LeTourneau College Library
Moves Toward CompletionTo keep pace with the ever rising
academic standards and to provide
for normal library growth, building
a new structure has become impera-
tive.
The new library is planned not
only to increase the book and seating
capacity, but also to provide im-
proved study and research condi-
tions. Individual study corrals inter-
spersed throughout the stack areas
will enable readers conveniently to
study near their own subject section.
An inviting periodical display area
will encourage student exploration
in current journals.
Students of recent years have been
acutely aware of the crowded stock
shelves and make-shift arrangements
for periodicals and offices. The new
stacks will allow uncrowded shelving
of books for present volumes and
will provide space for normal library
growth rate for a number of years.
A large conference room seating 30
to 40 people will be found on either
side of the spacious central audio-
visual storage room. In each of these
large rooms provisions have been
made for projection.
The music library with its listening
stations will be of special help to the
music department and its apprecia-
tion classes.
Careful plans of architects, libra-
rian, consultants and building com-mittee have resulted in the best
possible use of all available space.
Every effort has been made to pro-
vide a functionable library plan that
will not only meet current standards,
but by adding wings, will also allow
for future growth.
Memorial Service For
Brilliant Scientist
(The following excerpts are taken
from the remarks made at the Me-
morial Service for Dr. Newton
Gaines by Dr. Granville J. Walker,
at University Christian Church, of
which Dr. Gaines was a member.)
". . . In all my life I think I have
never known a more exciting, de-
lightful, brilliant and joyous man
than Newton Gaines - or one to
live on tip-toe to the very last
minute of his life, as he did."
". . . He was certainly one of the
finest and most competent physicists
in the land and his accomplishments
and contributions in this field have
been immense."
". . . He was exceedingly creative.
Together he and Leslie Chambers
developed a method of killing bac-
teria by sound, and he held other
patents representing a creative
genius."
