Cornell University - Description:
- Looking down a narrow hallway full of seated students from just above ground level. The students are sitting shoulder-to-shoulder on the floor, generally facing one another. In the foreground, a young dark skinned man with short hair is reading printed notes from a 3-ring-binder. Just past him on the other side of the hall a young dark skinned man in a baseball cap and dotted sweater looks pensive with the light skinned young man next to him. The overall impression is of many people, waiting with seriousness.
