FAREWELL TO CLASS OF 1935 THERE are many reasons why the Class of 1935 should be elated because of the privilege they have of graduating at this time, and I, as directing head of the school, am grateful that we have such a fine, intelligent, well-trained and gentle- manly °Toup of men whose services we can offer as a contri- bution towards the re-vamping of our agricultural conditions. Due to the over-production of our agricultural products, the agricultural conditions of the country have become rather precarious, and the only remedy for this condition is going to be the introduction of new methods of operation, reorganization of systems and the establishment of better business methods. Approximately one-quarter of the population of the United States is making a livelihood from agriculture. This means the six million, five hundred thousand farms are maintaining between thirty and forty million people. Considering this vast business there is probably no industry that has so few trained men to direct it as has agriculture. Therefore the opportunity for a theoretically-trained agriculturist is probably greater at present than at any other time in the history of the profession. We therefore hope that this Graduating Class will find for themselves a great future in their efforts and contributions to a sound reorganization of our agricultural industry. Wishing you all a prosperous future and regretting the loss of your presence in the school, I am Verv sincerely yours, s-z?c£t- Dean.
