L lie UNIVERSITY VI SuuSJ lNdLlld
is about to erect, at cost of more
than $500, 900, acknowledgements
and equipment, a Medical Labo-
ratory Building which will be
unexcelled in every respect. The
Trustees are also contempting
the erection in the future, of a
new Medical Hall, Anatomical
Building and auxiliary buildings,
which will adjoin the new labora-
tory about to be erected, and
which will form one Of the most
extensive systems of buildings
devoted exclusively to the teach
ingofmedicineln Europeor Amer
lea.
The new Medical Laboratory
Building which will be erected at
once, will be quadrangular in
shape and will be located on the
south side of Hamilton Walk,
between Thirty sixth and Thirty
seventh streets. The build will
be two stories in height above a
high basement, measures $40
feet front by nearly 200 feet in
depth. The long front faces
north, securing a maximum
amount of the best light for labo-
ratory purposes. All along the
front arranged small rooms for
research, rooms for professors
and their assistants, a library,
etc, these open into a private
corridor, so that men employed
in these rooms may pursue their
work without interruption from
students passing through the
main halls.
Perfect lighting of all the labo-
ratories has been obtained the
courts being large enough, with
the low front building, to furnish
good north light to the Labora-
tory of Pharmacy and Pharmaco,
dynamics on the first floor, and
to the large laboratories on the
second floor devoted to Pathology
where microscopic work is done,
the north front of these rooms
facing on the courtyard be
ing made almost wholly of glass
and extending higher than the
front, so that steady north light
will be thrown to the back of the
room.
The first floor of the new labo-
ratories will be devoted to physi-
ology and hamacodynamics. The
portion assigned to the former
consists of one large laboratory
for practical instruction, one for
general research work, twenty
rooms devoted to subsection
teaching, research work, rooms
for professors, etc. The section
which will be devoted to phar-
macodynamics consists of one
large laboratory for practical
pharmacodynamics, laboratory
for teaching practical pharmacy,
A feet by 142 feet; another for
general pharmacodynamics, Al
feet by 65 feet; besides a museum
and ten rooms for original re-
search work, etc. The rooms in
the basement of the building
will be used for demonstrative
work.
The second floor will be devot-
ed exclusively to pathology. An
examination of commodious plans
will disclose the purpose of the
pathological laboratory. After
providing for lectures upon gen
eral topics in pathology, chief
provision is for laboratory instru-
ction. The entire north front of
the building is devoted to labora-
tories for advanced students in
pathology and to the special re-
search and assistants rooms.
Each of the advanced laboratories
measures 81 feet by A feet. The
east wing accommodates the labo-
ratory of experimental pathology
while the west wing is occupied
by this museum of pathological
specimens "A feet by 65 feet, ad-
joins the demonstration hall of
morbid anatomy which hall com
municates with the general pa
thological-histological laboratory.
The last laboratory, the front of
which is to consist almost entirely
