The facilities of the Center include a large common room (600 square feet) comfortably furnished, an adjoining seminar room (300 square feet), twelve faculty offices equipped with computers and telephones, and two carrels. Lockers will be available for those without offices. Coffee, tea, and sherry will be provided. Although there will be no food service, all Fellows will have dining privileges at the Graduate Club next door and are to pay the Graduate Club directly for food and beverages by cash or check.

The faculty offices will be assigned by the Director after consultation with the Center’s Advisory Board. Assignment of offices will be based on need and participation in the activities of the Center, principally those having to do with teaching. It is anticipated that these offices will be held initially for a term of two years, with the possibility of renewal, and then rotated to other emeriti. Offices are being provided for the primary purposes of teaching for the Center, conducting personal research and writing.

The Center normally will be open Monday through Friday from 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. throughout the academic year, and at other times for special functions. It will be closed on University holidays and recess days, and during July and August. The Fellows of the Center will have access to their offices at all times.

The Director and Members of the Board will welcome any comments or suggestions as to the organization and functioning of the Center.
