Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Souvenir of the Dedication of the New York State Education Building: Albany, October 15, 16, 17, 1912
The need of a separate building, however, was not based entirely upon sentiment. There were sufficient reasons of a more practical nature. As the Department had grown and spread out, it had come to occupy rooms in widely separated parts of the Capitol and in other buildings in different sections of the city. The efficiency of the Department was seriously impeded and unity and discipline were nearly impossible. Its priceless collections of books and manuscripts and its valuable museum specimens were improperly housed and were in danger from fire.
