sez ' st r as 'fe xiii The Agricultural Activities The Dairying Class on a Field Trip. The Agricultural Department of this college has undergone rapid changes and submitted to great developments during the last few years. A few subjects had been offered in previous years but it was not until in the fall of 1910, with l'rof. Chas. Keltner at its head that it gained a foothold and started on a progressing course. ln that fall the course started with ten students, but during the last three years has suddenly increased to one hun- dred, with Prof. Mohler as assistant instructor. In spite of being burned out of laboratories and nearly all demonstrat- ing apparatus, it has dehantly marched against misfortune and come out victor. Notwithstanding the inconvenience of this blow, this year has been the banner year: and the extent of its progress next year, with first class halls. laboratories and apparatus, is incalculable. The courses offered this year are so extensive as to completely cover the entire field of Agriculture. The courses offered are. Cereal and Forage Crops, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, Farm Dairying, Entomology, Agri- cultural Engineering, Soils, Agricultural Bacteriology, Animal llreeding, Manual Training and a Teachers Agricultural Course. The agricultural students are a lively and vociferous bunch of fellows. Coming direct from the farm they carry that healthy and independent air, which 'makes itself exuberant whenever they come together. About class time, when they are collecting in one of the large rooms in the recitation hall, a great profusion of noises is heard, the bleating of a lamb or the lowing of a cow, showing the ability of some to perfectly imitate the call of those with whom they have been so intimate during life. Suddenly Prof. Keltner ar- rives and just so suddenly every thing is quieted. The present outlook of the Agricultural Department is very bright, and no doubt the enthusiasm and interest shown this year will only spur it onward to greater results in the future. The Banquet Vvith short notice a mass meeting of the agricultural students was held and unanimously voted in favor of a banquet. Committees on refreshments gjZMQUNT MORRIS COLLEGE 74 i Y ki 'XFN 42
