General Library Building
Description
An account of the resource
Due to the rapid growth of the Library's collections, this building was deemed too small within twelve years of its construction. Attempts were made to deal with the overcrowding by adding stacks in 1899, 1903, and 1910 and by creating separate subject libraries (<a href="http://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/showcase/credits/further-reading">Loup & Yocum, 2001</a>).

Title
A name given to the resource
Reference Room Murals
Description
An account of the resource
<p>Reference room murals "The Arts of Peace" (west wall) and "The Arts of War" (east wall), by Gari Melchers, were originally painted for the Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building at the Chicago World's Fair in 1892-93. In 1895, UM President Angell requested that the paintings be given to the University of Michigan. They were received in 1895 and were hung in University Hall in 1896. In 1918, when plans for a new library building were underway, it was decided that the murals would hang in the main reading room. The reference room, 50 feet high at the center of the barrel vaulted ceiling, was specially designed to accommodate the murals (<a title="Works Cited" href="http://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/showcase/credits/works-cited" target="_blank">Beaubien, 1971b</a>).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"The murals at either end of the Reference Room, above the windows, (which have been in the Graduate Library since its opening in 1920) were originally painted for the Manufactures and Liberal arts Building at the Chicago World's Fair by Gari Melchers, a Detroit born artist. In 1892 he and several other distinguished American artists were called together in Chicago to work on the World's Fair. These paintings, "The Arts of Peace" and "The Arts of War" were Mr. Melchers' creation. In October of 1895 the executive committee of the Field Colombian Museum in Chicago responded to President Angell's request that the pictures representing the arts of war and peace be given to the University. The Board of Regents accepted the paintings and in 1896 had them placed on each side of the stage in University Hall. (University Hall was completed in 1870 and was located where Angell Hall now stands. It was the old center for University activities before Hill Auditorium was built in 1913.) In 1918 it was decided that these murals would be placed over the windows in the main reading room of the new general library."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"The paintings were done in oil on canvas. In "The Arts of Peace", according to the World Colombian Exposition, "Every figure seems bent on acquiring knowledge. Even the mother takes time from the care of her babe and becomes an interested listener to words of wisdom. The student, the philosopher, the sage, the maiden and the youth are all represented as worshipers at the shrine of knowledge." In "The Arts of War", the same source explains, "The hunters are returning. Every figure shows the strong characteristics and muscular development caused by constant exercise and endurance. . ." Gari Melchers later painted murals for the Library of Congress and the Detroit Public Library in which he treated these same subjects in a different manner."

Reference Room Stained Glass Windows
Description
An account of the resource
D'Ascenzo, born in Toricella, Italy in 1871, came to the U.S. in 1882. He created windows for the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, National Cathedral, and the west window of Princeton University Chapel. D'Ascenzo was presented with the gold medal award from the New York Architectural League. [3]
In September of 1906 Theodore W. Koch, Librarian, gave four stained glass windows by Nicola D'Ascenzo to the Library. A set of three windows, two of which are pictured above, were originally made for the Booklover's Library of Philadelphia. They are now located on the south wall of the Reading Room. The fourth window, the ship under full sail, was made a memorial to Edward Lorraine Walter - a distinguished faculty member who was lost at sea on the French steamer La Bourgogne. This window now hangs in the North Hatcher second floor corridor at the entrance to the Reading Room. [3]

South Lobby Athena woodblocks
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The artwork in the South Lobby of Hatcher is the work of Jim Cogswell, Associate Professor at the UM School of Art and Design. The images in the woodblocks, printed in colors characteristic of ancient Greek vases, represent the Greek goddess of Wisdom, Athena, to whom the Parthenon is dedicated.</p>
<p>The woodblocks complement the Parthenon Frieze replica on the second floor of Hatcher. The woodblock prints and the images of the Elgin marbles (not pictured) were created for a 1995 exhibit in the Nashville Parthenon, the only existing full scale replica of the Athenian Parthenon.
