Max Zorn's Collection Evaluated for Swain Hall Library

Darrell Haile contacted me last week about several boxes of books donated to IU by the family of mathematician Max Zorn. There are a few really nice items here; we have already replaced a missing copy of an AMS Colloq. Pub. v. 28, Whyburn's "Analytic Topology". There are some excellent and unusual books in this bunch and we're working on getting them added to our collection. Hats off to Professors Haile and Zorn - your efforts have made Swain Hall a better research library.
