Siacox in 'Vicim Oi-'ifici-zlas. F. l-lolterhott, Sec. H. Brill, Treas. B. Maupin, Pres. M rs. l-l. Tobelinan, V. Pres. The 1914-15 Student Division of the li. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society was organized November 24, 191-l, and rapidly increased to a large member-- ship. It has held regular weekly meetings since that time, which have been both educational and social in character. The society has been very intiuential in promoting friendship and good-fellowship among the students and has sue-- ceeded in discovering and developing talent along special lilies that might otherwise have remained obscure. That the results have been very satisfactory in this direction is evidenced by the attainments of the orchestra, the glee club and the debating team, all of which are parts of the organization, as well as the work of the Year Book Stalt, which owes its existence primarily tothe society. During the term the society has been successful in obtaining some very interesting and instructive addresses for their meetings. A few of the speakers and their subjects follow: Prof. li. C. Minkler, VVhy 1 am a lT?tl'l'l1CI'HQ Prof. Alva Agee, Extension Vlfork: Wfhat it is and what it means to the farmer of New Jersey , Prof. Harry R. Lewis, .lil'lieiency in Agriculture , Mr. A. H. Hoffman, 1Vireless Telegrapliyug Mr. bl. Allen Ridgway, Concrete and Its Uses on the Farm. The students have developed a genuine class spirit of unity and helpfulness through the agency of this society and surely its influence for good is a promi- nent factor in our Short Course life. 83

The E. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society Fnzsr 'l'if1izM Orriclaiis. C. Reynolds, Sec. ,l. R. Van Zandt, Pres. E. Heckler, Treas. G. Boyd, V. Pres. H15 li. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society is an organization owing its birth to nothing so much as the Short Course Spirit. Organized De-- cember 16, l907, through the efforts of the late Dr. lidward li. Voorhees, the society has grown to be one of the largest factors in the winter Short Courses and promises to be, through its graduate division, an active influence toward better agriculture in New Jersey. The society naturally divides itself into two branches: the Student Division and the Graduate Division. Each new term witnesses the organization of a new Student Division, and this body, while of a temporary nature, is a very important part of the school work, since it is the only body representing the students as a Whole, and as such exerts a strong influence on all Short Course activities during the term. At the close of each term the Student 'Division is automatically absorbed by the Graduate Division, which constitutes the parent or permanent organization. The nature of this branch of the society is necessarily different than that of the student body. Close social intercourse is practically impossible and the majority of its work must be done through correspondence. Experiments out- lined by its executive committee are carried on by the members for the benefit of all and reports made upon same when completed. Contests are held in the raising of farm products and members competing are given an opportunity to exhibit at New Brunswick each winter. 82
