D e 1' ,. ,4 of Columbia Lniversity. The room, forty-Five by one hundred feet. is on the top floor ot the new laboratory building: is entirely cut OH from the rest of the building, and is reached only by an open air iron balcony. The room is lighted from above. ln connection with the main room are several'smaller rooms for operative surgery on the cadaver, demonstrating, and cloak room and lavatory. The Hoor is asphalt, so laid as to provide for drainage. The dissecting tables are made of iron with glass top, an innovation which has proven a great success. XYhile the room is large enough to permit of having Fifty tables in service, as a rule, not more than forty are used. The walls are covered with anatomical charts, a large number being in oil. The room is in charge of Prof. Havax, and the demonstrators of anatomy, Drs. PARKER, Sruw, LE COUNT and XYEEKSQ it is open from 1 to 5. In connection with the anatomical department, and in the rear ofthe laboratory building, is a modern refrigerating plant and preparing room. In the good old days when it was necessary to obtain cadavers, when the dissecting was done by gas or candle-light, when the subject was so illy preserved that bad tobacco in an old pipe was a perfume, it was indeed an initiation when the student saw for the first time the dissecting room. Although a wise anatomical act, day-light dissections, refrigerated and well injected material, have robbed the dissecting of much of its old impressiveness, it still remains the student's initiation into the mysteries of medicine. 59
