Ward Miles, Joseph Zaharescu, Alexandru Herman, Richard Mineyev, Igor Zharnitsky, Vadim Monrad, Ditlev This calendar was designed by Tori Corkery for the Department of Mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A great deal of research went into the making of this calendar. It would not have been possible without the help of the stupendous staff in the Mathematics Library: Tim Cole, Margaret Lewis, Becky Burner, Megan Hayes, and Norah Mazel; Mathematics Librarian Emerita Nancy Anderson; faculty member Bruce Reznick; and staff member Sara Nelson. My sincere thanks to all these people. We hope you enjoy tbis calendar as much as we enjoyed creating it. Tori Corkery mathematics university of illinois www.math.illinois.edu Because the University Library had outgrown its space in University Hall (now the site of the Illini Union), the university needed a new library building which was to be “more permanent and artistic than any other on campus.” Completed in 1897, Library Hall was designed by Nathan C. Ricker and James McLaren White. It served as the University Library from its inauguration in 1897 until 1927, with the library occupying the ground floor, a museum in the basement, and stacks and offices on the second floor. In 1897, the University Library had 30,190 volumes and 6,350 pamphlets. By 1908 the Library holdings had outgrown the available space, necessitating additions to the Library building in 1914 and 1919. In 1923 plans were made for a new library. The result, the current Main Library, was completed in 1926. With the University Library relocated to another building, the Mathematics Library and Mathematics Department along with the School of Law moved into Library Hall in 1927 and divided the space. The building was renamed Altgeld Hall in 1941 by a resolution of the Board of Trustees in memory of John P. Altgeld, governor of Illinois from 1893–1897. The School of Law moved into their own building in 1955 and since that time the Department of Mathematics and the Mathematics Library have called Altgeld Hall their home. The Mathematics Library occupies the major portion of what was the middle floor of the original Library Hall plus all of the 1914 addition. Altgeld Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

Currently housing over 100,000 volumes and about 800 serials, the Mathematics Library at the University of Illinois is noted worldwide for its outstanding research collections. It contains the most comprehensive collection of Russian mathematical works as well as one of the finest journal collections in terms of length of run and international coverage. The monograph collection is superb. As a national Mathematics Document Delivery Center, the Mathematics Library attempts to acquire all monographs reviewed in Mathematical Reviews (from 1940 to date). In 1870, the University Library contained 68 mathematical and astronomical books. In 1906, the Mathematics Departmental Library opened in the Natural History Building. A complete set of Crelle's Journal was the first major addition to the library. Today, the Mathematics Library owns Volume 1 (1826) though Volume 626 (2009) of this journal. The Mathematics Library grew from 1,900 volumes in 1910 to 12,950 in 1939. Once combined with the physics collections, the Mathematics Library became a separate unit in 1927 when it Circulation desk in the Mathematics Library. moved to Library Hall.

It shows twenty-five figures representing poetry, art, music, and philosophy. “Arcadia” (north lunette) represents Agriculture. It shows harvestors at the end of the day, different stages of life, and the introduction of domestic animals. Science is represented by “The Laboratory of Minerva” (west lunette) with a standing figure, symbolic of science, surrounded by figures representing the major divisions of science. These divisions include mechanics, electricity, navigation, ship-building, chemistry, geology, and war. “The Forge of Vulcan” (east lunette) represents Engineering. It shows an immense steam hammer forging a huge steamer shaft. Two of the panels are 37 feet long and two are 22 feet long. Each is twelve feet high allowing for life-size figures. Wells painted with a mixture of oil paints and dissolved white wax that dried slowly and did not discolor. The murals were unveiled to the public on March 13, 1900.

Many are well known and are located on the Main Quadrangle including Harker Hall (1878), Natural History Building (1892), Altgeld Hall (1897), Foellinger Auditorium (1907) and Lincoln Hall (1909). Other buildings, including Kinney Gym (1890), the Observa- tory (1895), Forestry Science Building (1905), Stock Pavilion (1913), Ceramic Engineering (1915) and the Vivarium (1916) are often overlooked.

  • Brochure on the Architecture of Joseph Royer
    DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES Planning Division m e m o r a n d u m TO: Laurel Lunt Prussing, Mayor FROM: Elizabeth H. Tyler, AICP, Community Development Director / City Planner DATE: September 6, 2007 SUBJECT: Joseph W. Royer Architectural District Brochure Introduction & Background At the Historic Preservation Commission meeting on August 1, 2007, Ilona Matkovszki and Councilmember Dennis Roberts presented a brochure entitled “The Joseph W. Royer Architectural District, In the Heart of Old Urbana” (copy attached). The brochure consists essentially of a walking tour, with a list and description of 14 buildings and sites in and near downtown Urbana designed by prominent Urbana architect Joseph Royer and a map which locates each of the properties. Ms. Ilona Matkovszki did the research and wrote the text; Councilmember Roberts created the design. At the Historic Preservation Commission meeting, Councilmember Roberts proposed that the Commission and City Council: 1. Support the designation and creation of the “Joseph W. Royer Architectural District;” 2. Approve the creation of a brochure explaining the proposed district, and that it be published and distributed freely in the community; and 3. Approve future funding for marking historic buildings or building sites in the district, the Royer office site, and for marking the perimeter of the district at logical approach avenues. The Historic Preservation Commission was impressed with and supportive of the concept of the brochure, although some commissioners took issue with some of the language in the brochure. At the end of the discussion, the Historic Preservation Commission passed a motion to endorse the concept of the brochure, to recommend that the district have signage, and that the Commission have the ability to review the wording of the brochure and any other promotional materials.
