chesTer friTz library

For.50.years.the.Chester.Fritz.Library.has.served.as.the.heart.of.intellectual.inquiry.and.discovery.at.the.Univer-sity.of.North.Dakota.

Providing.adequate.library.facilities.had.been.a.major.challenge.for.the.University.since.its.founding...The.problem.became.critical.with.the.tremendous.enrollment.growth.that.followed.World.War.II.

As.the.University.celebrated.its.75th.anniversary.in.1958,.a.former.student.stepped.up.with.an.announcement.that.heralded.a.new.era.for.students.and.faculty.alike...Chester.Fritz,.an.interna-tional.bullion.trader.who.had.attended.UND.from.1908.to.1910,.announced.the.gift.of.$1.million.to-ward.construction.of.a.new.library.building...It.was.the.first.million-dollar.gift.in.the.University’s.history.

The.Chester.Fritz.Library.was.dedicated.on.Oct..13,.1961...In.his.brief.remarks,.Fritz.noted.that.the.library.represented.a.“long.reach.into.the.future.….For.it.is.my.fervent.hope.that.this.will.become.a.library.of.distinction,.a.library.that.will.be.a.working.center.for.ideas.”

When.the.Chester.Fritz.Library.opened,.UND’s.enroll-ment.was.4,784...Through.the.1960s.and.1970s,.enrollment.would.grow.dramatically,.along.with.the.University’s.research.mission.and.graduate.education.program...The.need.for.significant.expansion.of.library.facilities.became.acute.

The.1979.session.of.the.North.Dakota.Legislature.appro-priated.$4.5.million.for.an.addition.that.would.double.the.size.of.the.library...Ground.was.broken.on.Sept..3,.1980;.the.expanded.and.fully.renovated.library.was.dedicated.on.Oct..9,.1982.

As.needs.and.media.have.continued.to.evolve,.so.too.has.the.Chester.Fritz.Library...Its.resources.serve.a.wide.range.of.audiences.on.and.off.campus.and.throughout.the.region...Even.so,.those.who.first.walked.into.the.new.Chester.Fritz.Library.50.years.ago.would.still.recognize.its.atmosphere,.mission,.and.dedication.to.the.spirit.of.learning.
