Man standing in the chemical lab in Burgess Hall

Description:	A photograph of a man in the chemical laboratory in Burgess Hall. The photograph is mounted on board and has # 7 handwritten in ink in the bottom left hand corner. Although Burgess Hall opened in 1890, the science classrooms were not moved there until 1892 when other faculty complained that the smells from the laboratories were pervading their classrooms. The Universitys academic bulletin for 1898-1899 describes the chemical laboratory as follows. The laboratory is well furnished for work, being conveniently arranged and supplied with gas, water, hoods, means of ventilation, and all necessary chemicals and apparatus for work in all branches of the science provided for in the course of study. To each student is assigned his own desk with separate outfit of apparatus and chemicals. Students will be required to pay for all apparatus actually broken or injured.
