Will we lose those pleasant

likely, if we remember our
first responsibility as a library
is to bring people and ideas
together.
Some of those ideas will
continue to be in books. Nobody can predict whether or
when the printed book will be
replaced by some other form
of publication. However, it is
safe to predict that popular
publications will be in print

a remarkable new
collection hidden
among the book stacks
on the 5th floor of Kerr Library
- a veritable treasure trove of
books, art, and furnishings of
the Georgian Period and the
Victorian Era, the result of a
gift from Norman W. Wilson of
Corvallis. Wilson recently
donated a portion of his collection to the OSU Libraries for
use by students and scholars
who would study the period
reflected by his holdings.
The Norman W. and
Glenville Starr Wilson Room
contains part of the collections
of Wilson and his late wife,
Glenville, who spent many
years traveling in England and
in the Pacific Northwest. During their travels, they capitalized on their ever-increasing
interest in 18th and 19th century British history, collecting
antiques, artifacts, and volumes reminiscent of the period.
A retired OSU English
professor, Wilson remarks,
"Enlightened England, the Age
of Reason, as the 18th century
has often been termed, has
been an area of reading appeal
to me from an early age. Interested as I was in good writing,
I found much to enjoy in such
masters as Swift, Pope,
Addison, Fielding, and
Johnson".
Among the artwork in the
Wilson collection are some
especially significant pieces by
William Hogarth. Hogarth
(1697-1764), a painter and
engraver, introduced a series of
narrative scenes which poked
fun at the morals and customs
of the British aristocracy and
middle-class. Works by
Hogarth are among Mr.
Wilson's favorites. His collection includes numerous etchings by Hogarth and several
books containing examples of
his work.
There's
Another notable part of the
Wilson collection are fore-edge
paintings in the books of poetical works of Robert Southey
and The Works of William
Shakespeare. Fore-edge painting was an almost exclusively
English practice of painting a
watercolor on the fore-edge of
a book. Later, the edges were
gilded; when the book was
closed the painting did not
show until the edges were
fanned. This technique was
also used to create double foreedge paintings; a separate
scene occurred depending
upon which direction the
leaves were fanned.
The beautiful antique furniture on display in the Wilson
Room includes a dumb-waiter
(ca. 1870) which holds smaller
items from the Wilson Collection, and two slipper chairs.
Slipper chairs are chairs with
high backs, short legs, and low
seats. In 16th century France,
they were called a chauffeuse
and used by mothers in caring
for small children. In America,
the slipper chair was thought
to have developed close to the
floor so that ladies could more
easily adjust their footwear.
With its lack of arms, the
slipper chair also provided a
lady, with her voluminous
skirts, room to sit down.
A "HIDDEN
TREASURE"

Scholars - be they curious
undergraduates, graduate
students involved in art, literature, or history; or faculty or
alumni wishing a moment of
solitude among the clamor of
campus activity - are welcomed to the comfort, rich
heritage, and beauty of the
Wilson Room, and all that it
represents in the lives of
Norman and Glenville Wilson.

strength where it was most
needed.
The planning process reminded us that when Kerr
Library was built in 1963, it
had only been envisioned to
handle typewriters, microfilm
readers and a few modern
Xerox-type copiers. What
happened, instead, was that
over the next 30 years the total
amount of wiring in Kerr
Library multiplied more than
two-fold in patchwork jerryrigging in an effort to
accomodate the explosion of
electronic information storage
and retrieval systems being
developed by scientists and
engineers. The decision to
convert the Kerr building into
an access center demanded
major attention to electronic
information systems and the
space required to accommodate them, resulting in a plan
to add nearly two thirds as
much space as currently
available.
When the building reached
the top of Higher Education's
priority list of capital pr ojects,
the dream began to appear as a
potential reality. However,
that reality proved to be elusive as state funding failed to
provide for the project through
the next two bienniums. Finally, during the 1993 Legislative session, State Representative Tony Van Vliet amended a
spending bill to include a
Challenge Grant for the project.
If OSU could provide $10
million in private gifts for the
project, the state would match
that amount. The bill passed
with a deadline of June 30,
1995, after which date the
challenge offer would no
longer be valid.
The University now had an
opportunity to move ahead on
the long awaited project. Two
major gifts of $1 million each
immediately were offered by
Trustees of the Oregon State
University Foundation, to get
the ball rolling. By the end of
July, 1994, nearly $5 million
had been committed by
alumni, friends, foundations
and corporations.
As state officials reviewed
the November election ballot,
however, they realized that
various initiatives, if successful, would reduce the state's
bonding capacity. Since the
state's share of the Challenge
Grant was to be provided
through bonds, a crisis was in
the offing. Unless the state
could sell the bonds, it would
likely be unable to meet its
)ortion of the Challenge Grant
'igreement. As a result, officials
notified Oregon State University that the deadline would
have to be moved up to Sepnine months
tember 15
earlier than originally announced. Another $5 million
in private gifts would have to
be identified and committed in
a record six weeks.
It happened.
As a result, the project has
passed the halfway point in its
quest for $36 million for design
and construction. As of January, 1995, $20,725,000, has been
committed to the project.
Phase II of the fund raising
effort is underway. The story
of a "building for tomorrow" is
unfinished, but the plausible
endings appear to be happy
ones. The students, faculty and
community users who will
'enefit from the renewed
'__.-Iibrary at Oregon State can
only hope those endings will
be the real ones.

NEWS OF THE
OSU LIBRARY
CAMPAIGN
THE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN
MET. The Challenge Grant
from the State of Oregon to
the Library Campaign was
achieved on September 14,
1995, when $10 million in
private funds was reported
to OSU President John V.
Byrne. President Byrne, in
turn, notified state officials
who authorized the matching funds. As a result, and
with additional gifts received since September, the
Campaign currently stands
at $20,725,000.

THE CAMPAIGN. From the
beginning, the OSU Library
Campaign volunteer structure included the
Linus Pauling, Jr.
University's most famous
alum, Linus Pauling (Class
of '22), as Honorary Chairman. With the sad passing of
Dr. Pauling in August, the
world and the Library Campaign lost a remarkable
individual. However, Linus
Pauling, Jr., representing the
Pauling family, has agreed to
assume his father's role as
Honorary Chair in honor of
his father's commitment to
the library project. We take
his willingness to serve as a
positive omen of the
Campaign's continuing
move toward success.
MOMENTUM CARRYING
CAMPAIGN FORWARD. A
signal that support for the
Library Campaign continues
unabated is taken from the
fact that many of the university faculty and staff are
choosing to renew their
payroll deduction pledges.
More than 75 individuals on
OSU's payroll have made
pledges to the Campaign
and many of them have been
renewed in the closing
weeks of 1994, extending for
at least another year. The
Campaign is grateful for
both the gifts and the confidence these renewals
represent.
