The senior thesis represents the culmination of a Haverford student’s academic experience, and is one of the most important and rewarding ways that Haverford realizes its educational mission. It is an opportunity to do original research at levels usually reserved for graduate students, in partnership with faculty mentors. Haverford College is one of a very few institutions in the country that includes a senior thesis project as part of every student’s academic program.

This scrapbook compiled by Elliston P. Morris Jr., Class of 1922, features dance cards, programs from campus events, photos of faculty and fellow students, and newspaper clippings of Haverford athletic teams and world events, including the end of World War I and the first national election in which women could vote.

"In the Collection" highlights some of the rare and marvelous items that are part of Magill Library's Special Collections.

Renovations began in mid-February to what will be called the Lutnick Library. Once completed, this new library will include technologically robust spaces, active teaching and learning spaces, a Digital Scholarship Commons, and a cafe, but will also retain many of Magill's beloved historic spaces including the Philips Wing, the reference and reading room, the Rufus Jones Room, and the Carvill Arc.

The successfully completed Lives That Speak campaign identified the Library as a rich opportunity to create a much-needed interactive, inviting, architecturally beautiful structure that advances and facilitates the innovative programming now offered. New features of what will be called the Lutnick Library include technologically robust spaces, active teaching and learning spaces, a Digital Scholarship Commons, and a cafe.

Best known for his predictions regarding a certain comet, Edmond Halley was an all-around genius who built the first diving bell, devised a working model of a magnetic compass, and pioneered actuarial science.

Magill Library

Magill Library will be transformed by a renovation and revitalization that is scheduled to begin in January, 2018. The building will be renamed Lutnick Library in recognition of a $25 million lead gift from Howard Lutnick '83. Planned changes include enhanced technology, open and flexible spaces, increased accessibility for special collections, and a café. Heritage spaces, including the Magill Wing and its historic façade on Founders Green, will be preserved.

Long before it was renamed and expanded, Magill Library got its start as Alumni Hall. Originally proposed by the Haverford College Alumni Association as a place to hold meetings, the building took on a dual purpose when the Board of Managers suggested that a portion of the hall be used to accommodate the College’s library, which was then bursting out of a second story room in Founders Hall.

Come back tomorrow to see Magill Library at Haverford “Now”.
