It is only in a comparatively small way that we students can show our appreciation to these men. They have done much for us. Their major efforts have been directed in our behalf. By dedicating this book to the Alumni, we wish to make them realize that their work does not go unappreciated. We remain ever grateful to the Alumni Association. EDICATION

TO GRADUATING CLASS OF 1936 TX7ITH its background of 40 years achievement, your School has earned a high position as one of America ' s outstanding agricultural institutions. This pioneering school, founded in 1896, is still pioneering, always keeping in the van our paramount objective — to afford farm-conscious young men a vocational career, in all branches of agriculture. The limited oppor- tunities afforded at the School ' s inception should be obvious to the graduating class of 1936, when they compare the initial period with its few acres, small faculty and equipment, to the enlarged institution you are now leaving. Nevertheless, we can point with pride to many who graduated over a genera- tion ago, now leaders in agriculture and staunch supporters of the School. I am confident, that you, too, as members of your Alumni, will help to the end, that others may enjoy the privileges that were yours. You have secured employment. Life on the farm will not be as easy as your school days here. But I beg of you not to become discouraged if conditions do not break just as you plan them. The beginning of any career is invariably an uphill struggle. Hence patience, courage, and perseverance should abound in your consciousness. Many of the world ' s captains of in- dustry and other successful men of affairs started on their careers, often with little, if any, training. They overcame their limitations by strength of purpose. There is always room at the top for those willing to learn, even though they start at the bottom. The men and women who support this Institution and your instructors only ask in return for their time, energy and means that every boy who leaves our gates shall prove himself a true citizen, a credit to himself, his family, his friends, and his Alma Mater. HERBERT D. ALLMAN, President.
