A Silver Anniversary: The first 25 years of the Kenneth Spencer Research Library

This catalogue of exhibitions mounted to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Kenneth Spencer Research Library recalls Helen Foresman Spencer and the countless others who helped build this great library at the crest of Mount Oread, and provides us with an occasion to thank them anew. Their dedication to learning and, in many instances, perseverance in the face of adversity speak eloquently to the commitment of the University of Kansas to support advanced study and research with collections of original records of human experience.
