Princeton's 70 Great Books (1943)

Princeton University sent this list of books to students fighting in WWII in 1943. The students could pick 3 books from the list of 70 to be sent to them.
Some anthologies are not the same as the ones that appear here, but contain much the same material.
Adds up to 70 because: Shakespeare = 3 volumes; War and Peace = 3 volumes; Conspiracy of Pontiac = 2 volumes
