Inspired Addition: Vassar's Library

With its high-tech information resources, bright and airy study spaces, convenient and expansive reserve and periodicals rooms, and a new home for the Vassar College Archives and Special Collections, the Martha Rivers and E. Bronson Ingram Library — the newly minted addition to the Vassar College Libraries — was a popular and much used academic center even before its official dedication in May.

For some of those precious babies, like Isaac Scranton or Sarah Hanson, the good-natured and hopeful query of a class correspondent or parent may be an accurate prophecy.

On a rainy weekend in June, the Class of 1951 had much to celebrate.
