The influence of the new AppUed Science course on the activities of the 

 department cannot be estimated at this early date. There is aheady, as 

 there has been for many years back, a considerable degree of interest mani- 

 fest on the part of students who desire to take advantage of our exceptional 

 facilities in an atmosphere of agricultural and technological education. 



The department is in a strong position in respect to personnel and material 

 equipment to undertake intensive and extensive instructional work in the 

 fields of bacteriology and hygiene. However, for a number of years past we 

 have not had sufficient funds to purchase much needed equipment and sup- 

 plies, the lack of which has been prejudicial to the maximum productive 

 effort. 



May I urge that steps be taken to increase the appropriations for current 

 expenses and equipment, so that we may be able not only to maintain the 

 high standards of the past, but also to develop to a still higher plane. It is 

 imperative that certain alterations be made in the building. Research 

 laboratories to the rear of the lecture room should be utilized for class room 

 space by enlarging the present lecture room and providing another smaller 

 lecture room. We are required to seat over a hundred students in a room 

 provided with only seventy-two seats. Furthermore, we have to undertake 

 the accomodation of two or more classes at the same hour with only one 

 classroom available. An animal room for small experim-cntal animals 

 should be and could be provided at slight expense between the main 

 building and the stables. 



I take pleasure in commending all those who have assisted in the teaching. 

 Professors Fabian and Mallmann leave nothing to be desired in their conduct 

 of the main student laboratory and the classes in general bacteriology. The 

 former has progressed well in the development of a course in industrial 

 hygiene, and a course in the bacteriology of the apiary; the latter has 

 developed the great interest of the engineering students in sanitary bacteri- 

 ology. Professor Ruehle has proved a well ciualified teacher in dairy bacteri- 

 ology, both of veterinary and agricultural students, and Mr Cooledge of grad- 

 uate students. Mr. Tweed has demonstrated outstanding ability as an 

 instructor in general bacteriology and as an inspiring director of advanced 

 students. Mr. Friedemann has assisted in the student laboratory very 

 satisfactorily. Professor Huddleson has had charge of the pathogenic bac- 

 teriology, serology and immunology and has acquitted himself with credit. 



It is planned to release Mr. Huddleson from teaching hereafter and place 

 Professor Stafseth in charge of this phase of the work. Leave of absence was 

 extended Professor Stafseth till July 1st. Dr. Snyder had charge of the 

 winter term short course stuelents in agricultural 1 acteriology. He is an excel- 

 lent teacher as elemonstrateel by his success with the class. 



It is with no small measure of regret that I announce the retirement by
