Cameron Corner
The Cameron Corner is a collection of books and a comfortable reading nook, located in the northeast corner of the fifth floor. The majority of the books belonged to the late Alex J. Cameron (1937–2003) an English professor at the University of Dayton and the official pronouncer of the Scripps National Spelling Bee from 1981 to 2002. The space was established to honor Cameron and his love of reading.
