History of the College illE Ontario Agricultural College and Experimental Farm was organized in 1874. To-day it stands as one of the foremost institutions of its kind in the world. When the College opened there were twenty-eight students in attendance. There was only the residence and farm buildings adorning the campus at that time. Now we find from twelve hundred to fifteen hundred students enrolled in all courses, and eighteen buildings for lecture and laboratory work, besides many residental structures. Each vear sees some new buildings completed or some old one reiuodelled to meet the increasing demands of the student body. 'l'rue enough, the war al'i'et-ted the size of the student body materially during the past nve years, but for all that, improvements are going ahead to he ready for the great influx of students that is sure to follow since the close of the war. The original larm, purchased in 1873, consisted of 550 acres. In 1912 an additional 150 acres was purchased. so that the tarni now occupies Ttltl acres. As before stated new buildings are being constantly supplied to provide accommodation for the classes, Massey Ilall and Library. erected in itltll, is an abiding expression of the generosity of the late Mr. Hart Massey. Mac- donald Ilall and Mar-tlonald institute are the gift of Sir Wm. C. Macdonald. of Montreal. ln 1913 the Field Husbandry Building and the Administration Building for the Poultry Department were completed. September ot' 1914 saw the opening of the new dining hall. ln l5ll5 the new Physics Building was ready for classes. at the same time the Biology Building was remodelled to meet the demands ot' the Botanical and Entomological Departments, Ciid additions have ben made 'to the Bacteriology and Animal I-Iusbundry. The campus was laid out in 1882, and is to-day the 'nost beautiful piece of College property in America. Shrubs and bushes and trees are scattered in beautiful disorder, and the green lawns and flowers win the admiration ot all visitors. Mr. William Johnston was the principal under whom the College began to develop. l-Ie occupied the position from 1875 to 1879. when Mr. James Mills, of Brantford, succeeded him and remained in charge till 1904, when he was succeeded by the now popular President, Dr. tl. C. Creelman. Under the guidance of these leaders the College has gained 21 high place in the agricultural world. Students from many lands register every year. but the majority come from Ontario. Through its close alliance with the Ontario Department of Agriculture, the College reaches to the very heart of rural Ontario and through its graduates to countries the world over. 'lvn
