 Grounds and Equipment.
 The University grounds, adjacent to the city of Tuscaloosa, comprise nearly three hundred acres. extending north ward, from South University Avenue one mile to the Black Warrior River.

 Garland Hall. on the east, is the counterpart of Manly Hall on the west and completes the University quad rangle. It contains the geological and natural history museum. the lecture rooms for Geology and History, the laboratory of MineraIogy, the office and laboratory Of the Geological Sur very, the rooms of the supervisor of the boarding department and the assist ant professors, and the hall of the Board of Trustees.
 Tuomey Hall is a brick building of two stories. 40 by 70 feet. with a one- story part. 30 by 70 feet. occupied ex- clustve1y by the chemical laboratories ard lecture rooms.
 Barnard Hall is similar in construc- tion and plan to Tuomey Hall At present the two-story part is occupied by the laboratories and lecture room of Physics. The one-story part is used as a gymnasium.

 Tn addition to the general collec- fions as named, several schools in the academic department are supplied with reference books, periodicals and charts relative to their work.
 The University of Alabama recog- nizes the growing importance of a knowledge of the physical and natural sciences in a modern liberal education, and also endeavors to offer opportuni- ties to students who so desire to shape their academic training in the Junior and Senior years in the direction of their later professional and technical pursuits. It has. therefore. established laboratories. and gathered collections fin connection with the several schools of science, giving the student an avail able equipment, for thorough acquisi- ton of those principles and facts of science which form the chief part of all modern professional and technical edu- cation.
 Tuomey Hall. brick building of two stories, 40 by 70 feet, with a one-story rear 30 by 70 feet. is occupied exclu- sively by the chemical laboratories and lecture rooms. In the two-story part upon the lower floor, Is a working lab- oratory for Senior and Graduate stu dents. The laboratory is stocked with euuipment for both gravimetrie and volunetric analysis. including a new and vey fine Schmidt and Haaench po- lariscope, a new Bunsen and Kerchoff spectroscope, a new KJeldahl digestion and distillation apparatus. a complete outfit for gas analysis according to TIempeI, Edison-Leland cells, Jones re- ductor. platinum ware, and, in fact, ev- ervthing usually found in a w4ll-ap- pointed quantitativs laboratory. At fached to this laboratory is a balarce room. provided with half dozen pairs of Queen and Becker balances. and an assay room, well equipped with modern gas furnaces for the fre-assay of met slS and with an ore smelter and grind CT, etc.
