RECENT CHANGES IN FACULTY. 



Dr. E. A. A. Grange resigned his position as Professor of Veterinary 

 Science at the close of last year to accept the Deanship of the Detroit 

 Veterinary College. Dr. Grange served the College very ably and faith- 

 fully for a period of fourteen years, during the greater part of which time 

 he was also State Veterinarian. 



Dr. Geo. A. Waterman, a graduate of the College with the class of '91 

 and since professor of Veterinary Science in the Storrs Agricultural Col- 

 lege, was elected to the position made vacant by the resignation of Dr. 

 Grange. 



Mr. Cyrus C. Pashby, B. S., resigned as instructor in mathematics at 

 the close of last year and Mr. W. O. Beal, a graduate of Earlham College, 

 Ind., and Haverford College, Pa., was elected to fill the vacancy. 



A. A. Crozier, assistant agriculturist of the Experiment Station, 

 found it necessary on account of failing health to sever his connection 

 with the College, June 15, 1898. Mr. Crozier has been connected with 

 the College for about five years and during all this time rendered ex- 

 ceptionally valuable service. His fine qualities of mind and heart make 

 his loss very much felt by all his associates. Mr. J. D. Towar, a graduate 

 of the College with the class of '85, of the Rhode Island Experiment Sta- 

 tion, was elected to the position of agriculturist of Experiment Station. 



At the opening of the year Mrs. Jennie L. K. Haner, a graduate of Pratt 

 Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y., was elected instructor in Sewing and Mrs. 

 Harriet G. Bacon, Matron of the Women's Dormitory. Mrs. Maude Mar- 

 shall was employed as instructor in Music. 



At the close of the fall term Mr. Charles E. Hoyt, the efficient Foreman 

 of the woodshops and foundry, resigned to accept a similar position in 

 the Lewis Institute, Chicago. On account of dificulty in finding a person 

 who could teach both woodwork and foundry, Mr. C. E. Baker was 

 employed to teach the foundry work and Mr. W. R. Bradford to instruct 

 in shop work and pattern making. These men have spent many years in 

 productive work and their instruction is valuable from a practical stand- 

 point. 



The unusually large class necessitated the employment of assistant 

 instructors in several departments. 



Mr. Chace Newman, who for several years had been clerk to the head of 

 the Mechanical Department, assisted in Mechanical Drawing and Shop 

 Work. 



Miss- Lilian Wheeler, '93, assisted in mathematics. 



Mrs. Linda E. Landon. librarian, taught two classes in English and 

 Mis. Ella Kedzie assisted one term in free hand drawing. 



During the fall term Mr. D. B. Baldwin, College Engineer, resigned and 

 Mr. L. F. Newell was elected to fill the vacancy. The heating and water 

 department which had for some time been under the direction of the 

 Mechinical Department was placed in charge of the College Engineer. 



Mr. Thomas A. Durkin, who had been Foreman of the Horticultural 

 Department for four years, resigned on May 1st, and Mr. Chas. Wood, 

 Napoleon, Mich., was elected to this position.
