She has seen thousands of young men and Women, with hope high in their hearts, go out to meet the World and find their appointed places in it. From her halls of learning have stepped leaders in religion, education, science, and other fields wherein man has spent his energy and ingenuity. She has Watched the upward growth of a nation through its young men vvho have fought for it in four bloody Wars since 1849, through its young women who have served it gallantly as nurses and home- makers. Ever mindful of the effect of national and international events on all youth, she has taught those who have climbed her hill, of the world in which they live and for which many of them have died and will die. Cherished in the memories of generations of students, Iewell Hall will continue to be loved by the youth of the land as she welcomes new groups of eager young people to her classrooms, and as she sends from her hill more of her sons to defend the ideals for which she stands.

Q 9 i I he l 5' 3 1 1 i l I H ii elile L! In 9 l.-11. Carnegie Library One of the most important buildings on any college campus is the library. Since its founding William Iewell has realized the necessity for a good library. The beginning was, of course, small, but by 1905 there were more than 12,000 volumes besides about 700 pamphlets. These books were moved from one room to another, were housed at one time in a large room in the middle section of the first Hoor of Iewell Hall. Finally with the coming of Reverend Charles Haddon Spurgeon's private library, plans were made for a new build- ing which was formally opened in 1908 providing not only housing space for the books which had been increasing in number every year, but also reading room space for the student body. At the present time some 45,000 volumes have found their places on its shelves. Today the Carnegie Library stands on Iewell's campus, one of the most beautiful buildings on the hill, and probably one of the most frequented. Not only during the days, do the students find its spacious study room valuable, but also, in the evenings when it is open and on Saturday. At the long tables in the library reading rooms have sat countless students, ambitious or otherwise, studying varying subjects, science, languages, psy- chology, history, or dreaming out of its windows over the white or green landscape about the future with all its fascination for young people. The worn books have been read and reread by numerous past student generations, who have gone out to live the inspiration which they found on the pages within these walls. New groups of students will continue to follow these, gaining from the library, at least some of the great store of knowledge it contains for those who are willing to Hnd it. The ffjn Bench The Class of ,95, with the especial contribution of President Herget, presented the IH Bench to the college in 1929 and it has since then taken its place in the traditional life on the Hill. It has become taboo for the freshmen during their orientation week, being sacredly reserved for the upper-classmen. The memories of this bench are varied and mostly sweet. Here boy meets girl, light talk goes on, cokes are consumed, laughter and relaxation are the order of the day. During the winter months it shines forth in sparkling white as the symbol that it is, for the name of the beloved college on the Hill. During the fall and spring when warm breezes and flowers invite students to wander across the campus enjoying the beauties of naturen, however, the IH serves a more useful purpose, adding more memories to the store it must now keep within its stones.
