Title	[Library administrators view the Catalog of the Stars by seventeenth-century astronomer Johannes Hevelius, October 1971]
Description	These library executives were in a happy mood as they viewed the "Catalog of the Stars" by seventeenth-century astronomer Johannes Hevelius, a valuable manuscript that was the millionth volume added to the library in October, 1971. From left to right are Chad Flake, curator of special collections; Donald K. Nelson, director of libraries; Donald T. Schmidt, assistant director of libraries; and A. Dean Larsen, assistant director for collection development. Special activities to mark the acquisition of the millionth volume included a forum assembly in the Fieldhouse on October 28, at which Dr. Arthur Henry King was speaker; a luncheon for persons who helped with the purchase of the manuscript; a lecture on the work; a panel discussion; and a display of the volume in the library. The volume is one of hundreds of valuable collections in the library.
