12 THE 1911 INDEX VOLUME XLI In addition to the oversight of this important trust, he was called by- President Roosevelt to assume the responsible position of membership in the Commission of Country Life, to the wfork of which he contributed much, and an important part of whose report came from his pen. In the Depart- ment of Rural Sociology he is reckoned as one of the leaders, so that what- ever he says or writes on this fruitful topic commands universal attention and is received as authoritative. Under his guidance the Massachusetts Agricultural College is rapidly advancing in influence and importance. This year opens with 350 students, the Freshman class numbering 130, with a notable increase in the graduate courses and special students. The winter and summer courses are increas- ingly popular and are numerously attended. A strong effort is being made to carry the benefits of the college to the farmers and dwellers in rural communities. The standards of scholarship are being much elevated. Thus far the administration of President Butterfield has been a notable success and the future prospects of M. A. C. brighten under his gracious guidance. v t- H a o :- 7C -vi,.«a----«,..,
