Announce Plans For Remodeling College Library Reading Room Facilities Will Be Enlarged An exciting-new chapter in the roman tic history of the white marble mansion that bouses the College Library is begun with the announcement of plans for its remodel ing. To provide more reading room for stu dents, the second floor of the 39 year- old building, erected as a residence by the late Mr. and Mrs. Albert Wheeler, Chicago society leaders, will be conver ted into a reading room. All of the books now kept on the second fl or will be moved to the third, where, until now. only the famed Ro thensteiner collection has been stored. To facilitate the traffic of books, an clevalor will be installed for the Jibra- rians' use. The elevator is to be placed in the shaft of the old one, unused for some years. All walls on the second floor will be removed to accommodate tables and chairs for students who wish to study in the Library. This will en large the study and reference area to over twice its present size. A masterpiece of residential architec ture, the building contains 17 rooms. Mrs. Wheeler, who planned and super vised construction of the building, sold it in 1917 to Albert M. Johnson, insur ance executive.and friend of Walter E. (Death Valley Scotty) Scott.
