The percentage ot students pursuing the Agricul- tural Course compares most favorably with that in any Agricultural College in the East, while the per- centage of those in the Mechanical Course is greater than in most of the Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges. The Chemical Department is second to none in the State, outside of the University. The departments of Biology, of Entomology, of Botany and Horticulture and of Physics have been par- ticularly objects of a care in development. A well- planned and well-equipped Mechanical building has been erected, and the course in Mechanical Engineering is proving most successful in its results. A new building for the Chemical Department, which has outgrown its old quarters, has just been completed. A large green-house has recently been added to the facilities for instruction in the Horti- cultural department. One prominent feature of the college work is the Military department. The students are under the control of an officer of the regular Army, and are instructed in the manual of arms and the maneuvers of the battalion. The Board of Trus- tees have recently directed that tlie military work of the year be completed by a week of encampment of the cadet corps. Physical culture is provided for by the maintenance of an excellent gymnasium, where regular instruction is given by a Professor of Athletics. The College Library, while still small, is a most serviceable one, and is well and comfort- ably located in the second story of the new Gymna- sium building. The future of the college will be what the people of the State choose to make it. To-day it is better prepared to take up the work of education along scientific, mechanical and liberal lines where the public schools of the State leave off than at any other stage of its histor ' ' . Supported in part by the State, in part by the Federal Government, it owes a duty to each, a duty which it can best per- form by living up in spirit as well as in letter to the provisions of that charter, the work of its wise and far-sighted founders, to which it owes its being. 19
