15 Years Ago, April 26, 1984: After designing libraries for colleges such as Colby, Bowdoin and Vassar, the architects of Shepley, Bulfinch, Richardson and Abbott finalized plans for f Kenyon's Olin Library. Essential to the original design of Olin Li- brary was the eight foot glass partition separating the building from Chalmers Library in order to maintain that memorial to Kenyon's president through the 1960s.

50 Years AgO, April 22, 1949: The Collegian printed hu- morous letters sent between fictional students and their parents. One such exchange read: Dear Son, I just read in the paper that students who don't smoke make better grades than those that do.
