12. A Library reading-room at Earlsfort Terrace, Noveber 1957. This is the largest of
several scattered reading-rooms, none of the designed for library purposes, which have now (November 1959) been replaced by a more unified temporary College library, with much more adequate seating and storage space. In this picture students for whom there were no seats are seen standing; later it the year there would have been many more of these.

13. A class-room at Earlsfort Terrace. Overcrowding and continuous use render such rooms uncomfortable and unhealthy. The present plans of readaptation at Earlsfort Terrace provide a few more class-rooms, but only large-scale building can really solve the problem. In this picture students are seen crowded on the rostrum and against the blackboard.
