REPORT OF THE DEAN OF AGRICULTURE. 



To President Kedzie: 



I am, submitting herewith a brief report because the heads of the 

 departments of the Agricultural Division have furnislied detailed in- 

 formation relating to their work. I*rogress made during the past year 

 was very satisfactor}^ to both faculty and students. • Few changes took 

 place in the personnel of our staff. I'rof . V. M. Shoesmith resigned March 

 1st, to assume the management of a large farm estate and was succeeded 

 by Prof. J. F. Cox who has been acting in charge since. Some additions 

 have been made to the equipment for instruction work, laboratory courses 

 have been more definitely outlined and the general efficiency of the in- 

 struction work greatly increased. A course in land drainage has been 

 authorized by the faculty to be given jointly by Farm Mechanics and 

 vSoils departments, thus meeting a very pressing need. 



The graduating class of the year receiving the B. S., degree, including 

 general agriculture, horticulture and forestry, numbered 139. The fol- 

 lowing advanced degrees were awarded, viz.: Master of Science 13, 

 Master of Agriculture 3, Master of Horticulture 1, Master of Forestry 1.
