"There was a time in the mid-1990s when it appeared Kellogg itself might not happen, according to Pat Worden, the university's interim vice president for student affairs. 'There was a notion that we wouldn't need a library because of the electronic revolution,' Worden recalled last week. 'We had to lobby the chancellor's office hard that a library is more than just books. Given that we almost got nothing at all, it's fabulous that we got something so extraordinary.'"

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012
