On top of the cases are numer

priceless value, while on the wal

work Of the institution.
High up on the wall on little shell
is massive bust of Benjamin Frank

of the bookcases there are two bronze
figures modelled after statues found In
the ruins of Herculaneum. which was
destroyed by Vesuvius.
What has proved of great interest
is II model of the first college buildings
