    "The library of the New York Headquarters of the Henry George School of Social Science is now almost completely catalogued, thanks to the efforts of volunteer librarians Bob Clancy and Hester Bradbury. Recently an old friend of the School, who had not visited us for two years, dropped in for a look at the library, and said to Miss Bateman, 'My, what a change. the last time I saw it it was so upset, and now it seems entirely in order.'
    ....'Yes', answered Miss Bateman, 'Bob and Hester have done a splendid job'.
    ....'You know', said the visitor, 'I have a copy of Patrick Dove's Theory of Human Progression -- the original, complete, you understand, not an abridgement. I'm going to bring it down. It's quite valuable'.
    ....'That's awfully kind of you', says Miss Bateman.
    ....'Don't mention it', replied the visitor. 'It belongs to the School. I found it in the library about two years ago and took it home with me. I was afraid it might get lost in the confusion'."

A number of faculty members welcomed the opportunity to meet this well-known author and hear his views on Henry Ggeorge's works. Professor von Mises agreed that he would like to see an increased levy on land, but he cited historical reasons why he does not favor confiscation of land -- a term which he holds is concomitant with the taking of the full economic rent. Though his views did not go unchallenged, they were well taken."

    Comments (by Wyn Achenbacum): I think we identified Harry Pollard, 3rd row behind John C. Lincoln; Joseph Thompson next to Lincoln; John Monroe, seated second from right. Vie Peterson was among the speakers - maybe at Thompson's shoulder? Weld is 3rd from left in the next to the last row, striped tie. Marjorie is to his left, and I think the tall fellow next to her is Archie Matteson. Jessie Matteson is just in front of Weld. Nic Tideman could likely point out several of his relatives there. (Did he tell us Robert Tideman was there? If there is video from the CGO brunch, perhaps that could be picked up.) One might guess that those in neckties were speakers that day.
