dc.description	This is among the last photographs of the Battle Creek College Library, published in the Enquirer and News on Feb. 26, 1978. The Sanitarium Hospital razed the building at Manchester Street and North Washington Avenue to make way for a $3 million administrative wing. It was 50 years prior that local citizens and students raised $165,508 in one day toward the goal of $250,000 to build the new library. "Looking Back" columnist Amy South wrote in the May 7, 1978, edition of the Enquirer and News that Battle Creek College closed in 1938, its assets transferred to the Race Betterment Foundation 1945. In 1949, Helen Warner accepted about 2,000 books from the library's collection on behalf of Willard Library.	en_US
