About this postcard

A stone library building with a steep roof and a small cupola stands among bare winter trees at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. The view dates from the university's early years, when the new campus was taking shape in suburban Waltham. Brandeis was founded in 1948 as a non-sectarian, Jewish-sponsored university, and its first classes met that year. The library was among the campus buildings serving the young institution.
