Gratifying Response Lyles, Bissett, Carlisle and Wolff of Columbia are the architects for the building, and Edward Stone of New York was design consultant. "Response to the library and its services has been gratifying, both from the students and from the faculty," Reames writes. "An accurate (daily count is made of students entering the library, re vealing as many as 18 per cent of the student body using the building in one day. "Our experience," he continues, "has been that the other libraries on the campus have not been used any less than before this facility was available. Before the building had been in use a month, there was a :request from the students to increase the number of hours the building is open. This was (lone, andl we are now open 81 hours a week." mia.i, Oct. 11, at the Presient's . li.m arc Me.
