MI2uUTS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES   -



      The number of hours of wTork per week required by our students is from ten to

 thirty percent greater than is required in many other colleges and universities.

 -Although our institution is a small one, I am constrained to believe that the work

 done by our students will compare favorably in quality, as well as in quantity, with

 that done in largei colleges and universities.  Most of our professors and in-

 structors have a normal amount of work, but in some departments the work is com-

 paratively light.   This is particularly the case in the Teacherts College.  -lthQugh

 the number of students in this College is increasing, as has been shown in this

 report, the teaching done by its professors does not occupy their full time.  Dr.

 Snow, the dean of the Department, has been travelling in the interest of the Uni-

 versity most of the past session. I scarcely know what to say regarding his work

 thus far.   Sufficient time has perhaps not elapsed to judge of the fruitage and yet

 as I was somewhat disappointed that we had not some teachers to matriculate with us in

 January as the result of his travels during the fall and early winter. Prof. Noe's

 work has been light, through no fault whatevr (whatever) of his.   He is a good

 teacher and is willing to take his full share of work.  Assistant Prof. G-illis

 has been an untiring worker.   He has, in addition to classes assigned him by Dean

 Snow, taught some classes in the Academy, and he has worked early and late in gather-

 ing statistics by which we may advertise the institution more advantageously than in

 the past.   He is one of the most faithful workers we have.  He has during the last

 month and a half given me much assistance.

      One of our most pressing needs is a Registrar.  For several years Miiss King

has discharged some of the duties of a Registrar but her services as private Secre-

tary to the President, and recently as Librarian, have rendered it impossible for her

to keep the University records as they should be.   With the present enrollment of

students, the duties of Registrar will require the services of a competent person

on an average of about two hours per day, but it is highly important that this

service be provided.   I recommend therefore that I be authorized to arrange, with

the approval of the Executive Committee, for the services of a Registrar.
