chairmen and deans for their
suggestions.

"For the first time we'll have a
good and adequate selection of
nursing books," he said, pointing
out that a section of the store will be
devoted to nursing. Other sections
will be used for books by Duke
authors, for new releases, for
instructional and office supplies and
for a mail order department.
Comfortable furniture will be
available to encourage browsing.

for Continuing Education in the

on the ground level of the Mudd
