The Widener Library has on exhibition in the Treasure Room some contemporary souvenirs of Lafayette's visit to this country in 1824, including Everett's oration and Ware's poem before the Phi Beta Kappa Society in that year, with manuscript notes of the toasts given at the dinner at which Lafayette was a guest, a play--bill of the theatrical performance in his honor in New York, various biographies called forth by his presence here, a collection of poems in his honor, and a scrap--book of newspaper clippings tracing his progress from town to town.
One case is devoted to the volumes of manuscript copies of his correspondence and papers which Lafayette himself sent to Jared Sparks, afterward President of the University, and to Sparks" notes taken down at Lagrange from Lafayette's dictation.
