The Robbins Library is also home to the Koller-Collins Center for English Studies, a reference collection for literary study. This collection comprises major reference materials and handbooks for literary history, critical theory, the history of the book, and the digital humanities.
In its early years the Union included dining services (main and private dining halls, a cafeteria and a grill), a general store (selling such things as athletic equipment, stationery, supplies, miscellaneous necessities and novelties), student organization offices and other campus luxuries (a barber shop, a tailor shop, a coat room, a post office and lounges/community rooms).
Alterations in 1946 resulted in the former general store being converted into a bakeshop. The building was greatly remodeled in 1955 to serve more fully as a student activities center with the merger of the mens and womens campuses. These renovations included the grill room becoming a snack bar, the first floor kitchen converted into a music library and lounge, as well as the creation of a new WRUR studio.
Additionally dining facilities moved from Todd to the Mens Dining Center (currently Douglass Commons). Following the 1976 opening of Wilson Commons the nature of Todd changed yet again: the snack bar was converted into a bank and former co-curricular areas became purely academic and administrative. In 1983 the former main dining hall was converted into a theater. The building currently hosts the International Theater Program and the Linda E. Sloan Studio for the Dance and Movement Program.
Opened in 1930 with the other original River Campus buildings, the Student Union was dedicated in honor of George W. Todd, 1860-1936, who first envisioned the possibilities of the original Oak Hill golf course as a new campus location, and the Greater University movement (serving as general chairman of the campaign organization).

Thomas H. Jackson, President of the University of Rochester from 1994 to 2005, also holds faculty positions in the University's Department of Political Science and in the William E. Simon Graduate School of Business Administration.
Before he became Rochester's ninth president, Jackson was vice president and provost of the University of Virginia, which he first joined in 1988 as dean of Virginia's School of Law. He had been professor of law at Harvard from 1986 to 1988 and served on the Stanford University faculty from 1977 to 1986.
A 1972 graduate of Williams College, Jackson earned his law degree from Yale in 1975. He first clerked for U.S. District Court Judge Marvin E. Frankel in New York in 1975-76, and then for Supreme Court Justice (now Chief Justice) William H. Rehnquist in 1976-77.
President Jackson is the author of bankruptcy and commercial law texts used in law schools across the country, and served as Special Master for the U.S. Supreme Court in a dispute involving every state in the country over the disposition of unclaimed dividends held by brokerage houses.
Like David Jayne Hill, our second president, Dennis O'Brien came to us from the presidency of Bucknell University. Inauguration of President O'Brien took place on October 1, 1984.
President O'Brien's administration saw the opening of a number of important facilities, including the Computer Studies Building with its Carlson Library, and Schlegel Hall on the River Campus; the new Sibley Library, Eastman Student Living Center, and Cominsky Tower at the Eastman School of Music; a major addition to the Memorial Art Gallery, and the beginning of a major addition to the Medical Center complex.
Innovative academic programs were instituted during the O'Brien years, including the Take Five Program.
From 1987 to 1990, an annual week-long Rochester Conference was hosted by the University. The topics were Creation, Time, Power and Pleasure. Speakers included Steven Jay Gould, Derek Walcott, Alfred Kazin, Marge Piercy, Harlan Ellison, Robert Bly, John Cage, William Shatner, and The Amazing Randi.
Some of the events during the course of Dennis O'Brien's presidency 1984-1993:
Robert Sproull served as the seventh President of the University from 1970 to 1984 and as chief executive from 1975 to 1984. A physicist, he came to Rochester from Cornell University as our provost in 1968. His administration saw the University maintain its programs and even grow in significant ways during what was generally a difficult period for American higher education.
Two very popular buildings opened during President Sproull's administration, Wilson Commons, replacing Todd Union as the student union, and Zornow Center, greatly enlarging the athletic facilities.
In 1999, Robert L. and Mary L. Sproull endowed the position of Dean of the College Faculty.
Alan Valentine (1901-1980), our youngest president at age thirty-four, came to Rochester from Yale University in 1935. His fifteen-year administration saw the final years of the great depression, the many stresses and dislocations of the Second World War, and the surging enrollment that greatly taxed University facilities after the War.
According to George Eastman's will, the Eastman House was left to the University, to be used as the home of UR presidents. President and Mrs. Rush Rhees lived there from 1932 to 1935. Alan Valentine was in residence with his family from 1935 to 1948, when the House was established as an International Museum of Photography.
Stating that he had always planned to stay only for ten years, but that the War caused him to defer his plans, Alan Valentine submitted his resignation in November, 1949 to the Board of Trustees. Valentine had taken a year's leave of absence to become chief of Economic Cooperation (better known as the Marshall Plan) in The Netherlands, the birthplace of our fifth president.
Rush Rhees (1860-1939) came to the University in 1900 -- we had been without a president for four years -- and was the second of our presidents to serve thirty-five years. The year 1900 also saw the addition of a new building to the Prince Street Campus -- a long awaited gymnasium. One of its first uses was for Rhees' inauguration.
American mobilization for the First World War severely disrupted academic life at the University. Freshman Willard A. Goodwin, wrote to his mother: "When I went to the office to ask for my room, they told me that all reservations for rooms had been cancelled as the dorm was to be made into a barracks Oct. 1st or whenever military training begins." Enrollment of men and women, which had hit a peak of 578 in 1916, declined precipitously, with a low of only 56 men in the fall of 1918.
The decade of the 1920s was pivotal in the evolution of the University from what was essentially a college to a true University. In 1920, the campus consisted of the buildings on the Prince Street Campus. By late 1921, the die had been cast: the School of Music was under construction, the Medical Center was well into the planning stages, and the Board of Trustees had voted to keep the Prince Street Campus for the College of Women and build a new campus for the College for Men on the site of the Oak Hill Country Club.
The first manifestation of the great expansion of he University under Rush Rhees was the opening of the Eastman School of Music in the fall of 1921. The Eastman Theater opened a year later.
David Jayne Hill (1850-1932) came to the Presidency of the University of Rochester from the Presidency of the University of Lewisburg (now Bucknell University) in 1889 and served until 1896. His comparatively brief administration saw the weakening of the University's ties to the Baptist Church and the liberalization of the curriculum.
October, 1891, University leaders and other influential Rochester citizens gathered at the home of Susan B. Anthony to honor Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Much criticism was voiced on the University's continuing policy of not admitting women. President Hill, who had just become the father of twins –a girl and a boy -- remarked that "if the Creator could risk placing sexes in such near relations…they might with safety walk on the same campus and pursue the same curriculum together." Despite Hill's blessing on co-education, it was another nine years before women were admitted to the University.
After their service to the University, some of our presidents have retired, while others have pursued new careers. Hill, who was in his mid-40s when he left Rochester, was later Assistant Secretary of State, Minister to Switzerland, and Ambassador to Germany. He also wrote extensively on political science.
From our early years onward, many campus buildings have been named to honor faculty, staff, alumni, trustees and supporters of the University. David Jayne Hill Court was dedicated in 1969.
"The college president is expected to be a vigorous writer and public speaker. He must be able to address all sorts of audiences upon all sorts of subjects. He must be a financier able to extract money from the hoards of misers, and to hold his own with the trained denizens of Wall Street. He must be attractive in general society, a scholar among scholars; distinguished in some one or two departments of learning; gentle and kindly as a woman in his relations to the students, and still be able to quiet a 'row' with the pluck and confidence of a New York Chief-of-Police."
- Martin B. Anderson
Martin Brewer Anderson (1815-1890) became the first president of the University in 1853 and served until 1888. His starting salary was $1,800 per year.
In 1861 he oversaw the University's move to what later became known as the Prince Street Campus. At the time of his retirement in 1888, the University had three buildings and 172 students.
Prior to Anderson becoming President in 1853, the leadership of the University was undertaken by Ira Harris, who served as Chancellor, a position later held by W. Allen Wallis one hundred and twenty years later.
No dormitories were built during Anderson's tenure as President. He regarded them as places with "every facility for the propagation of evil principles and habits." Instead, students found housing with Rochester families, and occasionally even lived temporarily with Anderson and his family. The President's House on the Prince Street Campus stood at 440 University Avenue.
Anderson Hall was the first building erected on the Prince Street Campus. When it was being built in 1861, President Anderson used a hammer to "test" the blocks of stone being used in the construction. This apparently annoyed the contractor, but Anderson was undeterred; the first UR president later told Professor Fairchild (who donated the hammer to the University Archive) that he "stuck to the job." Anderson Hall stands firm to this day, although it is no longer owned by the University.
The cost of Anderson Hall was approximately $38,000, and from the start was named for President Anderson. A trustees resolution at the time stated that "...the new home...mainly obtained by the zeal, the labors, and the self-sacrificing spirit of its noble-hearted president" would bear Anderson's name.
