DEPARTMENT REPOKTS. 141 



department have done "well. The plan of having senior students take charge 

 of some particular piece of work lias been continued and has worked well. It 

 is hoped in closing this report that the next one will be for a full year, as it 

 will thus be more satisfactory to those who consult it as well as to tlie head of 

 the department. This report only gives results under my own management, 

 from November 20, 1877.
