REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS. 



President David Friday, 



Michigan Agricultural College. 

 Dear Sir: 



The following is the report of the Department of Economics for the 

 year 1921-22. 



The total enrollments for the year were 965, distributed as follows : 



By terms : Fall, 390 ; winter, 260 ; spring, 260 ; summer, 55. 



By classes: Senior and junior, GOO; sophomore, 218; freshman, 248. 



By subjects: Economics, 804; Sociology, 161. 



The total number of hours taught during the year by membei*s of the 

 department was 1354, divided as follows : 



By tei-ms : Fall, 444 ; winter, 348 ; spring, 346 ; summer, 216. 



By subjects : Economics, 1114 ; Sociology, 240. 



By teachers: Mr. Hedrick, students, 372; hours, 492. 



Mr. Dunford, students, 249 ; hours, 504. 



Mr. Horner, students, 299; hours, 348. 



The department during the past year has made some creditable gains. 

 Some eight or ten courses have been added, mostly in the Applied Science 

 Division, — and a new teacher. Professor Horner came to us from Colum- 

 bia University and has had charge of the classes in Applied Agricultural 

 Economics. We have had gains, too, in the number of students who have 

 elected subjects in the department, as a comparison of this report with 

 that of last year will show. A recent interest is shown, also, by the fact 

 that some five students have now enrolled for graduate study, using 

 economics either as a major or minor. 



Very respectfully, 



WILBUR O. HEDRICK, 



Professor of Economies. 

 East Lansing, Michigan, June 30, 1922.
