was inadequate. The lecture room was overcrowded and the laboratory classes had to be divided and worked in short periods. Some of the classes in chemistry were held in Fraser hall, Snow hall, and Blake hall.
The state legislature appropriated $65,000 to build and equip a new chemistry building. Dr. Bailey, head of the chemistry department, and Mr. Haskell, state architect went East and abroad and studied the different types of chemistry buildings in search of suggestions for the new building. F. O. Marvin, professor of engineering at the University of Kansas designed the building.
The old Chemistry building was then used for the laboratories of histology and human anatomy. It was called Medical hall.
The new building was completed and in 1900 the chemistry department and the School of Pharmacy moved from the old Chemistry building to the new one.
In 1911 the journalism department was organized and was given the southwest room in the basement of the building. It was not until 1923 that the last medical class moved out and the journalism department had complete control of the building. The name was then changed to the Journalism building.
Two frame additions have been erected on the west side of the building to accommodate the growing journalism department.
The small room in the top of the building, which the chemistry department used as a store room, is used as a "sky parlor" by the journalism department. There is a small kitchen in it where the women may slip away and brew a pot of tea.

So round,so firm,so fully packed
_no loose ends to spill out or cling to lips
On every fine tobacco plant there are only a few leaves that we buy for Lucky Strike. Not the top leaves—because they are underdeveloped. Not the bottom leaves —because those are inferior in quality. We select only the center leaves—because the center leaves are the mildest and fully ripe
for perfect smoking. Only the center leaves are used jin making Luckies—so round, so firm, so fully packed—free from loose ends that spill out, that cling to lips. Is it any wonder Luckies are mild and smooth? And remember, "It's toasted"—for throat protection—for finer taste.
