1 1 LABORATORY OF CHEMICAL DEPARTMENT The University, at the outstart, acquired the tract known as the Redick Reserve, on which stood the old Redick mansion, and has erected on this site two commodious well-appointed buildings, the John Jacobs Memorial Gym- nasium and Joslyn Hall.

Accordingly, each college woman should take some prescribed minimum of work in Domestic Science and Art. MAIN ENTRANCE i i 1 9 2 O te MiM»s iSBB Eleven
