Sterling Memorial Library  [ edit ]

The entrance to the Sterling Memorial Library contains several quotes concerning literature and scholarship, including a quote in Egyptian hieroglyphs from an ancient literary text (ca. 1800 BCE): “I shall cause you to love writing more than your mother, I shall cause its perfection to enter before you. Indeed, it (being a scribe) is the greatest of all professions.”
