...expectation of new buildings for the chemistry department which the present movement holds out is good news for Harvard men. The inadequacy of the existing accommodations has long been a vexation to students and instructors who have been obliged to work in the Boylston and Dane laboratories, and has been disagreeably apparent to others by the odors which have emanated from those places.
