ART. Bradford Art Gallery. Bequeathed to the university by 

 the late Vincent L. Bradford of Philadelphia, and endowed by him 

 with an annuity sufficient for its maintenance and for annual addi- 

 tions to the collection. It is situated on the second floor of the library 

 building, around the central opening beneath the dome. Beside 

 several pieces of marble statuary the gallery contains between 60 and 

 70 oil paintings. With this art gallery is deposited the Lee collection 

 of American portraits in oil, loaned by the president emeritus, General 

 G. W. Custis Lee. Most of these paintings hung at Mount Vernon, 

 the home of George Washington, from whom General Robert E. Lee 

 inherited them. In addition, there is in the Lee Memorial Chapel 

 a series of oil paintings, for the most part of benefactors of the uni- 

 versity. 



SCIENCE. In connection with the laboratories of biology and geol- 

 ogy there are study collections of minerals, rocks, and fossils, includ- 

 ing the United States geological survey educational series of rocks, 

 and the Batchen, Ruffner, and Brooks collections. The last includes 

 four collections: (i) An extensive assortment of minerals, native and 

 foreign, and specimens of many varieties of rock used for building and 

 ornamental purposes. (2) A synoptic collection of fossil animals and 

 plants. (3) A synoptic zoological collection of stuffed or dried ani- 

 mals and mounted skeletons. (4) A herbarium of 5000 mounted 

 specimens; a collection of 700 sections of wood; a portfolio of American 

 trees; numerous models of flowers; and a series of botanical charts. 



The collections are in charge of the professors of related depart- 

 ments; the science collections being in charge of H. D. Campbell, 

 professor of geology and biology.
