Mr. C. C. Fowler ('09) has been made assistant professor of 

 chemistry at Iowa State College. 



Mr. D. W. Wilson, who spent the year of 1910-11 in graduate 

 work at Illinois, is now engaged in Cancer research at the New York 

 Hospital under the direction of Prof. Stanley R. Benedict. 



Mr. F. Wills ('10) holds an important position in the employ 

 of Armour and Company. Mr. L. A. Fritze ('11) is very satis-

 Works Department. Mr. N. R. Blatherwick (graduate Student, 

 1910-11) is located at Sioux City, Iowa. 



Plans have been drawn for a new building to house the various 

 chemical activities of the University. The portion devoted to 

 physiological chemistry will be very thoroughly equipped with all 

 forms of apparatus essential to investigation in the various lines of 

 research in physiological chemistry. Particular emphasis will be 

 placed upon graduate Instruction. 



Graduate Instruction was given to several candidates for gradu- 

 ate degrees during the summer Session of 191 1. It is planned to 

 include undergraduate instruction during the 1912 summer Session. 

 As in former years, a few students from the household science de- 

 partment are taking work in physiological chemistry. Eleven men 

 are now engaged in research work in physiological chemistry and 

 of these, eight will take advanced degrees in the spring. 



The workers in the laboratory have made the following contri- 

 butions to Journals since the end of the last academic year : 



P. B. Hawk. Post-anesthetic glycosuria;^ Urine formation 

 during ether anesthesia;^ The activity of the pancreatic function 

 under the influence of copious and moderate water drinking with 

 meals ;^ and A modification of Wohlgerauth's method for the quan- 

 titative study of the activity of the pancreatic function.^
