First and greatest of these, - no long and depressing solicitation of funds. The generous and ample gift of the donor lifted that portion of the burden before its weight could be felt. Again, the fact that this library, being the sixtieth library building planned by your architects, Messrs. Patton & Miller of Chicago, and representing in its completeness of detail and equipment the accumulated experience of the fifty-nine other libraries which have preceded it in their brains, has demanded on our part but little of suggestion and labor since construction began. Previously, however, in evolving the plans for a building adapted to our particular use, I think the architects will give a large measure of credit to President Eaton and Professor Blaisdell who assisted them by suggestions gained from their experience in our library work at home, and by travel far and near, inspecting other library buildings and noting their points of excellence and defects. Another factor in lightening our task was that the work of construction fell to our old and tried contractors, Messrs. Schneiberg Bros, & Stevens, whose numerous lesser achievements have for the decade past adorned our campus.
