Big Brother is Watching

(04/24/03 9:00am)

I remember when I was growing up, I spent countless afternoons in my local library reading my favorite books. I remember the feeling of safety and comfort I felt in the library, among the hundreds of books. It was a place of possibility and imagination and creativity and intellectual freedom.

Berry Very Good

Berry Library invites a narrow range of comments from students. Words like "functional" and "sanitized" tend to dominate. Berry Library's enormous size and complicated layout can be overwhelming even for an intelligent Dartmouth student. Garish sculptures represent a poor attempt at humanizing and beautifying a space that has the atmosphere of a hospital. However, like it or not, Berry is here to stay. Buildings tend to have a long shelf life. The architectural wonders of the Hop, the Choates and Bradley have long become part of the Hanover landscape. On the bright side though, with our new warehouse, it will be a long time before people can make snide comments that Dartmouth has a gym larger than its library.
