In his annual report Professor Chaplin, dean of the Lawrence Scientific School, states that the whole number of students connected with the school during 1889-90 was thirty-six, of whom seven were regular students. One received the degree of B. S. at Commencement. Latin is no longer required for admission and the prescribed courses have been extended by adding a course in electrical engineering and by dividing the course in natural history into two courses, one in geology and one in biology.
The school has no proper accommodations for the course in electrical engineering. The number of men who spplied for permission to take the course was so large that all could not be accommodated at the Cambridge Manual Training school. It the school were properly equipped with machinery and tools, there is no doubt that many students would avail themselves of the opportunity to learn the use of tools.
Professor Chaplin recommends the establishment of a thoroughly equipped and endowed workshop for manual training, of new courses in architecture and mechanical engineering, and also of courses of instruction in field astronomy and in scientific French and German.
