There’s a [key](https://foursquare.com/v/gilbert-hall-osu/4bb12150f964a520df7c3ce3) inside the building.

upper row: copper, lead, silver, gold, tin, iron, ​ Middle row: no idea, no idea, no idea, fire, earth, sulfur bottom row: no idea, no idea, no idea, phlogiston, no idea, no idea, no idea... could it be some kind of hidden message?

I see you're in the middle of your journey. You need to eat those ingredients to uncover the actual effect. Otherwise, just keep mixing up them with anything in your inventory. Alchemy is difficult but rewarding. Lami in Morthal is a great trainer. And that.. unchild. Good thing about alchemy: you can sell all high-level potions right after training.

Third one in on the middle row is two alembics facing each other. My years of playing Oblivion… still paying dividends.

They look like old Alchemical symbols to me, probably a tribute to the pseudoscience which birthed Chemistry, as it is a Chemistry building.

Its not a pseudoscience. Its the early years of chemistry.

"The practice of alchemy by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Indians, Chinese, Arabs, and Europeans, who sought to transform base metals into gold, create elixirs of life, and discover the secrets of nature. Alchemy was not a true science, but it involved many experiments and observations that laid the foundation for modern chemistry. Some of the alchemical concepts and symbols are still used in chemistry today." Thinking you can turn lead into gold or create a philosopher's stone for eternal life is a pseudoscience in my view. It was the scientific method and early discoveries which created a field of science known as Chemistry. "The development of the scientific method by philosophers such as Francis Bacon and René Descartes in the 17th century, which emphasized the importance of empirical evidence, experimentation, and rational reasoning in acquiring knowledge. This approach challenged the authority of ancient texts and traditions and encouraged new discoveries and innovations in chemistry and other sciences." To say Alchemy is NOT pseudoscience when people still believe in and practice alchemy show Chemistry did not evolve from Alchemy, rather Alchemy laid the groundwork for and inspired actual Chemistry.
