...Physics in the University is carried on in two buildings, the Jefferson Physical Laboratory and the Cruft Laboratory. The older building, which forms the subject of this notice, is devoted to the study of general physics both elementary and advanced, the newer is intended for advanced instruction and research in the special fields of high frequency electric currents...
...main building. The whole equipment is as good as any in this country. It is at present employed in a study of the relation of the Zeeman effect to spectral series. The central portion of the basement is devoted to storage and to a number of small research rooms used by Professor Davis and his students. The southwestern part of the same level is occupied by an optical laboratory. In the northwestern portion, Professor Bridgman carries on his well-known researches on phenomena at high pressures. In a vault under the western end of the building, Professor Sabine conducts those...
...eastern end of the first floor is occupied by the large lecture room and by cabinets for lecture apparatus; next comes a smaller lecture room and the students' laboratory devoted to Physics 1. The western end is taken up by research rooms devoted to the study of thermo-magnetism and to the investigation of the extreme ultra violet part of the spectrum...
...heat laboratory and by the laboratory devoted to radioactivity. The eastern end of the fourth floor is taken up by the large elementary laboratory in which Physics B and Physics 1 are conducted, the central portion is devoted to Physics 3, and the rest is given up to research. It is in the western end of this floor that the high tension storage battery constructed by Professor Trowbridge is installed. Thanks to this piece of equipment, Professor Duane, Dr. Webster, and several graduate students are enabled to carry on very important researches connected with the X-rays...
...Cruft Laboratory, which was finished over a year ago, filled a great need for a place of physical research and with its new apparatus is especially adapted for electrical experiments. Plans are now under way for the construction of a storage battery of 100,000 volts. The jars have been purchased, and bids have been received for the other materials, but the actual construction has not yet begun...
