Then seats were assigned in the wooden seats in front of sections 37, and the rear seats under the roof along the centre of the field. Thus the College graduates asking for two seats have the following sections: the wooden seats in front of sections 37 and 28, the seats in the parapet (under the roof) in sections 27-37 inclusive, and the seats in sections 16 to 27, inclusive...

The walls are perfectly sound, as are the steel floor beams, and in most cases the floors. The frame-work of the roof is badly charred. The partition walls on the fourth floor must be rebuilt.
