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.
