Empty Physics Laboratory

Title: Empty Physics Laboratory
Description: This image depicts an empty Physics laboratory, with apparatuses that students used to learn about electricity. According to the 1892-93 Normal Register, Electricity and Light was taught during the second term of the Elementary Physics course. In this course, the purchase, testing, care, and effective use of apparatus was given considerable attention. Hands-on experimentation was prioritized in the physics courses, and all students were expected to demonstrate their knowledge of apparatus manipulation in the presence of a class.
