The Physical Laboratory was designed by Richard Threlfall, M.A., F.R.S., then Professor of Physics in the University, and was built under his supervision. The building was commenced in 1886, and completed early in 1888. Considerable additional laboratory accommodation has been provided during the past year by an extension of one side of the building. The building now includes large Junior and Senior Laboratories, special rooms for advanced work, lecture and instrument rooms, dynamo room, and a well equipped workshop. The plant includes dynamos and motors, and a large installation of storage cells for lighting and for the supply of electric energy for experimental purposes. The Laboratory was founded for the encouragement of the study of Physical Science and its object is not only to afford facilities for imparting instruction but also for aiding research. Senior students are encouraged as much as possible in the pursuit of original investigation, as it is believed that this supplies the best training, and every facility will be given to persons wishing to undertake research. 22.-PRACTICAL PHYSICS. FIRST YEAR. The course consists of quantitative experiments in the following: Measurement of length. Estimation of Mass. Determination of Density. Thermometry and Expansion. Calorimetry. Determination of Musical Pitch. Measurement of Velocity of Sound in the Air and in Solids. Reflection and Refraction of Light. Total Reflection. Refractive Indices. Elementary Spectroscopy.

Smith Ltd., Bridge Street. These note books form the basis on which marks are allotted for Practical Physics at the annual examination. Students presenting themselves for examination in Physics at the end of any Academic Year during which they have not attended the Laboratory, must also present themselves for examination in Practical Physics.
