DEPARTMENT REPORTS. Ill 



crowded condition has often resulted in confusion, loss of time and poor 

 work. 



Almost all the apportionment for the past year has been needed to pay 

 for material for laboratory work and to replace and repair apparatus. 

 I can report the addition of a fine volt meter, made by the Western Elec- 

 trical Instrument Company. 



Quite a large portion of my time for the past year has been devoted 

 to engineering work, due to my appointment by the State Board as College 

 Electrical Engineer and my duties as a member of the committee on the 

 installation of the College light and power system. A detailed report of 

 the work of this committee will be found under its proper heading. I 

 wish to express my appreciation of the work of Mr. George N. Eastman, 

 who assisted me in drawing the plans and specifications used in the 

 installation of the College electrical equipment. I also wish to thank 

 the members of the State Board of Agriculture and yourself for encour- 

 agement and assistance received. 



Most respectfullv, 



PHILIP*!?. WOOD WORTH.
