The rapid increase in the number of students in this depart- 

 ment has led to a very unwholesome crowding of the lecture- 

 room. With the present average attendance of the largest class, 

 there are but one hundred and seventy cubic feet of space to each 

 person. Unless more room can be provided it will be necessary 

 to remove the elementary classes to some other University build- 

 ing, — a change which will be very undesirable, as it will separate 

 the students from the collections.
