DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY. 



TEACHING. 



The work of the Department of Chemistry for the year 1909-10 has 

 been concerned more with the instruction of students than with investiga- 

 tions or extension work. The reason for this is evident when it is noted 

 that during this year occurred a change in the curricukim of studies, 

 whereby required work of chemistry was changed from the Sophomore 

 to the Freshman year. The el¥ect of this was to bring into the course 

 both sophomores and freshmen. Owing to the large registration, the 

 time of the members of the staff of instruction for investigation work 

 was hmited 



The registration may be classified as follows : 



Graduate students 19 



Regular undergraduate students 276 



Special students 54 



Winter-course students 178 



Total 527 



INVESTIGATION. 



As heretofore, this department has cooperated with other departments 



of the College in making such chemical analyses as they requested. The 

 analytical work performed may be summarized as follows : 



Samples 



Feeds 1 54 



Fertilizers 45
