The library has a new lighted display case containing the recent contribution of the Ferry family. Included in the case are six ancient Greek, Roman and Etrucan pottery pieces, dating from centuries before the Christian Era. They range in date from about 1400-1300 B.C. to about 300 B.C. and they are described as vases, Epichysis, and stirrup jar.   Peter, class of 1975 and his wife, Lily, donated the pieces and the case to display them.

The library began subscription to a new data base, CIAO,  (Columbia International Affairs On-Line). The service helps students understand global issues and is particularly useful for the Model U.N. program and the Debate Club, as well as the contemporary history courses.
