The Biological Laboratory, completed in 1920, is adequate in size and
arrangements for housing comfortably all the classes in Biology. The building
is provided freely with electricity, gas, and water. The equipment consists of
compound microscopes of the best types, microtomes, paraffin ovens, incubators,
sterilizers, and other apparatus required for general and advanced work. The
departmental library contains a good working collection of biological texts and
books of reference, as well as files of the more important journals.
