THE NEW ADDITIONS TO THE UNIVERSITY Stanford ' s iifw lialf-iiiillioii ddllar lihrary is diauging from a dream to the real thing. With funds with which to huild it already api ropriated by the Board of Trustees, with plans for the fine new structure completed in the offices of Bakewell lie Brown, the San Francisco architects, and with part of the Imild- iug eciuipment of tlie P. J. ' alker Company now on the grounds, the early completion of the new library is assured. The new library, a long-felt need since the former one was shaken down in 19l)() l)y the eartlKpiake befoi-e books could be moved into it, will l)e the first i;nit in Stanford ' s second quadrangle. The final building scheme includes three quads. The new library will face the old quadrangle, but will set back over one hundred feet from the outer line of the new (|uad . Colonnades will connect it with the rest of the buildings of this section of ai-chitectnre. This principal building of the east tpiad will be entered by steps from a court in front of it. It will lie a higher structure than its inanediate neighbors, for convenience sake. Entering the front door will bring one to the second floor. After passing through a loggia one comes to the main lobby, from which a stair- way leads to the delivery room, the main study room, part of the stacks, some of the staff rooms, and the |)eriodical rooms. Stanford ' s liln ' ary will be second to none in American colleges in ])oint of comfort and conveniences. With the main features closely connected near the lobby, and the sujiply i-ooms less used, reference stacks on the main or ground floor, and with special seminar and study rooms on a third floor, everything will be nearlv ideal for a nniversitv.
