  1. Sadly, the housing is slightly more pedestrian here. The only thing that room is missing is an opium pipe and accompanying lamp. And a skull. Every student needs a skull.

  2. I think that the room needs a cut crystal decantor filled with brandy.

  3. If it were an English University room prominen in the picture would be Teddy Bear named after a C16th Italian Saint.

  4. 'My study's ornament: thou shell of death, once the bright face of my betrothed lady...'.

    Actually, just whisky in a decanter and gin in a bottle.
