John W. Long Library (1951-1968, Long Administration Building 1968)

Photo of the beginning of construction of John W. Long Library (now Long Hall administration building). This view is from the west side of Clarke Chapel and Music Building across the south end of the Quad, where the tennis courts were located. Also visible on the east side of the center of the Quad are the Bleachers, and the construction site to the right of the bleachers. Long Library was built in 1950-51, and named in honor of John W. Long, president of Williamsport Dickinson Seminary, which later became Lycoming College, from 1921-1955. The clock face was installed in the tower in 1959. The building was home to the library until 1968, when the Academic Center was constructed. It now is the residence of administrative offices.
