The Library—The gift of Andrew Carnegie

1 More and more, names are coming to occupy an important and significant place in the life of the University. Buildings and halls stand as tributes to teachers, trustees, alumni, and friends. Scholarships, prizes, and loan funds carry with them the memory of persons who have had a deep interest in the institution.

Crosby Mechanical Laboratory—named for the Donor, Oliver Crosby ’79

In what finer way may one perpetuate his name, or honor another than to establish scholarship aid funds or to erect a building, either of which will render countless years of invaluable service to young men and women, to education and to the State of Maine?

The University of Maine offers such opportunity to those who may be interested in promoting high edu­ cational standards and ideals.

Coburn Hall named for Abner W. Coburn, Donor of the Coburn Fund
