are going on it will be but
short time before the air is as fresh
and pure as though no such gases had
escaped into the room.
There are three doors in the room
one leading into the private laboratory
in the southwest corner, another into
the hall and the third into the toilet
room for the ladies.
The toilet room is supplied with
every convenience and is lighted on
either side by large windows. taking
| the light from the vestibule in. front
! and the study room in the rear.
| The study room is designed especial
I ly for the women of the college and is
just what has been needed. on aC-
count of the distance of some of the
rooms for the women from the rccita-
ton rooms. q good deal of time is of
necessity taktn up in going to and
from rectations. Through this study
room the Inconvenience viii be avoided.
The room is one of the pieasantest
in the whole building. The large bow
window occupies nearly the whole of
the east side of the room and COM
mands az excellent view of the Kenne-
bee and the plant of the Hollngsworth
Like the other rooms it is finished in
ash.
The whole north side. nearly, is oc-
cupied by the laboratory. Three sides
of the building are occupied by cases
and drawers for storing the chemicals
and apparatus. The cases are arranged
with drawers above and small closets
below. Entrance is gained to the clos

when the drawers above are closed the
closet doors are automatically locked.
The fourth side of the room is occu-
f., pied by hoods fitted with gas fixtures
and small sinks in which the expert
| ments giving forth malodorous gases
may bc carried on. Each hood is con-
nected with the ventilators so that the
| gases which are prevented from cs-
Gaping into the room by the glass
doors are carried out of the building
through the ventilators.
The floor space is occupied by the ex-
pertinent tables, and is large enough
TO accommodate all the students in the
CLASS. The tables themselves are the
most convenient imaginable. Like the
rest OF the finish in the room they are
Oh ash highly polished. All are of the
1
same general style of any experiment
table IN laboratory of that class.
Each is fitted with gas jets and has
on top the necessary racks for test
, tubes and other apparatus used in
carrying on the experiments. The
tables are so arranged that two can
work at each side and as they are wide
enough for Il person at each side are

table. Below the top of the table is n
perfect nest of drawers for apparatus.
while below the drawers are small clos
cts for the apparatus too large to go
into the drawers. Each door is so ar
ranged that by closing the drawers when
the doors arc shut, the doors are au-
tomatically locked.
The experiment cabinets are placed be-
tween the windows at the side of the
room and as the windows are set with
, ondoyant glass there is plenty of light
I Five of the cabinets occupy places at the
side next to the windows while the re.
