Anatomical Hall, in Davidge Hall, is a theater-in-the-round. Along the top of the rows of seating is a railing where the overflow of first-year students stood to listen to lectures and view dissections. The domed ceiling has a decorative network of semicircles and rosette patterns. Outside Anatomical Hall and throughout the building, visitors enjoy the fine collection of paintings, busts, medical instruments and specimens on display. The collection is named in honor of the late Dr. John Zimmerman Bowers '38 and his wife, Akiko Bowers (see story).
