Alfred Dunbar and an unidentified man are sitting at a table in a dormitory room at Union College in this 6 3/4" x 4 3/4" black and white photograph. They are both dressed very formally in suits and ties. The two men have books open on the table in front of them, and one of them is in the process of writing something. The small room is crowded with furniture in addition to the table, including a bed, a small nightstand, and a wardrobe. On the nightstand, there is a pitcher and washbasin, along with a whisk broom. The top of the wardrobe is cluttered with clocks, picture frames, and other knickknacks. A guitar, a mandolin, and a banjo are all visible along the back wall of the room. There is a radiator in the back corner of the room. The walls of the room are covered in patterned wallpaper, and there is a picture rail running along the walls, from which some pictures are hung. A bulletin board can be seen in front of the room's window. There are pictures and postcards tacked to the bulletin board, and there is a lace curtain on the window.
