Research and closely-knit, extensive courses were carried on this year for a crowded Ag Campus . . . and long years of Work and planning by the ad- ministration made the Department what it is today. Down-to-earth education has been practiced on the Farm Campus since May 1, 1886 . . . then ten young men reported to Professor Porter for the first apprentice-lecture course in agriculture. And how times have changed . . . the College of Agriculture initially had three students . . . soon after initiated a series of Farmers' Institutes- to try taking education out to the farmers . . . 1946 found the Ag Campus cancelling some of the adult short courses because of the deluge of students . . . no rooms for the would-be-farmer students. The Department really did take the education to the farmer . . . assisted the County Agricultural agents by sending out home demonstration agents and 4-H club leaders of the Minnesota Agricultural extension service . . . showed farmers and farmers, Wives some of the scientific things that were taught in classes.
