A delightful little piece, the movie opens with a view of Main Street and soon transitions to the Library itself. The video highlights all of the important parts of Baker library, some of which, like the Tower Room and the Periodical Room still remain.
In fact, as I was watching this, I was struck by how similar the library looked today, and some areas, such as the stacks, have not changed at all. In fact the biggest change I saw was that the College had removed the card catalog in the entrance of Baker Library.
In fact, I bet if a '55 were to wander into Baker Library today, he'd find himself still very much at home.
