A chemistry class for women. A notation on the reverse reads: ""2nd Floor-East--Room now a corridor leading into PSRR (Physical Science Reading Room) on second floor of O & L Bldg. (Office & Lab Building). Class taught by Nellie Naylor."" Naylor, a...
A chemistry class taught by Erma Boyde Jones. The class is posing. Two of the men are wearing bowlers. Some of the students are wearing chemical aprons. The photograph mount is stamped on the rear:""L.B. Winslow; Photographer, Charles City, Iowa.""
A chemistry laboratory session. Twelve young men and women are working at their individual work stations. A row of fume hoods is against the back wall between large windows. Common laboratory apparatus can be seen throughout the laboratory.
A chemistry lecture class being conducted in the stadium lecture hall within the Chemistry Building (now Gilman Hall). A lecturer stands behind a long demonstration counter at the front of the class. A large periodic chart is on the wall above the...

A female student in a white lab coat using a Worburg apparatus. The Worburg apparatus was widely used in biochemical and biological research for measuring rates of reaction in which gases are involved. The student is noting readings in a lab record...
A female technician in a white lab coat recording the results of an experiment in organic chemistry. She is monitoring an apparatus used to separate natural products from plant material. The instrument consists of large glass tubes, beakers, and...
A freshman chemistry laboratory work session. Young men and women are working at their individual work stations. The lab is divided by a central aisle into two sets of work stations. A reagent supply cabinet runs down the length of the central...

A male student at the bench in a chemistry laboratory. A large number of equipment pieces (funnels, flasks, beakers, burets) are set out on the bench. The date of the photograph according to a note on the reverse is October 25, 1906.
A man in a lab coat pouring a liquid into a funnel, below which are several glass beakers. A volumetric flask is in the foreground. The glassware is circled in white as if for publication purposes.
A quantitative analysis class in the Chemistry-Physics Hall, probably in the 1890s. The caption on the back of the photograph states: ""Note blast lamp for igniting crucibles; Kipp gas generator; wash bottle made from round bottom flask.""
A student working in a newly designed laboratory for instruction in general chemistry employing semi-micro techniques. Test tubes and reagent bottles are arranged neatly at the work station. Four conjugate work stations are built as an island. This...
