His pupils receive extraordinary discipline in the faculties of the memory, as he is quite exact, but the greatest benefit to be derived from his courses is the knowledge of the language being studied. The College of Arts and Sciences teaches the student above all to think for himself. It is for the most part under such men as Dr. Kcp| cl, who has never been given a fair mathematical problem which he could not solve; Professor Ault, the progressive thinker, and Dr. Sims, the profound student of men and modern political conditions, that the young man acquires this self-reliance. These men teach a student that men, no matter how highly the world may honor them, arc all mere human beings, very susceptible to mistakes. One should learn to form independent judgments and to stand by them. N. L. SIMS. A.M., PII.D. e K. It. FLINT.

People may talk of following exclusively special lines of work, but after all it is the general culture and the liberal education, which count most in present-day affairs.

eramoie 1 THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE THE current year has been a big one for the Agricultural College. Starting off with the largest enrollment in its history, ami easily the largest of the colleges of the University, it set itself resolutely to the task of making some new history every week. Even a lawyer will admit that it succeeded. Courses are offered in the Agricultural College for all sorts of students. First, there is the four-year course, for the regularly enrolled college students. Separate curricula are offered for students specializing in Agronomy, Horticulture. Animal Husbandry, and Chemistry, and for those who wish general work in agriculture. A special group has lately been arranged for agricultural teachers. Short courses of various kinds arc offered for students who. through lack of time or preparation, do not wish to take the full course of four years. The Middle Course of two years emphasizes the practical, technical training, though giving also some scientific work. Its graduates arc given the title Graduate in Farming. The one-year and four-month courses require for entrance only a working knowledge of the common school branches. The work is all practical. A ten-day course is offered in the winter for farmers, and is always well attended. A correspondence course is also conducted by the College. The faculty for the College of Agriculture includes, beside the members of other faculties of the University who give instruction in their departments to agricultural tudents, six men devoting all of their time to Agricultural W.
