[Only one of the courses 3C and 4D will be given in one session.]
A Laboratory Fee of five dollars is required for each course.
The Rouss Physical Laboratory was designed to meet the requirements
of practical physics. The building throughout is characterized by
structural stability. The student and other laboratory work rooms are
abundantly lighted, while some may be darkened at will. This is true
also of the main lecture room, whose single skylight is controlled from
the lecture table. There is a general distribution of water over the building,
while all the rooms are supplied with steam heat, gas, and electricity.
The equipment includes an exceptionally rich set of demonstration
apparatus and a good stock of apparatus for elementary laboratory exercise.
In addition to this there is a special line of electrical and optical
instruments, a 21½-foot concave grating with Rowland mounting, photographic
dark room, liquid-air plant, and storage battery, and a machine
shop for the repair and building of physical apparatus. For advanced
practical work in some lines the facilities offered are exceptional.
