Ill Administration Building T MARSHALL M. KET- CHUM, Registrar, has charge of enrolling the en- tire student l t J end keep- ing a record of the bisfor and progress of each student. I HE Administration Building houses practical- all of the more important all-University executive offices. It is located near the west end of the campus, between the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Fine Arts. The building was intended primarily for a Library in which to house the famous Von Ranke collection of 50,000 bound volumes and 75,000 pamphlets, which were given to the University by Dr. J. M. Reid. With the gift he stipulated that they be placed in a new fire-proof building, to be completed by Novem- ber 1, 1888. Accordingly, the present Administration Building was begun, with the laying of the cornerstone on June 2 5, 1888. It was erected at a total cost of between $40,000 and $50,000. The wing on the east side of the building was reserved for the Von Ranke library. In addition to waiting rooms and the librarian ' s apartments on the first floor, a stack room was located at a descent of eight feet from the librarian ' s room. There were three divisions of stacks, each reached by an iron staircase. The second floor contained three reading rooms well supplied with newspapers and periodicals. The capacity of the library was 150,000 volumes. When the University Library was moved to its present loca- tion, the Carnegie Library Building, in 1907, it was decided that the former Library should be used as an Administration building. It was enlarged and the interior remodeled to meet the needs of the general offices of the University. At first only three offices, those of the Chancellor, Registrar, and Treasurer were located in the building. The various rooms were also used as a meeting place for the Board of Trustees and for the faculties of the nu- merous colleges. From time to time other University executive officers were moved to the Administration Building, un- til at the present time nearly 20 important offices are located there. In the basement are to be found the Alumni office, the Summer Sessions office, and the office of the Absence Committee. The offices of the Vice Chancellor, the Treasurer, the Regis- trar, and the Director of Admissions are located on the first floor. On the second floor are the offices of the Chancellor, the several Women ' s Deans, the Men ' s and Women ' s Personnel Directors, the Appointment office, which includes the Student Agencies wimimy m.
