About the Ricker Library of Architecture and Art at the University of Illinois: The foundation for the University of Illinois Library’s architecture and art collections was laid by the country’s first college graduate of architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign professor Nathan Clifford Ricker (1843-1924), who in 1873 purchased several important architectural treatises and folios. The University’s Board of Trustees in 1917 authorized the Library to name the unit in Professor Ricker’s honor.
