Established in 1995 by Patricia P. and Richard W. Couper ’44, this fund’s original purpose was to allow the College Librarian to obtain rare and esoteric materials, the purchase of which would not be possible without the support of the fund. With the College’s agreement, in 2004 the Coupers decided to broaden the scope of this fund also include providing for enhancements to the Burke Library.

This fund was established through a trust established in 1964 by Paull Franklin Baum, Class of 1909.

In June 1990, the family of Richard A. Atkins, Class of 1929, established this book fund with gifts made in his memory, and enhanced by a provision in his Will.

This fund was established by the Class of 1936 in memory of Robert J. Durkee, a member of that class who passed away a year after graduation.
