Glenn G. Bartle exhibit now on view in Special Collections

Glenn G. Bartle, for whom the library building at Binghamton University was renamed 40 years ago, was a geologist, professor and college administrator. In the 1950s, he became president of Harpur College, which then became SUNY at Binghamton in 1965.
Bartle was instrumental in the development of what has become a preeminent public university. An exhibit on view until February 15, 2019 in Special Collections examines his early training and career as a geologist, his expanding roles in higher education, and the transformative years during which he led the campus and academic programs at the university into new realms. An auxiliary exhibit outside of Special Collections surveys the development of what is now the Glenn G. Bartle Library.

Special Collections is located on the second floor of the Glenn G. Bartle Library (off of the North Reading Room). Our hours are Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

The exhibit was curated by Joe Schill, Special Collections graduate intern, and Yvonne Deligato, University Archivist. The poster was designed by Ben Coury, University Libraries’ Digital Web Designer.
