	UW Madison Geography - History of Science Hall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Replacing a sandstone-faced, wooden structure that burned on December 1, 1884, Science Hall was completed in December, 1887, and was first occupied by University personnel in January, 1888.
		It was one of the first, if not the very first, buildings in the country to be constructed of all masonry and metal materials (wood was used only in window and door frames and for some floors), and may be the only one still extant.
		Science Hall today is dedicated mostly to the Department of Geography, including the Arthur H. Robinson Map Library, the Geography Library, and the Cartography Laboratory, as well as home for the State Cartographer’s Office and the Institute for Environmental Studies.

	Science Quotes
		Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
		Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
		Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

		No doubt those who really founded modern science were usually those whose love of truth exceeded their love of power; in every mixed movement the efficacy comes from the good elements not from the bad.
		The most important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have all been discovered, and these are now so firmly established that the possibility of their ever being supplemented in consequence of new discoveries is exceedingly remote.
		Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.

		In 1914 he began his studies in the new science of x-ray spectroscopy which had already established from x-ray spectra that there were two distinct 'shells' of electrons within atoms, each giving rise to groups of spectral lines, labeled 'K' and 'L'.
		He was a colleague of Sigmund Freud, who in 1884 was interested in the use of cocaine to cure morphine addiction.
		While his specialities are immunology and pathology, in his book, Lives of a Cell, his down-to-earth science writing stresses that what is seen under the microscope is similar to the way human beings live, and he emphasizes the interconnectedness of life.

	Ellen G. White Statements Relating to Geology and Earth Science
		Science is ever discovering new wonders; but she brings from her research nothing that, rightly understood, conflicts with divine revelation.
		ST Feb. 28, 1884 — The Sabbath was instituted at creation, when the foundations of the earth were laid, when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.
		Science, so-called, human reasoning and poetry, cannot be passed on as of equal authority with revelation; but it is Satan's studied purpose to exalt the maxims, traditions, and inventions of men to an equal authority with the Word of God; and, having accomplished this, to exalt the words of man to the place of supremacy.

		The exhibition "Gregor Mendel" is based on "The Genius of Genetics, a celebration of Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) through science and art".
		In 1865 Mendel presented his seminal paper on pea hybrids, Experiments in Plant Hybridization, and in 1866 this was published in the proceedings of the local Society for Natural Sciences.
		The contemporary artists in this exhibition share a fascination with the classification of nature, with the patterns observed in natural phenomena and in the animal kingdom, and with the scientific search for explanations of deep formal affinities across diverse physical and biological systems.
