Fascinating read on “ The Wild Bunch” at Vanderbilt University about a group of students who came together and befriended the Chancellor of Vanderbilt in their first night as freshmen in 1973 and how many years later they now created an endowment fund for purchasing books for the library named after Chancellor Heard that they loved so much.

Here’s the story:

In the meantime, when we purchased this at a recent estate sale, we thought the unique Matranga wood was the interest. This desktop magnifying glass seems special on two fronts and is useful as well.

“Ubi Fera Sunt” translated means “”Where the beasts are”.

The Wild Bunch seems like our kind of people and perhaps this will find its way to one of them. We assume this might have been a gift for donating to their fund or perhaps a reunion keepsake.

Will ship USPS with tracking to winning buyer
