Title A name given to the resource An Open Letter to Alumni and Former Students of Ursinus College Who Have Not Subscribed to the Library Fund Description An account of the resource Fellow Alumnus: When the Central Committee of Alumni started this fund to create a memorial for our soldier dead, it believed that it had the back of every alumnus. We still believe it. But your backing means nothing, unless it is backed by funds. Early in the campaign, we made it plain--That, we believed Ursinus men and women would not let these boys die unhonored. That, we could not build a fitting memorial for less than $50,000. That, every alumnus must assist to make it possible. That, unless every alumnus gave and sacrificed, we could not complete the project. The response of 300 alumni and nearly one hundred non-graduate students have been splendid. They have raised almost half of the fund unaided. Now, what shall the committee do? We cannot go backward, and say "We cannot build this library because 358 alumni have failed to do their part. We return you generous subscription to you with thanks and regrets." We have heard no objection to the memorial fund. None of the 358 has told the committee that it should not plan a memorial. You did not tell us in advance that you would not support the project. Now the committee must know what you are going to do. You are either for this alumni project, or against it. Save us the postage of a personal letter to you as one of the 358, and fill out one or the other of the blanks below. Subscription I VOTE YES: I hereby subscribe $50--$75--$100--$150--$200--$250--$500--$1000--$2000--$5000 to the fund for the erection of a Library Building at Ursinus College by the alumni and former students of the College, Academy, and Seminary, as a memorial to the service and sacrifice of the Ursinus alumni and students in the Great War. Payments to be made: One payment--immediately Four payments: January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1, 1920 Eight payments: January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1, 1920 and 1921. I VOTE NO: Since I am unable to support the Alumni Library Fund with a subscription, and since it is evident that I and 357 others must do our part to make the library possible, as a former student I hereby recommend that the Alumni of the college abandon their plans for the erection of a memorial to the service and sacrifice of the Ursinus men who gave their lives for all I hold dead. Send one or the other to your class representative today.

This is to deny all rumors that the Library Fund has come to a stand-still. Somebody has tried to hang crepe on us, saying--"We are so sorry that the alumni of the College have failed to come to Alma Mater's assistance in honoring her soldier dead." On the contrary, we are much alive. Five hundred dollars was pledged this week. We have almost $5,000 in back. We have $26,000 pledged. Are we all in a fuss and fume because you haven't subscribed? Emphatically no! And why? Because as alumni we believe that you are loyal to your family--your college family--You will not desert your college family any more than you will desert your family of flesh and blood. Of course, we know--That you will fret and ache about Ursinus always wanting money. Of course she does. Dead things don't need money. You need money every day. That you will postpone your subscription until the last possible moment, perhaps evade the issue by not answering your representative's letters. But he hasn't given you up! That your sense of obligation, of loyalty, of appreciation will give you a restless conscience.

Title A name given to the resource Alumni Library News Description An account of the resource The most worth while news this week in the library campaign follows: Several alumni have doubled their subscription to the fund. Others are contemplating doing so. Can you do this? A loyal friend of the college remarks: "The Ursinus alumni are a mighty poor bunch if they can't get $50,000 together for Alma Mater. They may as well close up shop if their success in life is to be measured by the meagre response thus far in the Library campaign." The most emphatic denials of this characterization must take the form of subscriptions from the two hundred and fifty or more bearing the degrees of the institution, who up to the present have turned a deaf ear to the Alumni Committee's representatives. A professor in the College not an alumnus, has made a cash subscription to the library fund. This is a splendid type of loyalty to the institution. But doesn't it hurt that we as alumni haven't done our full share and that others must help?

Title A name given to the resource The Memorial Library Building Description An account of the resource We are pleased to present to the readers of the "Weekly" a picture of the new Memorial Library Building as it appeared on the day of the corner stone laying. The view is from a point near the power house looking south. The incline leading to the scaffold, seen on the left, is at the rear of the building. The chairs arranged for the ceremonies are on the corner nearest Bomberger Hall. The facing of the walls is of Chestnut Hill stone, a handsome and durable building stone of which the oldest houses of Germantown are constructed. The foundations and backing of the walls are of Skippack brown stone. The middle walls are of hard burned brick. The best of material and workmanship are going into the wall of this building which stands upon the highest point of the campus with a bed of solid rock more than one hundred feet thick underlying it. Libraries should be built to endure and this one is being erected with this end in view. It will be a safe and permanent place for keeping the books and manuscripts and precious documents of the College. Two spacious fireproof vaults are being built into the basement. Who knows but what these vaults will be explored in some far distant age just as the libraries of old Babylon now buried under the debris of thousands of years, are being searched for their wealth of ancient lore. The building will be of Colonial style. It is one hundred and three feet long and eighty feet in width from the entrance to the rear of the wings. The interior will include a richly finished vestibule containing on its walls the memorial inscriptions, a large well-lighted chamber occupying the whole of the main building for reading purposes, and the work-rooms, seminar and lecture rooms, a museum, and the office of the librarian. The book stacks, which will be in a fireproof compartment, will hold 60,000 volumes.

Title A name given to the resource Ursinus Union Apparently An Instant, Smash Success Description An account of the resource Although the ceremony that opened the union was brief and contained no more pageantry than the simple cutting of a ribbon, it was a landmark in the College's social development. The Union is open now, this is no longer news. However, how the students have received the Union is news and this is what the Weekly wanted to find out. We did! Everyone concerned with making the Union what it now is should be proud. Students had nothing but praise for this fine new accomplishment. "Wonderful . . . amazing. . . unbelievable" and "long over due" were some of the comments that students made about the Union. No one was displeased although a few procedural questions were raised by some of the students. Mark Trishman and Bob Gassel, two members of the program Board, reported that operating difficulties were being ironed out and very shortly everything should be down to a routine. They also remarked that the snack shop was a great success and that the income from the recreation machines in the basement had been far greater than had been expected. After only one week in operation both Mark and Bob feel that the Student Union has been very successful even in comparison to the Unions of other schools that have long been established. Bob felt that this was partly due to the constitution of the Union while Mark added that we try harder. Also they mentioned that they were going to begin a campaign to educate people to the fact that this is their Union and it would be appreciated if they would keep it as clean as possible. As far as the actual use of the Union is concerned, it is also a success in this aspect. The televisions are constantly on, the meeting room is being used by numerous organizations and the volume of traffic that the snack shop and recreation room are receiving needs not be mentioned. Students are also getting more mileage out of the lounges by using them for studying in the day and hold movies or coffeehouses in them at night. The classes and the USGA are making use of the offices in the basement, so as one can see every usable area of the Union is in operation. Even though the Program Board's budget was cut back, they still are able to provide adequate entertainment as last week's activities proved. More concerts and a variety of other activities are promised. A Special Note of Praise Most people are unaware that people like Bob LeMoi, Mark Trishman, and Bob Gassel, to name a few (and there are many others), donate their time and efforts--they do not get paid! In the past couple of weeks they have almost been there night and day seeing that the opening of Union would be as successful as it was. The Weekly feels that these people deserve a special note of praise for their actions.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource The Union Description An account of the resource I discovered that the Ursinus Student Union was becoming a huge success faster than anyone expected it to when a secretary in the Treasurer's office remarked that for some reason so many checks were being chased by students that morning of Monday, February 19 that the supply of cash would soon have to be replenished. The Student Union had only opened its doors an hour before, so the reader knows where most of the money was being spent. Then I walked over to the building to see how it looked with most of the furniture installed and quickly found myself engulfed in a crowd of happy students, a crowd larger than I had anticipated. A Great Change Great numbers of people from all segments of the campus community have continued to use the building steadily ever since. In only a week this steady use has changed the atmosphere of the school to an astonish extent. One need only have gone to the Union Coffee House on Saturday night to sense the change. It is difficult to describe in material terms precisely what the change was, but one can easily sense a new spirit, a new reinforcement of the bonds of community which I suppose only the presence of a student union on a campus where there was none before can give. I had expected the change in spirit to occur over a few months, not in one week. Many recent graduates attended Saturday's Coffee House to get a look at the new building. All of them liked the building of course, I expected that; but I was surprised to see a wistful look of nostalgia on most of their faces. They looked as though--just for a moment--they wanted to be college students again. Now I found this phenomenon shocking to say the least. When they were the self-respecting college students of the late sixties these same graduates could do or say anything without blushing--except be caught in a nostalgic mood. Being nostalgic would bring a blush, for that was grossly sentimental and, indeed, irrelevant. And at all costs, a student of the late sixties should not want to be irrelevant. But lo and behold, there at the Coffee house were all these students of the sixties being unblushingly irrelevant. My illusions about these hardened elders were shattered. And alas, some of their illusions probably were shattered as well. So it goes. . . Only a Week? So the new Union has been a smashing success, already. One wonders how greatly it will affect the campus in the future when so much has been accomplished in only one week. Given their start, Dr. Wessel and the Board of Governors may wind up performing miracles before the year is out. Yet the main miracle is already here. Who could have imagined a few years ago that the Union would be a reality today? The idea had been nursed along for some time, and I gather that for a while it was faltering. But the Ursinus College Student Union is here . . . now. And it took a special kind of leadership to bring a union here, now, when so many other schools have stopped growing.
