TRUSTEES WILL PROCEED TO BUILD LIBRARY

Following their annual fall meeting held in Hanover during the week of October 19, the Board of Trustees authorized the announcement that the College would proceed immediately to undertake the erection of the new library. This will be the largest project which the College has ever embarked upon and will supply a need that has been acute for many years.

It is expected that the preliminary studies will have been made and plans completed to an extent that will enable the construction company to break ground for the new building immediately after Commencement.

Several committees have been appointed and are already at work developing reports which will be given to the Committee of the Trustees which will have immediate supervision of the enterprise. In addition to the regular library committee of the faculty a new committee has been created to investigate the needs of Dartmouth which the library can supply. A committee of undergraduates has also been appointed to report on features which the student body deem desirable for embodiment in the new building. A committee of the Trustees will receive these reports and add them to its own report.

An informal faculty meeting has already been held at which the subject of the new library was discussed.
