I H , ,, THE LIBRARY. Through a 525,000 gift of the great philanthropist, Mr. Andrew Carnegie. Northwestern College in l908 came into the possession of a beautiful new library building, built in classic design. It is a modern equipped building, 76x66 feet, two stories in height, and has a spacious basement which is fitted with stacks for bound volumes and government records. The south end of the main floor contains a reading room 25x45 feet, and at the north end there is a large reference room. The main floor also contains the librarian's office and a stack room having a capacity of 35,000 volumes. The arrangement of the second floor is similar to that of the first. Besides the many reference books, the library contains the leading magazines and periodicals which make the library a valuable supplement to the class work. A library of which we are justly proud! 13

GOLDSPOHN SCIENCE HALL. Through the generosity of Dr. Albert Goldspohn, an alumnus of the College, Northwestern is the possessor of an excellent Science Hall. The building was erected at a cost of i'625,000, not including the equipment, and was dedicated about two years ago. It is 96 feet long, by 75 feet wide, and is two and a half stories high, above a high and well-lighted basement. The first Hoor is given up to the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. I-lere are large, well-equipped laboratories, supply rooms, professor's private laboratories, a balance room, a dark room, and large lecture rooms. On the second floor are the Zoological and Botannical laboratories, each with its accompanying supply room, pri- vate laboratory and lecture room. These laboratories are all furnished with the most modern equipment. The third Hoor is to become the home of our museum, which is at present housed in the main building. It is planned to reserve the old quarters for the herbarium, which has reached a considerable size, and move the museum proper into the Science Hall. This upper story, with its sky-lights, will make an ideal place for it. In the basement of the building are an optics room and a large banquet hall, recently fitted up, besides two rooms available for lecture rooms. Science I-lall has become absolutely indispensable to the college. It renders a service of the utmost value. Northwestern's students honor the donor for his gift. 12
