The Bishop Hall of Science-a
noble monument to the Hon. C. II.
Bishops munificent regard for edu-
cation-is handsome, substantial
structure of brick. 1t is entered by
flight of concrete steps. The lofty
ceilings make the rooms look smaller
otherwise than they really are, but
make them remarkably airy and
light. Entrance is first made to the
lecture room, which is handsomely
furnished with sloping gallery of
semi-circled seats. Students have
all full view of the platform and
blackboard. The rails, posts, and
so on, are in beautifully polished
koa wood. Off this room, on the
left from the platform, is the mu-
scum, the varied treasures of which
are not yet arranged. To the right
is q private study and laboratory
for the science professor. In the
rear is the Laboratory, which is fit
ted up with every convenience for
chemical experimentation and de-
monstration. Two long work-tables
are furnished with faucets and sinks,
gas pipes for instantaneous blasts OF
fire, and any amount of shelves and
drawers for, material. The base.
ment is floored throughout with con.
crete, and it's store-rooms are secure
in all respects for the preservation
of chemical stocks.
