The Saltzman Memorial Fund has been established to honor the memory
of Arthur Saltzman and recognize literary contributions appropriate
to Art's work. This is an ongoing fund, maintained by the MSSU Foundation,
to which contributions may be made at any time.
All contributions to the Saltzman Memorial Fund will be designated
to the Spiva Library to purchase books that recognize literary accomplishments
in a variety of areas.
A book plate will be placed
inside of each book purchased.
"I can imagine no more prestigious populations than books and those who give them residence. My apologies to Shakespeare's Polonius, but in terms of the library, one should both a borrower and a lender be. In supporting the library, you support my sharper appetites; in befriending the library, you not only become some of its most precious holdings, you leave a light on for me as well."
-from Love Among the Stacks by Arthur Saltzman
Contributions to the Saltzman Memorial Fund may be sent to the Foundation or Spiva Library.
