i tcg Q l}t Nnu Agrintltural Iml tug The continued rowth of the College, and the increase in the enrollment of students desiring to study agriculture, have long since rendered the present facilities and quarters of the Agricultural Department inadequate. A separate and modern Agricultural I ' uilding has, therefore, become one of the pressing needs of the College. The new Agricultural Ijuilding now being constructed at a cost of nearly v i 70,000 is, when completed, to be u]) to date and modern in every respect. It is to be a three-story, iire])roof structure of brick and stone, and will be situated between the Engineering Building and the Boulevard, and in line with the Chemical and Engineering Buildings. The building forms an H, with a large auditorium constituting the horizontal. It will furnish adequate accommodations for the teaching of all phases of agriculture, and includes a large stock-judging pavilion, which may also be used as a drill hall and temporary gymnasium. It is to be hoped that this is but the first of many buildings that will be erected on the camjjus in the near future. 20

Ifuxmtll M. A. C Farewell, Old Maryland, a long farewell ! Farewell, dear Alma Mater, kind and true; Though we have ever loved thee long and w ell. We must to thee now bid our sad adieu. Some whisper that thou now art of the past, Vith cherished hopes forever left behind. Not so ! For thy sweet lessons hold we fast, Thv treasured memories around our hearts we bind. Thy glory, uncontined by Old Line State But by thy sons proclaimed throughout the land, From Plymouth Rock to wondrous Golden Gate, Is sung by those who ' round thee take their stand. And never shall the sun ' s bright glory shine Upon the end of our belov ' d M . A. C. Until the last devoted son of thine Has crossed life ' s wild and restless sea. The College old regime has passed away; But straight upon the ashes of the old Flas flamed the dawn of a far greater day, I ' he destiny of Maryland to mold. Allegiance to the new we gladly bear ; But toward the visions of the olden days — The glory that was M. A. C. the fair— We backward turn our still enraptured gaze. Farewell, then, Alma Mater, ever dear! Whate ' er thy fate may be, in weal or woe. We pledge our hearts fore ' er to hold thee near, Thy strength and shield to be from every foe. 19
