The floor Is carpeted, and on the walls arc pictures pic-tures of famous racers and a few old fashioned chromos. In' one corner Is a light Iron frame bed, and nearby, a bureau, washstand, a trunk, snd a small table on which are account books and a pair of field glasses. On the wall crossed American and Irish flags are hung, not because of patriotism pat-riotism or nationality, but a custom as fixed as are the college colors In a freshman's room.
