REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY. 



President J. L. Snyder: 



Dear Sir: — Following is a brief report of the work of the Department 

 of Entomology for the 3'ear ending June 30th, 1911. 



Six regular courses in entomology have been given during the year, 

 course V being given through the entire j^ear. Besides this, two courses 

 were given to short course students during the winter term. This in 

 reality makes ten courses. 



Trips were made to Hillsdale and to Hudson to address meetings 

 held at the high schools in connection with the agricultural work of 

 the schools. 



The work of the year requires very little comment. Good-sized classes 

 were registered in all of the courses, and little has occurred to break 

 the even continuity of the work. 



The force has remained the same. Miss Eugenia McDaniel devotes 

 half her time to the college work and the writer gives a like amount. 

 Dr. Geo. D. Shafer has very willingly responded in time of need, and 

 helped out in emergencies, and Mr. P. W. Mason, a senior student-as- 

 sistant helped out in the large laboratory sections. 



A good deal of material has been collected and much has been bred 

 for demonstration work and for the collection, although our force has 

 been so regularly devoted to teaching that little material could be 

 closed into the collection. 



The year has passed pleasantly, the quarters are ample, and comfort- 

 able, and the work agreeable. 



Respectfully submitted, 



R. H. PETTIT, 

 Professor of Entomology. 



East Lansing, Mich., June 30th, 1911.
