laboratory. and a work room where re-
agents. anatomical material. etc, may
be prepared. This suite OF laboratories
furnishes accommodations for sixty stu
dents working AT one time.
The General Laboratory will seat
thirty students and is provided with the
apparatus needed for the various lines
of work. including microscopes, Able
camera lucida, Thoma and Minot micro
tones, parafline baths, injecting appa-
ratus, incubating oven, glassware, etc. /;
also very complete set of the reagents
and stains used in histology and embry-
ology. For the work in physiology
there has been provided a series OF
elastic models (AuzouX), including a
maniiin, heart. eye. ear, brain. lungs,
etc; also a human skeleton and a num-
Der of astrological preparations such as
a skull entire. Il skull disartictlated
.Beauchenc). Vertebral column. thor
aN, upper and lower limbs. A collection
of skeletons, illustrating all of the
classes of vertebrates and nearly all OF
the orders of mammals. serves for work
in comparative osteology. A complete
set of Iieger's wax models of the de-
vclopnlent of AmphioXus and of the
chick illustrate the work in embryology.
Numerous standard and specially made
charts and q department library facii-
itate the work of instruction.
The BacteriolOgical Laboratory ad-
joins that of General Biology on the
tlird floor of Anderson Hall. 1t occu-
pies two rooms and furnishes accom-
moda lions for six students working to-
gether. 1t is provided with gas and
water, and with the apparatus and re-
agents necessary for the practical study
of bacteria, including steam and hot
air sterilizers, autociave. incubating
ovens. chemical glassware, a very COM
plete set of stains, paraffine and water
baths, microtomes and microscopes.
completely equipped for meteorological
work, among them large Zess stand
with apochromatic objectives and COM
pensating oculars, etc. Facilities for
making incubation experiments will be
provided. A departmental library is
shelved in one of the rooms.
The Botanical Laboratory was opened
in the autumn of 1900. Its windows
open to the south. east and west, thus
insuring good light at all hours of the
day. There is ample room for eighteen
students at a time, besides preparation
tables. lockers and apparatus cases. A
departmental library is shelved in the
laboratory. A very full collection of
laboratory material is provided for
work in general Morphology and stu
dents in advanced Morphology are pro-
vided with microtomes, parntline oven
and all necessary reagents. The labora-
tory has Il full equipment of apparatus
for work in plant physiology.
The Physical interchangeable De-
partinent of Physics occupies seven
rooms upon two floors and in the base
ment of Anderson Hall. They are fur
nished with gas. water, vacuum and
pressure pipes, and power by means Of
electric motors. The second floor con-
tains the general laboratory, a room
devoted to optics and photography. in
Guiding dark rooms and the instructors
office. On the. first floor convenient to
the appartus cases, is the lecture room,
with gas. water and electric
current at the lecture table, pressure
and vacuum pipes, and IL stone pier,
offering opportunity for mounting the
H..
placed are arc light pro-
lection lanterns, of value in tha work
of illustration and demonstration. In
the basement is the shop. furnished
with power and equipped with ma
chinery and tools essential in the con-
and repair of apparatus.
The Dynamo Laboratory. also in the
basement, is supplied with stone piers
For mounting galvanometers, and is
'quipped with the essential appartus for
the experimental work of electrical ma
'hinery. a complete system of wiring !
leading to central switchboard rem

1t is the policy of the
College to offer to the student every
facility for advancement in the science
IF physics, and in conformity with this
policy such standard instruments as are
'equired by students Interested in spe-
'ial lines of investigation are added to
he department as needed.
A telescope, mounted equatorially on
| stone pier. is located in building
'rected for that purpose. This instru-
nent, which was made by Clark, has a
'iX-inch object glass, and is provided
With right ascension and declination
,ircles. 1t is designed only as an ad- :
unct to instruction, though sufficiently |
for purposes of investigation. |
