Addressed to Sister Vincent Ferrer (1931-2020, noted Roman Catholic educator and theologian, president of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Indiana 1984-98). "It has now been six years since I last took your course in world politics," writes a former pupil, "but I hope I can presume to send you this from Eleanor Roosevelt's collection, which was sold this fall. It was so exciting to see and be able to buy the books and even more comforting to find that hundreds of other people felt the same way. .
