DEPARTMENT REPORTS. 123 



The number of graduate students in Ibotany has been ismall the past 

 year, there being only two majoring in the subject. One of these, W. D. 

 Milks, Halftime Graduate Assistant, has completed his work for the 

 M. S. degree, while the other, Panos D. Caldis, will complete the third 

 teion at the iclose of this summer, at which time he will go to the Univer- 

 sity of California where he has been awarded a fellowship. It is gratify- 

 ing to note that those who major in botany have been able to find places 

 upon the completion of their work here, which would indicate that the 

 work was recognized as of good grade. 



In conjunction with Professor L. H. Harvey of the Western State Nor- 

 mal School, I have been asked to advise with and plan for the botanical 

 work of the Land Economic Survey which is conducting a preliminary 

 sui'vey this summer in Oliarlevoix County and will probably extend its 

 field to several other counties next year. 



Respectfully submitted,

The unification of tlie work in chemistry in the freshmen year of all 

 divisions was put into efl'ect tbis year. This was of great value in that 

 we were enabled to handle over one hundred additional students per 

 term, with one less instructor than fonnerly. The fact that only one 

 change was necessary in the personnel (^f the department insured a
