The above quote is from Ivo Mijnssen (Class of 2005). Read the full memory below:

Not only the availability of books determines the quality of a library but also the availability of comfortable chairs. Especially if you have to read eight-hundred-page-books for history classes or spend days writing research papers, a comfortable chair is essential. The Rock always had the best chairs, but you had to be there early: the most adjustable, most modern and most comfortable chairs in the reading rooms were in high demand. Anyway, I always loved those chairs. And as I would spend weeks working on uncomfortable chairs in Russian archives and libraries during my PhD research phase later on, I really learned to appreciate the privilege of doing my undergraduate research at the Rock.
