total of seven schools by which the educational work of the University is now conducted. LABORATORY EQUIPMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY. I. The Library. Beginning with a few volumes of Government Reports, which constituted the nucleus of a large library in an early announcement of the University authorities, the number of bound volumes under the administra- tion of Miss Carrie M. Watson, Librarian, has increased to nearly 43,000, acces- sible to all students from 8 A. M. to 10 P. M., in a building provided with the best modern facilities for reading and research. II. The Scientific Laboratories. Each department of scientific research is equipped with the most approved facilities for demonstration and investigation. The value of the apparatus and illustrative material in the departments of Botany, Zoology, Entomology, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Pharmacy, Medicine, and the Fine Arts is not less than a quarter of a million dollars. III. The Museums. The Natural History Museum is especially rich in the departments of mammals, birds, insects, and vertebrate fossils. The tax- idermic work of Professor L. L. Dyche is superior in artistic finish to anything of its kind in either the old or the new world; the collection of North American insects obtained through the long-continued efforts of Professor F. H. Snow is larger and better than the entomological collection of any other educational institution in the United States; and the collection of vertebrate fossils, made chiefly under the direction of Dr. S. W. Williston, contains much material of great rarity and value. The Classical Museum, in charge of Professor A. M. Wilcox, contains full- sized representations of some of the most famous statues of Greek and Roman times, with many photographs, plates, and stereopticon slides. IV. The Athletic Field and The Gymnasium. By the generosity of Col. John J. McCook, of New York, and Governor Charles Robinson, twelve acres con- veniently located have been equipped for out-door games of baseball, football, tennis, and golf, and for track exercises. The Gymnasium, under the direction of Dr. James Naismith, furnishes regular in-door physical training for all the students of the Freshman and Sophomore Classes. CHANCELLORS OF THE UNIVERSITY. Rev.
