Linda Eoline Landon was the first female instructor at M.A.C., its “beloved librarian” beginning in 1891, and “presided for a third of a century over a growing collection of books and periodicals that was one of the best among independent land-grant colleges.”[Kestenbaum, p. 60] The library’s rapid growth during her reign resulted in the building of a brand-new Library in 1924.
Mrs. Linda E. Landon “presides” in the Library–Museum circa 1896.
