Services for Alumni & Friends

This fund was established in 1990 by the Cerimon Fund in the name of Louise Seaman Bechtel to memorialize her work in the field of children's literature and to honor Ruth Baldwin, whose dedication to preserving children's literature as a scholarly resource built the library that bears her name.

The artwork for the bookplate was created by Marti Schaffer.
