Administrative history
In 1908, a gift from Cyrus A. Birge and Andrew Carnegie made it possible to secure a library for Victoria University. A Library Building Committee was established that same year and given authority to employ and architect and consider a ground plan and specific library building plans. The Committee arranged for the construction and the necessary financial provisions. The Members of the Library Building Committee were Chancellor Burwash, Vice-Chancellor McLaren, C.C. James, J.R.L. Starr and A.E. Ames, Dr. Wallace, Professor A.E. Lang (Librarian), and Dr. Withrow.
Prior to this, the Property Committee had been acting as a library committee of the Board.
