AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT AND BUILDINGS.

lo the Board of Trustees. The appropriation of $150,000 for an agricultural plant for the University will always remain a notable event in our history. In all the provision which has been made in many states for agricultural education, the generosity of this munificent sum given atone time, is unprecedented. It offers us a great opportunity and forces upon us a vast responsibility. With so much money to use at once we ought to erect the most suitable and comprehensive group of structures for agricultural purposes to be found in the country. Before erecting buildings it is necessary to decide upon policies and methods of operation. To this large subject I have given much thought and investigation for several months. Without going into statements of facts or arguments here, I advise the adoption of the plan outlined as follows: 1. Open an Agricultural School; provide departments which are ordinarily found in a good high school and also establish courses in elementary agriculture and allied subjects; admit students who are fourteen years of age and over and who have completed the work in a grammar school approved by the (State Superintendent of Public Instruction; make the work elective as to agricultural students so far as consistent with the interests of agricultural education and with the standing we are bound to command for the diploma of the school, and at the completion of the required courss confer a diploma, but not a degree; let the diploma of this school admit to the College ot Agriculture in the University; incidentally admit to this high school students who do not intend to pursue the study of agriculture,.but to prepare for other work in the University, provided they are without high school privileges at home, or bring a letter from the principal of the high school which they would naturally attend, requesting their admission, and for the requisite work certify them to any University department; charge all the students in this school the usual fees for non-matriculants.
