B. Instructor in Biology A. B., Ohio University, 1925 T HE Department of Biology has been a separate department since 1890. It was under the leadership of Professor Chapin until 1900 when it was taken over by Dr. William F. Mercer who continued as its head. When the department was organized the school was small and had meager funds, as a consequence the Biology department had a slow growth for several years, as the College advanced in numbers of students and funds the department had had a normal growth until at present more than four hundred students receive instruction in the subjects offered each year. Year after year equipment and teaching force have been added until the department is well supplied with both for the courses offered. A new laboratory for physiology has been added in the past year under the direction of Assistant Professor Rush Elliott. Bacteri- ology has been set apart for Instructor Carl Frey. More teaching force and equipment will be added next year, which has always been the policy of the department as far as money could be obtained to back it up. All the men. referred to above, are doing special graduate work in their line. There are now nearly 100 Pre-Mcdic students in attendance and a large number of students looking forward to graduate work in other lines as well as the large number of general students in Biology.

The Dafydd J. Evans Latin Prize is awarded annually for merit in this department. 26
