Construction of Meyer Library in 1965. Haven't you always wished that you could just look up from your studying in the lobby and enjoy the view of Hoover Tower?
"Meyer Tech Desk! Can we help you?" Okay, this isn't really the Tech Desk. It's the old Language Lab! The Language Lab used to be in the place of the current 24-Hour Study Room.
It's the Stanford Band, up to its old tricks again. Maybe this photo helps you understand why the 3rd and 4th floors eventually were fitted with the famous "suicide" windows.
During the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, not only did students not bother to reshelve the books in their hasty attempts to evacuate the building, but some books also fell under the influence of natural forces. Photo Credit: Ed Souza / Stanford News Service. 
Need some fresh air? Try the Meyer Terrace, conveniently located on the 4th floor. Unfortunately, it is no longer always open to the public. And the Stanford Band is currently banned from using the lofty space after this year's unwelcome trespass. 
Beanbags were all the rage in the new experimental "Flexible Class-Lab" (Meyer 220) when it first open. Sadly, beanbag after beanbag vanished from the classroom over the next decade or so, so that eventually students had no choice but to return to oh-so-conventional chairs for their classroom discussions. Some Meyer staff keep beanbags in their cubicles in commemoration of this once-glorious model of classroom innovation. (And no, they are definitely, definitely, not the same beanbags...)
