devoted to drill in laboratory work connected with factory control. 

 Among those taking the course were superintendents, factory managers, 

 chemists, sugar boilers, foremen, etc. I believe that the work done in 

 the course will prove to be of decided benefit to thos^ men in carrying 

 out the next campaign's work. 



At the close of last year Assistant Professor Eeed, who has been 

 a most valuable aid in instruction and investigation, severed his con- 

 nection with the department to take a position with the Detroit Test- 

 ing Laboratory as research chemist, becoming associated with Mr. Floyd 

 W. Robison, former State Analyst. Mr. Eeed during the nine years 

 he was connected with the department did most admirable work, and 

 was highly regarded by his co-workers of the department as well as the 

 students with whom he became associated. 



The personnel of the department for the past year has been : 



A. J. Clark, Assistant Professor. 

 R. C. Huston, Assistant Professor. 

 J. C. Bock, Instructor. 



B. E. Hartsuch, Instructor. 

 F. W. Bentzen, Instructor. 

 J. R. Mitchell, Instructor. 

 H. H. Morris, Instructor.

 terms) . 



F. C. Kaden, Assistant (of the class of 1912). 



G. W. Churchill, Caretaker. 

 E. A. Goodhue, Clerk. 



I wish to acknowledge the co-operation of every one of the above 

 named persons whose earnest endeavor has been tcf further the work of 

 the department. 



Respectfullv submitted,
