A small room on the fourth floor of Capen Hall houses one of UB's best-kept secrets: a prestigious collection of James Joyce's letters and manuscripts that is the largest in the world.This summer, UB featured "The Centennial of Bloomsday," a James Joyce exhibit in the Poetry and Rare Book Collection Library, which was displayed from June 8 through September 22.For the centennial, UB displayed the full collection, which included Joyce family portraits, early writings before the author's celebrated "Ulysses," scraps of notes on which he would write ideas, and first editions of books such as "Portrait of the Artist," "Exiles," and "Dubliners.""We were very lucky to have the foresight to buy these (artifacts)," said Samuel Slote, the collection's curator.Slote added that the entire UB James Joyce collection is valued at $100 million.According to Slote, when the Joyce items were auctioned off between 1949 and 1950, UB was the only university to place a bid on any of them.Slote said after Joyce died, some of his belongings were recovered, but most were sold in Paris, and because no European universities joined in the bidding process, the Joyce collection easily made its way to UB.However, there is a bit of mystery within UB's Joyce collection.

UB will soon feel a ripple effect from the fifth floor of Capen Hall as President Simpson moves forward with several nationwide searches and develops a comprehensive plan.Simpson said during Monday's UB Council Meeting that the university "needs to make some critical decisions about what it is and what it wants to be, and act on that."Nearly every speaker at the meeting brought up either an academic or financial committee, a comprehensive plan, or series of administrative and faculty searches, all of which will impact the direction Simpson decides to take UB in the near future."I'm getting a picture now of the university that you don't get from looking at numbers on a page," Simpson said.Council Chair Jeremy Jacobs expressed concern that Simpson was biting off a bit more than he can chew, especially with national and in-house administrative position searches underway in both the president's and provost's offices.
