 //During the winter of 1877-1878, the final touches were put on the new buildings. The northern building, which the Trustees named Jarvis Hall, turned out to be a dormitory of even greater comfort and splendor than anyone had ever imagined. Seabury Hall, the southern building, contained classrooms, laboratory, cabinet, faculty offices, commons, and chapel. And these quarters were splendidly executed...Located on the second floor of Seabury, [the chapel's] exposed beams and trefoil windows with colored glass added a "churchly" touch that had been lacking in the old Chapel. And the chapel pews, arranged in choir (or collegiate) form were as Anglican as anything that Abner Jackson had seen at Oxford or Cambridge. The Commons, which the Trustees had reluctantly provided, was located in the basement of the north-end of Seabury. The Commons was also designated as the "Picture Gallery" where were hung the portraits of the college presidents, and as the Picture Gallery the room was usually known.//((Weaver, p. 185)) //During the winter of 1877-1878, the final touches were put on the new buildings.
