KENDALL'S MAPS HIGHLYREGARDED COLLECTION BEST OF KIND Vlaps Exhibited in Library are Outstanding; Collection is Unusually Complete The South Carolina maps of Henry D. Kendall of Camden and Boston contitute the best collection of such a naure ever gathered together in this counry. The maps are of great value and he remarks of Professor Louis C. Karinski concerning them in his two lectures Clonday made his audience appreciative )f that fact. The maps were exhibited on the main loor of the library, and both lectures vere attended by large audiences. The light talk was open to the public while he afternoon one was an invitation affair.

Karpinski of the University of Michigan in the Library last Monday night. According to Professor Karpinski, the cartographers of former times were not always able to get the correct informaation as to the location of various places. 1'or instance, the boundary between Ohio and Michigan was placed wrong, due to the fact that the southern tip of Lake Michigan was thought to be located CO miles north of its real position. 1 he English and French cartographers had a different point of view. The French attempted to restrict the boundaries of the English possessions to a very narrow strip along the coast. On the other hand, the English claimed all land to the west as far as there was any land. Some maps show Carolina extending to the Mississippi while other maps include it in brcnch and Spanish possessions. 1 lie collection of maps is particularly strong in regard to maps of the Revolution. While in Paris during the years 1926-1927, Professor Karpinski made photostatic copies of all the maps in the French collection which related to American history. Of the 600 maps in the collection between 100 and 150 touched South Carolina history. There were also many maps of the West Indies in the collection. Professor Karpinski said that there are * some half dozen volumes that contain maps of the Revolution. The small Military Atlas contained only one map of the southern states. The fourth book of the English Pilot included a series of maps relating to South Carolina, most of which were first sold separately and later collected in book form. Then there arc many other atlases, both French and English, relating to the United States, the best being the Atlantic Neptune. This is usually found in a collection of maps, since they were given to English ships by the admiralty. Because of their size and importance they have become very ^ valuable. There are not many copies of the Atlantic Neptune and most of the existing copies differ greatly. The French Neptune is kept by the I*rench Marine Service in a wooden building and constantly exposed to fire. The collcction is extremely valuable and contains several very fine specimens of engraving. The old geographies were used long after they had gone out of date. Old maps continued to be published even after they were known to be wrong.

The bus will be available to any organization on the campus at a nominal rental. In this way and by other means the bus' initial cost will be covered.
