Announcing the Van Sinderen Book Collecting Prize

December 8, 2014

In 1957, Adrian Van Sinderen (YC 1910) established two book collecting prizes—one for seniors and one for sophomores—in order to encourage undergraduates to collect books, build their own libraries, and read for pleasure and education.

More information, including instructions and the application form, is available here.
