The research work of this laboratory was started in 1897 in cooperation with the office of Experiment Stations of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The first researches in animal nutrition of this laboratory were made to determine the food requirements of men. From 1897 to 1907, the U. S. Department of Agriculture assisted this Research Laboratory by granting during this period of ten years $7,500.00 to aid our researches. December 14, 1898, the Board of Trustees of the University appropriated $500.00 for investigations upon foods and the nutrition of man. (See twentieth report of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, pages 27 to 40).
