We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Stumbled across this letter from Leon on the net:

Volume 15, Number 5 · September 24, 1970
A Place to Send Books
By Leon Botstein
To the Editors:

Franconia College is a small innovative liberal arts school, non-profit, without much money. We have a small library and are desperately in need of books. We thought the readers and contributors of The New York Review would help us out by sending to Franconia College, Franconia, New Hampshire 03580, their surplus books and review copies which they no longer need. The worst part of being an intellectual of any kind is the number of books one collects over a short period of time. Franconia College would love it if your readers and contributors could use us as a place to send books no longer needed.

Leon Botstein

President,

Franconia College
