What do students do in their spare time? Socializing, relaxing at home, making merry and making mischief: this broadest of categories spans all manner of occupations. The artefacts you will find in it run the gamut from McGill-branded tobacconalia and handmade objects, to scrapbooks of McGill newspaper clippings and ephemera, and photos of students at play and at rest.
