“For here the habit oL ' the soul Feels less the outer world’s control. And from the silence multiplied By these still forms on every side The world that time and sense has known Falls off and leaves us God alone.”

V ' IV T UCKED up against the leafy Hank of Keane Oaks stands Science Hall; — a long narrow building with a tall chimney running up the wall, and a row of little evergreens radiating from either side of the entrance. Within the walls of reddish-brown brick are the chemistry and physics laboratories — veritable “sancti sanctorum” of learning; the habitation of rows and tiles of tall, soldierly looking bottltes, with glass stoppers; and of scores of queer-looking machines that are wont to splutter and fume with angry showers of blue sparks, to the discomfiture of meddling Freshmen. It is here that busy young chemists peer into retorts and test tubes, and heat murky liquids in crucibles. It is here that youthful bacteriologists and bio¬ logists prepare to safeguard the world ' s health and happiness. And from these classrooms come the chemists, physicians, and electricians who, upon the foundation of the Science of the Past, will build the Science of the Future.
