RErORT OF THE DErARTMENT OF PHYSICS. 



President David Friday, 



Michigan Agricultural Oollege. 

 Dear Sir: 



My annual report of the IMiysics Department for the school year ending 

 June 30, 1922, is herewith submitted. 



The department personnel consisted of the following: 



Charles W. Chapman, Professor of Physics. 

 .William E. Laycock, Associate Professor of Physics. 

 Oren L. Snow, Associate Professor of Physics. 



(Appointed, Jan. 1, 1922.) 

 Edwin Morrison, Assistant Professor of Physics. 

 Wilbur H. Thies, Instructor in Physics. 

 S. Elizabeth Morrison, Laboraton^ Assistant and Clerk. 

 Ralph M. Harford, Staff Photographer. 

 Wallace W. Tappan, Caretaker. 



The only addition to the teaching staff was Associate Professor Oren 

 L. Snow who returned to the Physics Department, Jan. 1, 1922, after 

 having been associated with the United Engine Company of Lansing, 

 Michigan, since he resigned, Sept. 1, 1918, to accept a more lucrative 

 position with that company. AVe welcome his return, feeling that the 

 loss sustained by us in his going has been more than made up by the 

 invaluable experience he has brought back to us. Mr. Snow was engaged 

 to fill the vacancy caused by the resignatiion of Mr. E. B. Butler, Sept. 1, 

 1921. 



Although short one instructor during the fall term, all scheduled work 

 of that term was given with one exception, — that is. Physics 4a was 

 omitted. This was accomplished only by crowding the work, using student 

 assistants for quiz and maintaining evening laboratory classes. 



The tabulation below furnishes complete information as to the subjects 

 in physics taught each term, the number of hours per w^eek devoted to 

 lecture, quiz and laboratory work and the enrollment in each subject, 

 per term.
