﻿PHYSIOLOGICAL INSTITUTE

is located on fairly extensive grounds which, by furnishing a pond for frogs, pasturage for large experimental animals, hutches and feed for rabbits, as well as other conveniences, are made to contribute toward meeting some of the needs of the Institute. The general layout of the buildings and grounds is given in the accompanying plot plans (see Figs. 2 and 3).
The first story comprises a lecture room, a class histological laboratory, a demonstration theater, and a number of smaller laboratories and rooms. The lecture room (1) and the histological
home. Each of these libraries has a separate, carefully prepared card catalogue.
The demonstration theater (7) is built on the usual plan, with seats rising in tiers each one-half meter above the other. Facilities are provided to permit the microscopic and other preparations to be viewed by students who cannot do so sufficiently during the demonstration period.
There are three laboratories for general research purposes—one (9) for general workers and for those working for their doctor’s degree,

laboratory (12) are lighted from three sides. The former is especially adapted for instruction by cinematograph, a device which serves excellently to demonstrate all kinds of living movements including those observed under the microscope. The films are developed on the premises. Adjoining the lecture hall is a small room for preparing the material to be shown at the lecture (2). On this floor there is also a library (5), forming a department of the University Library. There is also in the balance room (6) a modest collection of books, periodicals, pamphlets, and prints, most of them belonging to the Director. By keeping them here they can be made of wider use than they would be in the professor’s

another small laboratory known as an assistants’ laboratory (10), and the Director’s private laboratory (4). Each of these contains such facilities as centrifuges, air pressure and suction, and ovens for various temperatures, so that they can be used for researches of every kind.
The ground floor has a students’ laboratory for physiology (17) and another for physiological chemistry (14) and between the two a dark room (16) for spectroscopic examinations of the blood, ophthalmoscopy, and other uses, and a glass-washing room (15). These connecting rooms are used for both laboratories. One corner of this floor is taken up by two rooms for making
