Freshman Paul Sexton escapes from the noisy dorm to the quiet library to squeeze in a moment ' s study. One of the most frequented places on campus during the evening is Wrenn Memorial Library, built in 1937.

Throughout the first semester freshman women used the library as a legal escape from the seclusion of closed study. At times, a student ' s presence in the library is not his own choice, particularly if he settles in the base- ment.
