Carnegie Library The new library building of the University was donated by Mr. Andrew Carnegie on condition that an amount equal to that given by him—forty thousand dollars—should be provided as an endowment fund for the up- keep of the building. The endowment was furnished by the State of Tennessee, which provided a certificate of indebtedness of the State, bearing five per cent per annum interest. In agreeing to the way in which his condition had been met, Mr. Carnegie expressed pleasure at the increasing liberality of the State toward the University in recent years. The committee secured as architects Messrs. Patton and Miller, of Chicago, who have had wide experience in library construction, having planned about eighty libraries, many of which were built with funds do- nated by Mr. Carnegie. The building will be constructed of brick and stone, as shown in the architects’ drawing on the opposite page. The characteristic feature of the library will be the large reading room, eighty-six by thirty-five feet, with eighteen foot ceiling. This room will be beautifully lighted and ventilated, and will be entirely unbroken by parti- tions or columns. It will accommodate one hundred and fifty readers at one time. In addition to the reading room, there will be a special read- ing and club room for the faculty, librarian’s office, cataloging room, stack room, with capacity of about seventy-five thousand volumes, lecture room, public document room, four seminar rooms, unpacking room, bindery, and appropriate cloak rooms, lavatories, etc. It is anticipated that the building will be ready for occupancy about January 1st, 1911. 3
