In honor of his 50th class reunion in 2015, John E. Rogers, Jr. ’65 gave the very personal gift of his collection of 134 first editions and related cultural materials to Special Collections. Rogers started collecting books shortly after graduation and throughout his years as an English professor. Included with the gift, is his essay on the serendipitous joy of finding unique titles in bookshops throughout England and Italy and welcoming them into his own library.
All books in the Rogers collection have the creator "Pforzheimer Bruce Rogers Collection (Library of Congress)," which can be found under "Creator" in MUSCAT Plus.
