"Reduced  to  percentage,  77  per  cent  of  our  work  is  for  our  own  students
and  the  bcdance  of  23  per  cent,  for  students  of  other  colleges.  As  the
total  cost  of  instruction  is  %i:i,5S0,  the  work  done  for  our  436  students
costs  77  per  cent,  of  this,  or  $56,656.60,  or  |130  per  student,  wh4ch  is  very
low  compared  with  other  institutions.  Further,  the  average  salary  of  a
professor  here  is  about  |2,300,  the  total  cost  of  instruction  of  students  in
this  College  is  156,656.60,  divided  by  this  amount  gives  our  teaching  force
of  thirty-eight  professors,  asHCciate  professors,  assistant  professors  and
instructors  as  equal  to  24  1-2  full  professors.  The  total  number  of  stu-
dents. 436,  divided  by  this  number,  gives  18  to  each  full  professor,  f^r
higher  than  the  average  the  country  over,  which  is  about  10  students.
"Attendance  and  Woric. — The  attendance  for  1912-13  increased
about  20  per  cent,  over  that  of  1911-12  and  that  of  1913-14  more
and  about  26  per  cent,  over  that  of  1912-13,  being  293  for  1911-12,
352  for  1912-13  and  436  for  1913-14.  As  a  great  part  of  this  increase
each  year  has  been  in  the  freshman  class,  I  think  we  can  confidently
count  on  a  still  greater  increase  next  year.
^^Botany. — Number  of  students  taking  Botany  as  Major  in  Botany
1912-13  was  3;  in  1913-14,  6;  number  taking  work  in  the  department
in  1912-13  was  62;  in  1913-14,  70.  As  before,  the  vital  question  in
regard  to  this  department  is  that  of  sufficient  room.  |250  will  be
necessary  next  year  for  materials  and  supplies.
