Rigsby Cites Old Faces in Library Oxford, England—UP)—Curators of the world famous Bodleian li brary at Oxford University are slowly unveiling 200 faces that had been forgotten. The faces— of English scholars antedating the middle of the 17th Century—were painted into a frieze decorating one room of the building in 1618. When the ceiling was repaired in 1813, this frieze was covered with plaster. Last summer it was re discovered.
