Nine men in the agricultural chemistry laboratory. The caption on the reverse reads:""Man on extreme right is T.W. Mast '97; next to him is Harry Scurr '98."" The lower right corner of the photograph is missing.
Men and women in a college chemistry laboratory. An adjoining laboratory, full of students, can be seen through a double arched doorway. A female student in the foreground appears to be wearing one of the men's hats.
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 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 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 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 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...
This photograph shows a full class in the chemistry lecture auditorium. A lecturer and an assistant are at the front of the class on the right of the image. The class appears to be all males. The photograph emphasizes the original sky light ceiling...
