Kartell '24, head of Painting & Sculpture, are pictured in the Dean's new office. This was a former dingy work room at the west end of the second floor corridor. As redesigned by Dean Mackesey, it is a comfortable and attractive office, panelled in natural Philippine mahogany and lighted through a dropped panel of corrugated plastic. The work table is a slab of Vermont marble on a specially made brass frame. Behind the desk, at left, mahogany cabinets designed by Dean Mackesey are mounted on the white-painted old brick wall.
