The Library of Columbia University, also
called the Seth Low Library, was opened for
use in 1897, the gift of President Low. The
architectural style is classical, based on
Roman precedents, but with many sugges-
tions of Greek Refinements in its details. It
holds a commanding position on the brow of
the hill at Morningside Heights and is the
focal point of the general campus layout. It
has an estimated capacity of 1,500,000
volumes.
