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.
