A Gift Becomes Reality September 14, 1967 started the planning for a new library; December 5, 1971 that library was dedicated. The construction of this library was made possible through the generous gift of Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Buehler. Dr. Clark opened the dedication services welcoming honored guests, faculty, administration, students and guests. Former President Dr. Robert Stanger described the development of the library program at Elmhurst College. That program has paralleled the growth of the enrollment over the first hundred years of the col- lege ' s existence. Mrs. A. C. Buehler and her son Mr. A. C. Buehler, Jr. presented the keys of the library to the college. The joyous acceptance of the library was made by Mr. Tom Price as representative of the Board of Trustees, senior Mr. Chris Bauch for the student body, and Mr. George for the faculty and administra- tion. Dr. Frick welcomed the Buehler library and Elm- hurst College into the Second Century. The beautiful library will remain as a lasting me- morial of the Buehler family, and will serve Elmhurst College well as it moves ahead to the next hundred years of service to higher education. Dr. Gerhard Graur gives the prayer of dedication. The long-awaited library took this form thanks to Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Buehler.
