Much painting, wiring, screening, and calsomining was done in the summer to brighten up the house. There are three main rooms on the first floor for the girls: a study room to be used strictly for that purpose^? equipped with tables and chairs; a reception room in which friends and parents may be entertained; and a lounge. In the lounge there is a piano, easy chairs, a couch, and tables for luncheon. Here the girls are allowed to sing, talk, eat and dance. There is also a kitchen with white enamel furniture for the use of any one who so desires. The upper story is occupied by Mrs. King, the chaperone, and four graduate students.
