Facing the
entrance to the Reference Room one sees on the left (in descending order) the
philosophers Aristotle, Socrates and
Plato. Relaxing with his dog is Diogenes
the cynic who actually did live in a tub. These gentlemen were all relative
contemporaries having been born within 100 years of each other.
To the right
are the military historians (note the helmets and shield), chief among them
Xenophon who was a student of Socrates. Seated is Aesop the fable writer about
whom little is known.
