For the winter term, students are admitted without entrance examination or payment of any fee to a special short course in which there are daily lectures and class exercises concerning some of the most important practical branches of agriculture, horticulture, and veterinary science. This course is designed for young men already engaged in agricultural pursuits who cannot spend a long time in college, and yet are anxious to make the most of themselves and of their vocation. Such students have access to the library and museum collections of the University, and have admission to the courses of general lectures. The details of this course vary from year to year. A special circular giving full information concerning it will be issued each year several weeks before the opening of the term the first of January.
