Book Collectors Contest
Since 1947, the Friends have presented the contest in
alternate years to promote reading for enjoyment and the development of
students' personal libraries. The 2013
contest was named for Dr. Andrew T. Nadell M'74, an avid collector in the areas
of Gothic Revival, Doctors of Medicine, and Learned Professions and
Occupations. The contest is open to all
undergraduate and graduate students who are regularly enrolled at Duke
University.
The next contest will take place in 2015.
