Massachusetts Agf[icultural College. YOUNG men desiring to secure a good, practical education at the least cost of time and money, will find that the liberality of the United States, of the Commonwe alth, and of numer- ous friends of learning, has enabled the Massachusetts Agricul- tural College to ofter exceptional advantages. The course of study has been carefully revised by the Trustees and Faculty, with the purpose of giving to the student such a training as will enable him to succeed in the practical woi ' k of life ; the aim being to discipline brain and hand, fitting the whole man for his sphere of usefulness, whether it be found in agricul- ture, in the arts and sciences, or in the learned professions. While books are not neglected, things themselves are studied and mastered as they are found in nature and in life. A thorough course of industrial training is secured by means of the various laboratories, and opportunities for manual labor afforded by the different departments of the garden and of the farm. Valuable discipline is acquired by the military drill that is given under the personal direction of a resident officer of the United States Army, specially detailed for the purpose. The completion of the new South College provides ample lec- ture-rooms for instruction, and pleasant apartments for students. The new and complete offices, laboi atories, stables and other buildings of the Experiment Station, so liberally endowed by the State, under the direction of Prof. Goessman, v ho is assisted by an able corps of chemists, enable students to familiarize them- selves with the latest discoveries in agriculture. The new Stone Chapel affords a suitable place for worship and for the meetings of the Young Men ' s Christian Union, that character as well as skill may be developed. The College is located in the midst of the most beautiful part of the Connecticut Valley, in a region easy of access, famed for its many educational institutions. A large number of free scholarships are provided by the State, and opportunities for self-help are offered to such as are glad to accept them. Catalogues and additional information may be obtained by application to the President.
