Quote: The E. H. Little Library, planned for the future, has many links with the past. The literary societies, which had assembled the first libraries at Davidson as early as the 1830's, were memorialized with handsome insignia at either end of the loggia. The Peter Stuart Ney seal in handsome brass ornaments the entrance lobby. The Davidsoniana Room, containing publications by and about Davidsonians, is handsomely appointed, as is the Rare Book Room, dedicated to the memory of the four Smith brothers, all Davidson alumni.

Named for: E. H. Little, president and chairman of the board of Colgate-Palmolive Company.
