Harvard Who Knew?

Here's something I did not know about my place of employment:  a bequest of thriller and detective novels, all just sitting down there in the PZ section of Widener.  The donor was class of '89 per this article.  Which one?  I'm guessing 1889, if he was a "renowned Egyptologist."  Because that's my age, and I don't know many people my age who are "renowned."
