Nathan Marsh Pusey Room

Named for the 10th president of Lawrence University, Nathan Marsh Pusey, the room is the formal living room of the campus.  With a coffered ceiling, custom inlaid carpet, Fond du Lac stone fireplace and quarter sawn cherry walls, this is a comfortable place to relax and view the river and campus garden.  The room has full audiovisual capabilities built-in and a Yamaha C6 piano.  While the room is primarily used as a living room for quiet study, casual conversation and informal meetings, the room can be reserved for small receptions, recitals for less than 50 guests and intimate dinners.  During the summer and December recesses, the room can be combined with the Somerset Room for weddings and banquets.
