SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1932. Volume 3. Number 1

Common Rooms

Common Rooms.

As the result of a glorious rag in the dying stages of the 1931 Session, a Committee was set up with the sanction of the Professorial Board in an endeavour to ameliorate the conditions in the Men's Common Room. The Committee proceeded to collect funds for the redecorating of the room, and succeeded very well in their difficult task. As a result of strenuous labours with the paint-brush, the walls have been brightened up and the heaters of tender memory look amazingly transformed by a coating of bronze. Mr. Brook materially assisted the committee, and it is largely due to his efforts that the Common Room is now dignified by a picture rail. As yet the Committee has no pictures to hang, but hopes to obtain several which have been supplanted in the Women's Common Room by those obtained through the late Mrs Hannah's splendid bequest. We hope that students who wish to do themselves and their fellows a good turn will take the hint and provide the walls and the room itself with pictures and furniture worthy of a University College. If students will pull their weight, the Committee's hopes of having a Common Room worthy of the name to show our guests at Easter will be realized. Readers who wish to do their bit by way of gifts, whether in cash only or in kind, will find the names of the Committee posted on the Common Room Notice Hoard, and bearers of the said names will be panting with eagerness to receive manifestations of student goodwill by way of largesse.
