John Vaughan Library gets new sign
The Library got a new sign as part of new signage going up all over campus. Unfortunately, it contains a common misspelling of the name "Vaughan".
John Samuel Vaughan was the 9th President of Northeastern State University from 1936-1951. Under his leadership, the first free standing library building was built on the Tahlequah Campus.
From Northeastern: Centennial History by Dr. Brad Agnew:
Vaughan began his new duties immediately and welcomed the students at the first assembly of the school year on Wednesday, September 9 [1936], urging them to have a “friendly college” and to “smile and speak to everyone.” Throughout his entire administration, Vaughan emphasized the “friendliness” of Northeastern, and promoted the school as “The Friendly College.”
From the University Catalog: JOHN VAUGHAN LIBRARY. Originally constructed as a two-story building in 1948 and expanded to three stories in 1966, this building was renovated in 1996. The buildings electrical and telecommunications infrastructure has been updated and expanded to serve the demands of information technology. With 120,000 square feet of space, seating for 600, 60 publicly accessible computer workstations and terminals, and more than 50,000 feet of linear shelf space, the John Vaughan Library meets the American Library Association/Association of College and Research Libraries space and seating standards. The east wing of the library, renovated in 1998, houses the library archives and university records and the office of Assessment Services.
