    Guide to the Minor Myers, Jr. Honors Collection September, 2005 Updated 2011 by Ryan Kaiser As intended from the initial stages of planning, the Bates & Merwin Reading Room is the crown jewel of The Ames Library. Given his central role in building The Ames Library and his high standards and hopes for the IWU community, it is fitting that the collection housed here is named in honor of President Minor Myers, jr., 17th president of Illinois Wesleyan, 1989 – 2003. Early in 2003 a call for proposals went out to Illinois Wesleyan faculty to submit ideas of what the collection should look like. Jim Plath, English department faculty member, submitted the winning proposal that called for the pinnacle of Ames Library to host books that had received honors in their respective disciplines from around the world. Professor Plath’s reasoning for proposing the Honors Collection is as follows: ▪ Illinois Wesleyan espouses the value that our students, faculty, staff, and alumni should aspire to be the best at what they do, and an honors collection celebrates both the best books in all fields and that important institutional value. ▪ A collection of this nature gives people access to the best books so neophytes to a field or discipline can steer automatically to books worth reading. ▪ Because an honors collection will span a huge number of topics and disciplines but also include international, popular, and small press materials, it will feature many books that should invite reading for pleasure. ▪ An honors collection featuring recent books will change from year to year and as a result the reading room will always have important potential to expose readers to new finds and discoveries through a never ending built in freshness.
