It was under the leadership of Professor Chapin until 900. when it was taken over by Dr. William F. Mercer, who continues at its head. When the department was organized the school was small and had meager funds, as a consequence it had a slow growth for several years. As the college increased in numbers of students, funds were supplied for the normal growth of the department until, at present, more than six- hundred students receive instruction in the subjects offered each vcar 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 in Physiology has been operating for the past two years under the direction of Assistant Professor Emmett Rowles. This year a lab- oratory for Anatomy has been added and is under the direction of Assist- ant Professor Rush Elliott. Bacteriology is under the direction of Instructor Carl A. Frey. The special field of the head of the department is Histology and Embryology and Neurology. All the men referred to above have done and are doing special gradu- ate work in their lines. Mr. Rowles did graduate work in the University of Minnesota. Mr. Elliott, in Cornell University. University of Michi- gan, and Ohio State University. Mr Frey. in Cornell University and Ohio State University. There are now more than one hundred Pre-Medic students and a large number of students looking forward to graduate work in other lines cf Biology, as well as the large number of students in general subjects of Biology.
