devoted to the Work in electricity and magnetism. On the second floor are found a large general laboratory for ad- vanced undergraduate Work, optical laboratories, a chemical laboratory, large dark room, two developing rooms, and the large lecture hall with its adjoining apparatus and preparation rooms. The offices of the Director and Faculty are also on this floor. The third Hoor is devoted to a general laboratory for the under- graduate work in general physics, which, with its adjoining apparatus and preparation rooms, occupies the entire third floor of the east wing. MRS. BEE!!-IER On the same iloor are found two general laboratories and the rooms designed as the class rooms, library and reading rooms, but which are temporarily used by other departments. NIH XI-Rkl The central part of the fourth floor forms a hall for experiments requiring a large space. The roof above this portion is flat and suit- able for observations in the open air. A shaft has also been provided for pressure-gauges and for experi- ments requiring a greater vertical distance than is found in the labora- tories. Recent investigations have shown that the location of the Ryerson Laboratory is an exceedingly good one and that the outside disturb- ances which are usually so annoying are at a minimum. In June, 1894, Mrs. Caroline Has- kell, of Chicago, by a subscription of

Ducts and channels have been pro- vided between the walls and in the iioor, so that pipes or wires may be laid from one part of the building to another without difficulty. The space in the building has been utilized as follows: Rooms for special purposes, small laboratories for work of investigation, large laboratories for general instruction, lecture rooms, class rooms, library and offices.

S5l00,000 made provision for the erection of the Haskell Oriental Museum. The building is to be a memorial of her husband, Mr. Frederick Haskell. The Yerkes Astronomical Observatory, which is to have the finest teles- cope in the world, was the gift of Mr. Charles T. Yerkes, of Chicago, and is tolbe located at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The observatory besides containing a telescope valued at S5500,000 will be thoroughly equipped with all the modern astronomical apparatus and appli- ances, together with a large astronomical library.

V b A 151 V BEECHER HALL The University opened its doors to students on October 1, 1892, occupying Cobb Lecture Hall, and the graduate and divinity dormitories, the only buildings then ready for use. Other buildings were rented for the scientific departments and as dormitories for students. The number of students matriculating in the course of the iirst year, in all departments of the Univer- sity, including the Academy and excluding the University Extension Division, exceeds 900. In addition to the University campus of twenty-four acres, which is
