MAINE STATE COLLEGE.
Description Of the New Building, to Be
Dedicated in June.

The new building which is being erected
on the Maine State College grounds for the
use of the department of agriculture and
natural history is rapidly nearing compile
ton. The building situated between the
laboratory and President Fernalds residence,
is of brick, three stories high, and has an ell
and a basement. 1t was designed by +. r.
Kidder, of Bangor, former student of the
which has long been felt by the college
authorities.
The ground floor of the main building con-
tains the main hall with the ply ysical labora-
tory on the south, and the agricultural
laboratory and recitatiOn-room on the north
side. The physical laboratory is a large,
wel-lighted room, and will be arranged so
that the work to be carried on there will be
free from the Inconvenience to which it has
long been subjected.
Occupying the whole of the ground floor of
the ell is the library This is also to be used
as reading-r room, and will contain all the
periodicals and magazines. To the left of
the entrance from the main building is q
large antique open fireplace, which is very
neatly finished, while on the other side of
the entrance will be the librarians Office.
The second floor Of the main building con-
tains the geological laboratory and recitation
room, the herbarium and the botanical
laboratory. The second and third stories of
the ell are to be used for the cabinet and the
museum. This room will furnish ample
capacity for the display of the fine col
lections which are in the possession Of the
college.
The whole Of the third story of the main
building is occupied by the large audience
room, which has seating capacity Of 400.
The halls on the first and second floors, also
the library and physical laboratory, are fire.
proof. The general plan of the building
shows, on the part of the architect, 9
knowledge of what was wanted, and it would
be hard to better it in any way. Although
some parts of the building will be used to
some extent, the dedicatory exercises will
not take place till June 2G.
