It covers the one hundred and second year of the University and its eighty-first under the charter. Since the President's activities do not change radically from year to year, the fairly detailed analysis of them in the first paragraph of last year's report can be consulted if desired.

He's always wondering if he's making the most of his time, and he never seems quite sure of the answer. He soon became superintendent of the construction of the new Carnegie Library building, and in August of that year he married Miss Elizabeth Stillman, daughter of the late Charles Stillman, of this village.

The State Education Department approved this effort as an experiment and is prepared to continue the effort for another year or possibly two as an experiment, with the expectation that a permanent junior college, either under Alfred University or independently, will be established. . Much effort has been made this spring to bring the various elements involved in this project to agree on a good academic design. However, the difficulties encountered have been largely overcome and Alfred University has agreed to continue next year with a similar program to this year, but with a slightly larger and better balanced academic offering.

Under no circumstances will Alfred University be financially obligated and funds are committed to ensure more efficient and robust supervision of the course by the University. By joining these efforts, Alfr-ed University will be well promoted in the Jamestown area and the result will certainly be an increase in the number of students from that area. Approximately 5,280 centimeters of news about Alfred is available in the form of a scrapbook illustrating the year's work.

More than 500 individual student stories have been submitted to their hometown newspapers. Burdick who has worked under grants, in biology, -and this year has one of the Penrose Fun-d of.

REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF CERAMICS

36 ALFRED YEAR BOOK, 1937-38

This is in recognition of the fact that the teaching of ceramic engineering in the College meets the modern growing demands of the ceramic industry. Because of the rncogniz.ed ability and influence of the E.C.P.D.; due to the thorough examination and complete information obtained by him; and-d because of the committed independent and discriminatory attitude, as evidenced by the fact that not all ceramic schools were accredited, is a result of great importance and importance to the reputation and usefulness of the College. Regarding the accreditation of the College by the E.C.P.D. more details need to be considered.

The accreditation application is submitted to the Department of General Chemistry Technology and Engineering. The departments of Ceramk Art and Glass Technology - were completely outside the jurisdiction of the E.C.P.D. For this reason, the accreditation of only the General Ceramic Technology and Engineering Department does not in any way reflect advertisements about the ·other two departments.

The enumeration of the achievements of the past year in order of their importance to the welfare and usefulness of the College would place the work of the Research Department second only to the accreditation of the College. The department's results also attract the best attention throughout the country.

DEAN OF WOMEN'S REPORT 47 vision at much less cost than at any of the universities. There has been no serious illness among the women this year, but the infirmary has, as always, been much used for minor illnesses. It is gratifying that it seems possible to expand the infirmary's capacity and staff somewhat next year, as this will undoubtedly mean increased service.

In this office, a lot of time is given to personal interviews with students, students, committee meetings, planning and supervision of the social program for students and the work of the chairman of the University Hospitality Committee. In conclusion, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the assistance often received from you, Mr.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE STATE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE

Courses as set out last two years in 1-eng. with another general background in electricity during the first year, followed by student specialization in one of five different areas in the second year. These fields are: general electricity; power distribution; heating, r-cooling and air conditioning; telephony; and radio. 58 hoys were admitted during the past year, and the plan is to admit a further 60 during the coming year.

At least 150 applications are expected to be submitted, from which these sixty students will be selected. The actual employment opportunities in this field have not yet been determined, as no seniors have graduated yet. Nevertheless, it is expected that in the next year, due to the good range of contacts that are maintained, there will be a satisfactory placement of all able students.

The garden project that began last summer is nearing completion, and while it will take some time for the plants to grow and develop, the final seeding and planting is expected to be completed within the next month. About $8,000 has been invested in the farm machine shops for the work done there, so that excellent shop quarters are now available for this work. Additional funding is now being sought to complete the heating and air conditioning s;l10ps to service the expanded program in this area.

Through a direct grant of $5,000 from the state, many changes have been made to the main building, which have included new floors, paint, decorating and general repairs. Materials and labor are available to complete a.II of the existing laboratories at this time. Approx. $5,000 was spent on farm equipment during the past year, with the result that many of the departments have been fairly well modernized, although ad-.
