Each year at the baccalaureate service, President Bill Cotter counsels graduates to take a good book wherever they go. Now, because of the efforts of Trang Nguyen '97 and Associate Dean of Students Rob LaFleur, they will know about a few more good books from which to choose. Nguyen, with LaFleur's help, compiled a list of favorite books chosen by faculty and staff members. The list will be printed and distributed to the Class of '97 before commencement. It reflects both disciplinary influences and eclectic tastes of faculty and staff, 29 of whom contributed suggestions. Below is an adbridged compilation.
