There is in eonrse of construction a mounting to carry a Brown4-inch refractor, and a portrait lens of five inches aperture. Tlie work of the Physics Department is arranged to meet the needsof four classes of students. (1) For those who desire a general knowledgeof the subject of physics, as a part of a liberal education, the developmentand substantiation of fundamental theories takes precedence over the minutiic. DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS - Lecture Room of the subject. (2) For teachers and those preparing to teach physicsin the high school, the work includes more laboratory practice, besides aspecial course in the manipulation of physical apparatus, and another inshop practice. In the former of these two courses the student generatesoxygen gas, mani])ulates ( x-liydrogen, acetylene and electric stereopticons, 110 Departments of Liberal Arts projects interference fringes and vibrating strings, demonstrates the oscilla-tory character of the Leyden jar discharge, reverses the D-line, etc. In allhe repeats some fifty of the more ditficnlt lectnre demonstrations. Inthe latter conrse he is taught soldering, tempering, In-azing, case-hardening,simple glass-blowing, wood and metal turning, screw-cutting, and such otheroperations as may be required in the repair or manufacture of physical
