Table showing increase of student hours. 



The last table is given to show the rate of increase and decrease of 

 the students receiving instruction in the department for the past eight 

 years. There has been fluctuation but a total gain from the beginning 

 of 130 per cent. And in this connection, it is significant to note that the 

 instructional force has hardly kept pace with the general increase; al- 

 though but slightly behind it. The department has now two of professor 

 or assistant professor grade and four of instructor grade. With moder- 

 ate increase, the addition of an instructor or two will probably be ade- 

 quate to properly care for the work. 



Very respectfully sunibitted, 



VICTOR T. WILSON, 

 Professor of Drawing and Design. 

 East Lansing, Midi., June 80, 1909.
