This year two women have taken Anatomy la and lb (Histology). 

 The department approved of opening this course as an elective to the 

 women of the Home Economics Division especially those students plan- 

 ning to go into health work or teaching phj^siology in the public schools. 



Dr. Johnson has utilized most of his forenoons during the winter 

 and spring terms in laboratory technique, making slides for class work. 

 Also Mr. Dwyer has been employed 215 hours on the above work. 



Following the trend of veterinary medicine which is now of a more 

 comparative nature, more attention should be given to comparative 

 study. This line of work we have well developed in gross anatomy 

 but not so well in microscopic anatomy since a great amount of time 

 is necessary in making slides of all tissues and organs of all our domestic 

 animals, much time is needed to develop a comparative text covering the 

 microscopic work for the students use. 



In former reports attention has been called to the inadequate quarters 

 for housing the anatomy department, the condition still exists while the 

 need is growing upon us, with the evolution of veterinary medicine, more 

 attention being given to the food animals. We find the procuring of 

 dissection material becoming very difficult, thus adequate quarters for 

 a comparative museum for the preservation of permanent dissections and 

 models and. storage for dissection material that we may have it when 

 needed and proper room, student and private to carry on the work are 

 essential to the full accomplishment of the anatomy department. 



I have called your attention to the efficient manner that Dr. H. E. John- 

 son has rendered his services to the department and veterinary division 

 in a recent letter on personnel. I recommend that he be retained. 



. Yours very truly, 

 F. W. CHAMBERLAIN, 



Professor of Anatomy. 

 East Lansing, June 30, 1919.
