in the fourth row is only fifteen feet from 
the windows. Every student will be able 
to obtain unobstructed light for his micro- 
scope, especially if the windows are high 
enough. In anatomy there are four dissect- 
ing tables, a blackboard, cabinet, sink, ete. 
In physiology the students are assumed to 
work in pairs, two pairs at each table; 
hence the design shows six long tables, with 
@ separate sink for each pair of workers. 
In chemistry the tables are eight feet by two, 
with a separate sink for each student; as 
the men usually work standing, the tables 
are placed closer together, and since two 
students are calculated to a table, twelve 
tables are provided. The whole or part of 
one of the spaces marked ‘ Cabinet’ in this 
plan, as in general chemistry may be made 
into a hood. General chemistry shows the 
more usual grouping of the chemical desks. 
back to back, with one sink for four 
desks. Finally zoology shows an arrange- 
ment which is preferred by many, the tables 
forming rows at right angles to the line of 
windows. In many respects this arrange- 
ment is favorable. A special advantage is 
that, without overcrowding, it permits the 
addition of three tables, upon which appa-
