laboratoiy assistants previously mentioned, the departmental work was 

 cared for by Associate Professor Laycock, Assistant Professor E. A. Arni- 

 strono; and myself. Assistant Professor Snow assisted with the work of the 

 summer school. 



Mr. Ralph M. Harford's name was added to the regular College payroll,

I wish to take this opportunity to thank tlie Botany D(>par1nient 

 for the loan of Dr. Wootlcock and Dr. de Zecuw during l\\v pei'iod of tlio 

 S. A. T. C., also the Department of Electrical Engineering for the loan 

 of Mr. Andres for part time during the spring term. 



In compliance with repeated requests, the faculty at its meeting, 

 March 17th, authorized the Physics Department to give three courses in 

 physics, namely: Physics 100, 101 and 102, as minors in the graduate 

 school. These added courses wdll make us feel keenly the shortage of 

 available laboratory and lecture room space. 



Considerable difficulty was experienced during the winter and spring 

 terms in giving five or six laboratory courses with only three laboratories 

 available. This lack of room made necessary the taking down of practically 

 all of the laboratory apparatus at the end of each term, and setting up new 

 laboratory apparatus for the following term's work. 



This has indeed, been a trying year for the Physics Department, since 

 only two of the regular teaching force remained with the department 

 throughout the entire year, but notwithstanding this and the other unusual 

 conditions that have prevailed, the work has been handled satisfactorily 

 to all concerned. 



Very respectfully submitted, 

 CHAS. W. CHAPMAN, 



Head Physics Department.
