Dear Sir — A review of the work of this department for the year 1911- 

 1912 leaves little to be desired in matters of zealous industry and 

 harmony among the members of the teaching staff. In results obtained 

 the year will compare favorably with any earlier year. Indeed I am of 

 the opinion that the department attained the high water mark of effi- 

 ciency. 



At the close of last year's work there were good grounds for appre- 

 hension that we should not be able to present so satisfactory a report 

 at this time. Of the 8 teachers engaged with us in the spring term of 

 1911, 4 left for other fields of activity. Four new appointments w^ere 

 made before the beginning of the fall term and the fact that just half 

 our staff was made up of new men at this time was sufficient 'excuse 

 for some misgiving. 



It is therefore Avitli the greatest pleasure that I commend the efforts 

 of all the teachers of this department, both old and new, to promote 

 the high measure of departmental achievement which has made possible 

 the statement of my opening paragraph. 



At the beginning of the fall term our departmental staff included the 

 following teachers whose names are given in order of seniority of ap-
