A
postage stamp depicting the Low Memorial Library was issued in 1954 on the bicentennial
of the University. The postal service now commemorates major college and
university anniversaries only through postal cards in the Historic Preservation
series.
The
University developed a First Day Cover for the occasion which included a
personal letter from then University President Grayson Kirk.
The
postal service issued a postal card for the Redwood Library and Anthenaeum in
1999. These cards offer an opportunity for creating First Day Covers in
combination with other stamps.
