4 EMMANUEL Nears Opening

Over 55 thousand volumes soon will be transported from their corners in the Administratio17 Building to our new Emmanuel Library. J,Vhile constmetion nears the end, with the installation of lighting fixtures, floor tile and wall panel- 1i17g, plans are being made for the move which will be accom­ plished in two days. With this speed the Library will be i17 full operation when it is dedicated on June 5. The fol/owing note from OUI' President, Sister Ann Bartholomew, S.N.D. , describes the festivities of that da),.

In October 1961 many of you spent a day here at the Col­ lege sharing with us the "unveiling of a dream" - the dream of a new library for Emmanuel College. In an incredibly short time such prog ress has been made that we are now planning the program for the dedication of this monument to your gen­ erosity and loyalty. As Moderator of the Alumnae Association my first con­ sideration was to so li cit from the Alumnae Board of Manage­ ment and from the presidents of alumnae classes their pleasure with regard to the ded ication of the new library. Their charac­ teristic enthusiasm placed the stamp of unanimous approval on the proposal to ha ve the ceremony take place on the afternoon of June 5, 1965 - foll owed by open house and a dedicati on The book stacks with their capacity of 200,- dinner. 000 volumes are ready for future growth. In consideration of the fact that so many hundreds of alumnae have made and are making such generous donations to the Alumnae Fund-Library Building Program, in honor of their parents and other relatives and friends whether living or deceased, it seemed reason'ab le to expect that a larger num­ ber would attend the 1965 alumnae banquet than could be accommodated on campus. We have, therefore, reserved for the dedication dinner the ball room of the new Sheraton-Boston Hotel, Prudential Center, with parking facilities for two thou­ sand cars. Emmanuel's greatest individual benefactor, His Eminence Ri chard Cardinal Cushing, wi ll attend and invita­ tions wi ll be extended to dignitaries of Church and state, education and business. Careful planning is holding the dinner cost to $10.00 per person. W e fee l co nfident that the ballroom wi ll be filled with alumnae, their families and friends, with a special area reserved for reunion classes. The idea becomes increasi ngly exciting. We look forward to welcoming you on the Saturday of Com­ mencement weekend, June 5, 1965. Paul Heneau, right, electrical engineer, surveys power in the boi ler room.
