Restores Old Chemical Laboratory.

The old chemical laboratory of Gleesen university, where Liebig from 1824 to 1862 did his epoch making work, should be a shrine to all men of science, and It Is now to be preserved as one. According to a contemporary, a committee of the university and, of eminent scientists is going to acquire the premises from the municipality and to preserve them in perpetuity as a Liebig memorial museum. The Interior will be restored as a faithful reproduction of the old laboratory, and will exhibit the history of chemistry tn all its developments. It was the first university laboratory, and in its day was the only place in the world where important chemical experiments could be performed and witnessed.
