jiolicy toward llio wonicn shidonls would result to ndvaiita.co on both 

 sides. The dean should feel free to let the youn<;- Axonicn «leeide most 

 matters for themselves in the conduct of their daily collej^e life. 



Our prouress has been hampered by the fre(pieiit chanue of teachers 

 and the low salaries ]>aid. the restricted facilities for housino- women 

 students and by the great i>rominence yiven to s<K-ial alfairs. Tiiis de- 

 j)artmeni has, without doubt, a great future before it. Practical tech- 

 nical training for wctuien Avill be given within a few years in every 

 school and institution A\hich admits women. l*rofessors and instructors 

 nuist be prejtared for these positions and the agricultural colleges 

 should be ready to supply them. 



I 'wish to express to the president and faculty my sincere aii])recia- 

 tion of their consideration and assistance in cari-ying on the work of 

 the women's depaHuHMit. In leaving this work I take wilh me most 

 ])leasant memories and wish for the Michigan Agricultural College 

 and all those connected with il the greatest success and happiness.

REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE VETERINARY DIVISION. 



President J. L. Snyder: 



Dear Sir — The report for the Division of Veterinary Science is here- 

 A\iih submitted. 



In my last annual report was mentioned the proposed rearrangement 

 of the courses of study and likewise the ]»rogTess toward a more com- 

 ]tlete organization of the division. Five departments ])roiK)sed at that 

 time have been nominally created. The courses of the division (ex- 

 cluding subjects given in other departments of the college) have been 

 disdibutcd as then suggested, and, after trying out one full collegiate 

 year, the increased facilities otVered in instruction work bespeak the 

 success of the arrangement. lOach de]»artment so created has been 

 placed under the supervision of a veterinarian of the teaching staff, and 

 though each individual is immediately resixmsible to the Dean of Vet- 

 erinary Science he, none the less, has an interest at stake in his efforts 

 to so equip and conduct the de])artnient assigned to him as to stimulate 

 work of a high character; naturally this redounds to material advantage 

 of the division as well as to the enrollment therein. 



Of the de]»arlm<'nt of jdiarmacology. Dr. J. S. ^McDaniel has the fol- 

 low ing to say: "This department, created at (he close of last year con- 

 si i hit ing one of the sub-divisions of the veterinary scieTice course, has, 

 w itli the netw arrangement, had a v(M-y successful year. Work greatly 

 imi»roved, adding class room hours and conslilnies an eminently work- 

 able schedule. That even greater eflieiency may be attained, it will be 

 necessary to add to the present equipment of our laboratory, but even 

 with enicient equi])ment, j)rogress that should be evidenced must be 

 hindered as a result of the sandwiched-in condition of the laboratory
