Woodwork The wood shop occupies the two-story wing on the east side of the Mechanical Engineering building, 45 by 100 feet. The lower floor contains the freshman class room, equipped with fifteen work benches and sets of tools, six turning iathes, with tools for each, and other tools for hand work. On this floor is also the planing mill machinery, consisting of a double roll planer, power rip and cut-off saws, band saw, scroll saw, 16-inch jointer, moulding machine, mortis ing machine, tenoning machine, emery grinder, lathe with 12-foot bed, etc. The upper floor is devoted principally to the work for the sophomore class, and is fitted up with fifteen work-benches and ninety sets of tools-one set for each student; six 10-in. turning lathes, large pattern lathe, combination saw and boring machine, double head shaper, panelling machine, carving machine, jig-saw, universal trimming machine, special door and sash clamps, steam glue pots, miter cutters, etc. The power is supplied by electric motors conveniently located in the various rooms. A large lumber yard and drykiln provide seasoned lumber at all times. Chemical Department The original Chemical Laboratory is a two-story brick building, 50 by 80 feet, covered with slate and finished inside with southern pine. Overlapping this at one corner, and connected with it by a glass-enclosed passage, is a new and somewhat similar building, 53 by 86 feet, of modern style and handsome design. This double building, which is well ventilated, heated by steam, and lighted by electricity, constitutes a commodious structure adequate to all the needs of the department. On the first floor of the old building, which is used for academic work, there are five rooms. Two of these, connecting with each other, are employed as a laboratory for the agricultural seniors. Of the other rooms on this floor, one is a laboratory for post-graduate students and one a balance room, while the third is reserved for such use as the everincreasing demands upon the department may require. On the second floor of this building, there are two large laboratories, one for the juniors in analytical chemistry, the other for the sophomores in general chemistry. A third and smaller room is used as a balance room. The junior laboratory will accommodate seventy-two students, thirty-six at a time; the sophomore laboratory, one hundred and twenty students, sixty at a time. The laboratories are all provided with hoods for carrying off noxious gases, convenient working tables, water, gas, electric lights, and all necessary appliances for experimental work. The basement of the building is used for assaying, for the preparation of distilled water and for storage. The air pump and the mixer of the gas machine for supplying the laboratories with gas are placed in this basement and connected with the generator, which is buried eighty-five feet from the building. On the first floor of the new building there are nine rooms, all of which are appropriated to the chemical work of the State and of the Experiment Station. On one side of the wide hall, which extends the entire length of the building, are the rooms for the analysis of fertilizers. Three of these rooms are used respectively for the determination of phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash; the fourth as a balance room; the fifth and last as a sample room. On the other side of the hall there are four rooms. The largest of these is used for the agricultural analysis of the Experiment Station. Adjoining this is a balance room, in which provision is made also for the optical and electrolytic apparatus. Of the remaining rooms, one is used for water analysis, the other as an office. On the second floor of this building there are seven rooms; a lecture room, and six smaller rooms which are used for recitations, cabinets, apparatus, chemicals, library and professor's laboratory. The lecture room will seat one hundred and seventy students, the seats being arranged in tiers. The hoods in this building are all connected by earthenware pipes with a tightly-built room just under the roof, over which there is a large ventilator. The rooms in the basement are used for assaying ores, for the preparation of agricultural products for analysis, and for storage. An electric motor located in one of these rooms supplies the power which drives the machinery for grinding and pulping samples of vegetable substances. Department of Textile Industry The building is a brick structure of modern cotton mill design, 168 by 75. It is of the slow burning type, built according to fire insurance regulations, after plans of an experienced mill engineer. The building, although designed for educational and experimental purposes, containing offices, iecture rooms and laboratories, retains the more prominent features of a typical southern cotton mill. This affords the students an opportunity of gaining many points of valuable information in connection with mill construction, along with the manipulation of cotton fibres and the study of cotton mill processes and operations. The first floor is occupied by the picking, carding and spinning machinery, a lecture room, the main office, an exhibit room and the departmental library. The machinery on this floor is driven by two electric motors, one a 30 H. P. 220 volt direct current Westinghouse motor, driving the carding machinery, and a 20 H. P. 220 volt direct current General Electric Co. motor, driving the spinning machinery. The second floor is occupied by the experimental dyeing laboratory, hand looms, power looms, a lecture room and two offices. The power machinery on this floor is driven by a 20 H. P. 220 volt direct current General Electric Co. motor. The basement, which is situated under the right hand half of building, is occupied by the dye-house, and is nicely equipped for that purpose. The building is equipped with a system of "Vortex❞ humidifiers from the American Moistening Co.; steam heating system and automatic fire sprinklers from The D. A. Tompkins Company; shafting, pulleys and hangers, from Jones and Laughlin, Ltd., and from T. B. Wood's Sons.
