Qhemistry Jl boratory We can honestly boast of one of the most modern and completely equipped laboratories in this city, supervised by a staff of thoroughly trained and experienced chemists. Many interesting and absorbing hours have been spent in this department of our College, and it is our hope that the facilities this laboratory presents will prove an inspiration to those who follow us and are afforded the opportunity to persue there the secrets of the most intricate and interesting of sciences. May the many unsolved mysteries that the world is waiting to learn someday be disclosed therein. This laboratory contains two hundred and twenty-five lockers and will accom- modate one hundred students at one session.

T) is section laboratory Curtains are here raised to divulge the secrets of human anatomy to the under ' classes. This modern laboratory harbors twenty ' cight tables and will accommodate one hundred and forty students. It is equipped with a refrigeration plant that will preserve thirtyfive cadavera. A recent addition to this department is equipment for brain dissection wherein a splendid practical objective is obtained of the most intricate of cellular structures, the human brain. The lighting and ventilation on this floor are such that the student is virtually as well equipped as a surgeon to perform his ex ' ploratory work. In addition, the hygiene of the laboratory is under the supervision of Gilbert A. Gavin, whose clever methods of embalming preserves the subjects under examination in a manner least offensive to the student.
