A photographic print of a pen and ink sketch done by Vernon Howe Bailey, noted architectural artist, of Springfield College's (then the International YMCA College) Marsh Memorial Library. This image was used as the cover illustration of an edition of New York Central Railroad's university dining car menu series. Marsh Memorial served as the College’s library until the opening of Babson Library in 1971. After Babson Library was opened, Marsh Memorial was renovated for other uses. A chapel was developed in the large room in Marsh which already contained stained glass windows. Marsh is still used for religious purposes today, offering regular worship services for members of the college. Other offices the building houses are the President’s office, the Office of Academic Affairs, and the Department of Public Safety.
