Acoordinr to previous notice the
board of trustees of the Indians University opened tbe bids, March
26, for the erection of the two new
college buildings at Bloomington. Four bids wero filed, as follows : Moeling & Bereforder, of Fort Wayne, $64.943 ; Charles Pearce,
of Indianapolis. $64.800 : P. H.
McCormick, of Columbus $63,500 ; H. J. Nichols & Son, of Blooming
ton, $59,982. .This last bid being the lowest, the contract was award
ed Nichols & Son, and they were given till the lat of April to make their bond and close their contract. The buildings are both to be completed by the lat of December next.
In developing the plans for these
two buildings the board availed
themselves of all the information within their reach. Other college buildings in the State were examined, aod college professors who were supposed to know something
of the necessities to be provided
for were consulted. It was remem
bered that the tendency of modern
scientific work is more and more toward giving emphasis to technical
and experimental methods, and these buildings were arranged and
planned with special reference to
that tendency. In the destruction of the old buildings last July by fire, the professors of Chemistry, Natural Philosophy and Natural Science were left without laboratories, work-shops and recitation rooms, and to provide these several departments with such buildings aa in point of capacity and suitable" ness of arrangement will at them in tbe front rank has been the aim of tbe board. If anything will be lacking in this respect it will be from a want of adequate mans rather than from anything else.
lhe two buildings are designed
in the style commonly known as the new Greek, and while no mon
ey will be spent in a tawdry and
useless adornment, a glance at the
plans prepared by architect Bunting nevertheless shows that an architectural effect will be reached that
will satisfy tbe most fastidious taste. Neatness, convenience and adaption seem to have been kept prominently in view in developing the plans.
.bach building will be two atones high, with baasment made of the
beet limestone the region affordsi
extending nine feet above the
ground line. Above the basement
tbe work will be of tbe best select brick, with pressed brick arches,
stone belts, terra cotta crestings, slate roofs and galvanised iron cor
nices.
The first and second stories of
both will be entirely fire-proof, and
tbe floors will be carried on rolled iron bams, with brick arches
between, aud the corridors will be tiled in encaustic tile, laid in cement. The larger of the two build
ings has been designed with special reference to the needs of the de partments of piiysics and chemistry. The plan of this building resembles somewhat in its general form a capital Hi It is 173 feet in length by 84 in width, The first floor will be adapted to work in chemistry. Hitherto much attention has been given to this branch of knowledge in its higher forms in this univer
sity, and it is evidently tbe purpose
of the management that there snail
be no abatement in thoroughness
in that line of work. A qualitative analysis room, thirty by eighty feet, and a quantitative
analysis room thirtv bv fortv-aeven
feet, are provided for, together with a commmodious lecture room, an essay room, a dark room, apparatus
room aud a complement ot storage
operating rooms, thirty by fortyseven and a half feet, with apparatus and storage rooms attached, two work-shops, recitation and other rooms. The smaller of the two buildings is a parallelogram, aventy feet ten inches by sixty-four feet ten inches, with a projection in front for a double 8tairca.se. It is to be devoted exclusively to carrying on work in Natural history. On the first floor is a room, twenty by sixty feet, admirably arranged for light and specially adapted to microscopic ana other technical work peculiar to that department. Two recitation rooms are also provided for, with store-rooms on the same floor. In the second story will be the museum. This is fifty-nine feet by sixty-six, with a gallery on the four sides fourteen feet in width. J When the building, with museum, was burned last summer, Dr. !
Jordsn, tbe professor in charge of
the .Natural History department, was absent in Europe, whence he
did not return till about the lat of October, Before his return numerous offers came from colleges,
learned societies and private individuals to furnish specimens for
this department, a great desl of
which has come to baud. Since his return be has personally exert
ed himself in securing material for the ffiUsem, and with such success that by the time the building will be completed tbe museum cases can be pretty Well filled. It is estimated that about one-half of the type
specimens belonging to tbe "Owen cabinet" were saved from the fire, and these, together with the speci
mens collected and donated since, will go far towards bringing the
cabinet up to its old standard.
