Text Appearing Before Image:
till,Forget thyself to marble. . . . At the head of the stairs, on the wall landing, is Elihu Vedders colossal mosaic (inglass) of Minerva — Goddess of Wisdom — perhaps the grandest single object among thelibrary decorations. This mosaic forms an arched panel, 153^ feet highand 9 feet wide, bordered by a design of laurel branches. The figure of The YeddcrMinerva is that of a magnificent — almost masculine — woman, a I^OSaic. chieftainess whose armor has been partly laid aside, and who nowaddresses her mind to the arts of peace.

Text Appearing After Image:
ENDYMION.—By H.O.Walker. contemplates with attention and benignant gaze an unfolded scroll upon which shereads the names of branches of knowledge — Law, Statistics, Sociology, Philosophy,and the Sciences. The whole is grand and stately in conception, bold in drawing, andglowing in color, especially when seen by electric light. Passing up this staircase, and turning either to the left or right (where there areentrances to elevators), the visitor passes through doors admitting him to the publicgallery of the Rotunda.
