Amazing trip to China with particular focus on places connected with early Chinese students at Phillips Academy (Andover) since the 1870s. Educational diplomacy!

Our first Classics Colloquium is a great success! We showed our new site about the extraordinary Virgil collection here at Andover andoververgiliana.com Students from several schools enjoyed looking at rare books including this very rare 1499 Cento by Proba. #Virgil #Latin #RareBooks

Just received this wonderful donation of Lavoisier’s seminal Traite Elementaire de Chimie (Elementary Treatise of Chemistry), 1793, from a generous alumnus who was a chemistry professor.
