STUDY FORM

In the days and nights just before final examinations, Baker Library is jammed with students deeply immersed in books and notes. Intent on the cramming job at hand, students get all wrapped up in their individual cocoons of concentration—and demonstrate a variety of study forms and postures, some of which our photographer has captured in these unposed pictures.
