4a EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



ingly small amount of criticism. The soundness of the Station position, that its 

 funds must be expended for the benefit of the people in general rather than for 

 the individual, seems to be generally accepted. 



Changes in Staff. 



Dr. H. D. Goodale, for nearl}^ ten j'ears in the service of the Department of 

 Poultry Husbandry, resigned June 30, 1922, on account of ill health. Dr. Goodale 

 came to the Station from the Carnegie Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New 

 York, and brought to the Department of Poultrj^ Husbandry the service of a man 

 trained primarily in biology and genetics. Despite the most discouraging con- 

 ditions which have attended his work, particularly the inability to control diseases 

 on account of deficiencies in land equipment and inability to maintain quarantine, 

 Dr. Goodale made consistent and continuous progress in his breeding work. At 

 the time of his leaving the Station, he had developed a flock of Rhode Island Reds 

 from which broodiness had been largely eliminated, which was early maturing, 

 which laid heavily in winter, and which finally had given an average of 200 eggs 

 per bird as the annual production. It was with very great regret that Dr. Goodale's 

 resignation was accepted. 



The position of Research Professor of Poultry Husbandry has been filled by 

 the appointment of Dr. Frank A. Hays, who entered on his duties September 28, 

 1922. Dr. Haj's comes to the institution after service in Delaware, Iowa and 

 Wyoming. He has already had a large amount of experience in research work 

 of this kind. 



On October 5, 1922, Dr. James B. Paige, for sixteen years head of the Depart- 

 ment of Veterinary Science in the Station, passed away. Dr. Paige had been 

 associated with this Station since its earlier v^ears, and had always given most 

 valuable service. Alike for his thoroughgoing honesty and his sound common 

 sense, Dr. Paige will be sorely missed. 



The position of Professor of Animal Pathology has been filled by the appoint- 

 ment of Dr. George Edward Gage, who is likewise head of the Department of 

 Veterinarj^ Science and Animal Pathology. 



On October 1 Dr. John B. Lentz was transferred from the position of Assistant 

 Research Professor of Veterinary Science to full-time member of the teaching 

 staff, and Veterinarian of the College. In this position Dr. Lentz' training and 

 experience will still be available to the Station. The position of Assistant Research 

 Professor of Avian Pathology has been created in place of that held by Dr. Lentz, 

 and filled by the appointment of Dr. Norman J. Pjde, a graduate of the University 

 of Pennsylvania. 



In the Control Service there have been a number of changes. Miss Ethel M. 

 Bradley resigned July 15, 1922, as Analyst, with the position filled by the ap- 

 pointment of Mr. Frank J. Kokoski. Mr. Ray A. Carter resigned in June, 1922, 

 as Collector of Blood Samples under the Poultry Disease Elimination Law, with 

 the position filled by the appointment of Mr. John J. Smith. Under date of 

 September 30, Miss Ann Smith, Analyst in the same service, resigned, with the 

 position filled bv^ the appointment of Miss Mildred H. Hollis. 



During the year the title of Miss Sanborn, Clerk in the Department of Poultry 

 Husbandry, was changed to Investigator. 



By action of the board of trustees, the Departments of Agronomy, Animal Hus- 

 bandry, Dairj' Manufactures, Farm Management and Rural Engineering were 

 recognized as Station dejjartments, with the heads of these departments members 

 of the Station staff.
