48 Agronomy. 



ant Professor of Agronomy with special reference to Soils, and 

 entered upon his duties under the new arrant^ement October ist. 



Professor George F. Warren, Horticulturist of the New Jersey 

 Experiment Station, was elected Assistant Professor of Agronomy 

 and began his duties on October ist. 



These additions to the Department of Agronomy have made it 

 possible to readjust the work of the Department. Professor Lyon is 

 to devote his time to research work and is to have general super- 

 vision of the work in soils. He is not to teach classes, but may re- 

 ceive post graduate students. Professor Fippin is to have immediate 

 charge of the undergraduate instruction in soils. Professor Jolin W. 

 Gilmore, who has been promoted from the position of Instructor in 

 Agronomy to that of Assistant Professor of Agronomy, is to con- 

 tinue in charge of the experimental work along the line oi crop im- 

 provement and has been placed in immediate charge of some of the 

 undergraduate classes in the Department. In order that Professor 

 Gilmore may give more time to the work of instruction and research, 

 he has been relieved of the business management of the farm, v.'hich 

 has been placed in charge of Professor Stone. Professor Stone has 

 been placed in charge of the instruction in Farm Practice, has been 

 definitely assigned to the care of the students in the Winter-Course 

 in General Agriculture, and will continue to give the instruction in 

 agronomy to the Winter-Course students. In order that he may 

 have time for these new duties he has been relieved of the extension 

 work which has been placed in the hands of Professor Warren, 

 whose recommendations I have incorporated in this report. 



I am glad of this opportunity to testify again to the energy and 

 devotion to duty as well as the personal co-operation received from 

 every member of the stafif of the Department of Agronomy. 



THOMAS F. HUNT, 



Professor of Agronomy.
