THE NEW COLLEGE BUILDING 



THE College Building is six stories high, fireproof throughout, and the 

 only building in the world constructed for the education of pharmacists 

 exclusively. Accommodations are supplied for 1,000 students with per- 

 fect comfort, and many more may find room for work without crowding. 

 The laboratories are fitted up for 150 students working simultaneously — a 

 feature of the greatest importance. 



The designs for the building were under consideration for nearly a 

 year, and are the result of the best architectural skill, combined with the 

 judgment of a score of the best members of the pharmaceutical profession 

 in the United States. Every detail for the practical education of the student 

 has been most carefully considered, and no expense has been spared to carry 

 out this all-important object. 



The exterior is after the Italian Renaissance architecture, built of 

 light grey stone, buff brick and terra-cotta, decorated with marble to har- 

 monize, making it an ornament to our city and something to be proud of 

 in the memories of the alumni of the College. 



The interior, of iron and fireproof materials, has been planned to 

 afford the greatest possible comfort to the individual student, and special 

 care has been given to the important sanitary problems of light and ven- 

 tilation to insure the preservation of the health of its occupants. It is 

 probably the best heated, lighted and ventilated college building in the 

 United States. 



On the Basement floor will be the apparatus for heating and ventil- 

 ating, consisting of boilers, engines and fans for forced circulation of fresh 

 warm air. Here are also located the students' coat room and gymnasium, 

 and commodious toilet rooms, together with large storerooms for the College 

 supplies, and a special room for the comfort of lady students, of which our 

 College has a number every year.
