Fellow, Purdue University); R. A. Studhalter, A.B., and 
H. C. Young, B.S. and M.S. (formerly Rufus J. Lackland 
fellows) ; Ruth Beattie, A.B., University of Missouri; Lucy 
D. Foote, A.B., Clark College; Clara B. Hill, A.B., Vassar 
College; Alice Pickel, A.B., Washington University; J. Ma- 
thilde Rollman, A.B. and B.S., University of Missouri; A. 
Lurie, B.S., Cornell University (formerly assistant horticul- 
turist, University of Maine). 
Graduates formerly connected with the laboratory and 
terminating their connection during the calendar year have 
received appointments as follows: A. R. Davis (formerly 
research assistant), appointed assistant professor of botany, 
University of Nebraska; R. A. Studhalter (formerly Rufus 
J. Lackland fellow), appointed assistant pathologist, Mon- 
tana Agricultural Experiment Station; H. C. Young (for- 
merly Rufus J. Lackland fellow), appointed instructor in 
botany, Michigan Agricultural College; Ruth Beattie, ap- 
pointed instructor in botany, Wellesley College. 
Work in the graduate laboratory was continued during 
the summer by G. W. Freiberg, S. M. Zeller, W. W. Bonns, 
and Ruth Beattie. R. A. Studhalter assisted in the eradi- 
cation of the citrus canker in Texas, Texas State Board of 
Agriculture, and W. S. Reeves pursued graduate work at the 
Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts. 
At the commencement, June 8, the M.A. degree in the 
Henry Shaw School of Botany, Washington University, was 
awarded D. C. Neal (thesis, “A consideration of certain facts 
in the parasitism of Botrytis cinerea and Glomerella spp.’’). 
From the preceding paragraphs it will be seen that the 
number of graduate students is considerable, and, for the 
present space arrangements, it is obvious to us that a maxi- 
mum has been reached. For the academic year of 1916-17 
there are registered fourteen students, of whom five are reg- 
ular research fellows, five hold positions as instructors and 
assistants in Washington University and in the Missouri 
Botanical Garden, one is a special research fellow, one an 
industrial fellow from Purdue University, and two are with- 
out positions in affiliated institutions. The majority of these 
students require considerable space, not only in the graduate 
laboratory, but also in the experimental greenhouse, and 
the number has taxed the facilities at hand. 
_ Work in Progress. — Diverse projects are under investiga- 
tion by various members of the staff, and these, for the most 
part, represent work continued during a period of years, and 
adequately presented through special articles and also ab- 
stracts of scientific contributions. There may be given here,
