mineral specimens, samples of manufactured products and other displays of interest to students of chemistry. Some cases containing specimens of general interest are placed in the connecting corridors in which are hung pictures of noted chemists. THE CLUB ROOM is an attractive room on the first floor provided as a home for the Chemical Club and The Illinois Chemist. The adjoining seminar room may be thrown open by double doors, the two rooms furnishing delightful social quarters. An open grate, appropriate decorations and comfortable furniture make these rooms homelike and popular. GUESTS OF THE DEPARTMENT THE DIVISION OF BACTERIOLOGY OF THE bEPARTMENT OF BOTANY occupies temporary quarters on the third floor. The large laboratory, which accommodates the students in elementary bacteriology, has 108 lockers. There are two smaller laboratories, one for applied bacteriology with locker provision for 34 students and the other for research with accommodations for 44 graduate students. Included in this suite are smaller rooms arranged and equipped as follows: a preparation room, a sterilization room, two constant temperature rooms which are kept at 37. 5 0 and 20 °, respectively, a seminar room, a supply room, two offices and two private laboratories for use of the teaching force. The furniture and arrangement of these rooms are in harmony with that in the other portions of the building. As future growth makes expansion necessary, these rooms are to be occupied by the department of chemistry. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNITED STATES PHARMACOPOEIAL CONVENTION is granted the use of an office and private laboratory upon the third floor which are occupied by its chairman, Dr. J, H. Beal. While the work done here is not strictly a part of the university curriculum, the presence of this laboratory is a great help to those students who are interested in pharmaceutical chemistry. Dr. Beal has consented to act as director of pharmaceutical research and accepts a limited number of graduate students for work upon special problems. THE VALUE OF THE BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT The original cost of the building erected in 1902 was little short of the total appropriation which was (5T>
