EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
First YBQVS of Work 337 in the cause of industrial education was the first to rejoice in the fact that he himself had been mistaken. The visit of the committee was made September 20 and 21, 1870. They found in attendance 194 men and 14 women students divided into classes as follows; each student carrying three or more studies: agriculture and horticulture 50, mechanics and civil engineering 54, chemistry 65, comparative anatomy 15, mathematics 138, military tactics 23, commercial 50, English literature etc. 92, German 63, French 27, Latin 20, Greek 0, which was precisely the number the committee was pleased to find pursuing that ancient and time honored means of culture. The farms, gardens, and machinery were found to be, like patients recovering from small pox, doing as well as could be expected. The investigations by this committee cleared up the misunderstanding that had prevailed, and laid to rest the distrust that had so hampered the development of the university. All parties now could unite in pronouncing the first years of foundation building successful. Upon these foundations which had been well laid in spite of and because of keen criticism, there now could be reared in the course of the next half century, a structure of the highest significance and truth. iiaafib.
