HISTORY Ellis Library, constructed in 1915, stands as the main library of the University of Missouri. It was named in 1972 after the university’s former president Elmer Ellis (1954-1963). Today, the collection is comprised of over three million volumes and six million microforms. In the end, Ellis began as a solution for the rising number of students and continues to serve that very purpose. It holds a myriad of study stations, volumes of text for students, and an expanding online database.
