Dear Professor--
I am hard at work and at the end of the first month feel somewhat encouraged. So far all has gone well. I give four lectures a week and all the rest of my time goes to laboratory work. In "Junior Biology" there are 27 students, 19 taking it as an elective. With only six microscopes you can see it may well hustle me to do work satisfactory to myself. In Senior, or advanced work there are 5 students. I enjoy the work, but wish I could accomodate more at a time and thus condense my time spent in the laboratory. I hope to be able to add 10 more microscopes before next year. These with a few other accessories would put me in excellent condition for solid work.
I am much obliged for the
