A popular area for stu- dents to cross the street is be- tween Woodburn Circle and the Mountainlair. Dozens of students cross at any given moment, backing up traffi c, sometimes as far as the Willey and High Street intersection. However, while dozens of students cross, few look be- fore doing so. On Friday, between 12:41 p.m. and 12:56 p.m., 254 peo- ple crossed the street, accord- ing to a DA observation. Of those, 64% did not check for cars before crossing. Cathy Bowers, a Morgan- town resident, said she avoids that area as often as possible.

  • THE BRIEF HISTORY of the WVU LIBRARIES from 1931 Mildred Moyers
    Library History University Libraries 6-6-1999 THE BRIEF HISTORY OF THE WVU LIBRARIES FROM 1931 Mildred Moyers Follow this and additional works at: https://researchrepository.wvu.edu/lib-history Part of the Other History Commons THE BRIEF HISTORY OF THE WVU LIBRARIES FROM 1931 Compiled by Mildred Moyers with research assistance from Marianne Courtney Wise Library Morgantown, West Virginia 27 June 1994 Revised 9 June 1999 OVERVIEW From the fall of 1902 until the fall of 1931, the Library was located in a grey sandstone Romanesque style building which was as nearly as possible in the center of the University campus. It soon became evident that this library building did not adequately meet the needs of a good library. The site and style of the building made expansion virtually impossible without prohibitive costs; therefore, after only twenty-nine years in the building, another library building was built and the old library building was destined to become the present Stewart Hall and house the administrative offices for the University. As early as 1929, University President John Roscoe Turner and other supporters saw the need for library improvements. Funds allocated for a new library building amounted to only $300,000; therefore, officials decided to "adopt a design permitting additions in future years. The first Library unit thus was planned as a three-story structure with space for 350,000 volumes and seating for 430 students." According to the Morgantown Post on June 28, 1929, the new library would eventually have an extension of the central tower to seven full stories or 14 bookstack stories, capacity to house one million volumes, and seating for 840 students.
