It is with a feeling of satisfaction that I present this my second 

 annual report. 



Although we were not successful in foot ball and base ball, we had 

 most satisfactory success in basket ball, winning every inter-collegiate 

 game, and in the annual Michigan Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association 

 Field Day, held at Hillsdale. June 7 and 8. 



In this field day we won the outdoor meet and the indoor contests, 

 and came in second in the tennis tournament, making a total of 10.'^. 

 points, the nearest college being Albion with Gi points, and Ypsilanii 

 ]S'ornials third with 37 points. 



With the completion of the new Women's Building, the young women 

 liave been exercising in the gymnasium contained in above building, 

 under the verv able direction of the instructor, Miss Averv. The 

 gj^mnasium was fitted up at an expense of |275, and all classes have 

 been given sj'stematic training during the entire three terms. The 

 effort has been directed towards developing the vital powers especially, 

 as also in strengthening the weak i){\rts and giving special work for 

 muscular deformities.

 the main butter-making room, with its steam separators, churns, 

 workers, and combined churns and workers, its cream vats, and other
