"Dr. Margery Bailey (1891-1963), professor of English at Stanford University, established the Institute of Renaissance Studies in Ashland. She willed her book collection, including 200 volumes published before 1750, to Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The collection came to Hannon Library in 1972, merging with our extensive collection. Rare, fragile, and valuable volumes are housed in Special Collections."
