A number of the teachers in the College and in the Agricultural School offer courses for which the Seminary gives credit. Burdick helped materially in the work of the Seminary by teaching the class in Homiletics three hours a week for the second semester. Shortly after the beginning of the second semester, Dean Main suffered a serious attack of illness from which he slowly recovered at St.

Thirty-second annual report of the Treasurer of the Alumni Association of Alfred University, the year ending May 31, 1918. That $650 be paid to Alfred University from the income of the Kenyon-Allen Endowment Fund.

NEW YORK STATE SCHOOL OF CLAY-WORKING AND CERAMICS
This organization was the means of bringing to the school various beautiful exhibits from the outside world such as textiles, paintings and alumni pottery. This is the one thing that the school lacks in keeping it abreast of modern developments. The demand for trained ceramic engineers is increasing rapidly and when the war comes to an end it will be much greater than it is.
The school's graduates have, on the whole, been successful in securing jobs, but they compete with those from schools that have made much greater expenditures on equipment.

In addition to their regular teaching work, the various members of the faculty have found time, as in previous years, to extend the service of the school to those outside the classroom. Miss Angeline Wood devoted a large part of the summer vacation in 1917 to supervising the food preservation work done in western New York under the State Food Supply Commission. Professors Cone and Banta have devoted considerable time throughout the year to the progress of the work of the Junior Home Project in Allegany and Steuben counties, which began three years ago.
Although it lasted only three days instead of four days as before, in terms of attendance and general interest it was one of the best ever held at the School. In addition to the above, virtually every member of the faculty has given talks and speeches in various places. Immediately after the close of the spring term, the director was requested by the Federal Board of Vocational Education in cooperation with the American Red Cross to form a party to study and report on methods for the rehabilitation and re-education of our children. disabled soldiers.
A large part of the month of June was spent in the Dominion of Canada, studying the methods used in that country. At the suggestion of the United States Food Administration, in cooperation with Alfred College, a special course on Foods and Dietetics was held during the winter and spring. In cooperation with some of the other special state schools of agriculture and with the advice of the Director of Agricultural Education of the State Department of Education, a course of preliminary study has been prepared.
This course will be submitted to the regents and if approved by them, an effort will be made to start a class early next school year. The use of the school for this purpose, as far as possible without seriously compromising the regular work, has been offered to the Federal Council for Vocational Education, under whose authority this new type of education will be managed. Charles Parker, a graduate of the school in March 1917, enlisted shortly after war was declared and was killed in action on June 2, 1918.
