¾¨Ó㴫ý has received a copy of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, a 60-volume reference work.
 "This is a work which makes superlatives superfluous," writes a columnist for the New York Times. "Running 11 feet along the shelf and weighing in at a healthy defensive end's 280 pounds, the D.N.B.'s 60 volumes contain 60,000 pages and some 60 million words. More than 10,000 contributors have written a total of 54,922 essays on the worthies (as well as the worthless) who make up the fabric of British history."
 "I am pleased to report that ¾¨Ó㴫ý's copy of this work was delivered and will be appearing on the shelves in the reference room of McGill Library shortly," said Molly Spinney, head librarian at ¾¨Ó㴫ý.
 For more information, contact Spinney at (724) 946-7323 or e-mail mspinney@westminster.edu.
