Sotheby’s auction house in Manhattan on 3 December 2013 auctioned one of eleven known surviving copies of the Bay Psalm Book for US$14.5 million. The book had been placed on auction by the Old South Church (United Church of Christ) in Boston, Massachusetts.
The purchaser, David Rubenstein, plans to lend the psalter to various libraries around the U.S., and eventually to place the book on long-term loan to one of the libraries.

[3] Princeton Theological Seminary Lays Off Twenty-One Employees
Princeton Theological Seminary laid off twenty-one employees the week of 18 November 2013. The seminary attributed the layoffs to carrying out the goals of the school’s strategic plan developed in 2012.
Sources at the school said most of the layoffs were in the areas of information technology, library staff, and continuing education. Some of the employees who lost their jobs were reportedly escorted off campus after being told their positions no longer existed.
