The cornerstone laying for the new library structure at Pacific Lutheran College on October 23, 1937. A group of 20 notables pose for a portrait beside the building on the speakers' platform. Building design by Emanuel J. Bresemann, Architect, and the architectural firm of Heath, Gove and Bell. It was built for $104,000 debt free and was dedicated in 1939. Soon outgrown by the expanding student body, the building was remodeled and is now known as Xavier Hall. (T. Times 10/25/1937, pg. 3, see photograph caption in paper for names.)
