Syracuse University’s Carnegie Library officially opened on September 11, 1907 after books and pamphlets had been transferred from the von Ranke Library [center in the back]. The librarian of the University of Pennsylvania hailed it as the best-designed academic library building in the country. The University’s Library system now held 71,422 volumes, almost 20,000 of which were housed across campus in the schools and colleges’ ten department libraries.
