The whole of the ceiling is richly carved. A small second-floor balcony and a number of windows on the west side, at an eye's level above a concealed passage, permit a close inspection of the whole. In the west passage leading to the Great Hall a bust of Professor Charles Eliot Norton has been placed in a niche, the gift of his pupil, Dr. James Loeb...
