MEYERBEER.THE KEN'T CHEMICAL LABORATORY.In March, 1892, Mr. Sidney A. Kent proffered to the Trustees of the University of Chicago1the sum of $150,000 for the construction of a Chemical Laboratory. This generous gift was thefirst donation made in Chicago to the building fund of the University, and enabled the Trustees togo forward in carrying out the plans which they had formed for the construction of the Universitybuildings in a manner commensurate with the needs of the University.The plans submitted by the architect were approved by Mr. Kent and by the University author­ities and ground was broken for the new building in July, 1892. As the work progressed it wasfound that the cost would be much greater than the sum originally proposed. Under the supervisionof Professor Nef the most complete arrangements were devised for doing every kind of work incidentupon chemical experiment and demonstration, and the largely increased expense connected withthese arrangements was cheerfully assumed by Mr. Kent. Nor did he limit his liberality to erectingthe building and making it in every way fit for Laboratory work. He has added the equipment andfurnishings of the buiiding, so as to make the Laboratory suitable in every respect for the purpose forwhich it is intended. The original appropriation of $ 1 50,000 has been increased from time to time,until the total amount expended by Mr. Kent has reached the sum of $235,000.The arrangement of the building is as follows:The basement contains a furnace room, with a set of gas furnaces with air blast of the mostmodern construction, for crucible work, muffle work, tube heating, and other purposes, a constanttemperature room, a room fitted with steam and other appliances for work on a large scale, a mechan­ical work shop, and storage rooms.On the first floor are one small and two large lecture rooms, and a large lecture hall seating threehundred persons, fitted for use as a chemical lecture room if desired. This floor also contains achemical museum, a large private laboratory, a room with northern exposure, especially fitted for useas a gas analysis laboratory, and also apparatus and preparation rooms connected with the lecturerooms.On the second floor are two large laboratories intended for research and advanced work, threeprivate laboratories for the professors, balance, combustion, air furnace, and store rooms, a balconyfor out-of-door work, and the chemical library, which contains full sets of the most important jour­nals, as well as the most important text books and other works relating to chemistry.On the third floor are three large laboratories for general and analytical chemistry, a store room,a preparation room, a room especially fitted for optical and photographic work, a balance room, anda private laboratory. The most modern system of ventilation has been adopted, air of constant tem­perature being forced in by fans from below, and withdrawn by a fan above. The building will belighted throughout by electric lights, and the laboratories will be provided with electricity adaptedto every kind of electro-chemical work.
