Terkla describes books and other types of collections Myers had and how he loaned them to Terkla to take to classes. Memorable books were Dante\u27s La Comedia, a Mexican Bible and John Speed\u27s Atlas. He also describes an event called Minor watch, which was a practice he and his students had of waving to Myers as he walked by their window. Terkla includes accounts of events at the President\u27s House in which Myers played music and also of the way Myers displayed his books in his home. Terkla recalls only a few times Myers came to his office but on one visit Myers estimated the date of publication by smelling the glue used in the binding. Myers also didn\u27t understand why Terkla wasn\u27t interested in becoming a collector. The library\u27s collections were also a topic of their discussions and Myers saw no problem if students had to go to ISU\u27s library because IWU lacked journals for some of Terkla\u27s areas
