The SororityGreat Columbia Book Slide of 1934

By Sadie Stein

Look

In 1934, Columbia University moved its twenty-two miles of books to the newly built Butler Library. By means of a really long slide. Which actually looks less fun than it sounds, and was much too shallow for human use. (Which is probably good, considering this was on a college campus.)

Not to be confused with the recreational-use book slide from the Panorama House:
