The New Physics Building.
Many visitors passed through the new Physics Building last Friday, but few appreciated the many conveniences that the building presents. In the basement are found the standardizing room, where the United States standard weights and measures are kept; the temperature room, having double doors, ceilings and floors, where experiments requiring a constant temperature are performed; also the instrument maker's room where instruments are made for use in the various laboratories. The supply room and a few special research rooms are also located in the basement. In each of these rooms there are stone piers reaching down to solid rock and having no connection with the floors, so that absolute freedom from vibration is secured.
On the first floor of the building are the general laboratories, Prof. Dunstan's office, the library, a class room, a research room and a chemical kitchen where experiments involving chemistry are performed.
