Hinebauch. of the Department of eterinary Science, resigned in lanuarv. Professor Sidney S. Tuomblv has been elected his successor. .Additions have been made to the corps of instructors in the Mechanical Department. The growth of the University for the past year has been very marked, not o much in the erection of buildings as by the general equipment of the laboratories. These additions will be noted under the various departments in the pages that follow. While we did not receive a fair allowance from the past Legislature, we may feel somewhat complimented m getting anything at all. Twelve thousand dollars is a small amount toward the erection of a sixtv thousand doll.ir building, but it will make a beginning. The new Mechanical building, which is already begun, is three hundred feet east of the l.lectriral building, and will be one of the largest and best equipped in the country. The increase in the number of students this ear is in keeping with the general prospeniv of the school. Total number April 20 was 532.
