and swimming pool from 8:00 to 12:00 in the morning, leaving the entire 

 afternoon and evening free for the men of the institution. 



The gymnasium work for men was divided into twelve sections which, with 

 the athletics and the girls' work brought the gymnasium into use from 8:00 

 a. m. to 8:00 p. m., six days in the week. Representative college teams were 

 maintained in football, baseball, track, basketball and cross-country and all 

 had fairly good seasons. Inter-class and inter-society teams were active in 

 all the sports, and I believe there was more general participation in 

 recreative activities than ever before. 



There is need for more lockers in the gymnasium, as with our limited number 

 it is necessary to put two or three in a locker, which is always unsatisfactory. 



I wish again to respectfully call your attention to the necessity for a stadium 

 or some adequate seating equipment for handling out-of-door sports. We 

 cannot bring the strong western teams to our field under present conditions 

 and it is bad for the institution to play all of our important games away from 

 the College. Then, too, our present stands are ])ecoming unsafe and we are 

 told must he condemned very shortly. 



Respectfully submitted,

 Director of Physical Training.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY. 



To the President, 



Sir : I have the honor to submit the following report of the Department of 

 Zoology and Physiology for the year ending June 30, 1921: 



There are few changes to be noted in the work of this department for the 

 year. As forecast in my last report, Mr. Bergquist has been able to care for 

 the work in geology in a most satisfactory manner and it has not been neces- 

 sary to add a new instructor. The work in zoology and physiology has pro- 

 gressed normally and requires no special comment. Recent changes in cur- 

 riculum are likely to require some additions during the coming year because 

 of the reinstatement of physiology in the Home Economics course and the 

 possible large increase of students in both physiology and zoology in con- 

 nection with the Applied Science course. Naturally however, it is impossible 

 to anticipate these at present. 



A rather unusual amount of outside or extension work has ])een done during 

 the year by several meml)ers of the department force. It has been cus- 

 tomary for many years to call on this department for its stereopticon in con- 

 nection with the various lectures and other entertainments given at the College, 

 and at some seasons hardly a week ]:)asses that our instruments are not thus 

 usetl. In addition, the head of the department and Professor Conger have 

 given talks or addresses with some frequency before various clubs, societies 

 and schools mostly in the immediate vicinity but occasionally at some distance. 



The department has become much interested in the development of the fur 

 farming industry in Michigan, particularly fox farming. Early last year 

 the fox breeders of Muskegon county appealed to the College for assistance 

 and advice in some of their problems and eventually we undertook investi-
