...University has always taken pride in the work of its Social Service Bureau. The department has gone about its work in a sound and business-like manner, as far removed as possible from the ordinary type of "drawing room" charity.

The rectangle between the two wings is to be developed as an ornamental courtyard enclosed by a garden wall, with cloister-like arcades upon two sides. The Romanesque Hall is about seventy feet long with a vaulted ceiling supported by pillars forming alcoves; and a cast of the "Golden Gate" to Freiberg Cathedral as its further end forms the entrance to the Gothic Hall beyond, which sufficiently represents the crossing and choir...
