carrying on the routine work. Mr. Craig was paid from the funds of 

 the Department during the several months of his services. All have ably 

 performed their duties. It is reasonable to suppose that we shall accom- 

 plish more as the two new men, Mr. McCue and Mr. Craig, become 

 familiar with their work. 



The Department should have an assistant professor. Fourteen 

 courses, including laboratory work, are now ofifered in Horticulture; 

 there is much horticultural work out-of-doors in the orchards, garden, 

 and on the grounds; there are many annoj-ing and burdensome non- 

 horticultural matters to be attended to, as the errand, the ice, the fuel, 

 the vegetable, and the scavenger work of the College community. Then, 

 too, the head of the Department is called away from the College more 

 and more to attend horticultural meetings, institutes, etc. The respon- 

 sibility of all this work should be shared and carried in part by an assist- 

 'ant professor. 



All of which is respectfully submitted, 



U. P. HEDRICK, 

 Professor of Horticulture and Landscape Gardening.
