Description: Helene Schlesinger recalls Queens College in 1948, when she was a student there. There was no library, only a prefabricated building. She used to sit out and read on the lawn, and remembers that there were few cars on campus. There were underground passageways connecting the buildings. The first new building was Remsen Hall, the science building, where she took classes as a Psychology major. None of the larger buildings that later came to campus were there yet and it was all open land from campus up to Main Street.
