| NAMESAKE | |||
|
|||
| Thomas B. Lockwood (1873-1947) was a Buffalo attorney who served on the University Council for 28 years. A legendary book lover, he amassed what was known as the finest collection of rare books, first editions and manuscripts in the region. The Lockwood family generously contributed $400,000 toward the original Lockwood library-now the Health Sciences Library in Abbott Hall on the South Campus (1933). The Lockwood Memorial Library name was placed on the new library, in recognition of the original endowment. |  |
