private study, and research of staff members is inadequate.

The total floor space of the building is about 8500 square feet.
The estimated square feet needed for a modern department with provision
for the future is 25,000.

Bacteriology. Bacteriology has modern quarters on the top floor of

new Snow Hall, but the steady growth of major and graduate enrollment has
crowded the facilities. In addition, the following needs for the current
enrollment exist: laboratory space for hematology or bacterial physiology;
more room for graduate research; space for display of a working museum of
pathological specimens; an operating room; more animal quarters; more in-
cubator space. Eventual enlargement of the medical school classes to 100
would cause additional difficulties.

Placing of Bacteriology in ample quarters in a medical science
building would release the top floor of Snow Hall to some other University
department. For example, psychology could be moved in, releasing its pre-
sent quarters in the basement of East Strong Hall to the much-overcrowded
School of Business.

Biochemistry. The department of biochemistry has at its disposal one
small office, one laboratory of 40 desks, one small (10 feet by 12 feet)
third floor room for advanced students, and a bascment and sub-basement
store and supply room. All this space is needed by Chemistry to handle
the present record enrollment of students interested in chemistry either
as a major, or in connection with majors in chemical engineering and pet-
roleum engineering. Some of the medical class experiments must be con-
ducted in the hall of the building because of insufficient laboratory
space. Lecture and recitation rooms, of course, must be sought from other
departments.

Physiology. The laboratories of the physiology department are located
in part in the west basement of Frank Strong Hall and in part in the ani-
mal house located across the campus near the power plant. This arrangement
necessarily means duplication of work ané equipreut, and unavoidably r2-
duces efficiency. Since the department aas oniy one small lecture roon
the larger classes must meet in other rooms or in other buildings, making
use of illustrative materials almost impossible. The animal house itself
is small, necessitating duplication of offor’ through numerous class s@c-
tions at various hours. The housing for animais is inadequate. Room is
also needed for special types of work, snd for study and research for
staff members.

Quarters in Frank Strong Hall vac:ted by physiology could be as-
signed to the School of Business, thus relioving their space problems.

Cost. The laboratory building outlined above and designed to accommo~
date the School of Pharmacy and an eventual enterirg medical class of 100,
under generally accepted teaching st.ndards, would have 170,000 square
feet of floor space. The cost, including equipment, is estimated at about
one and one-quarter million dollars.
