REPORT OF CHEMICAL DEPARTMENT. 



President J. L. Snyder : 



In presenting my report for the year of matters pertaining to tliis 

 department I wish to say that the amount of instructional work per- 

 formed in class room and laboratory was greater than that done in any 

 previous year by nearly 20 per cent. This necessitated the almost con- 

 stant use from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. of our main laboratory room during the 

 fall and Avinter term, but by the use of the ventilating fan recently in- 

 stalled the room has been maintained in fair condition. 



The following table shows how the work was divided throughout the 

 year :
