Abstract
THE large and well appointed laboratories recently erected by the Trustees of the Johns Hopkins University for the Chemical and Biological Departments have by contrast made the more evident the needs of the Physical Department, which has been obliged to occupy temporarily parts of four different buildings. The Trustees, recognising this need, are now erecting a building for a physical laboratory. The new laboratory is to be a handsome building of red brick, trimmed with brown sand-stone, and will occupy a fine site about a block from the other University buildings, on the corner of a quiet little street mid-way between the more important streets, which carry the bulk of the traffic of that region. It will therefore be as free from disturbance from the earth-vibrations as could be expected in a city.
