STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



KEPOKT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY. 



F. S. Kedzie, President, Michigan Agricultural College: 



Dear Sir — ^Accepting the opportunity, I herewith make the first annual 

 report for the Department of Anatomy which has been officially recog- 

 nized for the past year only as an individual member of the Veterinary 

 division. 



The work of the department has been handled entirely by myself ex- 

 cept for three hours' assistance in laboratory during the fall term ren- 

 dered by an undergraduate student. The following table which is self- 

 explanatory shows in part the work done:

Further time is required to prepare gross and microscopic material for 

 laboratory use. 



During the year two illustrated lectures on anatomy and poultry dis- 

 eases were given at the poultry round-up, one lecture before the Society 

 of Comparative Medicine and one at the banquet of the Battle Creek 

 Poultry Association. Solicitation for the preparation of articles dealing 

 with the diseases of poultry have come to me from a poultry journal but 

 there has not been time available to comply with the request. 



The work of the department warrants the services of an assistant on 

 full time. Further the department needs less intensive quarters. The 

 work in microscopy has been crowded since its inception. Since the 

 laboratory for gross anatomy has been used as an embalming room, 

 storage room and for class work in dissection, although the room is not 

 large enough for any one of the uses to which it is put, the triple use 

 renders it even a dangerous place for some students to occupy, partic-
