Description

Built at a cost of $73,000, the Hoffman Library took two years to build, and was of “fire-proof” construction. When the cornerstone was laid, it was stocked with items that reflected the purpose of College, and the hopes of its supporters. Among the many contents of the cornerstone can be found essays by the Reverends Hopson (“Fasting Communion”), Fairbairn (“Lectures on Morality), and Hoffman (“Notes on Angels”).
