Mundt Library will undoubtedly attract many peo- ple to the community of Madison, said Robert T. Stevens, featured speaker at the Nlundt Library Cor- nerstone Unveiling, held in the Mem- orial Gymnasium, May 18. Stevens made the shortly before Senator lvlundt un- veiled the cornerstone which will adorn the new library on the north- west corner of the General Beadle campus. Gray skies, light snow and a bitter wind caused the cornerstone event to be moved inside, a situation which caused lVlundt to remark that this is probably the first time in his- COlT1l'TlSl'1t tory that a cornerstone laying event has been held inside. The new building will not only serve as a library for the students at GBSC, but will also house Sena- tor lVlundt's archives, which he has compiled during his 30 years of congressional service. Fred C. Christopherson, Sioux Falls, president of the lVlundt Li- brary Foundation, said: This build- ing is more than just a library. It is a place of understanding. Senator and Mrs. lVlundt were honored at a reception in the Trojan Center following the cornerstone ceremony.
