The Library
prince
hropists-
THIS haven of quiet and rest is the gift of I Andrew Carnegie. Il is. however, another one of the substantial improvements which the University owes to the zeal and industry of her retired president. Mr. Carnegie had already bequeathed a munifieenl sum to the City of Lexington for the founding of a Public Library. He had no idea of departing from his well-established custom of never endowing two.similar institutions in the same city. However, the magnetic personality and the Scotch sagacity of Dr. Patterson conspired to induce the noted benefactor to depart from his usual plans and to honor us with the princely gift. With untiring energy the president now set himself to secure for the new Library the best of the literature of the world. His efforts were rewarded beyond all expectations, and he now has the pleasure of knowing that the new Library contains the oldest and the best of all the literature that man has produced. Here is to be found the divine handiwork of the master-spirits of the ages.
