Frank W. Blaekmar, Professor of Soci- 

 ology.

UNIVEKSITT OP MINNESOTA, MINNEAPOLIS. 



Samuel G. Smith, Lecturer in Sociology, 

 treats incidentally of anthropology in his 

 courses. 



TJNIVEESXTY OP MISSOURI, COLUMBIA. 



Charles A. EUwood, Professor of Soci- 

 ology. 



One course in ethnology, three hours a week, 

 throughout the year. 



There is no course given in anthropology 

 in the narrow sense of the term. The work 

 in ethnology ' necessarily covers the subject 

 matter of anthropology in a general way.' 

 The work now offered is only elementary. 

 Professor EUwood will offer advanced work 

 as soon as an assistant in anthropology 

 and ethnology is appointed.

The reply of Professor Charles E. 

 Bessey, Dean of the University, is quoted in 

 full: 



" As a separate suhjeet it has no place as 

 yet in the departments of instruction. In- 

 deed, the word, ' Anthropology ' does not 

 occur in our Annual Calendar. Yet we 

 have foryears offered instruction in some of 

 the topics which enter into scientific an- 

 thropology. Thus we have several courses 

 covering the greater part of the field of 

 somatology (in the department of zoology), 

 and psychology (in the department of 

 philosophy), as well as something of an- 



thropology proper (in the departments of 

 sociology and history). If these were to 

 be brought together in one greater depart- 

 ment the amount of anthropological work 

 offered and actually taken by students 

 each year would be found to be quite con- 

 siderable. I estimate that during the year 

 just closed fully 1,200 of the 2,200 stu- 

 dents in the University pursued anthropo- 

 logical studies. If we were to bring these 

 together they would make a department 

 second only to that of English, which has 

 about 1,800 students." 



The instructors are Drs. H. B. Ward 

 (Zoology) ; R. H. Wolcott (Physiology) ; 

 Dr. A. B. HiU (Psychology, Logic, Ethics) ; 

 Dr. E. A. Ross (Sociology) ; and Dr. F. M. 

 Fling and Professor H. "W. Caldwell (His- 

 tory).
