discontinue at the end of the third or fourth year.We
may as well recognize the fact that such aid is
liberally given by almost all colleges,and that we
shall be at a disadvantage if we do not do likewise.
Last Year the Board allowed one thousand dollars
for supplementary teaching. Owing to the general service -
ableness of Professor [?Tansch?] not much of this was used
becuase it was not really needed. Frank Supers
salary was 700$.
If now the Board will grant $1500
it will be sufficient to cover all the ground above marked
out. The sum will provide for all Engineer and
Electrician, a helper for Chemistry biology and physics,
a draftsman and instructor in penmanship, a
Secretary to the President, and leave two hundred and
fifty dollar for any contingencies that may arise.
The reports from different members of the Faculty
in my hands [?shar?] that they have instructed students,
Prof. Dean 92; Prof. Higley 260; Miss. Stahl 101.Prof
Chubb 203: Prof. Tansch 112; Prof. wilson 179; Prof.
Mercer 122; Prof. Bentley 81: Prof. Atkinson 165
Prof. Evans 198:
In the business department the [?number?]
of students was 174 and the receipts over 1300.00. It
ought to be said that in some classes the recitations [illegible]
but once a week so that the number of student looks
disproportionally large. The department of Chemistry made
the largest relative gain among the order departments.
Those figures do not mean that the Instructors
having the largest number of students have done the
greatest amount of work. In the nature of the
case the college classes are smaller than the lower
classes. The number of students in laboratory work
is never very large yet they require almost constant
supervision. The estimates for the coming year are as
follows:
Physics and Electricity $600 00
Biology 800 00
if possible 1200$
