REDECORATE TROPHY ROOM

Paintings of Graduates From College Halls Replace Old Pictures.

In order to make the Trophy Room of the Union a more attractive and congenial meeting place, the management has transferred the pictures of athletic teams which formerly decorated the walls, to positions along the stairways, and is hanging in their stead a number of paintings borrowed from Memorial Hall, Fogg Museum, and other college buildings.
