put away and new apparatus set up for the different sections. Some of the 

 apparatus is used in common by agricultural, home economics and engineering 

 students in the basement hall of the Forestry Building, while the remainder of 

 the apparatus is in their respective laboratories. This condition has neces- 

 sitated smaller and scattered sections than would have been required had we 

 had more and larger laboratories. Furthermore, the Engineering Laboratory' 

 will not accommodate more than 16 students at most and is better adapted 

 for 12 or 14 students. 



We now have only two rooms for lecture and quiz work; formerly we had 

 five, well-planned rooms. 



In view of the fact that we will be called upon to give three years' work in 

 physics as a minor in the Applied Science course, whereas we have offered only 

 one year's work to engineers; two terms' work to both home econortiics and 

 agricultural students with a small group elective allowed, it becomes evident 

 that if we are to do any work in physics of a high standard, more and suitable 

 room must be provided in the very near future. 



Due to the cooperation of l)oth students and teachers, all work has been 

 carried on as efficiently as such cramped quarters would permit. 



Respectfully sul)mitted,

Professor of J^hysics.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL TRAINING. 



President F. S. Kedzie, 

 Dear Sir: 



I respectfully submit to you the following report of the Department of 

 Physical Training for the year ending June 30, 1921. 



The year opened with several new additions in the teaching staff. George 

 Clark came to us in the capacity of football and baseball coach, James Devers 

 as instructor in gymnasium and the combative sports, Miss Jessie MacCorn- 

 ack as instructor in girls' work. The most important addition to the work 

 was the establishment of the College Health Service with Dr. Clyde Reynolds 

 as director. The work was established to give adequate health education, 

 and medical and health care to all the students. A thorough medical and 

 physical examination was given every entering student, a series of health 

 talks were given all freshmen, while medical advice and medical attention were 

 given all who were in need of such help. It is planned to extend this service 

 just as far as possible and include both the sick and health program of the 

 entire college. Miss Gertrude Loudenback, an instructor in girls' work was 

 also added to the staff, coming to the College in April. L. L. Frimodig, J. G. 

 Heppinstall, A. N. Smith and Miss Helen Grimes who were with us the pre- 

 vious year remained throughout the year and did excellent work. Physical 

 training work was given throughout the year to all the students, both boys 

 and girls. The work for girls consisted of formal gymnasium work, folk and 

 aesthetic dancing, swimming, recreative games and athletics in all its phases. 

 There was a marked improvement in the organization of the work for girls 

 over previous years and the teaching was efficiently handled by the three 

 instructors mentioned above. The girls have the use of the gymnasium
