Description |
To find funding when money was scarce, Library Director Priscilla M. Mayden worked with Dean Kenneth Castleton to secure private and federal funding to start the project. Following up on a golf course conversation that Dean Castleton had with his friend and prominent Ogden citizen Spencer S. Eccles, he and Utah businessman Reed Brinton made a house call to Eccles. As a result, Eccles and his family carried the library to the finish line with $250,000 in funding. Finally, on October 4, 1971, the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library was dedicated. |
