to the institution most efficiently equipped for the work which he 

 will undertake. At the time Dr. Breed accepted the call to the 

 Station, he was occupying the position of Professor of Biology at 

 Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania, which position he had 

 held for eleven years. 



Mr. Roy D. Anthony, A.B., M.S.A., who accepted the position 

 of Associate Horticulturist, entered upon his duties August 1, 1913. 

 Mr. Anthony graduated from Rochester University in 1908. He 

 afterwards entered Cornell University in order to pursue a course 

 in horticulture, with special reference to pomology, and graduated 

 from the latter institution in 1910. Previous to coming to this 

 institution, he occupied the position of instructor in pomology in 

 the State College of Agriculture. 



Hugh Glasgow, Ph.D., of the University of Illinois, who is 

 appointed to fill the position vacated by W. J. Schoene, will not 

 enter upon his duties until January 1, 1914. Dr. Glasgow is a 

 graduate of the College of Science in the University of Illinois, 

 receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1908. Since that time, 

 he has pursued advanced studies, particularly along zoological lines, 

 at the University of Illinois, and in June of 1913, he was granted the 

 degree of Doctor of Philosophy. He acted as student assistant 

 in the Department of Entomology at the University for two years 

 and, at the time of his appointment, held the rank of instructor in 

 that department. He specialized particularly during his under- 

 graduate and graduate work in the economic phases of entomology. 

 At the same time, he gave considerable attention to bacteriology, 

 plant pathology, protozoology and human parasitology. Such an 

 educational equipment is a prophecy of excellent work in the field 

 which Dr. Glasgow is now to occupy. 



These appointments to the staff of the Station, as has been the 

 case so far as possible in all previous appointments, have been made 

 with reference to building up a strong corps of men well equipped 

 for the study of the problems important to agriculture. I am able 

 to speak with great gratification of the excellent spirit which pervades 

 the entire staff in relation to its work and of the hearty co-operation 

 with which the members of the staff join in the study of problems 

 where cooperation is essential.
