HARPER & ROW TO REPRESENT SEABURY PRESS
Effective April 1, the Harper and Row religious department sales staff will represent all Seabury Press trade publications to booksellers and jobbers in the United States. This arrangement includes adult trade books, Seabury paperbacks, prayer books and hymnals, and the new line of books for children and young people that the firm is launching this summer. Certain house accounts are excluded from the arrangement with Harper and will continue to be handled by John A. Kelk, Jr., educational sales manager. Mr. Kelk will also directly handle sales of Seabury's Christian education publications, which are stocked primarily in stores dealing with the Episcopal Church market.
Seabury's over-all marketing policy is directed by C. Edgar Phreaner, Jr., vice-president and general manager. Lucy Holmes, promotion manager, will continue to be responsible for all advertising and publicity. Orders and related correspondence, inquiries and requests for promotional material, including co-op advertising, should still be directed to Seabury Press.
LICHTENBERGER LIBRARY TO BE BUILT
A new library to serve Bexley Hall, divinity school of Kenyon College, will be named in honor of former Presiding Bishop Lichtenberger President F. Edward Lund has announced.
Bishop Lichtenberger, a Kenyon alumnus, has also been honored with a doctor's degree from his alma mater.
The proposed library, which will be able to house 120,000 volumes, will serve the 55 students at Bexley Hall and will replace Colburn Library. The old library can not adequately house all the books that the school presently has.
