Built in 1891 to honor the memory of Elizabeth Ritter, Ritter Hall is one of the beautiful older buildings which connects a growing Tennessee Wesleyan with its past. Once owned and operated by the Woman ' s Division of the Board of Missions of the Methodist Church, Ritter Hall was a gift to the College, under the auspices of the Woman ' s Society of Christian Service. A dormitory for women until 1962, it is now a dormitory for men on the south side and women on the north, and houses offices for the Business and Education Departments and their classrooms. It was deeded to the College in 1963 by the W.S.C.S. ■ imjk MMMM £»

MERNER PFEIFFER LIBRARY The intellectual hub of the Tennessee Wesleyan Campus is the Merner- Pfeiffer Library, whose operations and growth have been directed most recently by Mrs. Claryse D. Myers, who retires this year as Head Librarian after thirty years of dedicated service to the College. A gift of Mrs. Henry Pfeiffer of New York City, the Library was built in 1 940-1941. The cornerstone was laid in November, 1941, and the formal dedication was held on November 5, 1941, with Bishop Paul B. Kern, Mrs. Pfeiffer, and Governor Prentice Cooper par- ticipating. Under Mrs. Myers ' careful supervision, Merner-Pfeiffer Library has attained a high professional standard of operations and has greatly expanded its holdings. The building has spacious reading rooms, fireproof stack areas with shelving for 30,000 volumes, study carrells, offices, and special workrooms. Visitors and examiners for educational associations have consistently given the Library excellent and superior ratings. Enjoying a sunny Fall day on the library steps are (left to right) Jim Murrian, Kathy Oates, Debbie Adams, Gene Sledge, and Roy Sewell. Pictured below are, left, Linda Fowler and, right, Emma Martin.
