The State Board of Agriculture is comf posed of six members elected from the State at large, each serving a sixfyear period. This board is provided for un' der the constitution of Michigan and revenues for the support of the college come from Federal and State sources as well as from student fees. The history of the State Board of Ag' riculture goes back to 1835 when the State included a provision for the estabf lishment of a university in its constituf tion. Fourteen years later the Michigan State Agricultural Society was organized, and it is from this latter date that the real history of the college begins. The State Board of Agriculture has frequently pioneered in establishing new and valuable departments until today Michigan State is recognized as not only one of the best agricultural and scientific schools in the country, but of such characf ter as to be entitled to be called a Muni- versityv in the best sense of the term. Functions of the State Board include the control of the institution, bearing ref sponsibility for all its money and property, electing the president of Michigan State College, and the receiving and approving of all recommendations from the college head. ,, ,M,',-
