The above quote is from Jay Z. James (Class of 1969). Read the full memory below:

From Spring Semester 1966 until graduation I worked at the Rock. I started in the sweat shop behind the circulation desk, but I gradually moved to the cushier jobs at the Humanities and Social Studies reading rooms. My senior year, 1968-69, I had the amazing luck to run the record library down in the stacks. I got to check out and restack the library’s classical-music record collection. I would have hung out there even if they hadn’t been paying me $1.25 an hour!
