The New Science Laboratury at Moores Hill College. 



By a. J. Bigney. 



At the last meetin.a of the Board of Trustees of Mooves Hill College, 

 in June, 1904, they made additional provision for the Science Department 

 by purchasing a large three-story brick building in the town which had 

 been used as a business house. This building is very well adapted to its 

 new purposes. Most of the internal changes have been made and the 

 building occupied except the third story. It is forty-five feet front and 

 seventy feet deep, and three stories high, with a full basement. The 

 basement is used as a furnace room, shop, store-room, and photographic 

 room. 



The first floor contains a scientific library, a private room for the 

 iiislruetor, a combined biological laboratory and recitation room, a com- 

 l.iiied museum and geological laboratory, and one room occupied by the 

 i . M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. 



The second floor is occupied by the Philoneiliean Society as chapter 

 looms. When the college needs these rooms the Society will vacate them. 



The third floor will be occupied by the chemical and physical depart- 

 ments. 



The scientific departments now have plenty of room for increasing 

 their efficiency. The museum is growing very rapidly and this building 

 will make it much more serviceable. No movement has been started in 

 recent years that will prove as helpful not only for the college but also 

 for the scientific interests of soxitheastern Indiana.
