During the last week Hamilton Col
iege students moved into their new
$4,000 library, a building which has
aroused a great deal of interest be-
cause Of the mystery Of its donor and
the distinctiyeness Of the technical Ii
brary features which il embodies. The
structure was dedicated on October 10
in the presence OF Andrew Carnegie,
the board Of trustees, many alumni and
the undergraduate. Senator Elihu
Root. 81. spoke the words of dedica-
tion. to which President NJ. W. Stryker
responded. There remained, however,
numerous details Of construction TO be
completed. and 10 was not until this
week that the building was put into
actual use
The mystery Of tbs donor is now no
nearer solution than at the time OF
the dedication exercises. The unknown
bencfactOr prefers not TO dlvulge his
name. aud such great secrecy has been
maintained that no one except the
board Of trustees and President Stryker
have been acquainted with his identity.
The circumstance of Mr.. Carnegie s
presence al the dedication quite nat
urally gave rise 70 the rumor that the
jronmaster might be the great un-
known. but later DEVELOPMENTS showed
that be came 10 Hamilton merely 20
receive the Ii. b. degree which had
been awarded him three years ago.
With Mr.. Carnegie eliminated from the
list Of possible donors, the alumni and
friends Of the college are at sea. II IS
an unusual situation. because President
STRIKER has said that he had no assUr-
ancc that the donor would ever permit
his name 20 be disclosed. lnasmuch as
the dedication ceremonies we're passed
without any light being shed on the
mystery, there seems 70 be little likeli-
hood that any revelation will come FOR
YEAR,. President Stryker's statement
last June az commencement, when he
first formally spoke Of the new build
ing. was this:
"The name Of the donor is not an
nounced. do not know that II ever
will be. For all practical purposes
don't know The donor is one who
loves % do good by stealth. ! am
sure" he added, humorously, that he
doesn't want TO be held up By other
colleges.
Provision has been made for the IN
seription OF the donors name on huge
tablet high above the entrance 70 the
building. Whether the name will ever
be announced or not, the architect was
forebanded enough 10 plan for such

Great credit goes TO Professor Joseph
ID. Ibbotson, director of the library, for
the efficient system Of library manage
ment which he planned and has now
put into effect. Before the plans were
drawn he made a thorough study of
library arrangement employed in the
most important colleges and universe
ties, and came to few conclusions OF
his own. His great aim for the new
library was to simplify both the work
of the librarians and that of the
students. Professor Ibbotson discov-
cred that most college Libraries were
planned with more regard for art than
utility. In some the reading rooms,
reference rooms and periodical rooms
were entirely separate. For student
this necessitated hurrying from one de-
partment to another in search for ma
terial, while for the Librarians the diff
Guilty was more troublesome. When he
made his recommendations to the
architect, Professor lbbotson specified
that the reading room, the periodical.
room and the reference room should be
assimilated, and this is in substance
what was done. Hamilton's library was
made distinctly utilitarian, but at the
same time was sacrificed none OF the
beauty of the Gothic design.
The technical arrangement of the
reading room contains some distinctive
features. The tables are of steel
representing the very latest ideas in
library furniture. They are low, broad
topped, and will seat only six men, a.
the photograph indicates. The chairs
are of very comfortable design, and
are scientifically correct for reading
position. The light comes from win
dows on orc side only. through unusu-
.llv large windows. with glass slightly
stained 20 shed n soft light The dis
tribGtion of light is even throughout
the room. These details, though of a
purely technical nature, demonstrate 10
