Abstract
THE buildings of the University of Liverpool have been damaged during air raids. One of the chemical departments in the main University buildings received a direct hit, and extensive damage was done in the laboratory, generating and battery rooms; damage to the structure of the building, however, was superficial. Nevertheless, the building was severely rocked and many of the laboratory instruments were affected; the building was not in use at the time and there were no casualties. More than a hundred windows in the University buildings, and particularly the Engineering Laboratories, have been destroyed by blast. Bombs have also fallen in the grounds of both of the University's halls of residence; the damage, however, was slight, consisting mainly of shattered windows.
