families and which displayed the
coats of arms of their lord’s families,
was a production by Richard Herd.
It is being presented this year on
nearly twenty-five college and univer
sity campuses in all parts of America.
The scenes in the Three Tabards of
Shakespeare were selected from Ham

of the Shrew, Henry V and Julius
Caesar. The staging was deliberately
simple to permit concentration on the

Construction
Planned For
Near Future
Coming as the high spot in the
highly successful Parents’ Day event
on the Elon campus on Saturday,
November 5th, was the ground-break
ing ceremonies for the new Elon Col
lege library, which is to be erected in
the near future at a cost estimated at
$840,000 or more.
The ground-breaking for the new li
brary came after dedication ceremon-
iesfor four buildings that have already
been built, the three new men’s dor
mitories and the new student center,
and it assumed special importance in
the fact that the construction of the
library is still in the future and repre
sents further growth for Elon and
the Elon educational facilities.
The new library, to be constructed
at the southwest corner of Elon’s
walled campus, will replace the his
toric Carlton Library, which at present
houses a library of 59,000 volumes.
The Carlton Library was built in
1923-24 with funds from the Carlton
family at a total cost of less than
$100,000 for the building and furnish
ings.
The present library was dedicated
on September 24, 1924, when the late
Dr. J. O. Atkinson presented the
building to the college on behalf of
the Carlton family, with the late D.
R. Fonville accepting on behalf of the
trustees and the church. William B.
Terrell, member of the senior class
that year, who is now Elon’s alumni
secretary, accepted the Carlton Library
on behalf of the students of that day.
The proposed new library building,
for which the ground was broken on
the first Saturday in November, calls
for a structure of traditional design to
merge with other structures on the
campus. It is to be three stories in
height and will provide all the facili
ties which a modern college library
should have.
The main floor will provide office
and work space for the library staff,
a circulation desk, a card catalogue,
reference materials, space for current
periodicals, catalogued phone discs
and listening tables and study tables
and chairs.
The basement floor will provide
stack space, individual study carrels,
study tables and chairs and storage
