The new institute building, usually so called, is an Italian Benais- 

 sance structure covering four acres, and containing the Library, the 

 Museum, the Fine Arts galleries, and the Hall of Music. The Tech-

 square feet of floor space on the first, second and third stories; and a 

 special library which takes up one end of the great central court. 

 In the basement are rooms devoted to the curator's work, and the prepa-

 but to educate the masses in matters of fauna and flora, geology and 

 mineralogy. Besearch and science are furthered by the systematic col-
