CATALOG 1952-1953 Special Facilities.-Special facilities for instruction and research include a well equipped model-making studio, a building material sample room, scientific instruments and technical aids for the study of light and color, and a motor-driven heliodon. The heliodon, one of few such instruments in the country, is especially useful in solving problems of solar orientation for schools, hospitals, homes, and other buildings. In ad- dition, there are well equipped studios for work in painting and drawing, commercial art, photography, graphic arts, costume design, and crafts. Graphic arts equipment includes a lithograph press, and in the crafts studios are the necessary looms, wheels, kilns, and benches for work in textiles, ceramics, wood, and metal.
