4.9/5 (23464 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Dedicatory Address: Class of 1856 Little, our College historian and present librarian, writes that the "insufficient accommodation cramped, if it did not check, the normal growth of the collection." Here the library remained until it entered the abode of its youth, in Bannister Hall, at the rear of King Chapel. The corner-stone of that chapel was laid in July, 1845, and the building was dedicated in June, 1855. It must have been near the latter date when the library, emancipated from its nursery, closed its protracted infancy of half a century. In its new home the youth was held in strict surveillance. It was allowed to receive visitors only one hour each day and only one book with each visitor was permitted to leave the room. For eighty years from its birth, the annual appropriation for its support averaged less than two hundred dollars. Reared and housed in chapels, its temperament was chastened by the accession, in 1850, of the books of the College Theological Society, numbering several hundred volumes. But a change was wrought, in 1880, by the absorption of the Athaeanan and Peucinian Society libraries. These contained more than five thousand volumes each and are described by Professor Little as remarkably complete and valuable collections of the general literature and current periodicals of the forty years preceding. From that time onward the character and conduct of the library became more liberal. Its numbers have increased to more than seventy thousand volumes. It receives its guests at all desirable hours.
