 The Emeriti
Center
The Emeriti
Association moved in to the new Emeriti Center in late spring 1999. The
center is located in Pollak Library S170. That's the southeast corner of
Library South, first floor (some will remember the location as the
one-time office for the Library administration and Ernest Toy,
librarian). We have two rooms: the outer room holds a conference table,
one desk, side chairs, and a computer linked to the campus network. A
locked closet holds supplies, including a coffee maker and other
miscellany. The inner room, which serves as the office for the
president of the Emeriti, has two desks, including the first desk used
by the university's first president, William Langsdorf.
Members on campus
(when the Library is open) may gain access to the center by going to the
Library administration office, second floor, and identifying themselves.
The facilities of the Center will serve well for small group
meetings--for study, discussion, board games, whatever. To schedule your
meeting, call the Emeriti Center (714-278-2675) and leave a message on
the answering machine.
The center's
computer has several software programs installed to facilitate research.
The computer uses the same software packages supplied to other
university users, including Microsoft Office 2003, XP operating system,
and McAfee virus detection programs. An ink jet printer is part of the
set up. As part of the university's network, users may search the World
Wide Web, check their email on Outlook, compose documents in Word or
Excel, access on-line library resources, and even find Solitaire games.
The graphic on
this page depicts the "Weathervane" sculpture, donated to the
university by the artist,
Dextra Frankel, emeritius professor of art. The sculpture is located on
campus in the grove
west of the Pollak Library and north of the Performing Arts Center.
