Hemingway exhibit in library later this month

     Ernest Hemingway in His Time: An Exhibition" will be on display
in the Special Collections Exhibition Gallery of the Morris Library
from Aug. 25-Dec. 16.
     Drawn entirely from the library's extensive Hemingway collection,
the manuscripts on display will include the author's typescripts for
some of his best-known works, including the short stories, "A Clean
Well-lighted Place" and "The Happy Ending," which was later published
as The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Also on display is an 84-page section of
The Green Hills of Africa, Hemingway's account of big-game hunting,
and an untitled play later published under the title, The Fifth
Column.
     "Ernest Hemingway in His Time" was organized by Timothy Murray,
head, and L. Rebecca Johnson Melvin, associate librarian, both of
Special Collections.
     The comprehensive Morris Library collection houses all the first
editions of Hemingway's books, extensive holdings of variant and
subsequent editions; translations; contributions to books, anthologies
and periodicals;  manuscripts and correspondence; ephemera and
associated materials.
     The exhibition "brings to notice an important scholarly resource
for research and study of one of the most important figures of the
20th century," Susan Brynteson, director of libraries, said.
     An official opening for the exhibition will be held at 4:30 p.m.,
Tuesday, Oct. 10, in the Class of 1941 Lecture Room in the Morris
Library. Hemingway scholar Richard A. Davison, professor of English,
will speak at the event, which is open to the public by reservation.
     For further information, call 831-2231.
     Gallery hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday except for
Tuesday when the exhibition is open until 8 p.m.
