the Friends to contribute more effectively toward making the DetroitPublic Library a better,a more resourceful and a more beautiful centerof knowledge and culture for all of the people of our community.Thedeeds of the three individuals exhibited differences which illustrate themany ways in which one can assist our Library.  \nHELEN C.BoWER was a charter member of the Friends and chairmanof its first Acquisitions Committee.She gave to the Friends hundredsof her own books,but Helen's greatest gift was always of herself.Shewas always willing to undertake any task which would benefit the Friendsand was a most effective and articulate exponent of its aims and ideals.  \nShe served for forty-seven years on the Detroit Free Press as reportereditorial and feature writer,theater critic,and for the last fourteen yearsas a movie critic.Struck by an automobile while crossing WoodwardAvenue on February 28,1964,and seriously injured,she was taken tothe Henry Ford Hospital where she died on December 23,I964.  \nSELDEN S.DICKINSON at the time of his death in Detroit December 8,I964,was a member of the Detroit law firm of Dickinson,Wright,McKean and Cudlip.He served on the first Board of Directors of theFriends and was a member of its Legacy Committee.Through his sug-gestion to a client,Joseph H.Flavell,the Friends received a gift of over$300,ooo under Mr.Flavell's will.A portion of this gift enabled theFriends to have a Centennial History of the Detroit Public Librarywritten,which will be ready later this year,and to commission the his-torical mural triptych executed by John S.Coppin in the Adam StrohmHall of the Main Library.  \nJoHN S.NEWBERRY,unlike the two preceding great members of theFriends,was a native Detroiter.He died in Paris,France,October 25,1964.He was a member of one of Detroit's old and distinguishedfamilies.While he served on the Board of Directors of the Friends,hebelongs in the classification of Great Friends because of the many notablegifts which he from time to time made through the Friends to theDetroit Public Library.The gifts he made were many and the followingrepresent only a few of the chief ones:an Aitken Bible,the first EnglishBible printed in this country,several manuscript Bibles,a fine collectionof Kate Greenaway materials,and a copy—the only known completeone—of Erasmus'Ryght Excellent Serman...of the Cbylde Jesus.  \n# WHAT CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS READ\n\nBy MINNIE DUBBS MILLBROOK*  \nN UNPRECEDENTED situation occurred whenthe
