GRADUATES' MEMORIAL. The north side of the Library Square, which contained the old houses numbered 28 to 31, was demolished in 1899. The Graduates' Memorial occupies the centre of the new building which has been erected in the space thus vacated, and contains a theatre, a library, a reading room, recreation rooms, rooms for the use of the College Societies, cloak rooms, &c. The wings of the new building contain forty sets of single students' chambers, and the entrances are at the east and west ends. LABORATORY OF EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS. The Laboratory of Experimental Physics was completed during the Summer of 1906. It is the gift of Viscount Iveagh; his Lordship contributing a sum of £16,500 for its construction and equipment. The actual cost of building was £14,708; of the fittings £1292; and the balance of nearly £500 has been laid out on Scientific Instruments. The interior is designed so as to provide special accommodation for Students engaged in research, as well as to meet all the requirements of a large teaching laboratory. Several research rooms, furnished with every convenience in the way of scientific fittings, as well as class rooms for teaching the great divisions of Physical Science, Heat, Light, Electricity and Magnetism, are provided. There are also a large class room for introductory teaching, and a lecture theatre, seating 132, fitted with the latest facilities for demonstration. The city current is laid on throughout the building, and a continuous current is supplied from a large storage battery in the basement. The Architect was Mr. W. C. Marshall of London. The annual outlay upon the upkeep of this Department is in part defrayed by the Board, and in part derived from a fund contributed by the Graduates and friends of the University during the years 1903-1906 [see Calendar Vol. III., pp. 457–463]. From this fund an annual income of £350 is assigned to the Laboratory of Experimental Physics. BOTANICAL LABORATORY. The New School of Botany was opened at the beginning of Michaelmas Term, 1907. It was built and equipped through the munificence of Viscount Iveagh at a cost of about £7950, and endowed with an income of £280 per annum by public subscription to the Science Fund. The Building contains a Lecture Theatre, a large Laboratory to accommodate practical classes of 60 students, various Class Rooms, and Research Laboratories, and a small Library. The Building is equipped throughout with the various appliances and apparatus required for Botanical Instruction and Research. Recital. Letters Patent. 1 GEORGE V., 24TH MAY, A.D. 1911.
