Temple University’s new physical science building, named Barton Hall in honor of astronomer Samuel G. Barton, a 1903 Temple graduate, was formally dedicated on April 7. The air‐conditioned structure contains 31 standard‐size classrooms, 25 instructional laboratories, 28 combination research laboratories and offices for faculty members, and 14 staff offices. Two lecture halls, seating 200 and 150 students, respectively, have complete facilities for visual aids, including hydraulically operated blackboards. A closed‐circuit television system will operate from any room in the building to the lecture halls or from one room to another.
