As a Cam graduate and frequent occupant of Seeley, I take issue with several aspects of the story. First, the "brick" - at least on the upper exterior floors - was not real brick, but rather a sort of composite material façade. On more than one occasion, a section came loose and fell to the ground, almost braining a student.

Also, it's utility was always accepted begrudgingly. Many books were non-circulating, requiring their use only in the reading room. During late Michaelmas and Lent terms, when the wind picked up and the temperature fell, one could see their own breath while reading books, while the metal frames would contract, opening gaps around the panes of glass, through which the wind would whistle for hours at a high pitch. By Easter term, and throughout the summers, the sun beat down on the glass framed reading room, creating a greenhouse effect that was not only hot and humid within, but absolutely distrastrous for the books, both bindings and pages.
