Construction Slows
Library Oper at io
The student may find the path of learning strewn with a few
extra thorns, according to Ralph W. McComb, College librarian. He
referred to the delay students are experiencing in getting library
books.
Until spring, when necessary/connectioA are finished bet Ween
the library and its new wing now under construction, McComb
warned that library users will
meet with delays, especially in
the General Reference and Circu
lation departments. He said the
Reserve Book room will not be
affected
Books have been piled on tables
in the reference reading room and
even in McComb's office to make
way for the installation of heat
ing pipes and electrical conduits.
Those books which need not be
moved outright will have to be
shifted and reclassified to make
room for workers cutting through
the walls. There is no available
space to store these books, Mc-
Comb said.
The new library wing is being
built and financed by the General
State Authority at an approxi
mate cost of $1,400,000. Construc
tion was started in August, 1950,
and is expected to be finished
by late spring, McComb said. He
added that the building should
be completely closed in before
cold weather arrives.
McComb said that the -archi
tecture of the wing will conform
in general to the style of the
existing building, with the excep
tion of the rear wall, which will
