MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 5 
RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTION 
During the entire year the third-floor laboratory has been 
more than crowded with the research work in progress. At 
the beginning of the academic year 1922-23 it was found neces- 
sary to expand in some way, and laboratory space was also 
arranged in the south basement. Owing to the uses to which 
this basement is already put, and likewise owing to the con- 
ditions of light and ventilation, further expansion in this way 
is impossible without costly alterations. 
Three courses involving lectures—besides the usual research 
courses—have been offered during the first term of the aca- 
demic year, and a similar number are arranged for the second 
term. The need of space for laboratory course work has been 
temporarily supplied by utilizing a portion of the lecture hall. 
Such arrangements emphasize the pressing need of a labora- 
tory wing or building. The library is of necessity encroaching 
upon all available space, and provision for the laboratories 
would permit of the necessary library expansion. The de- 
mand for a laboratory building has, moreover, on other 
grounds been warranted for some time, since it is impossible to 
provide all required types of modern equipment, power, and 
supplies in the present quarters without reconstruction and 
without seriously marring the building in respect to its prob- 
able ultimate use. 
The School for Gardening, which, as announced in the last 
annual report, was to be reorganized and reopened in the fall, 
is now an established fact. Dr. Edgar Anderson, of the Mich- 
igan Agricultural College and Bussey Institution of Harvard 
University, took charge at the opening of the school year, and 
there are now some eighteen students enrolled. <A full account 
of the courses offered and a general plan of the School ap-

Graduates, Fellows, and Investigators.—The following is a 
list of those to whom have been extended the regular privileges 
of the laboratories, whether as graduate students, candidates 
for degrees in Washington University, or as special investi- 
gators doing co-operative or independent research; likewise 
special lists of the several fellowship groups: 
Graduate students—H. R. Rosen and F. 8S. Wolpert,
