ll Cll to the best advantage, to prevent waste, reduce cost, and insure the greatest usefulness for the labor expended, are responsibilities that require the best trained inltellect for the greatest success. Agriculture at Vermont is used in its widest sense, that is to say, not only 'the conduct of farming operaitions, but also that of teaching and res-efarch in agriculture. While fthe main idea is to give' the student a thorough knowledge of agriculture, enough emphasis is placed on purely academic subjects 'to give a liberal ediuoation as Well. , But the modern agricultural college does not confine rits wctivilties to the resident student body. So intimartely must it be connected with the entire state, tlhvait one might say tlhat the cam-pus of the Agricultural College is bounded only by the state lines. Even then its inHuen'ce in research work is felt far beyond its immediate con- stituency. This is the function and privilege of the ideal agricultural college of vtodiay.
