92 LIFE AND WORK OF DR. A. A. MURPHREE

 "Dr. Murphree was interested in the development of the
 University library," said Miss Miltimore, "for he felt that it
 affected every other department on the campus. He felt that
 the departments could not grow unless library facilities kept
 pace with them."
 There are now about thirty-six thousand volumes in the
 library, and in addition about twenty thousand documents,
 making the library as complete as that of any University the
 size of that of the University of Florida. There are three
 hundred eighty-five magazines and thirty newspapers for the
 use of faculty and students.
 The State Board of Architecture has provided a fund to
 purchase books on architecture and fine arts, and many vol-
 umes on these subjects have recently been added. The Ham-
 matt Memorial Engineering Library has made the University
 Library the depository for its books.

 Securing the Andrew Anderson Memorial Organ
 "Over his keys the musing organist,
 Beginning doubtfully and far away,
 First lets his fingers wander as they list,
 And builds a bridge from Dreamland for his lay:
 Then, as the touch of his beloved instrument
 Gives hope and fervor, nearer draws his theme,
 First guessed by faint auroral flushes sent
 Along the wavering vista of his dream."
 -JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL,
 in "The Vision of Sir Laum/a."
 Early in the summer of 1924, as the walls of the classic
chapel auditorium were being reared skyward and the build-
ing began to assume the familiar and pleasing proportions it
presents today, Dr. Murphree was escorting Dr. Andrew An-
derson of St. Augustine about the structure and pointing
with just pride to the noble plan upon which it was conceived.
Dr. Anderson had been a close friend and business associate
of the late railroad builder, Henry M. Flagler. With that
faith in the future and in the ways of Providence the Univers-
ity president frequently displayed, Dr. Murphree remarked
to Dr. Anderson he hoped some friend would be so generous
as to donate the funds for an organ that would be in keeping
with the rest of the chapel. He did not at the time have his
friend Dr. Anderson in mind, but shortly afterward Dr. Mur-
phree was surprised and delighted to receive a letter from him
