The associations or societies serve a different purpose. They bring
together larger companies of professors and graduate students, who hear
and discuss such papers as the members may present. These papers are not
connected by one thread like those which come before the seminaries.
They are usually of more general interest, and they often present the
results of long continued thought and investigation.
BUILDINGS, LIBRARIES, AND COLLECTIONS.
The site selected when the University was opened in the heart of
Baltimore, near the corner of Howard and Monument streets, has proved so
convenient, that from time to time additional property in that
neighborhood has been secured and the buildings thus purchased have
either been modified so as to meet the academic needs, or have given
place to new and commodious edifices.
The principal buildings now in use are these:
(1). A central administration building, in which are the class-rooms for
classical and oriental studies.
(2). A library building, in which are also rooms devoted especially to
history and political science.
(3). A chemical laboratory well equipped for the service of more than a
hundred workers.
(4). A biological laboratory, with excellent arrangements for
physiological and morphological investigations.
