Groundbreaking Ceremonies — 1/16/64 “The earth was frozen so hard at this morning’s ground-breaking ceremonies for the new Albright College library that Charles J. Gordon Jr., second from right, college treasurer, had to use an air hammer to dent the surface. Wielding the shovel to no avail at lef is LeRoy Withers, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Others are Dr. Josephine Raeppel, second from lef, librarian, and Grant S. Burkey, general contractor for the project.” Source: READING EAGLE/TIMES original photo and capton
