the adjoining experimenter’s room, and double doors also separ¬
ate this from the main hall. The wall between these two rooms
consists of two layers of plaster with special deadening material in¬
serted between. Two small tubes, ordinarily stuffed with felt con¬
nect these rooms. When the acoustical stimulus is a tuning-fork it
is placed in a distant room, connected with one of the b circuits
of the sound-proof room, and then with a telephone receiver near
the subject’s ear.
The photographic-room contains the ordinary sink, red lights
shelves, etc. The indirect entrance is light-tight when the door
is not closed, so that the experimenter may pass in and out even
when developing is going on. This room, like all the others which
have no window (except the sound-proof room), has forced ven-
tilation.
The class-room is designed for the experimental training-courses.
It has eight of the regular delivery-boards, ten tables, instrument-
case, blackboard, and sink.
The lecture-room for specialized courses in comparative and ex¬
perimental psychology seats eighty students. It is provided with
two Bausch and Lomb electric projection-lanterns, horizontal and
vertical microscope attachments, and attachment for the projection
of opaque objects. On the lecturer’s platform, besides the black¬
board, projection-screen, and chart-racks (capable of holding twenty
charts), is a large demonstration-table provided with a delivery-
board, water, gas, sixteen chart-drawers, two other drawers, and
three cupboards.
As has been said before, the general psychology course of the
University is not given on the laboratory floor, but downstairs in the
large lecture-hall with about 400 seats. A number of large demon¬
stration instruments of the laboratory serve the special purpose
of this course; this hall too has its own stereopticons.
Our instrumentarium is, of course, in first line, the collection
of apparatus bought and constructed through the fourteen years of
work Yet with the new expansion of the institute a considerable
number of psychological, physical, and physiological well-tested
instruments has been added. Especially in the departments of
ymographic, chronoscopic, and optical apparatus the equipment
presents a satisfactory completeness; its total value may be estimated
to represent about twelve thousand dollars. Yet the place of the
laboratory which we appreciate most highly is not the instrument-
room but the workshop, in which every new experimental idea can
