McCormick Hall and the Owen L. Coon Library were dedicated. McCormick Hall, which includes the Owen L. Coon Library, completes the Law School Quadrangle and nearly doubles the facilities of the older existing buildings, Levy Mayer Hall and Elbert H. Gary Library. Three stories high, and completely air conditioned, Robert R. McCormick Hall includes an ornamental foyer, an auditorium, a court room, a lounge, two new classrooms, an ornate conference and seminar room and 35 additional offices for the faculty, teaching associates and assistants and for the Law Review and Jour- nals. The Owen L. Coon Library connects with the Elbert H. Gary Library rais- ing the total book capacity of the combined Library from 180,000 to about 400,000 volumes and the seating capacity from 184 to 300. The new Library includes carrels and typewriter cubicles, a faculty library, a treasure room, a browsing alcove, a room for microphotographic equipment, a number of new offices and an elevator. Some offices and the reference section at the north end of the Elbert H. Gary Library have been remodeled and expanded. Architecturally, the new buildings conform to the older structures but the new reading room features blond tan metal shelving and matching reading tables with chairs upholstered in light brown naugahyde. The treasure room and the browsing alcove have special furniture and equipment. The ceilings have acousti- cal tiles and fluorescent lighting fixtures. Altogether, the new buildings give a modern and cheerful effect. One feature of the centennial observation has been the publication of Northwestern University School of Law - A Short History (by James A. Rahl and Kurt Schwerin), which was distributed at the Convocation. The History includes a chapter on the Law Library.
