On Contemplating the New Library and Technology Center
written by Joel Segall
Age 71
iambic tetrameter
| The seventh floor across the street |
| Did not provide a place to meet |
| Computers? Several blocks away |
| And lots of students night and day |
| No room to read or just relax |
| Few chairs to ease the students backs |
| No space for acquisitions there |
| The floor below or anywhere |
| A problem that was even greater |
| Just one reluctant elevator |
| But look at what Baruch has now |
| What fiber optics will allow |
| Computer labs and media room |
| And room and room and room and room |
| And for the tasteful things therein |
| The credit goes to-- Marilyn |
| Don Farley was a major force |
| Lou Davis was a great resource |
| I think that it is now the time |
| To finish with this labored rhyme |
| Yet one more thing I would observe |
| That profs and students both deserve |
| The physical facilities |
| That match their own abilities |
| However grand this building be |
| It suits Baruch's high quality |
| This shows what can be done with wealth |
| Now use the building in good health |
