Half a dozen students, young men and women, are working together to set up sculptures in an art gallery. They are discussing the artwork, which consists of the upper bodies of mannequin-like figures perched on top of wires attached to a base. The half-mannequins have wigs and are holding dolls.<p><em>To browse through these photos, use your left and right arrow keys or click the sides of the photos. Press ESC to close.</em></p>

The Humanities Center lounge is furnished with two leather couches and two leather chairs. Bookcases line the walls, and artwork lines the tops of the bookcases. Two young men and two young women are seated around the coffee table, sharing a laugh as they discuss a book with a faculty member.<p><em>To browse through these photos, use your left and right arrow keys or click the sides of the photos.

A faculty member helps a young woman hold a large, gilded-edged book. His hands are covered in white gloves, as are the hands of the student. On the wall behind them hang large sepia-tone photographs of horses and carriages, mountains, ferry boats, and more. Three other young women are gathered around a table, carefully examining two massive books. They are enjoying the rare book collection in Meriam Library.<p><em>To browse through these photos, use your left and right arrow keys or click the sides of the photos. Press ESC to close.</em></p>

With just a few props, an old courtroom has been built on a stage. There is a wooden chair, which is occupied by a young man in pinstripe pants and a muave velvet coat. A white flower boutonniere sits above his handkerchief. Behind him are seated two more young men, one wearing a white wig and black longcoat, the other wearing a tan coat and white flower boutonniere. Between the seated men is a fourth man, addressing the audience and holding an open book. He too wears a white wig and long black coat. The expressions on their faces is stern, except for a small smile worn by the man in the muave coat.<p><em>To browse through these photos, use your left and right arrow keys or click the sides of the photos.
