10 The University Science Bulletin. 



The teaching staff has increased from one to five, and the student 

 roll, from a few to more than 250. A total of 2,000 pages, under 

 276 titles, have been published by members of the department, 

 and twenty-three scientific expeditions of the entomological museum 

 have been made during the past twenty-five years. These accom- 

 plishments, together with the various economic state problems that 

 have arisen from time to time, indicate an active and productive 

 period in the history of the department. 



In 1914, Science Bulletin issued its second entomological num- 

 ber. This was dedicated to Doctor Snow, and in it may be found 

 a chronological account of the activities of the department up to 

 and including the year 1913. As a matter of record, additions are 

 made below to the various sections as they have occurred since 

 that year.
