Besides the regular teaching work, analyses and l)aking tests have 

 been made upon the wheat varieties grown by the experiment station in 

 1915, and a large number of samples of water, soil, feeds, ore, etc., sent 

 in mostly by farmers of Michigan have been examined and reported upon. 



In the matter of personnel of the department, we have been partic- 

 ularly fortunate. Every member of the staff has expressed deep inter- 

 est in the department by hard, conscientious work. This has been espec- 

 ially important this 3'ear Avhen the active head for so many years has 

 been called to more strenuous duties and the many details of department 

 administration have fallen upon other shoulders. I recognize fully that 

 without the help of every member we could not possibly have had the suc- 

 cessful year we have had, and I wish to express my great appreciation 

 for the loyalty and support of all. 



The teaching staff of the department for the past vear has been as fol- 

 lows: Pres. F. S. Kedzie, A. J. Clark, R. C. Huston.^.. E. Hartsuch, W. 

 P. Wood, D. T. Ewiug, D. C. Carpenter, H. L. Publow, C. D. Ball, K. 

 G. Hancher, T. E. Friedemann, E. L. Underwood and Mabel Mosher.

REPORT OP THE DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY AND 



PHYSIOLOGY. 



To the President: 



Sir — I have the honor to submit the following report of the Depart- 

 ment of Zoology and Physiology for the year ending June 30, 1916. 



As noted in my report last year Instructor Scott was replaced by a 

 new man and the choice fell on Joseph W. Stack, a graduate of Notre 

 Dame University. Before the end of the fall term it became evident that 

 more help would be necessary for the winter term and early in January 

 permission was obtained for the employment of an additional instructor 

 for Ihe remainder of the year. Some difficulty was encountered in find- 

 ing the proper person but late in January Mr. Stanard G. Bergquist, a 

 graduate of the University of Michigan, was secured and rendered effi- 

 cient service during the balance of the winter term and the entire spring 

 term. Both Mr. Stack and Mr. Bergquist have been re-engaged for the 

 coming year and it seems likely that no further changes in the teaching 

 force of the department will be made.
