The library has been described at night as a floating palace of light. The beautiful ' lighting effects outside and inside are outstand- ing. Complete with pri- vate study rooms for stu- dents and professors, the 300,000 volume library can house 850 students at one time. Clowes Memorial Hall, a non-profit $3.5 million auditorium, is the pro- duct of a civic-minded university. The 2,200 seat interior is of the Continental style, with extra spaces between rows, no center aisles, three tiers of boxes and terrace seats. The stage house is 9 stories high. The entire third balcony is reserved for Butler students.
