A beautiful new look at the center of the Hilltop

Above, guests admire the new statue of George Washington installed outside the south entrance of Olin Library, which was rededicated May 7 in a ceremony attended by about 800 people.

Guests celebrate in the new “Whispers Café,” which features a handmade “tree.”

Addressing the audience as part of the rededication ceremonies is keynote speaker Neil Rudenstine, head of ARTstor and former president of Harvard University.

Shirley K. Baker, vice chancellor for information technology and dean of University Libraries, also addresses the audience.
