...interior decoration and arrangement has been designed by Mr. La Rose. The style of decoration is that of Louis XV, and in color will be simllar to that of the Faculty room in University Hall. The walls are divided into panels which are to be painted by Mr. Martin Mower, of the department of Fine Arts, after the manner of Boucher. The arms of France, of Corneille and of Racine will be painted on the chimney piece by Mr. La Rose. The alcove, in which stood the lectum of the St. Paul's Society, is fitted with book cases...

On the front of the platform is the simple statement, "In memory of G. C. Felton...
