Second West Campus Way to bee residence named for revered CU historian By Franklin Crawford The second of five West Campus Residential Initiative (WCRI) houses has been named in honor of Carl Becker, distinguished Cornell historian. President Jeffrey S. Lehman announced the naming of the Carl Becker House during a ceremonial groundbreaking held on West Campus, May 17. Becker, a prominent cultural and intellectual historian, taught in Cornell’s Department of History from 1917 through 1941 and served as the university historian from 1941 until his death in 1945. While active as a faculty member, he held two named chairs: the John Stambaugh Professor of History (1922-40) and the John Wendell Anderson Professor (1940-41). The president linked the WCRI’s “faculty-led, student- run” program philosophy to Becker’s famous definition of the Cornell character as combining “freedom and responsibility.” “The freedom to do what one chooses, responsibility for what it is that one chooses to do,” said Lehman, quoting Becker. The president re-emphasized the fundamental impor- tance of the WCRI, saying it strengthens undergraduate education in two mutually reinforcing ways: by creating Frank DiMeo/University Photography smaller communities and by integrating intellectual activity The float from the Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering (BEE) moves down Tower into the daily lives of student residents.

While the current physical building hasn’t changed much on the outside since its founding in 1957, much has changed on the inside – influenced by many things, such as the predominance of digital information, computers, financial downturns, the serials crisis, and student protests. Students occupied the building for 5 days in 1972. Research from archival photographs and early college publications help describe the activities of the earliest engineering librarians and various buildings from 1887 to the present. This article will trace the founding of the Engineering Library in Sibley Hall, the development of other small departmental libraries, the move to a newly built Carpenter Hall where the new engineering quad was being developed, and describe the accomplishments and changes to the libraries by the engineering library directors from 1897 to 2017.
