PASSAGEWAY TO LINK SECTIONS OF LIBRARY

A new passageway connecting the western and central stairways in Baker Library on the second floor will soon provide an uncongested passage for men going or coming from upper floor classes. A partition wall cutting off the northern end of some little-used offices is being constructed to make this hallway come between the south side of the main reading room and the offices. According to Assistant Dean Esty Foster '21, this hall will not only lesson congestion on the western stairway by providing two routes for students going to and from upper floor classes, but will also make the reading room a better place for study when men cease using it as a short cut between the two stairways.
