Opening of Emerson Hall Dec. 15

Emerson Hall will probably be sufficiently completed by December 15 to be opened for public inspection. The top floor, where are the section rooms, dark rooms for laboratory work, and small rooms for separate study, is now practically finished. The glass sky-light, able the main stairway, has already been put in place. All the doors and floorings have been laid, the walls have been painted, and in many of the rooms furnishings, such as laboratory tables and blackboards, have been installed.

On the two lower floors the walls have been varnished and covered with white lead, in preparation for a cost of paint, but none of the oak floorings have yet been laid. A wooden panelling to be placed along the bottom of the stained plaster walls is partially made.
