...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...

Another question of great importance to the Department is the increase of our income, for the growth of research has considerably outstripped the funds available from our Endowment
...Lyman's article of the different lines of original investigation which are being pursued in the University. Although one of the first buildings in the country designed for such purposes, the Jefferson Laboratory remains today one of the most efficient. At present there are twenty-two different bits of research being done in sound, heat, light, and electricity; and last year extensive apparatus for wireless communication was established in the new Cruft Laboratory. Messages are received there daily. Similarly the installation of Professor Trowbridge's high tension storage battery has made possible very important investigations concerning X-Rays. Knowledge...

The endowment also has been found insufficient to meet the demand of progressive work. To enable Jefferson to maintain its position in the first of the line; more funds are needed, and this is an especially good time for benefactors of the University and of society to give assistance...
