This occupies the part of the second floor on the north side, over the large lecture room. Here are all the facilities for reading in quiet and consulting the large number of books which the law student finds to be necessary. Fifteen large tables, each one 15 feet long by 3 1/2 feet wide, are placed at regular intervals over the hall. Each table is to be provided with an adjustable standard, to facilitate...
