What it proposes is to have two lists of admission requisitions, one prescribed, the other elective. "Under the first head let those studies be placed in which every boy should...
...floor to the laboratory floor will be 26 feet; this space corresponds to two stories of the western wing, to two stories of recitation rooms and to three stories of cabinets. The landings of the stairs will be so arranged as to communicate with these different rooms at their proper levels. To supply power, electric currents, etc., an engine house is to be constructed to the eastward. As the vibrations from this source might endanger the success of delicate experiments, care will be taken to completely isolate this building from the main building and all shafting will be carried...
