Late last month, I received an e-mail with an unusual subject line: “1947 Commemorative 50th anniversary edition.”

The sender, Dick Burks of Van Zandt, Emrich & Cary Insurance, an agency in Louisville, Ky., wrote a simple message: “I have a copy of this, and was wondering if your office would like to have it.”

As it turns out, the library in NU's Hoboken, N.J. editorial office has our 100th anniversary edition from 1997, but not the 50th Anniversary, so I welcomed the gift.
