CHEMISTRY BUILDING Room 103- Organic Chemistry Research Laboratory. Special apparatus used in organic anaylsis. R Room 101-Laboratory of General Chemistry. The equipment of this laboratory is typical of that of all the laboratories. The floor is surfaced with a coating of Resolite Mastic, which forms an acid-resisting and resilient floor covering. In addition to the ordinary ventilating system which changes the air in the building every seven or eight min-utes, each laboratory has special ventilation through hoods. These are exhausted by means of twelve fans installed in the attic and controlled from the laboratories below. The laboratory of General Chemistry and 12079 have nana the Analytical Laboratory (room 201) have individual desk hoods in addition to wall hoods. Water, gas and suction are available on each desk in the building, and in each laboratory there are outlets for compressed air, distilled water and alternating and storage battery electric currents.

VEDDER The Throop Song In the sunshine floats a banner, In the early morning light: We greet the glowing colors, The Orange and the White; To this emblem we'll be faithful And to its precepts true, Its name we'll hail with pleasure, When with college days we're through. Ah! T. C. T. we love thee, Our hearts with joy rebound When we sing of thy great glory; O hail the pleasing sound Its Founder's name we cherish, A man so strong and true; Our pledge of love to T. C. T. We daily will renew. So let us join together And sing of dear old Throop, Let us shout for Alma Mater, With vim and with a whoop. Forever and forever May her glory shine so bright For all who love our College dear, And the Orange and the White.
