On one side of this partition will be a bath-room, with two baths and five lavatoirs, a janitor's room, and a large club-room; on the other, there will be twenty-six lockers arranged in five rows...

The objections to the inconvenience in referring to books, caused by the narrowness of the passages, are overcome by the placing of desks opposite the end of each passage, at which one can sit and read.

The width of the main part of the wing is about thirty-four feet, but the ground-floor is to be extended nineteen feet on the south side, and will...
