes an auto­bi­og­ra­phy of Karl Lan­glotz (com­poser of the music for Old Nas­sau); bio­graph­i­cal infor­ma­tion about Har­lan Page Peck, Class of 1862 (author of the song’s lyrics); var­i­ous musi­cal arrange­ments for the song; as well as infor­ma­tion about Prince­ton in the years 1858 through 1862. The pages below show Peck’s lyrics, which were first pub­lished in the Nas­sau Lit­er­ary Mag­a­zine in 1859.
