Grove and Stanlej^ K Crowe spent the summer quarter in the University 

 of Chicago. 



The department will suffer the loss of Dr. Frank E. Wood, a most 

 capable research man, who has accepted an assistant professorship at 

 Northwestern University. 



Professor Emmons and Dr. Wood have devoted an unusual amount of 

 time to statistical problems that have been referred to the department 

 by the different divisions of the ('ollege. 



The staff has continued its bi-weeklj^ lectures on advanced work in 

 mathematics, throughout the year. Other departments of the College, 

 as well as the Department of Mathematics, have availed themselves of 

 these lectures. 



Beginning with the fall term the department will offer mathematics 

 as a major subject in the Applied ^>cience Division. This will afford 

 the members of the staff an inspiration to push forward in certain lines 

 of mathematics in which they are working. 



The total number of students taking mathematics during the year was 

 1,808, divided among the different terms as follows: Fall, 627; winter, 

 57.') ; s]iring, 511 ; summer, 97. The total number of class periods for the 

 year was -117, divided among the different terms as follows: Fall, 125; 

 winter, 121; spring, 110; summer, 58.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE. 



President David Friday, 

 Sir: 



1. PERSONNEL. 



The Military Department opened the year with seven officers on, duty, 

 nine noncommissioned officers and twenty privates. The privates were 

 mostly on duty with the ca^■alry unit caring for the horses. The close of 

 the year saw the addition of one captain to the artillei'y and the relief of 

 one major of cavahy. The organization is therefore in good condition, 

 with two officers for each unit and one as the administrative head. 



2. EQUIPMENT. 



The material for instruction jiurposes is all that could be desired 

 save in one particular, the addition of more trophies to the Military 

 Museum which now is practically complete in its historical development 

 of firearms. The loan or donation of modern weapons, taken from 

 European battlefields, has been asked from the War Department but they 

 are hindered by lack of Congressional action.
