Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-serving British monarch in history, has died at the age of 96. Elizabeth was 25 years old when she was crowned Queen in 1953, not much older than many of our Baylor students.   Many memories of her long history will be shared in the next few months, and in a quiet corner in the rare book room in Moody Library, original artifacts from her extraordinary coronation in 1953 are resting.
