the night librarian, would never let me
walk home alone to my off-campus apartment.
She always insisted on driving me."
—GAIL BAKER GERSIE '78
"To get around the 11 p.m. dormitory curfew in the
1950s, you signed out and listed the library as your
destination. The time needed to use non-circulating
books allowed you to come back late."
—ELAINE LEVENBERG PASTERNACK '55
"The stacks in Roscoe West were scary. Catacombs.
It was ancient down there and easy to get lost."
—EMILY DODD '03
