Beeghly Library provides for access to knowl- edge. Its four floors, representing an area of 105,000 square feet, are spacious and open, but careful placement of bookshelves and furniture creates small, well-delineated study areas on each floor. Each study area contains the books needed by a specific academic discipline in addition to adequate study carrells and lounge facili- ties to accommodate students using that particular section of the library. For example, one large study area located on the third floor is designed to house the many books associated in the broadest sense with the humanities. A student working in the general disci- pline of the humanities can go to the open stacks in this area to find the books he needs and then return to adjacent tables or carrells to do his studying or research. Similar study areas are spaced throughout the library. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, the openness of Beeghly Library gives the building a flexibility which will keep it functional for years to come. Column spacing in the library's stacks permits them to be turned in any required direction. Thus, individual study areas can be made larger or smaller as a changing academic pro- gram or new library servicing techniques might dictate. Air conditioned throughout, Beeghly Library houses more than a third of a million volumes (books, periodicals, and pamphlets) as well as microcards, microfilm, microprint, and other instructional media. In addition, the library serves as a depository for Federal government documents. The total cost of Beeghly Library, including furnishings, was $2,110,668. Title A name given to the resource L. A.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to unlabeled page 10 of Beeghly Library] [half of map of OWU campus; the next page contains the other half of the map] Beeghly Library, located on University Avenue, realized the initiation of a plan to unite Ohio Wesleyan's Residential Campus with its East Campus. The building's covered entry, landscaped ter- race, and paved plaza were designed as part of a pedestrian mall to be construc- ted on University Avenue when the two campuses are eventually joined. The brick, limestone, and granite used for the library's exterior were chosen be- cause of their visual relationship with the exterior materials of existing build- ings: red brick on the Residential Cam- pus, and stone on the East Campus. Ohio Wesleyan gratefully recognizes the cooperation it received from the people of Delaware in securing the site for Beeghly Library, and extends special thanks to Mr. Jack Florance and Mr. Harry Humes for serving as co-chairmen of a Delaware Citizens' Committee.

The year will be historically significant in unique measure as the year in which beautiful L. A. Beeghly was placed in service. I venture to suggest that no other university of our kind and size in America will have a more prideful addition to its educational facilities this year. The library represents a giant step into the future. There is enclosed a dedicatory brochure which pictures and describes the library. Such a publication can only hint at educational dimensions inherent in a building of this kind, with its wonderful facilities for independent study and its extensive audio and visual equipment. I invite you -- indeed, I urge you -- to visit the campus soon to see at first hand the beauty and the promise of this handsome campus addition. An outpouring of generosity by the principal donor, together with a similar degree of devotion from many alumni and friends of the University, have made this library possible. On behalf of all of us, and especially on behalf of the students today and the thousands to come, I wish to express heartfelt gratitude. May you visit us soon! Sincerely, Elden T.
