. Reems AND Ba1LD1Nas. , L The new buildings were commenced in 1875. They are thoroughly drained, well ventilated, and unsurpassed for convenience and comfort. In 1,881 the Northam gateway was begun, and the western side of the great quadrangle is now completed. Easy access from the city is secured by means of street-cars running to the College grounds. An excellent athletic ground is 'provided for ball playing and other out-door sportsg there are also several tennis courts, and an excellent gymnasium. Most of the rooms 'are arranged so as to provide for two students rooming together, a common study, and I separate bed-rooms. All the rooms and hall-ways are heated by steam,and ventilation is secured by open fire-places. Water is carried to every Hoor. The site 'of the building is .remarkable for its healthfulness.

QF SGIENGEJ' ' This building, is built of brick in early French Romanesque style, and is two stories ,fhigh with a basement, having a frontage of seventy-nine feet, and a depth of sixty-five feet. The angles of the building are emphasized by large ventilating turrets, which not only serve a practical purpose, but add ' greatly to the breadth of the wall-mass. The main object in constructing this building has been to make ample provisions for laboratory work in chemistry and physics. The phy- sical laboratory will be equipped with a .dynamo and engine, and the rooms have been arranged with special reference to making facilities for practical work as complete as possible. The equipment in the chemical laboratory is such .as is required 'for good work in qualitative and quantitative analysis and assaying. G1-XT!-XLGQEIES.
