4 l 1 THE' CCLLECE When the first college building was erected, the library, contained in a single case, was placed in the north entry. Additions were made to the library from time to time, but it was not until l850 that an urgent effort was made to so enlarge and strengthen it that it might correspond in dignity with the insti- tution. At the annual meeting of the trustees in l850, it was voted to take measures to procure funds for erecting a library building and for increasing the number of volumes owned by the college. Upwards of 515,000 Was raised by subscription, of which Sl0,000 was devoted to a building which was begun in 1852 and finished in 1853. In Dr. Hitchcock's words the new library was built of beautiful unhewn gneiss of Pelham. In l883 Henry T. Morgan, a New York banker, left an unrestricted sum of money to the college. The bequest was used for the reconstruc- tion of Walker Hall as well as for the enlargement of the library. Converse Memorial Library, built in l9l7, was donated by Edmund Cogswell Converse in memory of his brother Iames Blanchard Converse, '67, The money for the building of Walker Hall came to Amherst by President Stearn's careful and tactful negotiations with Dr. William I. Walker, a man whom President Stearns described as possessing great abilities, great excellencies, and great peculi- aritiesf' President Stearns talked of the new building as a temple of science and as a superb example of the revised mediaeval, and Professor Tyler called it a happy conception happily executed. The Noah Webster Memorial was a donation of Richard Billings, '97. The statue, which was once west of Stearns Church about Where the entrance to Mead is today, now resides north of Walker Hall. It embodies in bronze and granite the spirit of the founders of Amherst College and specifically the faith of Noah Vlfebster as expressed in his dying utterance: I know in whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
