Diii'ing the year 357 ispecial examinations were given, including 

 in entrance snbjects. 



An examination of this table will show that there were many less 

 classes in the spring term than in each of the other two — abont halt 

 as many. This trouble existed with us to some extent during the fjre- 

 vious year, but has been greatly aggravated by tlje new courses put into 

 effect Uist J^eptember. It has become practically iinj^ossible to handle 

 the work of the fall and winter terms with the ]nesent regular teacliing 

 force of the dei)artment, and I hope that some readjustment of the 

 courses will be made by which the work may be distributed more evenly 

 throughout the year. 



I desire to call your attention to <he lack of office room for the mem- 

 bers of this department. 



Respectfully submitted, 



WARREX BABCOCK, 

 Professor of Mathematics. 



East Lansing, June 30, 11)12.
