SEIBERT HALL HIS building, named in honor of Mr. Samuel Seibert, through whose generosity its erection was made possible is conceded to be the most beautiful building on the University campus. The School of Business occupies a large room in the basement, the balance of which is divided into small rooms for the use of the students in music as practice rooms. The first floor contains a spacious parlor for the young ladies, the studios of the teachers in the Conservatory, the recital hall and Lewers dining hall. The second and third floors are used as dormitories for the young ladies. The building is very attractive in its appointments, the ladies ' parlor with its open fireplace is very cheerful and home-like so that every young lady who resides in this building is immediately made to feel at home in her new sur- roundings at college.
