JAAIES D. RAAIER

InSeptember, 1^61, the E?igineering library moved from Mines
Building to its new quarters in the recently completed Seeley
Wintersmith Mudd Building at 120th Street and Amsterdam
Avenue. The reading room, staff and service areas are on the
fourth floor, supplemented by periodical stacks on the third
floor which are reached by an interior stairway.

The library has been named the Monell Library in honor of
Ambrose Monell, EE '</6, who was the first president of the
International Nickel Company. The Monell Foundation made a
gift to the Engineering School which included funds for new
furtiiture and decorations in the library. As a result, the latter has
become one of Columbia's most attractive and colorful depart¬
mental libraries.
