Qooms cmb Qguifbings The new buildings were commenced in 1875. They are thoroughly drained, well ventilated, and unsurpassed for convenience and comfort. In 1881 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, andan excellent gymnasium. Most of the rooms are arranged so as to provide for two students rooming together, a common study, and separate bedrooms. All the rooms and hall-ways are heated by steam, and ventilation is secured by open ire-places. Water is carried to every iioor. ' The site of the building is remarkable for its healthfulness. Qjfje Cbgmnaaium emo Qlfumni Eat? , The new Gymnasium and Alumni Hall for Theatrej stands to the east of the proposed north quadrangle near the driveway from Vernon Street, and faces the west.

The entrance is at the level of the running track of the gymnasium, from the vesti- bule ample stairways lead down to the latter and up to the theatre, which has a seating capacity of 5oo. The equipment of the gymnasium embraces modern appa- ratus, and the latest patent appliances in this department. An instructor in athletics is in charge of the building. Qj8e Harbin Eat? of gciencen q This building is built of brick in early French Romanesque style, and is two stories high 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 physical laboratory is 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. Thekequipment in the chemical laboratory is such as is required for good work in qualitative and quantitative analysis and assaying. .
