Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report of the Secretary, 1909 The aim of laboratory work should be to supplement the pupil's fund of concrete knowledge and to cultivate his power of accurate observation and clearness of thought and expression. The exercises should be chosen with a view to furnishing forceful illustra tions of fundamental principles and their practical ap plications. They should be such as yield results capable of ready interpretation, obviously in con formity with theory, and free from the disguise of unintelligible units. Slovenly work should not be tolerated, but the effort for precision should not lead to the use of apparatus or processes so complicated as to obscure the principle involved.

Excerpt from Annual Report of the President and Treasurer, 1909 To the Board of Trustees of Wellesley College: - In presenting my eleventh annual report to the Board of Trustees I must gratefully acknowledge their kindness in granting me a leave of absence, which became necessary owing to severe illness in the spring of 1908. As the autumn approached, it seemed evident that it would be unwise for me to undertake a winter at Wellesley, and I must thank the Trustees for the cordial way in which they granted me a year's vacation. Happily, it was not necessary to avail myself of the whole of it, and I returned to college by the middle of May. As Commencement Day this year did not come until June 29th, I thus had more than six weeks of the very busiest of the college life. I must first of all express my warm appreciation of the able manner in which affairs had been conducted during my absence by the Dean and by the administrative officers associated with her. With the increasing number of students, the work of the Dean's office becomes more and more onerous, the entering class of 1908 numbering 414. The admission of so large a number involves an enormous amount of detail work, and the Dean's office force has had to be increased. These students have come to us very largely on certificate, and from all parts of the country. The various departments for taking care of the new students are now so well organized that the opening days move very smoothly; but it remains true that there is a great deal of work for the officers of administration to perform. This is not only on the strictly academic side, but in the housing of new students, making sure not only that college dormitories but the private houses in the village are in readiness for them.
