Endowed Library Funds
Charles W. and Margaret Simpson David (1935) Book Fund
Designated for the purchase of materials in Bibliography and Medieval Studies.
Established by a gift from Margaret Simpson David, Class of 1935, in memory of her husband. Margaret Simpson David ran the Owl Bookshop for many years. Upon her death, the fund was broadened to include her. Her son George and other friends continue to contribute to this fund in her memory.
Grace and Theodore de Laguna Fund
Designated for the purchase of materials for the general collection, with a preference for those that represent major new intellectual works.
Originally established by an anonymous gift as a, "Fund for the Philosophy Department in honor of Theodore and Grace de Laguna." In 1977, the donor requested the name change and a more specific designation of purpose. Additions to this fund were made by the Class of 1927 at its 50th Reunion. Grace de Laguna was a member of the ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï Faculty from 1907-1944; her husband, Theodore de Laguna, from 1907 to 1930; and their daughter, Frederica de Laguna, Class of 1927, was a member of the Anthropology Department from 1938 until her retirement in 1975.
