Additional Notes

This bookplate was found in an RSW scrapbook.

"Victor West was three years older than RSW, a fellow member of Alpha Pi at Bradley Polytechnic Institute, and graduated from Bradley in the class of 1903. He later became Professor of Political Science at Leland Stanford University. RSW mentions him in some of his letters after his accident. This bookplate was created for the Victor West Memorial Library at Stanford, after Victor West died in 1927, long after RSW had given up doing such work commercially, but no doubt as a tribute to his late friend."
