Tower, Jr., Collection is the result of years of interested effort by the late Joseph T. Tower, Jr. (of the Class of 1921 of Harvard), whose special hobby was the collecting of old and rare books and pamphlets relating to exploration in the Northern Polar regions and adjacent areas in North America. When his Collection had become valuable he decided to give it to Harvard University for the Library of the Geographical Institute and at the time of his death in 1931 he was keenly interested in acquiring additional volumes to make his intended gift more valuable. After his death his plan to give the Collection to Harvard was carried out by his mother, who added a few special volumes, as he would have liked to do had he lived." (from the Biographical Note at the beginning of the volume).
