100 students in easy chairs at
any time.
A smoking room, where stu
dents may talk and relax from
their studies, will be provided
on each of the three reading
floors and the two mezzanines
of the building. In addition, a
typewriting room will make it
possible for students to type
notes directly from books in the
library.
The idea of a library designed
for undergraduates use was orig
inated by Keyes D. Metcalf, Li
brarian of the University. Open
ing of The Lament Library,
which is planned for the fall of
1948, will relieve present crowd
ed conditions in the present
Widener Library. This library
will continue as the University’s
center of scholarly research.
In addition to three floors and
two mezzanines devoted to un
dergraduate reading rooms, the
new building will contain two
floors below ground devoted en
tirely to stack room for book
