Snagged an Extremely Rare Book on Ebay

Silliman University 1901-1959 by Arthur Carson. Third president of Silliman University.

The seller told me that this book is extremely rare and in fact the last available copy online. He said, there are only two libraries in the US that have this on their online catalogue. I searched for this book online, after watching an interview on YouTube, of an American expat in Dumaguete sharing events that occurred in the city during the second world war.

I first saw and read this book at my former office at Silliman and it was hard to put it down. It was action-packed and full of real-life drama and adventure. I forgot the title but knew it was written by Dr. Arthur Carson. The 3rd President of Silliman University. I googled and it led me to this Ebay listing and bought it immediately, being the last one available.
