Though the discipline known as chemistry has laboriously cast off its ancestral trappings of hermetic ritual and alchemical pursuit, the quest to fathom the enigmas of transformation and composition persists undiminished. Those now drawn to this ancient science seek not the legendary stones and nectars whispered of in medieval shadows, but rather, subtler means to elevate the conditions of mortal existence and pierce the veils which shroud the material universe. Under the shadowed arches of Miskatonic, chemistry assumes a role both vital and profoundly unsettling—serving as cornerstone to the liberal education and gateway to the further disciplines of medicine and the natural sciences, whose boundaries are notoriously porous and uncertain.

Within our halls, students—novice and adept alike—are received into an environment furnished with both modern conveniences and the silent residue of older inquiries. Our six dedicated laboratories—spanning the domains of inorganic analysis, sustenance investigation, physical inquiry, and the realms of both quantitative and qualitative measurement, as well as the subtle art of organic transformation—stand in readiness, together with specialized repositories for reagents and corrosives, and a chamber reserved for the study of combustion. The very architecture conspires to facilitate rigorous experiment and observation: classrooms replete with workbenches equipped for all necessary manipulations, incorporating the elemental powers of water, fire, force, and extraction.

Scholars ascending to the higher rites of the curriculum may, by formal petition, reserve sanctuaries within these laboratories, and are permitted the rare privilege of access at any hour, that their researches might continue unimpeded by circadian restraint.
