Excerpt from Wellesley College, Annual Reports: President and Treasurer, 1908 The department hopes to be able to offer a course of out side lectures when it is possible to do so. Some of the great foreign critics would be most welcome at Wellesley when we can afford to invite them. We Shall look forward to the time when we can make close connections with foreign artists and schools of art. Science - The interesting work in science continues, and there is a gratifying increase in the elective work in all the natural sciences. The Trustees will remember how much cramped these departments are in the way of space. I must again urge the necessity for a science building. It will be remembered that in the interests of safety the department of Chemistry was moved out of College Hall years ago, and housed in a small building of its own. This was thought of only as a makeshift, and should be replaced by a permanent structure. All four of the courses in Geology have been carried, and the head of the department is especially gratified with the progress toward a higher grade of study observed in the class in advanced geography. The College is receiving the topo graphical maps published by the United States Geological Survey, and now possesses a large number of these ready for use at any time. It has also received a collection of speci mens from Mr. George A. Walton, which were collected by Mrs. Walton, and are now given to the College in her memory.
