Under Miss Duncan's direction its services were expanded each year until it now boasts 144,000 volumes and a collection of more than 500 reproductions of noted original paintings. Bu ilder o f a Great Library ANNE STUART DuNCAN, head of the library staff at Iowa State Teachers College from 1913 to 1943, died at her home in Cedar Falls March 28, 1944, after an illness of four months.

Later life took her inland, but she never lost her longing to live near the sea. Miss D uncan was a graduate of the Oscoda, Michigan H igh School and of the University Anne Stuart Duncan of Michigan.
