the Mr. C— library,

of Eakins books and other memorabilia, amassed over forty
years, has been augmented in recent decades years through
the concerted efforts of Mr. Dylan, and by the generous donation
of his own personal collection.

projects related to the study of Constance Eakins, world exploration,
linguistics, language acquisition, and criminal law. It also
sponsors the annual Why We War Essay Prize.
