Centenary Junior College Library Building 
Construction of a $312,000 library building is well under way on the campus of Centenary 

Junior College, Hackettstown, New Jersey. The ground was officially broken for the William 
H. and May D. Taylor memorial building shortly after school closed in June. The library is 
part of an extensive program of expansion which has seen the addition of five buildings to the 
campus the past five years. 

The new library is dedicated to the memory of William H. and May D. Taylor of Yonkers, 
New York, and Gloucester, Massachusetts, who were students in the college when it was 
coeducational. The Surdna Foundation of Yonkers, with which M r . and Mrs. Taylor were 
long connected, gave the largest gift for the construction of this building honoring these two 
friends of the college and the foundation. 

The library will have a circulation lobby and reference area, a reading room and two stack 
levels, a music listening room and cubicles, Centenariana-Conference room, seminar and library 
instruction class rooms, a student lounge, a periodical-recreational reading area, offices for 
librarian and assistant, and a large work room. There will be a faculty-staff reading lounge, 
storage room, and the Cummins Museum, named after Annie Blair Titman Cummins of 
Belvidere, whose estate was recently left to the college by will. 

The library is a much needed addition to the campus of Centenary for the enrolment as the 
institution has increased from a student body of 159 students in 1943 to one of 429 in 1953. 
The buildings are to be completed by graduation time next year.
