Experimental College Physics by Marsh W. White is a comprehensive and methodically structured laboratory manual designed for college-level physics instruction, reflecting the evolving standards of physics education in the early 20th century. This is the extensively revised second edition (1940), expanding on the original 1932 edition by adding ten new experiments and modernizing existing ones to reflect advances in experimental procedure and educational feedback. The text is divided into clearly organized sections spanning General Principles, Mechanics of Solids, Fluid Physics, Heat, Sound, Magnetism and Electricity, and Light—totaling 74 experiments. It includes combined procedures for more efficient lab use, updated figures, and supplemental problems. The book was used as a practical and pedagogical tool across numerous laboratories and universities, notably incorporating methods to make experiments more accessible and affordable without compromising instructional value.
 
This vintage hardcover copy, published by McGraw-Hill in 1940, is in solid condition for its age. Binding remains firm, and pages are clean and legible, with light age toning. There is no dust jacket, as issued. Corners show minor wear, and the boards have some light rubbing. A well-preserved and highly usable copy of a historically significant physics education text.
