The UNIVERSITY LIBRARY (open 8 a.m.-12 midnight; Sun. 2 p.m.-12 midnight; summer 8 a.m.- 5 p.m.) is formed by the architecturally unhappy union of the Chancellor Green and Pyne Library buildings. The two brown sandstone structures are connected by a room containing the delivery desk and the card catalog.
The CHANCELLOR GREEN BUILDING, designed by William A. Potter and erected in 1873, is of Tudor Gothic design. The building contains the general reading room.
PYNE LIBRARY, the southern half of the combined structure, erected 1897 and also designed by Potter, is a heavy Victorian building. Most of the library's 900,000 volumes and 116,000 unbound pamphlets and periodicals are kept here. The library also has the Hutton collection of death masks, the William Seymour theater collection, almost 300 papyri, a collection of cuneiform tablets, and a large number of documents and other special collections.
