Library should be the most beautiful building in a university. It's no exception for a distinguished university like Yale university.
Located in the center of Yale campus rises a very tall Gothic building-a stunning beauty: Sterling Memorial Library, the largest library of Yale. It was founded in 1918 by John William Sterling, a rich Yale alumnus who donated $17 million dollars for the library. Both the inside and outside of Sterling Memorial Library are very gorgeous. In front of the library, there is large area of lawn. According to the introduction of the people working in there are about 11 or 12 libraries in Yale.

A lovely tribute to a lovely place...and I learned something...had no idea they spend $17 million in 1916....do you know the value of that amount at that time?? Unbelievable!
