Qif caf from the flpasi which had been otlered since the institution was opened, the regents were'at length moved to make an experiment ofa new kind. Accordingly, in October. 1888, a school of agriculture was opened in a building erected for the purpose on the farm, adapted to the needs of actual young farmers, desir- ing to acquire science for the purpose of reducing it to practice, This school has continued to flourish and has been a means of much usefulness. The first of the professional departments to be opened was that of medicine and surgery. As early as 1883 a medical faculty had been organ- ized in the University as an examining body, whose diploma was made by statute necessary to entrance upon medical practice in the state. Later, in 1S88,the franchise of the Minnesota llospltal College of Minneapolis was acquired by the University, and its faculty mostly retained in service. Since that time instruction has been regularly given in the various colleges of the department, and large classes have been graduated. The law department was first opened at the beginning ot the same year 08887, in a modest way, in the basement room of the main building. Two years later the tasteful building now occupied was built. In a brief account. which necessarily excludes personal mention, it must still be in fairness said, that the prosperity of this department is chiefly owing to the unremitting zeal and labors of Dean Pattee, who is not only a lawyer of learning and ability, but an expert in teaching and a skillful executive. The late reorganization ofthe college of mechanic arts and the addition of new departments of electrical engineering, mining and metallurgy are steps of importance in the development of the scientific side of the University. The graduate department, with its enrollment of eighty-eight in the past year, ought to give evidence that it is not the intention of the faculty to allow the University to hold an interior rank. The degrees of master and doctor hang high it is true, but they can be reached by such as love high scholarship well enough tolundergo the labor by which alone it can be attained. It would be impossible in this place even to enumerate the various societies, whether formed for social or scholastic ends, which flourish under the sheltering auspices of Alma Mater, but mention may properly be made of one, the most comprehensive in character perhaps of all -the Students Christian Association. .lts generous charter, for it is a regular incorporation, invites all and excludes none who desire to live or to promote the Christian life. 'l'h rough the efforts of members, the aid of faculty and regents, and gifts of generous citizens the tasteful and substantial building, which forms the home of the association, was erected in 1887 at a cost of 511000. The University of Minnesota is now in the 25th year of her existence as a college. All the departments named in her charter have been opened, and are in beneficent operation. The monthly pay roll almost equals the annual income iu the early '70's. The total personnel: regents, teachers, ofiicials, employes and students of 1,876 persons would form a village of respectable size. A large body of alunmi are illustrating in their lives and labors the benefit of University training. The people of the state generally regard with pride an institution of their creation, already ln its youth, admitted to a place among the greater colleges of the land. All this is for you, my dear student friends. Take it with gratitude. Keep the fair name of Alma Mater forever free from stain, and unite your labors to give her an ever increasing usefulness.
