The Andersen Library at the University of Minnesota opens, named in honor of Elmer L. Andersen, former governor, university regent, and bibliophile. Library materials from around the state are stored in two manmade caverns, each two stories high and two football fields long, carved into the sandstone bluffs along the Mississippi River.
