From the congest- ed aisles in the stacks to the bulging shelves in the docu- ments department, students from diversified areas of study are probing, seeking knowledge from printed ma- terials. Overcrowded conditions have prompted plans for a new building to be constructed across the street from the present library and expected to he completed by 1966 . Forsyth Library is a melting pot for visitors as well as students. A popular attraction is the museum, which is divided into natural history, geology and pale- ontology, prehistory and history, and the Flam Bartholo- mew Herbarium sections.
