 The new law group was com pleted late in the spring and the Cornell law library of more than 15O,000 volumes moved in during the summer months. In style and general character of exterior, My ron Taylor hall, so named after it's donor. resembles others of Cor nelrs more recently erected build ings, being English collegiate gothic in architecture. and built of native stone with Indiana lime stone trimming. The new building, however, is simpler in design and has less ornamental cut stone work, construction especially adapted to the rugged hillside from which the building rises.

The length of the other wing runs north and south and is held to the south wing by an eight story tower approximately forty feet square.

With seating facilities for 423 students. this room represents new feature in law school con- struction.
