THE ROUSS PHYSICAL LABORATORY.

This building is now completed, and occupied. Its equipment is such as to offer
unusual facilities for both elementary and advanced practical work. The working

rooms are remarkable for stability, light and uniformity of temperature. Electricity,
gas and water, as well as steam-heat, are supplied to each of them. The
structure was specially designed to meet the requirements of Practical Physics,
and is convenient within, while it is sightly without.
