Editing Graduates Memorial Building (section)

===Ground floor===
The ground floor houses its '''Debating Chamber''', frequently used by The Phil, The Hist and The Theo, specifically designed for oratory purposes, with its two-floor high ceiling, carved balcony and [[Ionic order|Ionic]] pilasters. On the chamber's west wall is a bronze relief of [[George Ferdinand Shaw]] former Librarian of the Phil and Senior Fellow of the college.<ref name=Casey />

The conversation room of the [[University Philosophical Society]] is also on the ground floor, and provides its membership with a meeting area to sit, talk, and relax. Its conversation room also plays host to the society's paper reading sub-group, [[University Philosophical Society#Bram Stoker Club|The Bram Stoker Club]].

Halfway between the ground floor and first floor is the Phil's council room, which has the only access to the debating chamber's [[balcony]].

Further up the stairs and facing onto Library Square is a large [[stained glass]] window depicting [[Epaminondas]] and [[Demosthenes]], the greatest of all the Greek orators. It was dedicated to the memory of [[Marshall Porter]], a university graduate killed in the Boer War.<ref>{{cite book |last=Parkhouse|first=Valerie B.|date=2015|title=Memorializing the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902: Militarization of the Landscape: Monuments and Memorials in Britain|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BmxKBgAAQBAJ|publisher=Troubador Publishing|page=271|isbn= 9781780884011 }}</ref>
