The Hallowell Granite XVm'ks supplied the granite lor building at a price equivalent to a gilt ol' several thousand dollars. Alter the war, this building is to he cotivertecl into a student union. 'l'he A'New Library is locatecl ntuch inure centrally than is the present build- ing. lt is still in the Course ol' t'0IlSl1'llC'- tion. with only the exterior being cont- plt-ted. lts building was ntade possible tltrougli the tiontrilntititms ol students and alumni ol' the Utiiversityl and it was started on the day that war was declared between Great Britain and Germany. lX'hen it is mntpletecl, alter the war, it will provide a great deal more space for both hooks and students than does the present building.
