Science Hall OENTGKN Kays anil Physics, Biology, Chemistry and the other Sciences are taught in this building, which is one of the best equipped on the University campus. This building is almost entirely given over to laboratories, with very few lecture rooms. The armory for the military phase of the University is also located here, as well as the hook and student supply room. Science Hall is one of the most conspicuously located buildings on the campus, and the subjects taught within its walls arc of great importance. It is a brick and concrete building of two stories and a finished basement, one hundred and thirty-five feet long and sixty-six feet wide. One of the things that the University student will remember Science Hall for longest, is the fact that I)r. Flint always gave his “calomel” prescriptions from his office located here. (17)
