. . It A rt V fXCl'XXgXIli l Eton, Harrow. Rugby, Xlestminster, and Cheltenham. The six Amer- ican schools represented on these painted shields are .Xndover. Exeter. St. Paul's at Concord, N. H.: Hotchkiss, Lawrenceville, and Klercers- burg. Immediately over the front door which leads directly into the Reception Hall are carved in Indiana limestone the arms of three schools. Immediately above the point of the arch are the arms of Kler- cersburg. To the left are the arms of XYinchester, the mother school of all institutions of this type in the world, XYinchester having been founded in the year 1787 by XYilliam of XYyckham. To the right of the Mercersburg arms, as one enters the building, are seen the arms of Phillips Exeter. Dr. Irvine, our Head Master, received his preparatory training at Exeter and brought the Exeter ideal to Mercersburg nearly thirty years ago. In the large reception room where parents will first bring their boys when the latter are enrolled, will be placed certain of the school por- traits. In this room also the large palms which are now in Keil Hall. and at North Cottage will be used for decorative effect. The other room in the Administration Building upon which especial care has been bestowed in the way of decoration is the Head Masters room. This room occupies the top fioor of the entire southern wing of the building. It is sixteen feet six inches wide and twenty-nine feet nine inches long. It has a canopy ceiling, also a high oak wainscot and an open fireplace. The large Gothic window, which, in a measure, fills the southern wall of this room, is unusually attractive. Great care will be taken in furnishing the various offices and rooms in the .Xdministra- tion Building. In beautifying the reception room and the Head Masters room it has been kept in mind that the fXdministration Building will be used for certain functions in connection with the school's social activities which heretofore has not been possible. The grading and the planting about the building will be studied with great care. A professional horticulturist has been engaged by the llcad Master to help make these plans. It is intended to plant this whole front section of the campus in such a way that it will be one of the most beautiful spots in the entire Cumberland Valley, The new Administration Building when finished will be very beauti- ful: it will fill a long-felt need in the organization of the sehoolg in larger measure than can be said of any other building on the campus it will bc erected by the subscriptions of the boys themselves.
