Historical 5 tci) of squebanna University. HE time has again come to present to our readers a brief account of the record Susquehanna University has made for herself dur- ing the year that has elapsed since the Lanthorn paid you its visit. We note with pleasure that this record has surpassed the expectations of her most sanguine supporters. In the closing paragraph of the historical sketch of the Lanthorn of last year, some of the needs of the institution as they then existed were pointed out. One principal need there mentioned has already been supplied and, as a result, our students are now enjoying the advantages of a new chemical and physical laboratory, amply adapted in all its appointments to our present require- ments. This building is the gift of a liberal-hearted christian lady of our beloved church, who, beside the building as it now stands upon our cam- pus, has contributed more of her means for its completion and better equipment. Work was begun upon this building immediately at the be- ginning of the summer vacation and by the middle of October was ready for occupancy. Beside basement apartments, such as a dark room for photography, etc., there are four apartments: a lecture room used exclu- sively by the professor of the physical sciences, a room fitted up with the latest appliances for the practical study of chemistry, a room for investi- gations in mineralogy, and one set apart entirely as a museum. The rooms formerly occupied for laboratory purposes in the basement of Gustavus Adolphus Hall have been utilized in other directions, the largest one being fitted up with bath-room equipments where begrimed athletes after the foot- ball fray receive refreshing showers and rub them- selves into decency. This equipment, however, has a wider range of use- fulness, as all the students during the whole year make constant use of it. Another improvement that early in the year came our way is the tele- phone. We are now no longer an insolated community, but have become attached to the outside world. We find the phone not only a great convenience but even a necessity and are sure it has come to stay. 10
