Excerpt from Publications of the Clark University Library, Vol. 6: 1918-1922 I embrace this opportunity to thank the many friends who have given us such kindly assistance in forming our War Collection. As those who have made actual contributions to our poster and proclamation collection number nearly two hundred it is impossible to mention each one by name, but a careful record has been kept and the list may be published later. The heads of the various government bureaus have been most generous and have rendered all the aid in their power; while we have also received many a valuable item from some stranger who had heard we were preserving such things for historical purposes. We extend, therefore, to every one who has helped us in any way, our most sincere and hearty thanks. We must still depend very largely upon private generosity to swell our collection, and in the absence of a National War Collection we ask for gifts of any printed or pictorial material that touches the War, or War conditions, in any way. We lack much material published between August 1, 1914, and the date of our entering the War; we lack files of newspapers and journals covering the War period; we lack the pleas of those who tried to keep us out of the War - and many other local items so difficult to secure and so seldom preserved. All gifts will be promptly acknowledged and suitably marked with the donor's name. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
