The collection contains photographs of the façade sculptures (grotesques) and gargoyles on Miller Hall, sculpted by Alonzo Victor Lewis in 1922. Since the building was named Education Hall at the time, Lewis's sculptures symbolize education, depicting teachers with students and famous scholars such as Confucius and Dante. Of note are the images of "Fish Teacher," resembling the mythical god Neptune, and "English Public School Students," featuring two young men in top hats.

43 photographic prints : b&w ; 10.5 x 6.75 cm.
