kinds are rendered unavailable. It is even at times impossible for
the instructor to meet the same class always in the same room, which
is a source of annoyance to the instructor and very detrimental to the
class discipline. An effort has been made to avoid that difficulty by
dividing some of the larger rooms and the ends of the halls have
been cut off into class rooms, and space has been gained by the
removal of the Archaeological collections to the Library and the
withdrawal of the Department of Mechanical Engineering to the new
building, but the growth of the work in all departments has more than
neutralized this gain. It will be absolutely necessary to provide more
accommodation before another year.
The buildings under my charge have been kept'in good repair
and such improvements made as were judged absolutely essential.
During the past summer the entire steam heating and ventilating
systems in College Hall have been renewed in order to connect them
with the .Central Heating Plant, and the building has been wired for
electric light. This work has been somewhat destructive to the
appearance of the building, and it will be necessary to repaint a
number of the rooms. The oversight of this work has been put in
the hands of the Architectural Department, and a method of decoration
and color scheme has been adopted for the whole building. By
next autumn it is hoped that the work may be finished.
Very Respectfully,

DEAR SIR:—The recent appearance in the University Bulletin

1889, 42 ; in 1890, 48; in 1891, 72 ; and this year, 117.
