DEPARTMENT REPORTS. 83 



15th but called off at the time of the armistice. The Department of the 

 division took part in the exhibit prepared during the winter for Farmers' 

 week; have sent representatives to institutes and other gatherings of stock 

 owners, and, as heretofore, continued the rather extensive correspondence 

 with stock owners, county agents and others; a most important and time 

 consuming item but one well worth the attention given it. 



In closing permit me to summarize recommendations herein embodied: 



1. Engagement of an all time veterinarian to develop and direct an 

 out-clinic for here as with instruction in anatomy and pathology, we must 

 give the men such teaching as to enable them to acquire knowledge of 

 the diseases themselves. 



2. The development of a department of veterinary physiology and 

 pharmacology. 



3. Addition of an extension man in animal pathology. 



4. A sum immediately available of $50,000 for the erection of a 

 laboratory suitable for the relative work of veterinary anatomy and animal 

 pathology.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL PATHOLOGY. 



President F. S. Kedzie, College. 



Dear Mr. Kedzie — I herewith submit report of the Department of 

 Animal Pathology for the year ending June 30, 1919. 



The class work for the following year is as follows : 



Pathology 1 . . . . Fall term .... 10 hours week . . 21 students. 



Pathology 2a . . . Fall term .... 5 hours week . . 15 students. 



Pathology 2b. . . Spring term. . 4 hours week . . 15 students. 



Pathology 3 . . . . Spring term. . 5 hours w^eek . . 15 students. 



Vet. Sci. short course 8 wks.. . . 10 hours week. . 21 students. 



Pathology 100 Graduate course, major 1 student. 



The department was unfortunate in losing the services of Dr. D. J. 

 Lamoureaux whose untimely death occurred February 27tli following an 

 attack of influenza. Dr. Lamoureaux was devoting one-half his time to 

 abortion investigations and one half to college work and the loss of 

 his services was keenly felt. 



Dr. R. A. Runnells was added to the force January 12th. Dr. Runnells 

 is devoting his entire time to instruction work and the routine examination 

 of tissues in autopsy work, thereby enabling the writer to devote the 

 major part of his time to investigational work. Before Dr. Runnells was 

 added to the staff the writer's time was almost wholly taken up with in- 

 struction work and routine laboratory work and very little time was avail- 

 able for investigational work. 



However, it is gratifying to note that something has been accomplished 

 with reference to his researches in the nature of treatment in the sterility 

 in cattle. It has been the writer's privilege to meet with groups of 

 veterinarians in various parts of the state during the past year and to 

 lecture and demonstrate the treatment for the sterility in cattle. He 

 has also visited four other states and Canada to meet with their state
