Next in prominence to the Law School comes the Jefferson Physical Laboratory, which was a most important and most valuable addition to the University. Very carefully constructed and very thoroughly planned for extended physical construction, it is destined to give a new vigor to the study of the natural sciences here, that must some day make Harvard one of the centres of physical learning, which Harvard can not be said to have been heretofore...
