Work Description: 
Interior of classroom with many chairs. Transom windows at front - windows without transoms at far end. There is a piano at the left. This looks as though it could be in the original 1884 wing of the Medical building which was used by the Law School before Law moved to Hale in 1895. This wing was the south wing and it appears that the camera was facing south. Note light coming in end windows. The calendar on the wall is just barely visible. It is from the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad and it shows a 28 day month with the first being on a Wednesday. This is February 1882, 1893, 1899, 1905, 1911, 1922. The building I guess this to be was not built in 1884; the first date could be 1893. The picture in the President's office 23-1 is Feb. 1893, so this is probably Feb. 1893. "Glory Colorado", pg. 85: "The Law School in 1893 was located in the old Hospital building, which was called Kent Hall at the time". April 6, 1892, Regents decided to open Law School. In Oct. 1892, Baker reported, "The Hospital has been converted into a Dormitory and Lecture Hall for the Law School". This building was later used by the College of Music and was torn down ~ 1953 when the University Memorial Center was built. Apparently Brackett took a number of pictures around the campus in Feb. 1893 in preparation for the Columbian Exposition in which the University had a display of photographs. When this picture is heavily overexposed in printing one can see the peak of a tent (!) out the window above the calendar, and part of the brick wings of the building in the two windows on either side of the bookcase, and a house out the right window. Note the ornate chandelier (!) and the trap door to the attic.
