Chemistry
The depaitment of chomlHtry has
done little outside of the oidinary
dally routine of lecture and laboratoij
work In the first place, the depart
ment has been greatly hindered foi
want of loom l.nbointotles were for
merly taxed to their utmoHt capacity,
but with the further addition of the
prep chem HtudentH the laboiatorlea
have been more than crowded. But
llttlo graduate work Us being done, ow
ing to lack of funds, lack of loom, and
the small number of instructors Re
cently two or three graduate students
came back to work for their doctors
degrees, but were refused because of
the above named conditions How
over, Piofpssor Nicholson is hopeful
that some clay the logouts may see tit
to provide moie tootn

thriving progress Concerning the
present condition of the depaitment.
Dr. Ross says "The depaitment of
sociology in the libraiy is becoming
very strong Soon our library will be
completely equipped for studies in the
hlstoiy and deelopment of sociology
During the past yeai many new books
have been recehed. Including a large
amount of Fionch, Oeiman, and Ital

that students will be more and more
