ANS LIBRARY ENDOWMENT DRIVE LAUNCHED

  John W. Adams writes: "Great News!!  The American
  Numismatic Society has accelerated its building schedule.
  We now plan to complete renovations of our new
  downtown location by September 30th and move in by year
  end.  What this means, in practical terms, is that the world's
  greatest Numismatic Library will soon become easily
  accessible.  For bibliophiles everywhere, the move represents
  a major milestone.

  In celebration of this event, the Library Committee has
  launched a drive to fund the Francis D. Campbell Library Chair.
  Frank, as many of you know, is our all-star librarian these past
  27 years; he combines encyclopedic knowledge with a rare
  service ethic.  We have two objectives:  1) to raise $2,000,000
  to endow the Librarian's position and 2) to reach out to a broad
  constituency to be symbolized by a minimum of 500 contributors.

  Where do the readers of E-Sylum fit in?  We want your money,
  of course, in large or in small amounts.  The 516 readers of The
  E-Sylum could by themselves fulfill our breadth objective.
  However, we also seek your support in spreading the gospel far
  and wide.  The A.N.S. Library is (or should be) to bibliophiles
  what the World Cup is to soccer fans.  We need your help
  in raising awareness of numismatic literature to a new level.

  Checks should be made payable to the American Numismatic
  Society and designated for the Francis D. Campbell Library
  Chair either on the check or in an accompanying note.

  Send to The American Numismatic Society, Broadway at
  155th St., New York, NY  10032.  For those who have an
  interest in playing a more active role, contact me at

  committee:
