Lined by busts of great thinkers -- Homer, Virgil, Aristophanes -- "Room 21" was known as the "Hall of Horrors" by undergraduates, as it served as the primary location for midterm and final exams. The interior, one student recalled, was "a maze of corridors and staircases, with a thoroughly unfathomable numbering system."
