FINISH CONSTRUCTION
OF MUSEUM DUILDINO
Work On Installatioh Of Equipment
Reported To Be Progressing
In Rapid Manner
TO EXHIBIT COLLECTIONS
Construction work on the new Mu-
seum is finished and the work of in-
stalling the equipment is rapidly pro-
gressing, according to an announce-
ment of Dr. Ruthven, director -of the
building.
Equipment in the laboratories isI
being received daily and workmen are
at work ' setting it up. Soap'stone
desks, laboratory tables, sinks, and
drying racks 'for the plmhftographic
dark room have been received. MarbleI
work on the interior has been com-
pletely finished and only the final in-'
stallation of the rubber tile flooring
is awaited before the showcases will
be installed.
Exhibitions of the museum's collec-
tions will be housed in the three en-
ormous exhibition halls located in the
south wing of the building. These
three rooms are over one hundred feet
long, They will be partitioned off
into alcoves by the dustproof show-
cases. All the collections of the var-
ious department mu'seums around the1
campus will be located in these three
rooms. The Natural Science museum'
will be among those to be moved to
the new quarters.
A feature of the new museums will
be the installation of specialized li-
braries for the benefit of curators and
students. The main library is lo-
cated on the second floor in the front
of the building, while small libraries
will be maintained by the various di-!
visions of the museum.
It is planned to place statues and
exhibitions in the niches of the plainI
rotunda corridors, Dr. Ruthven said.
Likewise, the planting of an Italian
garden in the rear of the bui~dings
between the two wings will be under-
taken. Dr. Ruthven is already in-
stalled in his offices in the new struc-
ture.
Workmen are busy setting up the
massive bronze lamps in the front of
the building which were a special gift
to the mu'seum from William P. Har-
ris of Grosse Pointe.

of roentgenology, recently delivered a

"To those of us who know her she stands not
as Walter Hampden's leading lady or Ben
Greet's featured artist, but as an actress whose
