College Archives
This is a view from Drayer Balcony. This is another
place for students to come and visit especially when the weather is nice.
From the top of the balcony one can see the whole residential quadrangle,
High Street and the Dickinson School of Law, which is located in the background
of this picture. Currently, in 1999, a very popular outdoor stage
for musical events.

Another photo of another lounge. This one was located
in the basement. Again one can see how big these lounges really were.
The increase in the size of the student body over the past few decades
has seen these area broken up into residence rooms, sadly.
