DEPARTMENT OF PLANT-BREEDING. 



The experimental and teaching divisions of the Department of Plant- 

 Breeding have been more segregated during the past year than formerly, 

 and for the sake of convenience and clearness w^e submit the report of 

 each separately. 



TEACHING. 



Two years ago a teaching division was established as a branch of the 

 Experimental Department of Plant-Breeding in response to a demand 

 from students for instructions in plant-breeding. This demand is 

 evidenced by the fact that 37 students took the courses the first term and 

 27 the second term. During the past year, instruction was given to 59 

 students the first term and 33 students the second term. The total 

 number of University hours in undergraduate courses given by this divi- 

 sion was 276. 



In conjunction with the experimental division, the teaching division has 

 given instruction to 19 graduate students classified as follows: Ph.D. 

 (Major) 4; Ph.D. (Minor) 6; M. S. A. (Major) 3; M. S. A. (Minor) 

 4; Special (Graduate) 2. The University hours thus represented are 

 equal to 205, making a total number of hours for both graduate and 

 undergraduate courses of 481. 



The graduate students are graduates from the following institutions: 

 Cornell University, New Hampshire College, Barnard College, University 

 of Illinois, Indiana University, Hobart College, Virginia Polytechnic 

 Institute;, Washburn College, Michigan Agricultural College, Utah Agri- 

 cultural College, Massachusetts Agricultural College, Iowa State College, 

 Illinois Wesleyan University, Elmira College, Clemson Agricultural Col- 

 lege, Oregon Agricultural College, North Dakota Agricultural College, 

 University of Michigan, University of Florida.
