GREETINGS The Junior Class of 1909 | resents, to ail who arc interested, the Buzzer, tlie first Year-Book of the Agricultural College of I’tah. The light rainbow side of life is evanescent. Time bedims the many 'experiences that make up that delightful something named “college atmosphere ’ The attempt,therefore, has been made to make the Buzzer a College record, to which the students of nineteen hundred nine may turn, when reminiscent, and enjoy the events which made school days the happiest in life: the sweet innocence of the freshman, the careless swagger of the sophomore and the deep importance of the senior. We enter college, however, to learn how to do things. This accounts for the prominence given to the vvork-a-clay side of the Buzzer. We have been eager to show the real work done here, as a whole, in a way that will be pleasing and instructive to the student body and the friends of the College. Have we succeeded? In answering this question, we know the reader will remember that: “Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne’er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be.” The literature of the volume, however, should be fresh and sweet, for the whole attempt is an innovation, and as such, the Buzzer will doubtless make a strong appeal. Finally, we wish to thank all persons who have, in any way, helped to make this book a worthy representative of the Agricultural College of Utah.

COLLEGE HISTOR Y . A. H. LUND, a thoughtful, far-sighted man of keen observation, anticipating the needs of our future great commonwealth, and guided by the example of many of the other states, prepared the bill establishing the Agricultural College of Utah and watched it carefully until it passed Territorial Legislation March 8th, 1888. Governor Caleb W. West, W. C. Hall, J. T. Hammond, J. H. Wilcox, A. O. Smoot, Jr. and Jesse V. Fox, Jr., who were appointed as the board of Trustees, met at Logan June29th and organized by electing Governor West, Pres.; J. T. Mammon Supt.jJ. T. Caine, Jr. Sec.; and H. E. Hatch, Treas. After visiting prospective sites for the College, one on Providence bench and two on Logan bench, the Trustees chose and formally accepted in May 1889, the present location proffered by Cache County and Logan City. A contract was let for a 820,350 building which was to l e completed in November. Prof. Jeremiah Wilson Sanborn, of New Hampshire, who was appointed Director of the Experiment Station, arrived in Logan January 22nd, 1890. Through his efforts the Government made arrangements for an annual appropriation of $15,000 for the Experiment Station. W. P. Cutler of Cornell, E. S. Richardson and A. A. Mills of the Kansas Agricultural College, came to the College to act as chemist, horticulturist and superintendent of farm and experimental work. Professor Sanborn was elected President of the Faculty and appointed Professor of Agriculture. To him was left the matter of employing instructors, preparing a course of study, buying apparatus and supplies, getting up catalogues and advertising the institution. The Act of Establishment states that the leading object of the College 8
