[QUOTE="New York Tribune, post: 3348644, member: 36458"] Page A9 [size=5]NYU adds new library[/size] [i]Callista Dare, Associated Press[/i] An anonymous donor has provided New York University with funds and the beginnings of a collection for a new library, the university reported today. Until a new building can be built, the Andrew Forsythe Collection will be housed at the Anthropology department’s new annex in Manhattan. Staff of the university have expressed excitement over the new addition to the university’s collections. The collection, which contains Gnostic texts, copies of Sanskrit and Aramaic texts, Zorastrian and Kabalistic texts, and some medieval grimories among other texts, is officially an esoteric and occult collection, at the request of the donor. Several departments at the university are understandably excited by this new collection. “The collection opens up many new and exciting research opportunities for our undergraduate and graduate students,” said Dr. Alisa McConaway, a professor of Anthropology and Linguistics. McConaway has been named to the review board that will be making new selections for the collection and is on the committee that will be approving designs for the new library annex to house the collection. The donor, McConaway told the Tribune, was very specific about some things regarding the collection. The building was to be in a style reminiscent of 1920s Midwest architecture and all additions to the collection are to be of an occult or esoteric nature. There is some discussion of exhibitions being attached to the collection. The collection will be funded by an ongoing grant for at least the next five years, to be renewed after that, McConaway said. There is some evidence that several committee members know the identity of the donor, but none have been willing to reveal the name of the shadowy figure. “Most of what we’ve been authorized by the donor to say is in the press release the university put out,” said committee member Dr. RA Reed, a professor of liberal studies. “Beyond that, all I can say is that the collection is named in the memory of one of the donor’s relatives. He met a tragic end and that’s impelled the collection’s donor to give back to the city that was home for a time.” Word has reached the Associated Press of similar donations being made anonymously to a state university in Michigan, Grand Valley State, as well as to UCLA’s library. “We’re aware of those donations,” McConaway said when asked about the other two collections of the same name. “In fact, the donor has stipulated that there will be interlibrary loan privileges between the universities where the collection is concerned.” No one at UCLA or Grand Valley were available for comment at press time. NYU's Anthropology annex is located on 106th street near 3rd Avenue. [/QUOTE]
