Celebration of Mallet Collection Arrival

October, 2004—Assumption College will celebrate the arrival of the Mallet Collection on October 13, 2004 at 4:00 p.m. on the first floor of the Emmanuel d'Alzon Library.

In March 2004, Assumption College acquired the Mallet Library from L'Union de St. Jean-Baptiste d'Amerique. The Mallet Library collection consists of 6,000 volumes of books, research studies, and other materials about the French in North America, and includes a large number of books relating to Native Americans as well. The collection was gathered by Civil War officer Major Edmond Mallet (1842-1907).This collection is on permanent loan from L'Union de St. Jean-Baptiste .

The program will include remarks from Ms. Louise Champigny, director of New England Operations for Catholic Family Life/Union St.Jean-Baptiste, and Dr. Claire Quintal, former director of Assumption College's French Institute and professor emerita of Foreign Languages.
