COLLEGE OF SCIENCE. 99 and to original research. The scope of the work is sufficiently broad to enable the student to specialize in the various callings open to the chemist and pharmacist. For the first three years specific courses are arranged, but much of the laboratory work of these courses may be varied to suit the purposes or the needs of the individual student. The fourth year is mainly occupied with investigation along special lines, the subject being chosen under the direction and with the advice of the professor in charge, with particular reference to the student's aims. Students, not members of the College of Science, who desire to pursue studies in the chemistry of agriculture, or in metallurgy, may have ample opportunity for such work on consultation with the professor in charge. CHEMICAL LABOKATOBIES. A building 75 x 120 feet, and four stories in height is devoted to chemistry. The basement contains a furnace room for assaying provided with crucible and muffle furnaces, and a large store room for chemicals and apparatus. The first story contains a lecture room capable of seating 200 persons, and a laboratory for practice in general experimental chemistry and qualitative analysis, large enough to accommodate 152 students; 104 desks are now fitted up, each having an evaporating hood, gas, and water. There are a spectroscope table, a blowpipe table, and a store room stocked with- apparatus and chemicals. Also, a good sized room fitted for the preparation of lecture experiments, and for storing apparatus, etc. The second story, designed for the use of advanced students, has the following apartments: A lecture room, a large laboratory for quantitative analysis and general advanced work, now containing 64 desks; a large well lighted balance room, containing analytical balances of the best European and American make; a pharmacy furnished with drugs and • pharmaceutical preparations; private laboratory for instructors; and a gas analysis room entirely cut off from the system of heating, in order to avoid fluctuations of temperature. The laboratories are amply supplied with stocks of chemicals and apparatus of the most approved description and quality, for the work in the various branches of the science.
