MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE NEW LIBRARY Showing the typical entrance details of one of the major Georgian buildings on the South Campus. Beautiful entrance doorways are traditionally characteristic of the Georgian style and in the new University buildings this tradition is being given due consideration. The inscriptions above the three portals are as follows: The central portal: The University Library Erected by The State of Illinois For the Advancement of Learning Anno Domini MCMXXIV The portal at the right: The Hope of Democracy Depends on The Diffusion of Knowledge and Wisdom The portal at the left: The Whole World Here Unlocks The Experience of the Past To the Builders of the Future
