On 17th of July, after coming out of the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, we came to the front of a big stone table on which there carved a quotation which I like very much. It goes like this, " In Memory of THE MEN of YALE who, true to Her Traditions, gave THEIR LIVES that FREEDOM might not perish from the Earth." Behind the stone table, there was a high and magnificent building in front of which there were about ten big and high stone columns. Can you guess what the building is used for? With a lot of curiosities, Lucia, Sunny and I went into it. To our great surprise, we found it is a magnificent dining hall. From one the ceiling of the dining hall, there suspend down about ten magnificent glass pendent lamps, which evenly suspend down from both sides of the high ceilings of the dining hall. And in the dining hall, there are five long lines of dining-tables and eight leather chairs are put around each table. we figured out that the big dining hall can offer about 800 seats for people to eat in it at the same time. Now you can imagine how big and amazing it is!
The inside of the Yale dining hall is so magnificent and impressive, right?
How I wish I could also have the honor and chance to eat in such an amazing dining hall!
