New Library in 1927

On the evening of October 3 1927 a new library was formally opened. After the singing of a hymn, Professor Koch pointed out the great value of books as companions and teachers. He also showed that the possession of such a fine new library entailed certain duties and obligations, and urged strict observance of the rules and friendly co-operation.

‘The library is the most pleasant and best-equipped room in the College. An attractive feature is the collection of pictures adorning the walls.
A beautiful painting of our Saviour and a picture of Luther help to remind us that although secular knowledge is very useful, spiritual knowledge is far more important.
Among the books are found some good reference works and several fine collections of the best English and German authors, and also other reading matter to suit various tastes and ages.’ (The Brown and Gold, 1928)
