Caldwell Hall

The Medical School moved to Caldwell Hall in 1912. A large room in the back of the lecture hall was designated for the Medical Library Room. Dean Isaac Manning and the University Librarian Louis Round Wilson collaborated to move the medical collection of around 2800 volumes into the new facility.

The 1920 Medical School Annual Report notes that: "The Medical Room Library was looked after by Dean Manning's secretary." This is the first mention of custodial care for the Medical library. We do not know the identity of this first secretary-librarian.
