Library provides learning resource center The afternoon solitude of the library provides an atmosphere some students fmd conducive to studying. In early April, the library terrace is alive with the scent of magnolia blossoms, wafting in the breezes from the hill dorms. Stocked with over 10,000 volumes, the Clifton Miller Library provides one of the best learning resource centers on the Eastern Shore. The library was built in the early seven- ties during the same splurge of cam- pus renovation that saw the con- struction of the Fine Arts Center, Cain Gymnasium, Ferguson, Kent House and Caroline Queen Anne. It is named for a former Washington College president, and even before the blueprints were drawn up for this building, it was earmarked to house facilities beneficial to students and faculty. In addition to being well- stocked, the library carries many scholarly journals that students would have difficulty obtaining oth- erwise. On any morning or after- noon, the library is a quiet place — frequented only by the dedicated or desperate. In the evenings before fin- als, however, the library usually serves a full house. i- 1 »= ; — CV 1 fei-;- Student librarian Mark Devins helps senior Steven Lewan- dowski research a paper.
