tables affords ample opportunity for library work. The
Library contains more than eleven thousand bound volumes
besides several thousand pamphlets. More than a thousand
volumes have been added to the Library within the past
year. More than half of these came as gifts. Dr. L. J. Mims,
former president of the college, presented the college with
his private library of over five hundred volumes. This array
of books affords ample opportunity for research in all subjects
taught in the College. There are available at all times
ninety-five magazines, periodicals, and newspapers which
the students may use for recreation or reference. Friends of
the College are invited to cooperate with the Library Committee
in making the Library larger and more useful.
Carnegie Library. College students have free access to
the Carnegie Library, which is situated only three blocks
from the Administration Building. Courteous attendants are
ready to lend every assistance to the College students in
their work.
Chemistry. Desks for thirty-six students are available
in beginning Chemistry-water, gas and sinks being laid on
all tables; there are also shelves for regular reagents. Lockers
are provided for each student, where an outfit of apparatus
is supplied for personal use. Other rooms are specially
equipped for courses in qualitative analysis, organic chemistry,
and quantitative analysis. All these rooms are equipped
with water, gas and drains, conveniently laid on all tables.
Also there are glass blowing tables fitted with blast lamps,
etc.
Physics. In this room various pieces of apparatus for
work in mechanics, heat, sound, light, magnetism and electricity
are installed. An effort is made to stress the practical
side of each of the phases of the subject, a close correlation
being made between these measurements and the lecture
demonstrations in the class room.23
