Str: — On behalf of the trustees of the Massachusetts Agri- cultural College I have the honor to transmit herewith, to Your Excellency and the Honorable Council, Part I. of the fifty-fifth annual report of the trustees, for the fiscal year ended Nov. 30, 1917, this being the report of the president of the college and other officers of administration to the corporation. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, KENYON L. BUTTERFIELD, President. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE. Genilemen of the Corporation. I herewith submit my annual report as president of the Mas- sachusetts Agricultural College, and with it transmit reports from the other administrative officers of the institution. The past year has been a notable one for the college for at least two reasons. It has witnessed the completion of fifty years of service by the institution, and it has seen the second half century of its history ushered in by an eager response to the call to the colors, as our country entered the war. Indeed, the war soon became the chief concern of all persons connected with the college. The fact that the college has always had a mil- itary establishment led, of course, to a keen personal interest in the war on the part of students and younger alumni who might be eligible to military service. The prompt announce- ment in Washington that agriculture and the development of an adequate food supply was a prime concern in the war added another reason for intense interest. ‘There is therefore but one subject this year suitable for the customary discussion in which it has become a habit to indulge in my annual report, and that is THE MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AND THE WAR. On Feb. 9, 1917, the Governor appointed 100 men as a Com- mittee on Public Safety. In the personnel of the committee and in its original subcommittees no place was made for agriculture; evidently the military aspect of the war problem was upper- most in the minds of those responsible for the plan. I imme- diately corresponded with Mr. James J. Storrow, the chair- man of the committee, with reference to the importance of recognizing food supply as a war emergency, with the result that he requested the Massachusetts Federation for Rural Prog- ress to name a committee on food production and conservation. 8 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. — [Feb. This action was taken on March 2, and the committee was at once made a subcommittee of the Committee on Public Safety, and on March 5 had organized with Mr. John D. Willard, who had been “loaned”? by the Franklin County Farm Bureau, as executive secretary. ‘The personnel of the committee was as follows: — Kenyon L. Butterfield, Charman. | Carlton D. Richardson. Philip R. Allen. Henry Sterling. Reginald W. Bird. Marcus L. Urann. Nathaniel I. Bowditch. Wilfrid Wheeler. Joshua L. Brooks. John D. Willard, Secretary. The program of food production adopted by the committee outlined three sources of increased production, — the first and chief, on farms, largely with the staple crops; the second, in boys’ and girls’ gardens; and the third, through family gar- dens carried on by residents of cities and villages. Later an auxiliary committee on food conservation was organized, with Dean Arnold of Simmons College as chairman. The First Steps. The program that was adopted by this committee and the methods of work put into operation were largely those that had been formulated by Director Hurd, assisted by members of the staff with whom he had counseled individually and in con- ference. The college at once placed itself practically at the disposal of the Commonwealth as represented in the Committee on Public Safety, stating that it wished to render every possible service in the emergency. Steps were immediately taken to mobilize the institution fully, as will appear as the report proceeds. Our attitude towards both State and national government is shown by the following vote of the faculty: — Whereas, The land grant colleges of America, owing their origin to the stern realization of the absolute need and utter unpreparedness of the nation during the darkest period of the great strife, were established in order that the nation might ever be ready to meet victoriously any and every foe that might oppose her at any time during the long future; and 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 9 Whereas, To these colleges during all the years since the Morrill Land Grant Act the people of the United States and of the Commonwealth have given generously of their substance and wealth, and ever manifested un- failing loyalty and love to them; and Whereas, The Massachusetts Agricultural College, as one of the mem- bers of this noble sisterhood of colleges, has been bountifully nurtured and blessed by the rare munificence of the government; be it therefore Resolved, That we, the faculty of the Massachusetts Agricultural Col- lege, fully recognizing our peculiar obligations to our beloved country in this hour of her new danger and peril, do pledge anew to her and to her cause our outmost loyalty and devotion, and place at her service without reservation all the strength, influence and resources which God hath vouch- safed to us; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States, and to the Governor of this Commonwealth, and that it be placed before the people as the true attitude of the faculty of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. Campus Mobilization. A committee on campus mobilization was organized March 5, with the following personnel: Professor Hurd, Dr. Brooks, Professor Sears and Professor Lockwood. This committee im- mediately started a census of students and alumni with refer- ence to their fitness for, and willingness to perform, either mil- itary or agricultural service. The committee also canvassed the entire faculty, and made assignments to. different lines of work in accordance with a definite schedule. The committee also acted as a clearing house for students and faculty in agri- cultural work, approving projects, starting work and assigning members of the staff to special pieces of work as occasion de- manded. The members of the extension staff, of course, carried on their regular work, but in a highly augmented fashion. Their service was performed very largely in co-operation with the county farm bureaus, which soon became the actual centers of operation through the State. Many of the teaching staff, as soon as they were relieved from their regular duties, took up assigned special war service in the field or on the campus. The research work of the experiment station naturally went on about as usual, inasmuch as all this work is concerned with problems of food production. 10 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. (Feb. The Students in War Time. Acting in accordance with expressions coming from President Wilson, Secretary of War Baker and others, as well as in accordance with our own convictions, every endeavor was made, after war was declared, to keep the teaching work going in normal fashion. It soon developed, however, that not only were the students very uneasy and inclined to neglect class work, but the demand for farm labor in the State was such that their help was greatly needed. As a consequence, the faculty passed a vote on April 20 providing that students who wished to leave before the end of the year to work on farms -would receive credit for their work in college if they performed satisfactory farm labor for twelve weeks. Under this plan the large majority of the students left within two weeks, and by the Ist of May the college was practically closed. Nearly all of the students going into agriculture found their own positions, although the committee on mobilization assisted in many cases. Nearly 400 men found employment in farm-_ ing, gardening or in supervision of such enterprises as boys’ and girls’ clubs, community garden plots, ete. About 50 of the men went into military service, so that all told nearly 500 students, or about 95 per cent., were performing war emergency service by the Ist of June, 85 per cent. being in agricultural service and 10 per cent. in military service. ‘This is a remark- able record. Every effort was made to keep in touch with the students in the field. Many of them were visited personally during the summer by members of the staff. Reports came in from the students as well as from their employers. Dean Lewis devoted a large part of the summer to studying these reports, corresponding with both students and employers. Many men who had never before had farm experience soon adapted themselves to the work, and the testimony of employ- ers was uniformly most complimentary to the men. . The year opened with a greatly reduced attendance. Out of 138 men registered’ in the class of 1918 last fall only 64 re- turned to college this autumn. In the class of 1919 the attendance is 113 this fall as against 174 registered in the fall es tts 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 1% of 1916; 117 men out of 170 in the class of 1920 returned this autumn. This year there are 118 freshmen as compared with a registration of 170 last year. Students now in Military Service. The number of students in military service December 1 is indicated in the following table: — Com- Per ; C.uass. missioned Others. Total. Cent. of | Overseas. Officers. lass.

The alumni have responded to the call to military service in the same spirit as have the students.

There are twenty-five men in military service from the class of 1881 up through the class of 1911. The total number of staff, students, alumni, and former students in military service at the present time is 355. . Scores of alumni in different parts of the country are ren- dering public service in connection with voluntary agencies or with agencies already established. Perhaps the two most notable examples of the public service which M. A. C. men are rendering in this connection are those of Mr. Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, who is a member of the National Council of Defense, and that of Dr. Joel E. Goldthwaite, who headed a commission of medical experts to France to study problems of disease and physical incapacity. The College Staff and Military Service. Soon after the draft went into effect the question arose as to what the policy of the college should be concerning occu- pational exemption for members of the staff. It seemed unfair to the country to press for exemption of members of the staff as a Class; it seemed unfair to the college to make no claims for exemption. Therefore in those cases where it was clear that the man’s services were necessary in order to maintain college work the district board was asked to make exemption. But few of these cases arose. Therefore the college staff has been, of course, somewhat depleted, several of the younger men being drafted or volunteering for enlistment. Following is a list of those who have gone into military service: — Windom A. Allen, Assistant Chemist, Experiment Station, in the draft camp at Ayer. Wesley H. Bronson, Assistant Extension Professor of Farm Demonstra- tion, United States Naval Reserves. Gal Dy Deby, Assistant in Physical Education, Medical Corps. Harold M. Gore, Assistant Professor of Physical Education, First Le tenant, Uniied States Reserves. Burt A. Hazeltine, Instructor in Mathematics, teaching in radio school at Newport, R. I. Roswell W. Henninger, Extension Instructor in Charge of Poultry Club Work, aviation school, San Antonio, Tex. John B.

It has become almost a truism that agriculture should be regarded as a war service; but thus far it has not been possible to arrange for the definite assignment of men, either members of the staff or college students, to this form of war work. For example, the county agents indicated last summer that they would want at least forty students as agricultural supervisors the coming spring. It will be very difficult, indeed, to supply these men unless the new classification will simplify matters by listing men for specified war work other than strictly military service. | Helping Students to understand the War. Ever since the severing of relations with Germany efforts have been made at chapel, through assembly speakers and in other ways, to present to the students the real meaning of the war. It has been necessary to handle this matter with con- siderable caution for fear of overstimulating the men in their attitude toward enlistment. One of the most interesting single aspects of the interest of the students was shown by the re- -markable response to the appeal for funds, made here as in all the other colleges of the United States, to assist the Young Men’s Christian Association in its war work in the military camps in this country and in Europe. We have no way of knowing what the normal allotment for this college would have _ been, but we suppose perhaps $1,500 to $2,000. The students themselves, through appropriate committees, decided to try to raise $5,000. As a matter of fact, the pledges amounted to over $6,000 from students and faculty, the students alone pledging nearly $4,500. Ninety per cent. of the students pledged something, and their average per capita was approximately $10. The response from members of the staff was exceedingly good. 14 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. __ [Feb. A Shortened Year. The faculty voted to shorten the collegiate year 1917-18 in order that students might remain in farm work as late as possible in the fall, and might be available for farm work early in the spring of 1918. Each of the three terms was shortened from twelve to nine weeks. Commencement will come April 27-29. Every effort is being made to keep up the grade of work. Athletics. Probably no department of the college has been obliged on account of the war to depart more widely from its customary program than has the department of physical education. Handi- capped by reductions in the staff as well as by the lack of men and. the shortened college year, a method was nevertheless de- vised for keeping up interest in athletic work which has met with a success extremely gratifying both to the department and to the students. Details of this plan will be found upon a suc- ceeding page. Late Opening. In order to permit men in agricultural service to complete the season’s work, the opening of college was postponed from the middle of September until October 10. Although students in order to receive credit for the full work of the previous semester were obliged to work only twelve weeks on farms, I think a large proportion of them continued work throughout the summer. Some even were not able to return October 10, because of the necessity of completing agricultural enterprises in which they were engaged. Special Service of Individuals. It is difficult to praise too highly the spirit of the staff in their relations to war work activities. I think it is fair to say that the entire institution has been almost completely mobi- lized for war service. In some cases, of course, the regular. work constituted the service. For example, the members of the experiment station staff have kept at work on their regular _ projects, all of which have to do more or less directly with ; is \ 4 } ee ee ne ee CS 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 15 food production. The members of the extension staff threw themselves into the field work with increased vigor, if that were possible, sparing nothing of time and energy to meet the situation. So long as college classes were maintained, the majority of the teaching staff gave their time to their regular work, but as soon as the college closed in the spring, nearly every teacher took up some special form of war work to which he had been assigned. Quite accurate reports in detail are now available relative to the service thus rendered. It is not necessary to go into details in this report, but I may say that over 50 members of the teaching staff gave more or less time to this service, the amount of time ranging from a number of days. to two or three, and in some cases four, months of solid time. The technical men, of course, as in agriculture and horticulture, worked in the line of their special- ties, quite largely in the field. ‘The science men either did work in connection with protection of crops and animals, the preservation of food, special investigations in connection with munitions, or occasionally in the work of surveys. The men in the Division of the Humanities engaged in a wide variety of work, some assisting in survey tabulation, others in supervision of garden work. I might specify some instances of types of service: assisting the field staff of the Hampshire County Farm Bureau; service in an information tent on Boston Common; helping in the developing of dairy records and in the poultry drive; community canning and preserving; garden supervision; emergency publicity and publications. A large number of the staff assisted in the surveys of farm labor, food production, consumption and distribution. | Professors Neal, Wheeler, Kilham and Hicks were practically “loaned”’ to the State Food Production Committee for the season. The last-named spent nearly four months organizing a very complete system of farm labor exchange in the State. His plan was so satisfactory that the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture practically took it as a model for their work in other parts of the country. The emergency also increased very materially the corre- spondence in all departments of the institution; this was handled satisfactorily without addition to the clerical staff. 16 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. ~ [Eeb. It helped, however, to make the year an unusually busy one. The war work, of course, has taken a good deal of the presi- dent’s time since the 1st of March, as chairman of the State Committee on Food Production, and later as a member of the Massachusetts Board of Food Administration, as well as in various other capacities. _ A number of our staff have been “loaned” for practically full time. The United States Department of Agriculture asked for Professor Hurd’s services. About the Ist of August Pro- fessor Hurd went to Washington and has been there ever since, giving up his plans for his sabbatical year, occupying a very important position as assistant in the office of the Secretary of Agriculture. Professor Machmer has been released from his duties as assistant professor of mathematics in order to take an important position in field work in distribution in the western district of Massachusetts. Prof. W. D. Clark has been “loaned”’ to the Massachusetts Fuel Administration to assist in carrying on the campaign for the use of wood for fuel. Miss Sayles of the Extension Service has been released for the year for service with the home economics branch of the extension work of the United States Department of Agriculture. Food Supply Studies. The college, through its department of agricultural economics, and with the assistance of some eight or ten members of the general teaching staff of the institution, made elaborate sur- veys of food conditions in three or four counties. A census of production in the five western eounties, in- cluding nothing but farm-grown products, was conducted by the department of agricultural economics. The data collected covered acreages of farms, woodlots and improved land; num- ber of live stock on hand in 1916 and 1917; acreage and quantity of various farm crops and vegetables produced in 1916 and proposed for 1917. A few facts stand out with special prominence, as revealed by the census, among which are the small number of farms and the small quantities grown on each farm. Although the census was taken in the four western counties before the crops of 1917 were sown, the reports indi- cate a probable increase in the acreage of several farm products. 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 17 The census in Worcester County was taken after the crops were planted, and it is significant that this county shows the greatest increase in acreages. The four western counties show an increase of 46 per cent. in acreage of corn for grain, 46.9 per cent. for potatoes, 150 per cent. for beans and 42.4 per cent. for green vegetables. Worcester County shows the greatest increases, — 110.5 per cent. in corn for grain, 46.5 per cent. for potatoes, 300.6 per cent. for beans and 84.4 per cent. for green vegetables. A census of food consumption ,was also conducted by the department of agricultural economics. The territory covered included Hampshire County and a part of Hampden County. The data, secured from wholesale and retail dealers, transpor- tation companies, storages and large consumers, such as hotels, restaurants and boarding houses, took account of certain staple foods, and the figures asked for showed quantities shipped in, reshipped, stored, sold and bought from local producers. The returns have been tabulated by towns, and reveal a notable lack of trade in home-grown products; but 22.4 per cent. of potatoes consumed are home grown, 7.8 per cent. of the beans, 33.2 per cent. of the eggs, 12.1 per cent. of the butter, 57.6 per cent. of the apples and 62.9 per cent. of the milk. Hampshire County produces 27.7 per cent. and Hampden County 18.8 per cent. of the grain needed by the live stock reported in these counties by the census of 1910. The three western counties, however, produce 6.4 per cent. more hay than necessary to feed the stock owned in the counties at that time. In April, 1917, the milk situation in New England threatened to be very serious. Little usable information relative to cost of production was available. The committee on agriculture of the Boston Chamber of Commerce asked the agricultural col- leges in the New England States to make surveys and report to them. Uniform blanks were used in order to make the returns comparable. The farm management demonstrator from M. A. C. supervised this work, not only in Massachusetts but in heading up the work of the other States. The blanks and _ all questions were passed on by our college dairy committee. Two hundred and fifty farmers were selected by the farm Management demonstrator in consultation with the county 18 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. | [Feb. agents. Our college furnished seven men selected from the agronomy, animal husbandry, dairy and farm management departments. Their expenses were furnished by the Public Safety Committee. One man and his expenses were furnished by the Quaker Oats Company of Boston. These men visited the farmers and secured eighty-seven complete records. The report of this New England work has been used not — only in Boston but by milk committees in other cities. The information received in this survey was used and is being used, with changes in cost of variables, to determine the fair price of milk to the producer, thus avoiding a milk strike. Very favorable comments have been made on the results of the sur- vey, both as to figures obtained and good accomplished by their use. . The poultry department co-operated with the county farm bureaus and the Public Safety Committee in a two weeks’ “campaign” throughout the State of Massachusetts. The ob- ject of this work was, first, to collect accurate information about existing conditions among poultrymen; second, to attempt to check the injudicious sale of hens and pullets, but to encourage intelligent culling of the unprofitable birds; third, to commend the hatching of chicks through the month of June, where con- ditions warranted late hatching. Nine men were employed to execute this work. In so far as possible, one man was located in each county, and he was given an outline of the uniform advice and data which had been adopted at a previous staff meeting. Public gatherings, farm visits and the press offered the best means of presenting the poultry doctrine, and these methods were adopted in each county. Accurate data from various sized flocks were used to show poultrymen what they could expect under existing condi- tions. The work, as a whole, was well received. While it has not been possible to measure results in a definite way, reports from different sections of the State indicate that the effort was worth while. Vacations. All the men on the staff, because of the tremendous pressure under which they were working during the spring, were advised — to take the full month’s vacation. Practically all of the teach- — 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 19 ing staff, some gf whom are entitled to the longer vacation period, surrendered their privilege and gave their energy un- reservedly to assistance in some form of agricultural mobiliza- tion work. Publications. The college agreed to issue, in co-operation with the Com- mittee on Public Safety, special publications bearing on many of the particular problems that farmers would have to meet in speeding up production. A list of about 35 special bul- letins was prepared during the year. Director Hurd devised a plan of post-card bulletins printed on both sides, which gave in compact form the best advice that the college could offer on these subjects. . Use of College Land for Food Production. The trustees decided that all available areas of the college estate should be used in growing more crops. The following table shows what was done as war emergency production be- sides the regular crops usually grown. Crop. | Acreage.

The “projects” of the Committee on Food Production and of the Food Administrator have guided the major efforts upon which the farm bureaus have been spending their energy this year. In March all other plans were laid aside and the work for the season redrafted on the basis of the needs of the State during war times. The county food committees were, in nearly every case, comprised of men and women who were appointed _ by the advisory board of the farm bureau. The county agents 20 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. acted as secretaries of these county committees on food pro- duction. When the organization of town food committees was suggested, the farm bureau used its organization to assist in securing the emergency committees in 244 towns. The work of the town committees was explained, and the local people were assisted in securing fertilizers, seed potatoes and land on which special work might be done. In order to arouse the people of the State to a realization of the needs of this project, the farm bureaus assisted in over 400 meetings during the months of April and May. In one county alone the county agent addressed over 8,000 people in four weeks, urging increased production of food crops. The . demand for the services of the county agents was so great that in four months the employees of the farm bureaus increased one-third, and the office force doubled. ‘This was made possible by the appropriation which was made to the various counties by the Committee on Public Safety from its State appropri- ation, the conclusion being reached that the farm bureaus, having already been organized to direct and use efficiently trained workers, could secure results more rapidly than could be secured by the development of a new system. ‘The farmers of the State, thoroughly aroused, increased their acreage of crops greatly, this increase being particularly noticeable in such crops as corn, beans and potatoes. The work with people other than farmers resulted in an extraordinary increase in home gardens. The county farm bureaus more than justified themselves all over the country. Massachusetts was peculiarly fortunate in the fact that every agricultural county was fully or nearly organized for farm bureau work when war was declared. The food production and conservation campaign in the field was carried on through these county farm bureaus. On June 20 there were available for this work 20 men, 6 women and 10 clerks. On December 1 these employees numbered 30 men, 14 women and 20 clerks. Aside from these employees there were 14 men and 6 women who were employed for part time during the season. | 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. re | Federal Aid. In August Congress passed a law granting extra appropri- ations for food production and conservation work. Approxi- mately $70,000 was assigned to Massachusetts, and was appor- tioned as follows, the work being administered in every case through the college: $54,500 was apportioned for food conserva- tion from September 1 to June 30, and provided for a State leader for city work, 3 assistant county and city leaders, 9 county home demonstration agents, and also for assistant city organizers and supervisors in perhaps 30 cities, about 10 of these having now been provided. This is the regular educational work in home economics, food thrift, preserving and canning, — etc., but carried out not only in all the counties of the State but also in the urban communities. Of course, in this field there are scores of agencies at work, and in all we are co- operating most fully with Mrs. Nathaniel Thayer, who is the official representative of the Federal Food Administration in Massachusetts, and with the State Executive Committee on Food Conservation. Seven thousand dollars was set aside for junior extension club work for the same period, and permits the employment of an assistant State supervisor and ten county club leaders. The sum of $8,000 was set apart for county agent work in marketing. ‘This fund permitted the assignment of Mr. E. Farnham Damon as assistant county agent leader, with four _ district marketing specialists, in the Connecticut Valley, Worces- ter County, the area northeast of Boston and the area south- east of Boston. This work is educational in the subjects of marketing and distribution. Added to this sum was $36,000 granted to the county farm bureaus by the Public Safety Committee. War Work Problems. War Work Economies. — In common with other institutions and with individuals, it behooves the college to practice the most rigid economy during this period of stress. But what is economy and how can it be actually achieved? The drop in student attendance by no means indicates the practicability of an equivalent cut in expenditures. As a matter of fact, the 99 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. __ [Feb. so-called “overhead’”’ expenses can be reduced very little unless whole courses or departments are abolished for the time being. For example, in the matter of the heating of buildings it is practically impossible to reduce coal consumption unless entire buildings are completely closed. What is true of maintenance is in large measure true of instruction costs. It is possible that some radical changes may be necessary for another college year. If we knew more accurately what our attendance would be, it would be much easier to make these adjustments. ‘To what ex- tent, it may be asked, are we justified in dismissing members of the teaching staff? Weare holding positions open for those who have gone into military service. Is it not wise, on the whole, to maintain the teaching corps, and if their regular work be reduced because of decreased attendance, make it possible for them to render some form of special war service? Research. — The staff of the experiment station feel that it would be exceedingly difficult and unwise to give up projects that are under way in research, for the reason that they are all connected more or less intimately with the soil or with animal or crop production, and consequently have an intimate bearing on the whole question of food supply. It is important, moreover, if we can possibly get the funds, to take up some special lines of research bearing upon the food emergency. This is notably true in connection with the canning and preserving of food. Very little scientific work has been done in this field. We are remarkably well equipped, both in material equipment and in men, for this work. Studies in the cost of production of milk have already been made, but more work needs to be done. Food surveys, both as to supply and demand, could be carried on to good advantage through our department of agri- cultural economics if the money were forthcoming. Teaching. — We are putting forth every effort to maintain the standard of, the institution and to keep intact the course of study. It is very difficult to do this, partly because so many of the students have gone, and because those who are left are more or less uneasy on account of the war situation. It is not an easy problem to keep up the standards, nor to decide what changes can be made in the number of the staff, salaries, courses of study, etc. We have no means of knowing how long 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 23 the war will last. As soon as it is over we feel that the college must be prepared for a great influx of students. The interest in food production and supply will be greater than ever. The Extension Service. — Of course, in one sense, the war service of the institution in the field has been entirely extension | work. ‘There has been an enormous increase in this work, and we could have used two or three times as many men as we have had at our disposal. In order to be of the largest service _ to the State we ought to have practically twice as many work- ers as we now have in the field. The Staff. — The depletion in the staff raises an important _ problem, especially in connection with the younger men. It is almost impossible to get young men to take the places of those ~ who have gone. The Students. — It has already been indicated that the un- certainty of the situation makes it difficult not only to keep up. _ the student body but to maintain the quality of work. The _ students, however, are very earnest and are doing their part as: _ well as can be expected. The spirit of the student body is im _ every way magnificent. Fortunately, the reduction in the num- _ ber of students does not deprive us of any large income, as it _ does in the privately supported colleges. On the other hand, q it does not help us very much in reducing expenses, unless we deliberately cut out courses and departments; in other _ words, unless we fail to keep the institution “in trim” for the _ work it must do when the war is over. The Food Supply and the College. The war has not only accentuated the problem of food as a _ phase of war preparation and service, but it has also called attention to the fact that the question of food supply has a j certain unity, and must be considered more fully as a single _ problem, not only for communities and for nations but for the world as a whole. The producers cannot be unmindful _ of their obligations to consumers, nor the consumers forgetful _ of the needs and rights of producers. The duty to save food everywhere, from the field to the table, has new meaning. _ The need of economies in production and distribution, as well _ as in use, are understood more clearly than ever before. 24 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. — [Feb. All this gives a new significance to the work of the agricul- tural colleges. It is rather strange, I think, that their function has been regarded as that of dealing only with the production of food and other things that can be grown from the soil. But it is becoming more clear now that they must deal with all the interests of those who till the soil. The work of the college must follow these interests as far as they may go, and it is apparent that they go a long way beyond the matter of production. But I am wondering if we may not carry this matter even a step farther. Congress has placed in the hands of the De- partment of Agriculture — and, through this Department, in the hands of the various agricultural colleges — the task of teaching home economics to the people, not alone in the country but also in the city. Why should this not be a per- manent function of the college? In this emergency the mem- bers of the staff of our college have been called upon to testify as expert witnesses concerning the costs of the production and — distribution of milk, — a purely economic and business problem, not primarily a question of technical production. Why should our people be interested in the distribution of milk more than in the distribution of fruit or vegetables or hay? In other words, does not the very logic of events at least, if not a theory as to the work of the agricultural college, justify the © statement that hereafter the college must concern itself with all the problems of food supply, and through its research, through field studies, and in its extension work, as well as in its courses of study, cover on the material side the entire problem of food supply? I should like to raise this question in a very definite way, because it has a most intimate bearing upon the work © and activities of the institution, and in a State like Massa- chusetts, which is so thoroughly urban, a very important bear- ing upon the question of financial support. And this leads me to a few words concerning | | Additional Funds for War Service. I wish to urge the need of special funds for war service. This matter will come before you through the appropriate com- mittees, but I think that we should have money from some a ee J ——~ PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 25 e for special projects of an investigational character already rred to in this report, and that we should also take on, as i soon: as possible, a number of additional persons as members ae of the extension staff for service in the field. Now that atten- tion to food has become recognized as a part of the war policy, _is it not clear that the agricultural college, if it can serve the Bi srunonvealth in times of peace, can serve her more greatly B in this time of war? If agricultural education is worth any- - thing, it is supremely worth while during the period of the war. 26 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. _[Feb. REVIEW OF THE YEAR. CHANGES IN DEPARTMENT HEADS. In March Arthur B. Beaumont came to the institution to assume the responsibility of head of the department of agron- omy, with the rank of associate professor, filling the vacancy caused by the resignation in June, 1916, of Prof. Sidney B. Haskell. Professor Beaumont was born and reared in the south, graduating from the Kentucky State University in 1908; after five years of successful teaching in Oregon Mr. Beaumont returned to Cornell University for graduate study. “After three years of efficient service Associate Prof. Arno H. Nehrling, head of the department of floriculture, resigned in March, 1917, to enter private business in Indiana. Professor Nehrling was exceptionally well trained in floriculture, and con- tinued here the development on a very high plane of the work inaugurated by his predecessor, Prof. Edward A. White. Pro- fessor Nehrling was a strong teacher, a good administrator, and enjoyed the complete confidence of the florists of the State. His resignation was a distinct misfortune to the insti- tution. From March until the close of the college year the work of the department was carried on by Mr. Clark L. Thayer of Cornell University. Mr. August G. Hecht was selected for the position of. head of the department, and assumed this responsibility in September. Mr. Hecht gradu- ated from the University of Illinois in 1914, at which insti- tution he has for three years been engaged as instructor, while at the same time pursuing graduate work. Professor Hecht is well trained both professionally and in the practical | work of floriculture, and is proving to be an acceptable succes- sor to Professor Nehrling. | When the first officers’ training camp was opened at Platts- burg in May, 1917, Capt. Henry W. Fleet was ordered by the War Department to assume important responsibilities in connection with the training of officers at Plattsburg. Captain Fleet was in charge of our military work for a little over two years, and in that period won the complete respect and esteem of students and faculty; he elevated the work in military drill to a very high plane of efficiency, while at the same time a ee ee .* e a — ie Pane a =A; ~o 1918.) PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. bs correlating it with the other activities of the college in a most acceptable manner. Late in the summer the War Department detailed Col. Richard H. Wilson as commandant at this insti- tution. Colonel Wilson is a graduate of West Point, and has had a very successful career as an army officer. The college is fortunate in having an officer of high rank assigned for the direction of its military work. (A complete list of changes in the various staffs appears as Tables I. to IV.) Mr. Harmount’s DEATH. During the year death has claimed an active member of our teaching staff; Mr. William L. Harmount, after a serious illness of about four months, passed away at his home in Branford, Conn., July 20. Mr. Harmount came to the college in 1911 as instructor in French, and during the years of his service here gained the admiration of students and faculty alike. Although unassuming and retiring by nature, he won a warm place in the hearts of all his students because of his teaching ability, and because of his genuinely human interest in all who came in contact with him. Among his teaching associates he won high regard as a gentleman, as a teacher, and as a scholar of high intellectual ideals. ATTENDANCE. The total registration this autumn is 500 as compared with 680 a year ago, or approximately 75 per cent. of last year’s attendance. Doubtless the falling off is due to the war. At least 100 men, who would otherwise have been here in the three upper classes this year, are in the army or with some _ other branch of the armed forces. The freshman class enroll- ment is 118 as compared with 170 of last year, and with 211 of two years ago. This decrease in the entering class is probably chargeable to a number of causes, such as the gen- eral unrest among young men, the consciousness of the possi- bility that they may not be able to complete their course before beng drafted, and the unusually high wages which they can command in the various industries. (See Table VI. for analysis of enrollment.) 28 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. UNCLASSIFIED STUDENTS. In the spring of 1917 the faculty made more liberal pro- visions for the admission of so-called “unclassified” students; the new rule allows high school graduates to enter who are interested in the practical work of the college, but who feel that they cannot come for the four years’ course. High school graduates of eighteen years of age, or older, will now be ad- mitted without examination or the presentation of the usual certificate required for admission to the regular course. These students may remain in college for not more than two years, and are restricted in their work to the courses in technical agriculture and horticulture. That this ruling will meet a very definite need is evidenced by the fact that this autumn, in spite of war conditions, we have an enrollment of 50 un- classified students as compared with the enrollment of 29 of a year ago. This work is somewhat comparable with the special two years’ courses offered at various other, agricultural colleges. RESERVE OFFICERS’ TRAINING CORPS. In harmony with a plan developed by the War Department for the training of reserve army officers, there was established at this institution during the winter of 1917 a branch of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. Under the requirements of this system all students in the institution will drill and pursue _ studies in military science for two years; at the end of this time students who so choose may, if approved by the presi- dent of the college and the commandant, continue their: mili- tary training on an intensified basis for the remainder of their college course. These students are required to attend military training camps in the summers, and upon graduation from the college may, provided they meet certain requirements, secure at the expense of the government such further training as will place them as commissioned officers upon a reserved list for a period of ten years. The government will in ordinary times furnish the uniforms for the lower classmen, and to those who are admitted for the advanced training the government will allow a cash payment for rations which will assist materially in meeting their college expenses. 1918.) PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 29 COMMENCEMENT. On account of the war, members of the senior class began to leave college in March, and all members of the class had by the latter part of May secured positions away from the college, either in military service or in some form of agricul- tural mobilization. Necessarily the usual plans for Commence- ment had to be entirely abandoned; it seemed desirable, how- ever, to arrange for simple Commencement exercises, and to secure the attendance of as many as possible of those entitled to diplomas. Saturday’ evening, June 30, was therefore set aside for Commencement. The degree of bachelor of science was conferred upon 103 men and one woman. Of this num- ber 65 returned to receive their diplomas in person. Nearly all of those who were unable to return were in military camps, although a few were engaged in important agricultural enter- prises from which they could not be spared even for a day. To those who could not be present the diploma was mailed. On June 27 the degree of master of science was conferred upon eight members of the graduate school. The Commencement program consisted of a dinner at Draper Hall, to which all seniors and members of the faculty were invited. The attendance was nearly 100. Following the supper were brief informal speeches by the president, the dean and representatives of the graduating class. At 8 o’clock the formal graduation exercises were held’ in the auditorium. The program consisted of music, a brief address by the president, and the awarding of the diplomas. FIrTietTH ANNIVERSARY. Soon after the outbreak of the war, in the spring, it was decided to postpone the plans for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary which was to be held in October, 1917. The brief history of the college, on which Mr. L. B. Caswell of the class of 1871 had been working for some months, has recently been completed. Work on the college bibliography is also going forward. The pageant master, Mr. Langdon, was instructed to finish the writing of the pageant, and the pageant music was completed by Mr. Philip G. Clapp of Dartmouth College. The pageant and its music, therefore, are in such condition that 30 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. their presentation can be arranged for at such future date as it may be considered expedient on which to have the post- poned anniversary celebration. Before leaving Amherst, Mr. Langdon read before our faculty, students and friends the principal parts of the pageant. Mr. Clapp was present, and gave a piano rendition of the promi- nent portions of the music. The opinion was unanimous that the pageant, if it could have been presented, would not only have been an attractive feature of the celebration, but would also have portrayed.in a most impressive manner the develop- ment of New England agriculture, and the relation to it of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. We most earnestly hope that the pageant may be presented at some future date. THe REUNION OF THE CuLaAss OF 1871. October 2 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the coming on to the campus of the pioneer class of 1871. -It seemed unwise to allow this anniversary to pass without some suitable recog- nition. Accordingly, arrangements were made with the class to hold a reunion here; the-date selected, however, was October - 12, in order that the class might be here after college should open. The following program was arranged and carried out: — Thursday Evening, October 11. Informal gathering at ‘“The Davenport.” Friday, October 12. 8.30 A.M. Business meeting of the class at ‘“The Davenport.” 10.00 a.m. Class photograph at ‘The Davenport.” 10.30 a.m. Auto tour of the college and environs in ohare of campus committee on reception. 1.00 p.m. Dinner at Draper Hall; ladies caste ; short addresses as fol- lows: — Greetings on behalf of the faculty, President Butterfield. Greetings on behalf of the alumni, Dr. C. A. Peters, Secre- tary of the Associate Alumni. Greetings on behalf of the trustees, Charles A. Gleason, Vice- President. Response by Mr. William D. Russell, class of 1871. Brief statement concerning pageant, William C. Langdon, Pageant Master. . Brief statement concerning history, Dr. Henry T. Fernald.

THe BowkER AUDITORIUM. I desire in this report to record formally the action of the trustees in giving to the auditorium in Stockbridge Hall the name of The Bowker Auditorium in recognition of the efficient and loyal service rendered the institution by William H. Bowker, a member of the class of 1871, and for over thirty years a trustee of the institution. LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATIONS. The college asked the Legislature of 1917 for appropriations totaling $488,200 for buildings, equipment and improvements to the property. The college also asked for $35,000 for build- ings, equipment and maintenance for the market-garden field station at Lexington. During the winter, as the price of coal and other supplies advanced, and as additional demands were made for an increase in the wages of laborers, it was deemed advisable to ask the Legislature for an emergency appro- priation of $25,000 to help meet these unexpected financial obligations. The Legislature finally agreed upon the following appropri- ations: $40,000 for improvements at the power plant, in- cluding a new chimney and an additional boiler; $33,500 for miscellaneous equipment and improvements; $10,000 for build- ings, equipment and maintenance of the market-garden field station; and $17,500 to be added to the appropriation for current expenses. 32 | AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PLANT. Contracts have been let for a new 450-horsepower boiler at the power plant, a new 150-foot radial brick chimney, and testing apparatus that will bring the plant to first-class condi- tion. The roof on the power plant has also been raised. One of the most important improvement items was the rebuilding of the house at Mount Toby; this has been put in first-class condition, and is now occupied by a caretaker of the reserva- tion. An additional glass laboratory for the department of botany has also been built. Numberless small changes have been made to keep the institution in first-class condition. THE INVESTIGATING COMMISSION. The investigating commission, appointed under legislative resolve by Governor McCall in the summer of 1916, was orig- inally instructed to report to the Legislature in January, 1917. Finding that the time thus allotted was not adequate to make a thoroughgoing investigation of the work of the college, the commission received authority to postpone the completion of their report until January, 1918. The commission has con- tinued its work during the year, and it is expected that the report will be made early in 1918. Tue Work OF THE FIELD AGENT. In July, 1916, a field agent was appointed. At that time there were no established lines of work for an appointee to this new office to take up. The important task of organizing adequate publicity is so new that I wish to quote somewhat from Mr. Gould’s report. The problem in college publicity seems to concern itself with the sys- tematizing, standardizing and centralizing of the publicity resources of the college. The primary function of the office was to collect and dis- seminate information concerning the Massachusetts Agricultural College. _ There was also turned over to this office the management of such institutions as high school day, alumni day and various conventions held on the campus. eae ae a Oy a ee ee ae 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 33 The High School Project. The purpose of this campaign was to acquaint Massachusetts high school men with the college. An appeal was made to the students in col- lege to aid in this particular phase of publicity work in high schools. Their response was encouraging. Thirty-nine high schools were visited and 194 individual interviews with students were held. The individual consulta- tions were held with those students who should have been or were seri- ously interested in M. A.C. Through this work it became evident that — 1. M. A. C. is little known and understood by a large number of high ~ ‘school men. 2. There are many men contemplating M. A. C. who are not really familiar with the work of the college. 3. There are not a few high school principals who are unfamiliar with the work of the institution. The Project with the Granges. Following the custom already in vogue, M. A. C. days with Pomona granges were arranged for with most of the Pomonas and a few locals. II- _ lustrated lectures on the work of the college were given at 19 such meetings, reaching 1,505 people. The value of this program is doubtful. The Excursion Project. A project for community excursions to the college was prepared and y presented to the county agents for their co-operation. No excursions of _ this special nature ever reached the campus, but 8 distinct organizations _ and several odd parties, totaling 1,162 persons, visited the college grounds between July 1 and Nov. 1, 1917. Publications. Publications issued from the office consisted of a Campus Guide, a booklet for high school men descriptive of the college, and a descriptive _ booklet for the department of landscape gardening. THe THREE-TERM PLAN. The academic year ending last summer was the first year in : which the college has operated under the new three-term plan. i a It is still too early to judge the results. So far as first im- = pression may be a guide, it may be said that the plan has _ worked well. One feature of the scheme, which eventually _ may make it actually a four-term plan, was to have special courses during the summer. Several of these had been planned for this last summer, but had to be given up on account of the war emergency. 34 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. . THe SmiraH-HucuHes Act. During the year Congress passed a law known as the Smith- Hughes Act, appropriating Federal money for vocational edu- cation of secondary grade in the industries, agriculture and home economics. The law is administered in each State under a board of vocational education, which in the case of Massa- chusetts is the State Board of Education. The chief interest of the college in the operations of this act is twofold, — first, that we think it fair to assume that the Agricultural College will be the training school for teachers of agriculture under this act; and secondly, it gives a strong impetus to the de- velopment of secondary education in agriculture, already well started in Massachusetts under the State Board of Education, and gives added importance to the need of a co-operative plan with reference to the agricultural development of a State system of agricultural education. Your president is in con- sultation with the Commissioner of Education on all these subjects. | | Tur ANTI-AID AMENDMENT. The college has always regarded itself as a public institution, and consequently has not supposed that it would be affected by the passage of the so-called anti-aid amendment to the © State Constitution. It may be desirable, however, to have — some legislation that will put on the statute books certain — definitions of status that heretofore have given rise to some uncertainties in the State House. It is understood that the method of electing members to © the State Board of Agriculture will have to be changed. This — is a matter that does not primarily concern the college, except | as it bears upon the general question of the intimate relation- — ship between educational and administrative work in such a | field as agriculture. Furthermore, the fact that the secretary — of the Board and the president of the college are, respectively, — ex-officio members of the other Board brings up a detail. 4 The county farm bureaus, which have developed so rapidly | in this State during the past few years, are considered by the | United States Department of Agriculture, and by the college % as well, as an organic part of the nation-wide system of agri- § 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 30 re. Sn fs ea, | le oa cultural extension service inaugurated by the congressional Smith-Lever Act. As a consequence, any legislation affecting these county farm bureaus is of concern to the college. The anti-aid amendment seems to make necessary the organization of these bureaus as public institutions rather than as corpo- rations. We are co-operating, therefore, with the Federation of County Farm Bureaus in the endeavor to work out proposed legislation that will meet the requirements of the amendment, insure the éffectiveness of the bureaus, and regard the interests of the college and the Department of Agriculture. CO-OPERATION WITH THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. During the early part of the year the State Board of Agri- culture and the trustees of this college endorsed a statement of principles that should govern a division of labor between the two Boards and the institutions they represent. The statement is as follows: — I. The State Board of Agriculture and the Massachusetts Agricultural College are, or should be, regarded as public agencies, to be sup- ported by public funds and to be subject to appropriate State control. II. The chief function of the State Board of Agriculture is administrative. Ill. The chief function of the State Agricultural College is educational. IV. There should be a standing joint committee on co-operation and ad- justment, comprised of two or more members of the Board of Agri- culture and a similar number from the Board of Trustees of the college, in addition to the secretary of the Board and the president of the college. VY. There should be distinct written agreements on the form and method of division of labor in all cases where there is, in the opinion of either institution, any overlapping or duplication of work. VI. It is understood that in the matter of employment of members of the college. staff as executive officers in the control or other work of the Board there will be definite agreements between the Board and the college: The gist of this statement lies in the assignment of adminis- trative work to the Board of Agriculture and of educational work to the college. The application of this principle will call for the consideration of some specific questions, such as the Inspection of fertilizers and feedstuffs now administered under 36 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. the direction of the Board of Trustees, and the Farmers’ Insti- tutes now carried on by the Board of Agriculture. Questions will also arise as to just what are administrative and educa- tional activities. Asa rule, these are clearly defined, but there will be instances where conference will be necessary to deter- mine the correct assignment. I would recommend, therefore, that the trustees join with the Board of Agriculture in main- taining a joint committee of conference. It is interesting to note that this autumn the Commissioners of Agriculture of the United States and the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations joined in a somewhat similar statement of functions, in which this _ fundamental principle concerning administrative and educa- tional work that we have already adopted in Massachusetts was the main feature. The Year in the Departments of Undergraduate Instruction. The dean reports that to the end of April the work of his office concerned itself with the usual routine of attendance, discipline and scholarship. At the beginning of the year the president appointed seven class advisers, three for the fresh- men, two for the sophomores, and one each for the upper classes. The work of these advisers, especially the freshman advisers, was helpful to a good many students, not only in respect to scholarship, but in respect to personal problems and other matters. This larger supervision of the men justifies the continuance of the arrangement this year, and will justify the extension of it in the future. After the end of April, when the boys were allowed to go out on mobilization work, giving them credit for the term’s work for doing twelve weeks of approved work, the task of following them up and keeping in touch with them devolved upon the dean’s office. Inasmuch as there were reports to be received from the 500 odd students at the end of each month’s work, and one each from employer and parent at the end of the three months’ work, the dean’s — work was comparatively heavy. The correspondence was neces- — sarily increased, inasmuch as many of the boys were con- — stantly changing their positions and asking for information — 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. Oo” along numerous lines. The records were not complete, of course, until towards the end of the summer, so that the last year’s work continued right up to the first days of the present school year. In the main, however, it was a pleasant task; the great majority of the boys were intensely earnest and deeply interested in their work. They made a fine record, — a record of which the college should always be proud. Until the early spring the work of undergraduate teaching went on much as formerly. As a result of the war, however, a number of adjustments have been made. The work of practi- cally all the departments has been modified to some degree better to meet the immediate demands of the hour. At the beginning of the present college year new courses were intro- duced for the purpose of more adequately preparing our stu- dents for supervisory positions another year. Additional work in conversational French has also been undertaken. For the most part, the department heads have been re- tained, but a number of men in subordinate positions have left, some to enter the armed forces of the country, and some to take positions of larger responsibility elsewhere. A large number of teachers have been utilized during the spring and summer for special work in connection with the war service which the college has undertaken. One of the most urgent needs growing out of our war work is that of a department of horticultural manufactures. Professor Chenoweth has during the past months undertaken considerable work of this char- acter in connection with his teaching in the department of pomology. For some years we have wished to develop work in this subject, and the emphasis now being placed upon the _ necessity of proper food conservation and preservation has ~~ driven home the importance of the immediate establishment of this department of horticultural manufactures. The departments of poultry husbandry and agricultural eco- nomics in particular made use of the emergency in the spring to give their students field work in their respective subjects. The department of agricultural education has made an analysis of the M. A. C. men who are engaged in educational work, and has also carried on correspondence with some 300 colleges with regard to secondary school agriculture as a sub- 38 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb.. ject for entrance credits for college. Correspondence has also been carried on with the principals of secondary schools in Massachusetts relative to the introduction of agriculture into the schools as a non-vocational subject. There have come to practically all departments this year an unusual number of demands for trained men to accept attractive positions as teachers, farm managers and experts in other agricultural vocations. Only a relatively small percent- age of these positions have we been able to fill. Needs of various departments, which have heretofore been emphasized, have during the past year become even more pressing. In general, the teaching staff is adequate for the ‘present demand. Several new buildings are, however, very badly needed. The more important of these are a new drill hall and armory, a library, a chemistry building and poultry houses. , After much study and conference there were developed during the past college year plans for work in technical agriculture and horticulture, designed to give every man entering the institution at the outset a general knowledge of the entire field of agriculture. This work was begun at the beginning of the present college year, and thus far it appears that the work has been conducted in an entirely satisfactory manner, and that it is meeting the hopes of its advocates. Owing to the resig- nation of Prof. John T. Wheeler, who has been the leader in developing this work, the plans for it are necessarily interfered with. We hope, however, that no serious interruption in the work will result. | In the department of physical education, owing to war con- ditions, a required course in field games has been introduced this October for freshmen and sophomores. This has been possible by the completion of the athletic field, which gives us ample room for handling large classes in outdoor games. Dur- ing the winter months all juniors, sophomores and freshmen will be given two hours per week of special exercise prescribed by the War Department for students in colleges having a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. ‘The shortening of the col- — lege year has made it necessary to abandon intercollegiate football and baseball. During the months of October and ee ee 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 39 _ November we have conducted a series of interclass football and track contests which have been very successful. About 125 different men participated in each Saturday program. The present development of general participation in games is due almost entirely to the completion of the athletic field. This development of outdoor work serves to emphasize more than ever the utterly inadequate indoor equipment. From Decem- ber 1 to April 1 the drill hall floor is in almost constant use until 9 o’clock at night. Under the provisions of General Orders No. 49, War De- partment, dated Sept. 20, 1916, an infantry unit of the Reserve - Officers’ Training Corps was established at this college on April 1, 1917, and since that date all instruction, both practical and theoretical, has followed strictly the curriculum prescribed in the orders named. The amount of time devoted to military work has generally been far beyond the requirements of the War Department. During the second and third terms last year special classes in junior and senior tactics of five hours per week were given. This training was in preparation for examination for admission to the Officers’ Reserve Corps. During the third term seven hours per week were devoted to practical outdoor work, and the satisfactory progress attained was made the subject of favorable report by the officer making the annual inspection directed by the War Department. The military department of this college has co-operated with the Intercollegiate Intelligence Bureau of Washington, D. C., and has furnished to it a number of names of men fitted for special positions, such as agriculturists, chemists, editors, statisticians and draftsmen, etc. During the year 3,162 volumes have been added to the library, making a total of 56,090. This number of accessions is smaller than for some years, and is largely accounted for by _ the entire absence of foreign books and periodicals. More work has been done by and for the faculty and others not connected with the institution. Requests by letter and otherwise for in- formation concerning the purchase of books and _ periodicals, _ and the use of agricultural literature in general, have increased and become quite a factor in the work of the library. Records concerning the library extension work show an increase above 40 AGRIC ULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. all previous reports. hig answer to requests from 56 bpasies in the Commonwealth, 820 books and 170 bulletins were loaned from this department. Library leaflets listing books on better farming, dairying, home economics, farm machinery and vege- table gardening were published during the year. Up to this writing 28 leaflets in editions varying from 1,000 to 3,000 copies each, make a total printing of 36,000 copies. All of this work has been carried on with as much dispatch by the mem- bers of the library staff and others as the crowded quarters and disarranged equipment would permit. Short Courses. Owing to war conditions several additional short courses were developed. There were 110 pupils registered in the winter school of 1917, representing several States. The eighth farmers’ week was held from March 26 to 30, with an attendance of 800. Polish farmers’ day was held March 26, the attendance being 300. In order to meet the demands of production, a series of two- day schools were held at the college during May. The regis- tered attendance was not large, but some of the courses were well attended, and the work well worth while. One and two- day schools were held in 85 communities throughout the State from May 24 to August 22. The attendance was 10,213, ~ with 12 instructors. 'The beekeeping school was held at Dalton — with the usual success. The apple packing school was dis- — continued. A series of four-day schools for conservation work — was held at the college during July. These schools were well — attended and unusual enthusiasm was displayed. A summer school of agriculture and country life. was held a as usual during July. The attendance of the school was some- — what affected by the pressure of the times. With the summer — school was united a school for Y. W. C. A. workers, conducted — under the auspices of the northeastern field committee of the © National Young Women’s Christian Association. This brought | into the school several students from various States, who put i much enthusiasm into our summer school. Some of the regular | courses were discontinued in order to establish new courses | along the line of conservation and production. The Poultry | - 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 41 Convention was held in July, and a good deal of enthusiasm was created. To the Ministers’ Conference and Conference for Rural Organization were invited the leaders in the emergency war work, and the conference took on quite a successful appearance. ; The supervisor of short courses calls attention to the fact that the short courses should have better financial support; the heads of departments are constantly calling for extra instructors and larger appropriations for laboratory supplies; also, one-year technical courses, such as poultry, animal hus- bandry and horticulture for students not of college grade; continuation courses of one year for graduates of agricultural high schools and departments of agriculture in high schools; a summer school of six or twelve weeks for pupils of college grade, with college credit, should be established. It is the aim of the college to organize the short course work so that the citizens of the State may have a chance to come to the college for help and assistance, be it for a period of three days, three months or for a year. It is desirable that all the short courses be organized under the supervision of one man who should be given time to do this work. The Year in the Graduate School. During the year further progress has been made in the organization of the graduate school, and in the working out of a number of minor problems connected with the direction of this work. The more notable advances during the year are the formulation by the graduate staff of rules governing the theses presented for the graduate degree; a more definite basis has been established for the granting of credits for advanced degrees; the work required of graduate assistants has been standardized. Only half as many graduate students are regis- tered this autumn as a year ago; this may be accounted for by the fact that the demand for trained men is this year al- most unprecedented, and that there are most attractive oppor- tunities for all such men who are not in military service. 42 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. ! [Feb. The Year in the Experiment Station. The station has been fortunate during the past year in retaining the services of the members of its staff in direct ' charge of important lines of investigation, with one exception. Dr. Van Suchtelen resigned to accept a position in his native country, Holland, and has been replaced in the department of microbiology by Dr. Itano. We have, however, lost a con- siderable number of assistants, chiefly through the operation of the selective draft. This in some cases has been followed by considerable interruption in lines of work in progress, as it is found difficult to replace the men thus lost with thoroughly qualified substitutes. Three important additions have been made to the station staff during the year —a field patholo- gist, an assistant in entomology and an assistant in the depart- ment of agricultural economics. The field pathologist has done a large amount of investigational work on the grounds of market gardeners, and experiments have been begun in the spraying of celery for blight and of beans for anthracnose. The new assistant in entomology, besides continuing the observations on the red spider, has undertaken the study of various insects doing serious injury in market gardens of the State, and an effort will be made, both on the pathological and entomo- logical sides, to render the utmost possible assistance to the market-garden interests of the State, with a view to the pre- vention of injury to our more important food crops. In the fifty-fourth annual report of the college will be found a somewhat full statement of the various lines of investigation in progress at the time of its preparation, and attention was called to the fact that in most of these continuance for a con- siderable number of years is essential. A restatement, there- fore, of the ground just referred to appears to be unnecessary at this time. The serious situation as affecting food supply due to the European war suggested the desirability of a careful consider- ation of the question as to whether lines of investigation in - progress should not be modified and new ones undertaken. With a view to getting suggestions from individuals who it was believed are as well qualified to make such suggestions as 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 43 any in the State, a meeting of the advisory council was called in June. The investigations in progress were quite compre- hensively, though of necessity briefly, described, after which opportunity was given for discussion and suggestions. If we may judge by the fact that no important new investigations were suggested, it would appear that the scope of our work as affecting food production and distribution was regarded by the members of the council present as at least fairly satisfac- torily covering the ground. During the past year, however, we have undertaken a few new lines of investigation. In connection with the cranberry substation in Wareham we have established in co-operation with the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States De- partment of Agriculture a plantation of swamp blueberries, with a view to investigating the possibilities of blueberry culture. The very high price of the cereal grains has indicated the probability that under existing conditions Massachusetts may profitably engage in the production of these grains on a much more extensive scale than in recent years. A considerable area on the Tillson farm and a smaller area on the home grounds of the station, therefore, are being used for the trial of nine different varieties of winter wheat and of new varieties of winter rye and winter barley. The chemical department, in co-operation with several other experiment stations, under the general suggestive leadership of Dr. H. P. Armsby, is beginning a series of experiments to determine the minimum protein re- quirements of growing animals. The solution of this problem should have an important bearing upon the economy of meat production. A number of forage crops new in the agriculture of the State and a considerable number of feeds also rela- tively unknown, have been under investigation as regards their _ value and adaptability to local conditions. Important investigations which should throw light upon the most satisfactory methods of feeding horses have been begun during the year. In these investigations the digestibility by horses of the important foodstuffs and their available energy in the animal economy will be determined. Experiments having indicated the superior value of the types of rust-resistant asparagus produced in the breeding work in tf AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. Concord, a considerable area has been set with plants of the best variety for the purpose of producing seed in such quan- tities that the demand of growers of the crop for the new varieties may be met. As the probable value of soy beans in the existing and pro- spective food emergency has been quite generally recognized, it was felt that there would be a large demand for seed, and a considerable area on the Tillson farm, as well as smaller areas on such of the station plots as could be used for the purpose, have been planted to one of the best varieties. Fairly satisfactory progress has been made in the investi- gation into the causes of tobacco sickness, although a hail storm of exceptional severity did much damage to a portion of the plots. The station has been exceptionally active in publication during the past year. Five important bulletins have been published and distributed, and no less than six others are either in the printer’s hands or now ready to go forward. Several of these are of permanent scientific value, and must ultimately prove useful through pointing the way to a more successful production of some of our important agricultural specialties or to a reduction in the cost of production, while others are of direct practical importance in the existing food emergency. In addition, several of the station workers have prepared for publication in scientific journals important papers dealing with results obtained in station investigations. The control work of the station has received the usual careful attention. Bulletins reporting the results of the in- spection of fertilizers and feeds have been prepared. The high price and scarcity of fertilizers seems to have suggested unusual activity on the part of those engaged in the production and sale of relatively worthless articles. An energetic campaign believed to have been quite successful was carried on with a view to preventing or limiting the amount of such sales. The blood tests for bacillary white diarrhea, with a view to the elimination of this disease from the State, has been ener- getically prosecuted, and this is highly appreciated by our poultrymen. ’ 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 45 NEEDS OF THE STATION. Land and Buildings. — The needs of the station were stated with some fullness in the report for last year, and it seems unnecessary to repeat the statement in full at this time. The needs particularly emphasized were the purchase of the Tillson farm and the erection thereon of a barn and dwelling house; the acquisition of land for a poultry farm; the purchase of the land leased for the stock and scion and other orchard experiments; the provision of a small orchard for the special use of the entomological department in connection with its study of spraying problems; the provision of buildings for experimental purposes at the market-garden field station.

Increases in the Staff.— Attention was called in the last annual report of the station to the fact that there is decided need for experimental work in rural engineering, in floriculture and in forestry. Provision for this work should be made at as early a date as possible. Particularly urgent are investi- gations in rural engineering and in forestry. Owing to the unusual conditions affecting the finances of the State, pro- vision for these investigations may of necessity be somewhat _ deferred, but it is hoped that it may be possible to provide for increased work along lines of investigations particularly important in the present emergency within the limits of our 7 present appropriations. The plan which seems to promise -. most important results of immediate and practical value is the employment of graduate assistants who will study, under heads 46 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. of existing departments, some of the problems most urgently demanding prompt solution. Food conservation and canning are among the more important of the subjects which should be thus provided for. The experiment station is carefully inspected every year by a member of the staff of the office of experiment stations. The inspection this year was carried-out by Dr. E. W. Allen, chief of the office, and it may not be out of place to call attention to the fact that after finishing his inspection, and just before leaving, Dr. Allen expressed his hearty satisfaction with the conditions he found. He stated that he felt that the administration was carefully looked after, and that we were - accomplishing a very large amount of highly valuable investi- gational work. He added that it seemed to him that the scope and amount of work must be regarded as extremely satisfactory. MARKET-GARDEN FIELD STATION. — In 1916 Mr. H. F. Arnold, then president of the Boston Market Gardeners’ Association, introduced into the Legislature a bill requesting $20,000 for land and buildings and $10,000 for equipment and maintenance for a market-garden field station,- which would be under the general direction of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. The Legislature of 1916 appropriated $8,000 to cover all purposes above mentioned. The final location of the property was decided by the trustees Nov. 9, 1916, and the following month the purchase was consummated. The parcel of land selected is located in Kast Lexington, and comprises 12 acres. The purchase price was $400 per acre. As weather permitted during the winter of 1916 and during the spring of 1917, the land selected was improved by the construction of roads, drainage, the removal of rocks, etc. The cost per acre for these improvements was $167.48, making the final cost per acre $567.48. In 1917 the trustees of the college requested $25,000 for buildings and equipment and $10,000 for maintenance to Dec. 1, 1918. The © Legislature appropriated $10,000, to be expended as follows: — $3,500 for a service building, $1 500 for equipment, and $5,000 — for maintenance to July 1, 1918. Work on the service building ~ was begun Aug. 7, 1917, and is now practically completed. — en 0 ee 1918.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 47 The appropriation for equipment and for maintenance is being. spent as planned. The farm operations of 1917 were confined to the growing of cabbages. ‘Ten acres were set to this crop. The yield was fair, and the sales up to December 1 approximated $1,500. As yet the field station is not adequately equipped to meet the expectations of those most interested in it, and accordingly the direct beneficial results are not greatly in evidence. The market gardeners, however, are interested in this project, and it is expected that, with their co-operation, the work may speedily become organized on an entirely satisfactory basis. The results of the farming operations in 1917 have put the soil in good condition and resulted in the practical extermi- nation of witch grass. While the land will not be in ideal condition for all garden crops in 1918, much more can be done with it than during the past season. Plans are under way to carry on several demonstrations, which should be of immediate value to vegetable growers in Massachusetts, and to start several experiments of fundamental importance to this type of Massachusetts agriculture. The Extension Service. The war has brought many changes in the personnel and the work of the extension service, and these began long before war was declared. Every effort has been made to meet the ever-changing conditions that have confronted us. The work developed so rapidly and the changes came so fast that it was very hard to do things in as substantial a way as might have been desired. In reviewing the year’s work, however, we feel that in the main the work was well done, and that every worker did as well as possible under the conditions. Changes in Staff. — Both permanent and temporary changes have been made in our staff in the past year. Director Hurd, who is on leave of absence until next July, is serving in Wash- ington as special assistant in the office of the Secretary of Agriculture. Prof. Austin D. Kilham is serving very acceptably as acting director. The assistant director resigned early in the year and his place was taken by an assistant to the director. Four members of our staff have been granted leave of absence 48 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. to enable them to do war work. Capable extension workers are becoming very scarce, and it is becoming more and more difficult to fill either temporary or permanent positions. - Co-operation with Other Agencies. — During the past year very pleasing co-operative relationships have been maintained with all of the organizations mentioned in the annual report of last year. The most noteworthy additions to this list are the Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety and the State Food Administration with their subordinate committees. Immedi- ately upon the formation of the committee on food production and conservation of the Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety, the extension service as a part of the college was placed at the disposal of the committee. Every member of the extension service helped the work of the committee in some way. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. TasB.eE II. New Appointments — Concluded. D. In the Clerical Staff. PosITION. | Name.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, KENYON L. BUTTERFIELD, President. y : REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE. Gentlemen of the Corporation. I herewith submit my annual report as president of the Massachusetts Agricultural College for the year ending Nov. 30, 1918, and with it transmit reports from other administrative officers of the institution. THE MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AND THE WAR. In common with many other institutions, our college work has, on account of the war, been materially affected during the past year. The college year 1917-18 was reduced in length to three terms of nine weeks each. It was thought that under the circumstances substantially all of the work normally given in twelve weeks could be crowded into the shorter terms. This did not prove to be the case, however, and partly because of this shortening and partly because of the general unrest which aitected college men all over the country, the academic work of the year was not entirely satisfactory. The present college year opened at the normal time, Septem- ber 25, and it was our intention to shorten the year by two weeks only. The cessation of the war, however, has so altered the situation that we will resume the normal schedule of three “ terms of twelve weeks each. a) ok De Students’ Army Training Corps. : On May 8, 1918, the War Department announced its plan for establishing a Students’ Army Training Corps in practically every American college. This plan provided for the enlistment in the army of boys from eighteen to twenty-one years old, and their assignment to colleges for one, two or three years’ work, and, under certain conditions, for even a longer period. The purpose of this plan was to maintain the normal attendance at 8 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. the colleges, and at the same time to train men for officers and for certain expert service in the army. The modification of the selective service law in August, whereby the draft age was lowered to eighteen, would have depleted almost to the last man the attendance at the men’s colleges. The provisions of the S. A. T. C. were immediately adjusted to meet the new situation. Our institution accepted the opportunity to operate under these provisions. ‘These con- ditions may briefly be stated as follows: men formerly enrolled in the college, and those between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one who were able to meet the entrance requirements, — were allowed to enter college as usual in the autumn. ‘These men were inducted into the army as regular soldiers, and as - such received the pay of privates, namely, $30 per month, and were clothed, housed, fed and trained at government expense. A contract was made with the institution for the housing,. feeding and medical care of the men. The War Department furnished the necessary military staff. These soldiers were re- quired to take military drill and certain academic subjects pre- scribed by the War Department. Such time as remained-was to be utilized by the soldiers in the pursuance of such academic courses as they should choose. | _ At the outset we were given to understand that boys twenty years of age would probably be allowed to remain in the college three months; nineteen years of age, six months; and eighteen years of age, nine months. The plan further contemplated dis- tributing members of the S. A. T. C. at the end of each three months’ period; their military and scholastic records would be. examined, and, on the basis of these joint records, one of three things would be done with the man: (1) he would be sent to an officers’ training school; (2) he would be allowed to remain at the college for further technical training; and (8) if he had shown no special aptitude, either for military work or for the technical training desired in the army, he would be sent to a depot brigade as a private. Men thus transferred from the col- — lege were to be replaced by detachments assigned from depot ~ brigades, who would be chosen as being qualified to benefit by — three months’ training at the college. The vacancies could also 7 be filled by high school boys completing their course during the L —-1919.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. - 9 _ year. The plan further contemplated keeping the college open during the entire year. _ The final regulations by the War Department allowed us to admit men who had completed fourteen units of high school . work in any subject. On this basis a number of men were admitted to the S. A. T. C. who would not have been ad- mitted as regular students. _ The S. A. T. C. was formally established Oct. 1, 1918. We originally asked to be allowed to enroll 350 men, but when the applications exceeded this number our quota was increased to 400; the: total enlistment was 351, with 12 others taking the work as civilians. | Early in October, by direction of the War Department, the best qualified members of the S. A. T. C. were transferred to officers’ training schools, and prior to November 12, 60 of _ these men were thus transferred. No other men, however, were assigned to take their places. With the signing of the armistice on November 11 the plans for the S. A. T. C. were immediately interrupted. Finally, on November 27, it was announced that the S. A. T. C. would be disbanded not later than Dec. 21, 1918. Under the requirements of the S. A. T. C. certain educational experiments were undertaken, some of which seemed to repre- "sent the foundation of beneficial reforms in educational methods. Sufficient opportunity, however, has not been given for the ade- - quate testing of these methods. _ In harmony with the expressed wish of the War Department, that soldiers be housed under conditions approximating as 3 nearly as possible the barracks arrangement at cantonments, we have utilized the dormitory rooms in North and South College, housing five to seven men in suites formerly occupied by two or tl reemen. ‘To supplement these accommodations we have used certain rooms in French Hall and in Draper Hall. The soldiers have been fed at Draper Hall. a This institution has been especially fortunate in the personnel of the military staff which was assigned for the training of our 10 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

War Work of the Institution. The institution has continued during the year its policy of co-operating with State and Federal agencies in the war pro- gram of food supply, distribution and conservation. A large part of our war work is performed through the extension service, — and in co-operation with the county farm bureaus. With a 4 farm bureau in each agricultural county, and with our staff of — agricultural experts continually in the field, the service both to : the producer and consumer of food has been inestimable. In . the summer of 1918, for the second season, the regular teaching — staff of the institution did a vast deal of additional work. It is difficult to totally enumerate the service thus rendered. Men — gave up their vacations, and in many instances took up work © outside of their normal field of teaching. It is not possible to — give sufficient credit to the individual members of our staff, who have, during the war, played the part of soldiers, and have worked to the limit of their time and strength. { During the summer of 1918, also, a very large percentage of : our students engaged in farm work, or were employed in muni-_ tion factories or in the production of other war supplies. q The Students and Alumni in Military Service.

The reports which come to us of the individual conduct of our men in the war reflect the highest credit upon them. Almost | 12. ———s AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. —_—_[Feb. without exception our men have acquitted themselves admirably, and in many cases have won military distinction. It is with a feeling of sadness, but at the same time of pride, that we think of our men who have gone into this great struggle never to return. Up to the present time 31 graduates and former students of the college have given their lives in the war; 22 of these have died in France, either in action or as the result of wounds; 3 have been killed in aviation camps in America; and 6 have succumbed to disease. I think it will be appropri- ate for the college at some date in the near future to recognize the supreme sacrifice made by these men by a proper memorial service, and cértainly by an adequate memorial which will per- manently express our appreciation of their loyalty and patri- otism. War Records. Careful records of the M. A. C. men in war service have been kept by the secretary of the college, and in October a bulletin was issued giving the names, class, home address and military | _address and rank of all men in the service on date of Septem- ber 1 whose records had been received. The total at that time was 731, with 221 commissioned officers and 274 men overseas. It is planned to prepare during the coming year a more com- plete list of these men, and also to bring together in one volume © other historical data bearing upon the contribution which our institution has made in this world struggle. q Depletion of the Staff. As was to be expected our staff has been further depleted dur- ing the year by the younger men leaving for war service. The names of men who are on leave of absence for this purpose are ~ found in Table IV at the end of this report. A few other men — have resigned their positions in order that they may enter mili- — tary service. Welfare Work. When the campaign for the combined war charities was — organized in November of this year our students and faculty © alike responded most generously. The total contribution of 379 — students, including S. A. T. C. men and regular students, was i 1919] PUBLIC DOCUMENT —No. 31. 13 4 over $4,000. Practically every student made a contribution. _ The total raised in the institution, including the faculty, clerks and laborers, was $7,575. — | As soon as it was known that a detachment of soldiers would be stationed here a faculty committee was appointed to under- _ take such welfare work in behalf of the soldiers as should be required. Working in co-operation with this committee the In- _ ternational Y. M. C. A. has placed on the campus a competent secretary who has done much to assist the soldiers and regular _ students. The Social Union Room in North College has been 4 placed at the disposal of the committee, and has been utilized as Y. M. C. A. headquarters. 14 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. REVIEW OF THE YEAR. REGULAR STUDENTS. In addition to the 363 soldiers who were enrolled, and who were composed of men who would normally be classified as. seniors, juniors, sophomores, freshmen and unclassified students, we had at the beginning of the collegiate year 97 regular and 19 unclassified students pursuing normal college work. Twenty- nine women students were included in the above, and the re- mainder were boys under eighteen years of age, a few who had been rejected from military training on account of physical dis- ability, and a few who were eligible to continue their college work for other reasons. There were 7 men and 3 women enrolled in the graduate school. Because of the small enrollment in the upper two classes it was not thought expedient to continue the major system on the normal basis; two majors were therefore offered, — one embodying the subjects formerly offered in the divisions of agriculture, horticulture and the department of agri- — cultural economics, and the other, a combined major in science. The work offered the freshmen and sophomores was only slightly changed from the usual schedule. The college rented the Kappa Sigma and Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity houses for use as dormitories for the girls. ‘The inter- — ests of the other fraternity houses were pooled, and the houses — have been used as far as has been possible for the accommoda- — tion of men students outside of the S. A. T. C. | A comparative analysis of this year’s attentaa is found in — Table VI. FUEL SHORTAGE. The college, in common with other institutions both public — and private, was affected by the fuel shortage of the winter of — 1918. Early in January, when the situation was most critical, — the Bowker Auditorium, Wilder Hall and the Mathematics — Building were closed. While considerable inconvenience to in- structors and students was thus caused, all co-operated heartily - in meeting the emergency. | 1919.] , PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 15 f THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC. Full induction of the S. A. T. C. was delayed because of the _ prevailing influenza epidemic. It was deemed advisable to can- cel all large gatherings, and for a period of over four weeks no. classes were held for the soldiers, their time being employed in out-of-door drilling. Draper Hall was reserved temporarily for hospital quarters, but fortunately it was not necessary to make © this use of the building. Strict rules relative to quarantine were enforced. The State Department of Health congratulated the college “for the admirable way in which the situation was handled, and your remarkable showing for health.” About 25 cases. of influenza were reported among the students and soldiers; none of them, however, were serious. At the present _ time the second wave of the influenza, which was predicted by _ physicians, has come, and a number of cases have occurred. Two members of our regular staff and the herdsman at the barn succumbed to this disease. Mr. Stuart C. Vinal, assistant in entomology in the experiment station, contracted the disease _ while on duty in the vicinity of Boston, and died September 26. . _ Mr. Vinal was a graduate of this college in the class of 1915, _ and had pursued advanced study in entomology. He had been employed by the experiment station ever since graduation, first as part-time assistant, and since September, 1917, as assistant entomologist. He was regarded as a young investigator of unusual promise. Mr. John J. Barber, the farm superintendent, after a severe illness of about two weeks, died October 3. Mr. Barber had served most acceptably as farm superintendent for nearly six _years. As a competent farmer, a skillful manager of men and a genial companion his loss is keenly felt. _ Mr. Maurice Calif, herdsman at the barn, contracted the disease, and after a brief illness of three days died on Novem- ber 19. | New DEPARTMENTS. ‘During the year two new departments have been established. The department of horticultural manufactures has been con- templated and urged for many years; the war has emphasized the need of such a department, and formal recognition has been 16 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. now given to this work by the election of Walter W. Chenoweth, formerly associate professor of pomology, as head of the depart- ment of horticultural manufactures. No adequate facilities are as yet available for the proper conduct of the work of this department. At present the activities are carried on at the cold-storage plant, the dairy building and one of the sheds attached to the horticultural barn, while the office of the head of the department is located at Wilder Hall. It is hoped that at a not far distant date a suitable building for teaching and investigations in horticultural manufactures may be provided. A vast amount of extension work has been done in this subject, and the demand will without doubt continue. Although funds were not appropriated by the last Legisla- ture for the construction of a women’s building, and for the adequate maintenance of a women’s department, it was the unanimous opinion of the trustees that the college could not longer disregard the demand made upon it for instruction in — home economics and allied subjects for women. Accordingly — Miss Edna L. Skinner has been elected professor of home © economics, and will take up her duties Jan. 1, 1919; she will © also serve as adviser of women students. Miss Skinner comes — with a training and experience which admirably qualify her to , undertake her important task here. She is a graduate of the ~ Michigan State Normal School, and has specialized in home _ economics at Columbia University, from which institution she © has a degree. She has taught household arts at Columbia for j four years, has been director of household science at James — Millikin University for five years, and during the past yee has — been teaching at Pine Manor, Wellesley, Mass. i RESIGNATION OF Dr. GATES. A Prof. Burton N. Gates, head of the department of beekeeping — since 1910, resigned at the beginning of: the present college year q to accept a similar position at the Ontario Agricultural College. | DreatH oF Mr. Hosmer. : On May 28 Hon. Frank A. Hosmer of our Board ot Trustee passed away very suddenly. The following resolutions were presented and adopted at the special meeting of the trustees held October 2: — q 1919.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 17 In MeEmorRIAM. Frank Alvan Hosmer, member of this Board since January, 1911, died at his home in Amherst on the twenty-seventh day of May last. _ Born Noy. 14, 1853, in Woburn, and educated in its public schools, he entered Amherst College in 1871, was graduated there in 1875, and in 1878 received its M.A. degree for postgraduate work in history and political science. After graduation he taught in the schools of Woburn, Brimfield and Palmer, and from 1879 to 1888 he held the dual positions of principal of the high school and superintendent of schools in Great Barrington. From 1888 to 1890 he was editor and publisher of the ‘‘ Berkshire Courier” in Great Barrington, and a correspondent of the ‘‘New York Herald.” _ For ten years, from 1890 to 1900, Mr. Hosmer was president of Oahu College at Honolulu, where he became prominent in social and civic affairs and sanitary problems, and in political activities that culminated in the establishment of Hawaii as a territory of the United States. He returned to the States in 1900, and after visiting England and France, settled in Amherst in 1901. _ During the last eighteen years he has served loyally and well his town, State and country — for the common interests of the community in which he lived — in many lines of public and community service, and particu- larly in these later days he had devoted his energies without stint to activities in support of the world-wide war for humanity. _ Mr. Hosmer represented the Third Hampshire District in the General C ourt of 1908 and 1909, was appointed by Governor Draper in December, 1910, a member of this Board, and reappointed by Governor McCall January last for another term. _ Here he has served continuously, and with diligence and faithfulness msurpassed, upon the trustee committees on finance, course of study and faculty, and on legislation, of which committee, during the last years of his service, he was chairman. _ He has always shown a broad, liberal and sympathetic spirit in con- ‘Struing the objects and upholding the standards of the college, and in } st iving to make those objects and standards effective through the work of its various departments. 7 He was cordial and sympathetic toward all. He laid hold on oppor- tunity gladly, accepted responsibility cheerfully, and undertook manfully Whatever work or duty came to his hand, until in a night he was taken, ‘after a life filled to its last day with the purpose and privilege of high calls fo service, bravely met and faithfully answered; be it therefore __ Resolved, That this memorial be inscribed upon the records of the Board; and that a copy hereof be sent to his beloved wife, to whom we offer our leepest sympathy. 18 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. - ‘Reb: Mr. Hosmer’s place on the Board of Trustees was filled by the appointment by. Governor McCall of Mr. Carleton D. Richardson of West Brookfield, who brings to his service on the ~ Board the experience of a successful farmer, and a leadership in agriculture represented by his distinguished service as master of the State grange and in various other public capacities. COMMENCEMENT. Owing to the fact that so many members of the class who would have graduated in 1918 were absent in war service, it was thought advisable to arrange a simple and yet dignified commencement program. The date set for this occasion was Saturday, April 27. Commencement was held in the forenoon — at Bowker Auditorium. President George C. Creelman of the Ontario Agricultural College gave an. interesting address on _ “The Duty of the Trained Asriculturist in the Present Crisis and After.” Brief remarks were made by Lieutenant-Governor | Calvin Coolidge, and the degrees were awarded by the presi- dent. Following these exercises an informal reception was held for the seniors and their friends, ahd a luncheon was given at. the dining hall to 150 seniors, guests and faculty members. Altogether, it was felt that the plans as carried out met the situation admirably.. There were 42 seniors present to receive” their degrees in person; 3 of this number were women. In™ addition, 12 degrees were awarded to members of the class who had attended the institution during the year but were at that time absent on war service. 5 _ ReEsicNaTIoN oF Dr. Brooks. i On account of ill health Dr. William P. Brooks, director of the experiment station, was granted a leave of absence on} March 1, 1918: subsequently he resigned as director of the! experiment station. His resignation was accepted by the trus- tees to take effect October 1, but he is retained as consult=| ing agriculturist of the experiment station. January, 1919, will be the thirtieth anniversary of Dr. Brooks’ service as professor’ of agriculture, and agriculturist for the experiment station; for | twelve years he has been director of the experiment station, ar \ 1919 PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 19 _ for one and one-half years, was acting president of the col- lege. The following resolution was adopted by the trustees in appreciation of this long and effective service: — The trustees of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, having re- ceived the resignation of Dr. William P. Brooks as director of the experi- ment station, after a service to the college as professor of agriculture, acting president and director of the experiment station, covering a period _ of almost thirty years, and having accepted the same, the members of the Board wish to express their appreciation of his long and faithful service to the college, and hope that he may be able to complete the compilation _ and publication of the results of the experimental work which he has carried on for so many years. LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATIONS. _ The Legislature of 1918 was requested to appropriate $136,845 for improvements at the power plant and at the j dining hall, and for other improvements and for, equipment; $28,500 for further improvements at and maintenance of the -market-garden field station; and $100,000 for a women’s build- ‘ing and the maintenance of women’s work. The amounts granted were as follows: — Meumeovementsatdiminghall, 2 2. es ue .. $12;000 Improvements at power plant, PALS ae Pewee Ms ao Sane tiniyh x h-. AOAROOO Improvements and equipment, ae be A 0000 Improvements at and maintenance of market-garden field sta- I 16,500 IMPROVEMENTS AND New CONSTRUCTION. _ The Legislature granted $54,500 for improvements to the ‘power plant, and contracts have been let for a new turbine I ouse, a new 300 kilowatt Curtis turbine and generating set, and new equipment for handling coal with a mechanical stoker ; this will reduce the labor costs at the power plant to the minimum. A new smokestack, 160 feet from the base to the top, and hay- ing an interior diameter of 7 feet, has also been constructed. The Legislature also granted $12,000 for improvements to the dining hall; these have been practically completed, and include a new refrigerating plant with six compartments, and a new storage for potatoes and coal. | 20 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb- WOMEN AT COLLEGE. You will recall that there was presented to the last Legisla- ture a bill asking for an appropriation of $100,000 for women’s work at the college, not over $70,000 of which was to be used for a building to house the work in its earlier stages, the remain- ing amount to be used for salaries and maintenance. The Legislature referred the matter to the next General Court, and so we have had no funds to develop the work properly. We have, however, as stated previously, engaged a head of a depart- ment of home economics and also a woman agriculturist. There — is little doubt but there will be a very large demand, both in } short and long course work, for women trained in agriculture. ; There are other phases also of the food supply problem, such as — home use of food and food conservation, in which women will é find a normal field of work. Rural home making ought to be ~ one of the main objectives of women’s work at the college. For 4 all this we will need dormitories, a staff of teachers and ade- quate maintenance. THe COLLEGE A STATE INSTITUTION. The college authorities have contended constantly that the — college is and always has been a State institution. However, y ' when the constitutional amendment was passed providing that ~ public funds should not go for the support of educational insti- ~ tutions not under public control, it seemed best to the trustees q that a bill should be introduced which should set at rest any — possible technical questions. The Commission on the Investi- i gation of Agricultural Education held the same opinion. The 4 Legislature made some important changes, and I think rather g unfortunate changes, in the original bill. The resulting law is © as follows: — | 7 ‘CHAPTER 262, GENERAL Acts oF 1918. | An AcT TO DISSOLVE THE CORPORATION OF THE MassACHUSETTS AGRI- ; CULTURAL COLLEGE AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE | CoLLEGE BY THE COMMONWEALTH. , . Be it enacted, etc., as follows: Section 1. The Massachusetts Agricultural College, incorporated by chapter two hundred and twenty of the acts of eighteen hundred and 1919] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 21 ' sixty-three and acts in amendment thereof and in addition thereto, is hereby dissolved, and hereafter the college shall be maintained by the commonwealth as a state institution under the name of the Massachusetts — Agricultural College. The commonwealth shall settle the affairs of the corporation, and shall be subject to its legal obligations and liable for its lawful debts. Section 2. The present fcanteos of the said corporation shall be the trustees of the state institution, and shall hold office as such until the expiration of the several terms for which they were appointed, unless - sooner removed. The power of appointment of their successors and the - power of removal of trustees shall be exercised by the governor with the advice and consent of the council. An appointment to fill a vacancy _ occurring prior to the expiration of the term of a trustee shall be for the unexpired part of the term, and all other appointments shall be for the _ term of seven years. The governor, the commissioner of education, the secretary of the state board of agriculture, and the president of the faculty of the college shall be, ex-officiis, members of the board of trustees. The number of appointive trustees shall never exceed fourteen. _ Section 3. The powers and duties heretofore conferred and imposed _ upon the trustees of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, are hereby _ conferred and imposed upon the trustees of the state institution, the _ Massachusetts Agricultural College, who shall manage and administer _ any grant or devise of land, and any gift or bequest of money or other personal property, made to the commonwealth for the use of said institu- _ tion, and shall carry out said trusts, and shall invest the proceeds thereof in notes or bonds secured by good and sufficient mortgages or other securi- e ties. All property now held by the corporation, the Massachusetts Agri- cultural College, upon special trusts shall be managed and administered _ by said trustees in behalf of the commonwealth in accordance with the provisions of such special trusts. _ Section 4. All expenditures for the maintenance of the institution _ shall be authorized by a majority of the trustees, or by a majority of a _ duly appointed committee of the trustees. Complete records and files of _ the pay rolls and bills shall be kept in the office of the treasurer. A com- plete accounting of all receipts and expenditures of the institution from all sources shall be made by the trustees to the governor annually. There shall be a complete audit of the accounts of the institution, including all _ receipts and expenditures, under the direction of the trustees at least _ twice a year, and also under the direction of the auditor of the common- _ wealth, whenever he may deem it proper. Monthly statements of re- _ ceipts and expenditures shall be rendered by the treasurer to the auditor. _ The expenditure of special appropriations shall be under the direction and _ control of the trustees, and shall be accounted for in the same manner as _ appropriations for maintenance. _ Section 5. All employees of the institution shall be considered state employees, but shall not be subject to the civil service laws and regulations. 4 22 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. | [Feb. Section 6. All acts and parts of acts which apply to the present Massachusetts Agricultural College shall continue in force and apply to the Massachusetts Agricultural College hereby created so far as they are not inconsistent with this act. Section 7. This act shall “lap? effect ae its Davi - [Approved May 31, 1918. The ee authorities at the State House are inclined to rule rather closely that under the new act all provisions for the conduct of State departments, ooards and institutions strictly apply to the college. Doubtless the acts of the trustees, and particularly all the financial transactions of the college, should be subject to review. But we are now required to conform to practices and rules which were apparently never intended to apply to the college, and which, if rigorously enforced, make in our judgment for delay, annoyance and even inefficiency. County Farm BuREAUS. By reason also of the constitutional amendment, the county farm bureaus were required to reorganize as public agencies, — two plans for which were discussed and presented to the Legis- — lature. The one tied the county farm bureaus: very closely to ~ the extension system now administered hy the college, and to © the United States Department of Agriculture; the other made z quite independent institutions out of each farm bureau. The — latter policy finally prevailed. It is evident that we must go ¥ through a period of adjustment of our extension service to the © work to be done in each county through the county farm — bureau. Whatever the legal authority, respectively, of the — bureaus, or of the college, or of the Federal Department of q Agriculture, the three must be closely knit by real co-operation 7 into a unified system of popular agricultural education. yy THe State DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. ; Under the constitutional amendment the Board of Agricul- | ture, which had rendered the State a significant and important © service for sixty-five years, was abolished, and a new Depart- | ment of Agriculture was established. It still remains for the college and the department to work out the details of a division of labor which will prevent overlapping of activities. | e 1919.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 23 Tue Smira-Hvucues Act. | The so-called Smith-Hughes Act of Congress provides Fed- eral appropriations to each State in the Union which will _ supplement the grant, with State appropriations, for the pur- pose of developing vocational education of secondary grade in _ the industries, in agriculture and in home economics. The _ State authority for the expenditure of these funds is the State Board of Vocational Education, which in Massachusetts is the _ State Board of Education. The principal immediate interest of the college in this act lies in the preparation of teachers of agri- - culture. We are working out a plan by which the college will ' become the training center for these teachers. Here, again, is exemplified the need of co-ordination of these new activities with those of the college, as a part of what will ultimately be a - comprehensive State system of agricultural education. SHORT COURSES. The short winter courses were started in the college about _ 1900, and were very greatly enlarged in 1908. In my report to _ your Board for the year 1915, I said: “I am convinced that $ the time has arrived when these short courses must be developed _ more fully, and fitted more completely into the State system of agricultural education.” The main reason why I have not here- tofore presented a comprehensive project for this enlargement _ was the lack of funds for the purpose. Under the five-year plan _ of financial support there was need for all the money for exist- _ ing projects. Now we are enabled to ask the Legislature for _ whatever money we feel we need: Furthermore, the war has _ made these short courses vitally necessary. A resolve of the Legislature for 1918 reads as follows: — ___ Resolved, ‘That in the opinion of the general court there should be estab- _ lished at the Massachusetts Agricultural College a two years’ course in x practical agriculture upon the completion of which certificates of gradua- tion should be granted, that the course should be open to all residents of _ the commonwealth who have attained the age of seventeen years and _ who possess the educational qualifications necessary for admission to any _ public high school of the commonwealth. 24 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, [Feb. The response of the college is indicated by the following votes _ passed by the Board of Trustees in October: — 7 Voted, That the college offer a course of study that will meet the intent and spirit of the Legislature of 1918, as embodied in the Senate Bill No. 374. And further, it was — Voted, That, recognizing the impracticability of organizing a course to cover two full years under present conditions, there shall, during the en- suing college year, be offered substantially a four months’ course for students having at least a grammar school education, and who are not less than sixteen years of age, if, in the judgment of the faculty of the college, such a course seems to be feasible and practicable during the war emergency. Prof. John Phelan, head of our department of rural sociology, has been appointed director of short courses, and has entered upon his important duties: with characteristic energy, enthusi- asm and thoroughness. I wish to call attention to the following statement of the director, embodying a plan for the immediate enlargement of — the work, which has been approved by your Board: — Tue NATURE OF SHORT-COURSE WORK. Short-course work, for convenience of classification, includes all courses offered on or off the college campus of more than a week in length and less than the four-year college course. It includes no course that has for its object securing the college degree, undergraduate or graduate. The purpose of short-course work is to provide instruction in agri- — culture and related subjects for men and women who either do not possess ~ college entrance requirements, or who, for one reason or another, are | unable to take the regular four-year college course. The objective of short-course work is very clearly defined. It is to pro- : vide such practical instruction and training as will fit men and women for ~ Massachusetts farms and Massachusetts farm life. The development of — agriculture in Massachusetts necessitates the training of larger numbers — of men and women who will have had such instruction as will enable them — to make the farms produce more and pay better, and to realize the oppor- tunities offered by agriculture in the State. Many classes of men and di women demand this kind of instruction. These classes vary from those ~ who have finished the eighth grade to the college graduate, but the ma- jority of short-course students come with a background of practical farm aa eS a / 1919.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 25 _ experience and a certain maturity of thought and judgment arising out of life. : | ’ Through the further development of short-course work the resources of the college will be made available to a large class of students in the State in so far as they are able to profit by these resources. It is not the aim of short-course work to enter the field of secondary agricultural edu- cation or to offer instruction preparatory for college, but to provide prac- tical courses for young men and women who feel they are too old to enter a secondary school, and for men and women of mature years and practical experience. Such students have already enrolled in the first term of our new two-year course in practical agriculture, and they always take ad- vantage of the opportunities offered by the ten weeks’ winter school. THE DEMAND FOR SHORT-cOURSE WorRK. Provision should be made as rapidly as possible, to meet the present demands for instruction from the following groups of students: — | 1. A large group of young men and women who dropped out of school _ at the eighth grade and went to work on the farm, or who took a year or _ two of high school work, but who realize now the need of education in ; agriculture. There should be a thorough course combining both theory _ and practice for this group of young men and women who will come from the farm and return to the farm. Actual farm experience should be a _ part of this course, and credit required and allowed. 2. Graduates of county agricultural schools, for whom a short course 4 should be provided that will supplement work of the county agricultural ~ school. y 3. Graduates of agricultural departments of high schools. _ A. Graduates of high schools, who have not had agriculture and who are not eligible to the four-year college course. e 5. Graduates of liberal arts colleges. _ 6. Adults who are not eligible to the four-year course. PLANS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHORT-COURSE WORK. ‘The Two-year Course in Practical Agriculture, recommended by the Legis- : lature. _ The rapid development of the military situation during the summer and fall made it inadvisable to attempt more than a four months’ course as the _ first step in the organization of a permanent, thoroughgoing, all-the-year course in practical agriculture combining both theory and practice, and 4 open to students seventeen years of age or over. The four months’ course that was authorized was open to men of sixteen, owing to the fact that _eighteen-year-old men were in military service. However, the age limit ‘will be raised to seventeen next year. The experience of the past two or th ee months has demonstrated that such a course will be warmly wel- -comed in the State, and will render a great service in the development of Massachusetts agriculture. 26 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. The Ten Weeks’ Winter School. This school, which has been established for a number of years, should be continued. There is a large demand for it. It serves more mature farmers and their wives, and has a very definite place. Se A Regtonai School. There has been a constant demand for a school of from four to six weeks in connection with some other educational institution located in the eastern part of the State, in or near Boston; by means of which short, practical courses in agriculture might be presented. The Summer School. The summer school meets a very definite need in the State. It provides instruction in agriculture for those who cannot attend at any other time. Graduates of County Agricultural Schools, Agricultural Departments of High Schools and College Graduates. To provide for this group of students I suggest the organization of one- — year vocational courses along special lines, similar to the course in poultry — now offered by the poultry department. ‘These one-year vocational ~ courses should be developed as rapidly as the demand for them seems to — warrant. The graduate of the secondary agricultural school would thus ~ be able to secure the particular kind of instruction that would meet his needs. In conclusion may I say that through short-course work the college — : will serve from 600 to 800 students each year other than those enrolled in | the regular courses. In order that the college may be able to render this g service it will be necessary to make financial provision for instruction, | equipment, etc. q ALUMNI STATISTICS. P| During the year the secretary of the college has made a study | of the occupations of the graduates of the college. The accom- | panying tabulation is based upon the civilian occupations of the 4 | graduates covering the period from 1871 to 1916, inclusive. | Special attention is called to the fact that of the living gradu- | ates whose occupations are known over 56 per cent. are found — in the classes of the eleven-year period, from 1906 to 1916; and — less than 44 per cent. are found in the thirty-five year period — from 1871 to 1905. The percentage of farm operators, including market gardening and floriculture, is substantially the same for ~ the graduates of the earlier period as for the later period. It | should be noted, however, that during the past eleven years: 3 : 1919.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 27 there has been a very marked increase in the percentage of graduates going into agricultural vocations, whereas of the graduates of the first thirty-five years a very large percentage went into non-agricultural vocations. Thus it appears that of the graduates of the first thirty-five years less than 53 per cent. are engaged in agricultural vocations, whereas of the graduates of the eleven-year period following that the percentage rises to above 77 per cent. Correspondingly, the percentage of gradu- ates for the first period in non-agricultural vocations was 47 per cent., and for the second period, 23 per cent. Referring again to the fact that over half of the living graduates of the college fall in the second group, I think we find a satisfactory answer to the criticism that is sometimes made that we are not training definitely enough for the agricultural vocations. ey i i i ~ eee Occupational Classification of Graduates based on Statistics of Civilian Occupations collected August, 1918. 1871-1905. 1906-16.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON THE INVESTIGATION OF AGRI- CULTURAL EDUCATION. In January, 1918, the Commission on the Investigation of Agricultural Education, which was appointed during the sum- : mer of 1916, made its report to the General Court in a docu- ment of sixty pages, which covered in a very broad way the activities of the college and contained suggestions for improve- ment. The following is a digest of the main recommendations and criticisms: — The Trustees. —The commission recommended no change in method of trustees’ appointments, and said: : Happily, political considerations have not apparently influenced the appointment of trustees in the Massachusetts College.”’ _ The Faculty. — It was recommended that the faculty “should be paid adequate compensation for the services they render,” and the statement was made that there was no evidence that ~ ~ members of our faculty were engaged in outside activities detri- — mental to their work. } Retirement Age and Allowance. Ore commission recom- | mended: “That all teachers or scientists of the staff be retired at the age of sixty-eight, and that persons so retiring, who have | been in the service of the college at least fifteen years, should ~ be granted retirement allowance either by the trustees or by the ~ Teachers’ Retirement Board, after suitable legislation.” a Entrance Requirements. — The commission took the position | that students should be as well prepared for entrance as those ~ applying to any other college, and that the college should make its degree of equal worth to the degrees conferred by other colleges. The commission indicated a feeling that the entrance ~ requirements had sometimes been administered a little too + severely, with the effect of excluding some who were qualified to ~ take the college course, and recommended that the methods of — entrance should be broadened somewhat, with a rather more — liberal policy of probation for students who technically may slightly fall below the requirements. It also recommended that more credit should be given for entrance to students who had had agriculture in county schools and in agricultural depart- ments of high schools. | Oe 4 1919.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 29 Courses of Instruction. —'The commission laid down for the college the general principle that “in its distinctive field of agri- culture, it should be comparable with the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology in its field of the mechanic arts. No countenance whatever should be given to any suggestion that the agricultural college be placed on a level with trade or voca- tional schools.’””? The commission called attention to the fact - that the college is bound, by the language of the original Morrill act, under which it was organized, “to give a liberal education _ as an integral part of its distinctive work.” In discussing the criticism that too small a proportion of the graduates of the col- _ lege became practical farmers, the commission said that “the ; ere ee ee ee ee +. > ae ee ee eS POU criticism is no longer merited,” and further, “that the college, in comparison with other agricultural colleges, makes a dis- tinctively favorable showing, particularly in the proportion of its graduates who have become agricultural teachers and ex- _ perts‘in‘agricultural science. The college authorities should be fully assisted by the public in maintaining a high standard of instruction and in holding students to high standards of schol- _ arship.”” The commission also endorsed the practice of the col- lege of admitting students from other States. _ The Graduate School. —'The commission heartily commended _ the plan of maintaining a graduate school of high grade, and recommended ample provisions for its support. The Experiment Station. —'The commission emphasized very a strongly the fundamental place of the experiment station, and recommended that the station be entirely relieved from the _ administration of control laws, in order to devote full time to peeermental and investigational work. | The Extension Service. — The commission gave high praise to _ the extension service for its work in the field, but was critical of _ what it believed to be an apparent effort on the part of the col- _ lege, through its extension service, to engage in activities that _ lie beyond the legitimate scope of an educational institution. pection to the State Board of Agriculture. — The commission Ai and the trustees of the college. _ Board of Agricultural Co-ordination. —'The commission recom- 30 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. — | [Feb. lished by legislative action, whose duty it shall be to correlate the agricultural agencies of the Commonwealth, to supervise their respective publications, to prevent overlapping, and to secure the greatest efficiency and economy in their work.” — Material Needs of the College (Financial Support). —'The com- mission stated that “the first need of the college is permanent — and adequate financial support.” After discussing various methods of support, the commission said: “It is clear that itis desirable, from the point of view of the college, that its income may be so insured as to make possible the arrangement of a program of development for more than one year at a time.” The commission endorsed the principle, which has been _ adopted in seventeen other States, by which the Legislature “fixes in the statute a fractional or millage basis for the support of the college.’”’ Attention was called to the large amount of time and energy required each year in urging before the Legis- lature the needs of the college. The report also stated that, “in the event of the adoption of the State budget plan, the commis- sion sees no sufficient reason why the Massachusetts Agricultural — College should not be included in its operation.”’” The commis- 5 sion stated that the accounts of the college are well conducted. | Material Needs of the College (Buildings). — Attention was — called to the fact that the early buildings of the college were ~ cheaply constructed, that they have all been outgrown and © -most of them worn out, and that important buildings are now q imperatively needed. Special mention is made of an adequate | library as being one of the greatest material needs. A strong © case was made for the erection of a modern, commodious and ~ fireproof building for chemistry. “Both to meet the vital re- 5 _ quirements for military tactics and to provide means for the physical development of the students, the trustees should be — | empowered to provide a suitable gymnasium and armory.” | The commission recommended also that the trustees be em- | powered to make arrangements for a complete dormitory © system, that the central heating plant be fully equipped, in- ¥ cluding a system of underground tunnels, and that the finan- ~ cial item for repairs be considerably enlarged. The commission believed that the quality of live stock should be improved, and mended that “a board of agricultural co-ordination be estab- | “ ‘ ; ' a : 1919] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 81 that more land should be purchased for the various purposes of the institution, The commission presented to the General Court two plans for financial support, the first calling for a permanent annual ap- propriation for all purposes equivalent in amount to “twelve one-hundredths of one mill for each dollar of the total assessed valuation of real estate and tangible personal property in the Commonwealth.” The alternative bill called for a five-year ap- propriation for all purposes, beginning in 1919 at $590,000, and increasing each year to the amount of $716,000 in 1923. The Budget Bill. — Acting on the suggestion of the commis- sion, that if the State adopted the budget plan the college should fall in line with it, the trustees prepared a bill which em- bodied the principles of the millage tax and the budget system _ combined. The Legislature took no action on this bill. The commission’s report represents the fullest and broadest _ investigation the college has ever had, and I hope that when the war emergencies are over the findings of the commission may receive adequate attention. While the commission was critical of the college in several important points, it gave a general en- dorsement of our main policies and an unqualified approval for : much larger financial support. Tuer LEGISLATIVE BUDGET. In compliance with the new rules for submitting institutional budgets, the trustees have passed a budget covering expenses - for 1919, which represents somewhat of an increase over the appropriation for 1918. Because of the fact that we are now _ required to estimate our expenditures on a gross rather than a net basis, it is not easy to show how the Enduy for 1919 _ compares with that of 1918. ABSENCE IN FRANCE. Your Board, as you will recall, has voted to give me leave _ of absence for one year in order that I may accept service in _ France with the Army Overseas Educational Commission. I _ wish to thank you for this opportunity to attempt a very im- _ portant work, not only on behalf of our soldiers on the other _ Side, but also on behalf of agricultural education and improve- 32 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. ment in the days after the war. Dean Lewis, who served so acceptably as acting president at a former period, will act in that capacity during my absence. The Year in the Departments of Undergraduate Instruction. The dean reports ‘that, in addition to the regular work of his office in attending to the absence records, discipline, etc., a large service was rendered through the faculty advisors in the effort to keep boys in college for the entire year, rather than volunteering for some branch of the military service. When at the end of the year the students were more free to enter the service the dean spent much time in keeping in touch with the _ boys, supporting them with proper recommendations and assist- ing them in entering the military branch of their choice. ‘The system of faculty advisers for the different classes proved for the second year to be very much worth while. The seven advisers distributed among the four classes were members of the scholarship committee, and met weekly for exchange of views and discussion of the general scholarship situation. The dean recommends that this system, because of its efficiency, be extended. Because of the shortening of the year, elsewhere setonie to, and because of the general unrest which prevailed in the student | body, the opinion of the students and faculty was that the work of the last academic year was not entirely satisfactory. It was apparent, however, that a similar situation prevailed at other educational institutions, and that here the situation was diffi- cult, if not impossible, to overcome. Moreover, certain depart- ments were handicapped by the fact that many of its teachers q : had left for military service. Until the end of the last college year the only department to be entirely abandoned was forestry; | in all other cases the normal work was carried on as well as — could be expected under the circumstances. The work of the department of physical education was sna 4 fied to better meet the requirements of the military department as prescribed for the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. There — : oe ee were no intercollegiate athletics during the year, but there were p | substituted for the same intergroup contests in football, basket- q ball and hockey. -1919.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 33 In the department of agricultural education apprentice teach- ing has been made a part of the work for students in training for educational pursuits. Arrangements have been made with _ the school authorities of Amherst, Hadley and the Smith Agri- ~ cultural School of Northampton for carrying out this project. _ Apprentice teaching has been put on a permanent basis in co- operation with the Massachusetts Department of Education, under the general supervision of the Smith-Hughes Act. During _ the year the department published a bulletin exemplifying the _ efforts in apprentice teaching. The library has taken its place with the other libraries of the country in contributing its time and service to the carrying on of war work. Several hundred volumes have been selected from miscellaneous contributions and sent to Camp Devens and _ to the American Library Association Despatch Office in Boston for direct shipment to France. The librarian spent ten weeks _ during the summer as acting librarian of the library at Camp _ Johnston, Jacksonville, Fla. The brief history of the Massa- _chusetts Agricultural College, prepared by L. B. Caswell, 1871, and the “Bibliography of the College,” Part I, issued by the _ college in commemoration of the completion of the first fifty _ years of instruction (1867-1917), have been printed and are being distributed. By far the most important gift to thé _ library during the year is the “Thurber-Woolson Collection of Botanical Manuscripts.” Some time ago George C. Woolson of _ the class of 1871 presented to the library more than a thousand letters from prominent botanists and eminent men of science. Letters from such men as Louis Agassiz, Spencer F. Baird, i Charles Downing, Amos Eaton, George Engleman, G. Browne if Goode, Asa Gray, W. T. Hooker, Fred Law Olmstead, C. F. _ Rafinesque, C. V. Riley, C. S. Sargent, John Torrey, Edward ¥ Tuckerman and George Vasey are to be found in this collec- : tion. All of these letters, postal cards, photographs and en- ‘ gravings have been carefully mounted and bound in four large quarto volumes. The material given by a member of the i pioneer. class of the college has intrinsic -value and will always _ be of interest, and the splendid manner of its preservation adds dignity not out of proportion to either. 34 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. thee The Year in the Graduate School. The attendance at the graduate school was, owing to the war, very much below normal. There have, however, been twenty- seven members of the school since Dec. 1, 1917. Many of these were in attendance but a short time, and fully half have been regular members of the staff. The Year in the Short Courses. The attendance at the winter and summer schools was oa greatly affected by the war, and no expansion of the short- — course work was undertaken until after the close of the collegi- — ate year. Mention has already been made of the plans for — _ developing this work in the near future. a | The Year in the Experiment Station. The past year has been marked by the loss, owing to ill health, of the services of Director Brooks. Prof. Fred ie, gs Morse is serving very acceptably as acting director. i The growing season has been favorable for practically all the — | field experiments, which are a continuation of those of past — | years. For the first time in the station’s history wheat was | made a prominent crop, and excellent yields were obtained from nine’ varieties secured from the western wheat States. .% An investigation of growing, handling'and marketing tobacco was completed by Mr. S. H. DeVault, assistant in agricultural economics, who resigned to enter the army after finishing his — | report. His material will be edited and prepared for publica~ | tion by the department. P - Diseases of the potato have required the attention of the 4 botanical department throughout the summer, and the tobacco problem has been continued on the lines of last year. An in-— vestigation of rose canker was thoroughly made by Dr. P. J. | Anderson, to the great benefit of the florists. 4 The inspection of feeding-stufis and fertilizers has become of | | increased importance because of numerous attempts to work — on to the public waste materials which are practically worthless - Base 1919.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 35 for their intended uses. Feeding and digestion experiments were conducted with hitherto little-used feeding-stuffs to deter-. mine their proper proportion in a ration. Much time was given, in co-operation with the State Food Administration and the Federal Fertilizer Control, to efforts to suppress the sale of worthless materials. _ The European corn borer has been an especially serious prob- lem for the entomological department. Before the active sea- son was begun, a contract had been made with the Bureau of _ Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture for co-operative work in suppressing this dangerous pest. The ex- “periment station is to investigate the habits of the insect and possible methods for its control, while the Bureau’s forces are to take charge of the survey to determine its spread and of the work of suppression. Mr. S. C. Vinal, assistant entomologist, who first discovered the presence of the insect last year, was engaged throughout the season in the study of the insect’s habits, until his untimely death from influenza on September 26 ended the work of an enthusiastic, painstaking investigator. The severe winter prevented the beginning of an experiment in cross-pollenization of peaches, by the complete destruction of peach buds throughout the region. The microbiology department began this year a systematic _ study of the principles involved in preservation of fruits and vegetables by canning. The amount of work performed was _ limited by inability to secure the assistance needed. This station is now apparently alone in the study of inherit- ance of egg-production in fowls by its department of poultry husbandry. This department is perfecting plans, in co-opera- _ tion with the department of microbiology, for resumption of the suppression of bacillary white diarrhcea in chicks. The cranberry substation succeeded in raising a maximum crop of cranberries in spite of the unusually late spring and Sn, early fall frosts. The station has lost the services of one after another of its 4 staff during the year without being able to replace them. It a has been possible to make progress in most of the investigations, however; but as lines have been completed it has not been 36 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. # f practicable to begin new projects. A curtailment of the work of the station has thus been unavoidable, and its effect will probably be apparent in future publications. The Market-Garden Field Station. Beginning with the season of 1918, the work has been planned on definite projects. The following have been started to date: — | Limited variety tests. Asparagus demonstration plot. Manure economy tests. Special celery variety test. Seed growing. Production of root crops. Test of maggot control for turnips. Test of ‘‘ Natures Plant Food.” Spraying for the control of celery blight. Tests of lettuce varieties. Tests of spinach varieties. All of the above projects have been carried through this first season, and results have been noteworthy. Labor conditions have prevented the proper conduct of the work; more assistance | will be needed to care for the records, in order to make the — work of maximum value. The sales for the year ending Nov. - 30, 1918, will approximate $2,000; it is the policy to make sales _ a secondary consideration, but to eliminate all possible wastes _and sell at wholesale in the Boston market when such sales do not interfere with tests under way. Bi War conditions have made it impossible to complete the © building program provided for by the Legislature of 1918. It © has been necessary to defer the construction of the foreman’s — cottage because the funds available are entirely inadequate to | construct a suitable house at the present cost of materials and ~ labor. The two greenhouses planned have been erected, but it — has been decided to defer the construction of the boiler house until next year. q Two meetings of vegetable growers have been heldi at the : | market-garden field station. The first of these was a meeting of — the Boston Market Gardeners; about 40 were present. o a 1919.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 37 second was a field day, on August 10; in spite of the difficult labor situation and bad weather 130 were present} including a large delegation from Worcester and Directors Hartwell and Lipmann from their respective experiment stations. It is felt that the market-garden field station can be made a very powerful factor in interesting and benefiting the commer- cial vegetable growers of Massachusetts. There has been a growing interest in the work, although the year has been a difficult one in which to bring men to the station because of the labor situation. With the development of the greenhouse equip- ment and the better knowledge of the work, it is believed that the market-garden field station will fully measure up to ex- pectations. The Year in the Extension Service. The director points out that the year just closing has been one in which there have been many difficult problems to meet, but at the same time it has been one rich in opportunity. There have been many changes in the staff, and under present _ conditions it is extremely difficult to fill vacancies with compe- tent persons. New legislation in Washington supporting the work, with the attendant regulations, and the organization of the Food Administration with its large number of workers, many of whom were unacquainted with the agricultural field and the system of agricultural education which has been built up, have raised many perplexing problems. We have tried to x organize our extension service so that it would at least possess $ the elements of elasticity and adaptability in order to meet any _ emergency, and we have tried to imbue all our workers with a be co-operative spirit in order that the extension service may _ function with other legitimate institutions of a public and pri- _ vate nature. Under all of these and other conditions the director believes that there is reason for our feeling a good deal _ of satisfaction with the work done and the progress made in developing the agriculture and seruAgty life of Massachusetts h during the past year. The director returned from Washington to active duty at _ Amherst on April 1, and on that date Mr. Kilham was assigned as the college representative in the office of the Food Adminis- _ trator in Boston. 38 _ AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. oon TBeb. It would seem that perhaps the most striking thing in, the work this year has been the assistance which our staff has been able to render to other organizations. ‘There has been perfect — co-operation between the extension forces and those of the Food | Administration. The latter has delegated to the extension forces the work of increasing production, and home conserva- tion. The extension forces have in turn given all possible aid, consistent with their work as teachers, in helping the Food Administration in its control and regulatory work. As a result of this co-operation it has not been necessary to create new machinery to meet the demands, although at times extra work-.. ers have been added. Several of our staff have helped the Regional Milk Commis- sion in the work of fixing the price of milk. Our staff has given extended courses on food work at Smith, Mount Holyoke and Simmons colleges, and at some of the © normal schools. We have co-operated with a number of or- © ganizations in Boston in maintaining the demonstration work on Boston Common.. Members of our staff have been lent to — farm bureaus, without charge for their services, for considerable — lengths of time. Courses of lectures have been given for the | school committee of Boston and the Boston Chamber of Com- ~ merce. The above will serve as examples of co-operation, but | by no means exhausts the amount of work carried on with 7 other organizations. q The large volume of work this year has been made possible | by emergency funds coming from Washington, and those appro- © priated by the Massachusetts Food Administration. qf The reorganization of the farm bureaus in accordance wit $: the act of the Legislature, making these organizations public | institutions in compliance with the anti-aid amendment, has — made readjustments advisable in the relationship of the Federal © and State extension systems to these county organizations. On | ‘October 1 the director assumed again direct relationship with | the county organizations in matters of policies, finances ang j general administration, and Mr. 8. R. Parker on that date — became State leader of agricultural projects. : a We come to the close, on December 1, of the five-year nerionl | for which funds have been appropriated to the college for | | 191977 PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No: 31. 39 extension work in this State. The increase in the scale of salaries which must now be met, the increased cost of travel, equipment and supplies, the need of making permanent some of _ the projects which have been supported by the State Food Administration this year, and the desirability of adding special- ists in departments of work which are much called for, make additional funds necessary for 1919. / 40 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. ~ * [Feb. THE SCOPE OF THE COLLEGE TASK. In my report of last year I called attention to the fact that the war had definitely and permanently enlarged the field of our service as a public institution. Not yet are all the features of this widened field clear. Just what effect this broadening of scope will have upon our investigation and our teaching and our extension work, we do not know. But we should realize — that the change has come. To illustrate the character of the change, I wish to submit an outline of the food and feed supply problem prepared by Miss Lorian P. Jefferson on the basis of memoranda gathered both from our staff and from outside agencies. Unquestionably, we must deal not merely with the production of food and feeds, but also with their conservation and use. I am quite sure that in the near future we must en- large our plans for investigation as well as for teaching, in an effort to occupy the entire field indicated in the outline, which follows this part of the report. 19191] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 4] THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF THE COLLEGE. LEGISLATIVE BUDGET, 1919. While the country was confronted with the sole problem of prosecuting the war with all its available resources and energy, this institution adopted the policy of not pressing for legislative _ appropriations for large construction projects. In view of recent military developments, the early need of absorbing the labor of | our returning soldiers, and the inevitable increase in our student _ body, especially the increase of women students, it now seems advisable not only to ask for the completion of some minor proj- ects of long standing, but also to urge an appropriation for the proper accommodation of our women students. Accordingly, the following requests will be made of the Legislature of 1919: — _ ‘ 1. Women’s building andequipment, . . . . . . $150,000 2. Miscellaneous improvements in buildings and grounds, and " teaching, operating and office 5 NS Ai ans teegeeOD _ 3.

Ones 6 A OOO $200,000 __ Following is a brief explanation of the need for the appropria- tions thus requested: — Women’s Building and Equipment, $150,000. The demand for the development of this work is much more pressing than it was a year ago. Women are continuing to ‘come to us, and many more would come if we had adequate accommodations for them. Thirteen women came in Septem- ber, and I understand that 8 or 10 of the 40 students who are : coming to our short course from December 1 to April 1 are women. The past year has tremendously increased the interest of ‘women in all phases of agriculture and the food problem. With the two-year short course starting in full swing next Sep- tember we shall probably have close to a hundred women stu- _ dents on the campus. 42 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. How we shall take care of them with our present very meager housing facilities, it is dificult to say. Already we have more women than we can satisfactorily house. One thing is certain, — we cannot turn them away; in some way we must provide for them. A new building, therefore, should be built at once. It will be impossible for us to do anything for them next autumn, because it will be at least another year before any building will be ready to accommodate them. To ask them to wait two years would be grossly unjust to the women, who are pressing to take advantage of the work that the college has to give and which the State so much needs. In respect to this most urgent demand and the general aspects of the problem, I feel that I can do no better than to quote in part from my discussion of a year ago: — The Massachusetts Agricultural College is the only land-grant college in New England, and I think I am correct in saying the only one in the north, that does not have special courses and provision for women. This — fact is not necessarily conclusive as to our own policy; it does, however, - indicate that we stand alone in the policy, and consequently must justify — it if it is to be maintained. The development of woman’s interest in poe is rather notable. — The number of women farmers in the east seems to be increasing. The organization of women interested in agriculture, started some years ago, — has been fostered by the war, and has become a strong movement. The — mere fact that girls are taking courses in agriculture, short and long, in © rapidly increasing numbers is of utmost significance. It is worth noting 4 that before the war European as well as British agricultural educational — systems were providing increasingly for women. | The emphasis upon the importance of food thrift in this war has in- | creased immeasurably the need of providing for the education of women | in certain lines of endeavor for which there is now wholly inadequate © preparation. Questions as to the use of food, the saving of food, the pre- serving of food — to a large extent matters in charge of women — raise ; nothing less than an issue. ; There is a fundamental reason why an agricultural college should pro-_ vide courses for women. For fifty years we have been endeavoring . through research and teaching and extension service, to enable the farmer § to make more money from his farm. As already noted, many of the land-grant colleges have courses in home economics. It is doubtful) however, if any college has yet adequately provided for. the training of women for rural home making in the same sense that they have attempted | to train the men for farm making. But however that may be, and what= ever may be the difficulties in the way of carrying out such an ideal, the 2 ee ee 1919.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 43 fact remains that the whole field of rural home making needs to be devel- oped, and can be developed adequately only in the atmosphere of an agricultural college. _ I believe that we should not longer delay the inauguration of this type of work. The students are coming to us, the percentage of attendance increasing very rapidly in spite of the fact that we offer no special en- couragement. Moreover, this very war emergency that is reducing our attendance of men increases the call for special work for women. Par- ticularly in relation to the food question as a practical contribution to the war, both in production and in conservation, we find the need for educa- tional work. I therefore recommend that we ask the Legislature this year for an appropriation of $150,000 for a dormitory building and equipment which will accommodate from 75 to 100 girls. Miscellaneous Improvements and Equipment, $35,000. Each year we are obliged to seek an appropriation for miscel- laneous improvements in buildings and grounds, and for miscel- laneous teaching, operating and office equipment. Inasmuch as our requirements are never met by the Legislature, the list of improvements and equipment presented this year is, therefore, _ somewhat of an accumulation of needs of long standing. Market-garden Field Station, $15,000. The Legislature of 1918 reduced our request for construction at the market-garden field station by $12,000. Renewing this request we are petitioning for $4,500 to complete the green- ~ houses, and $7,500 for the construction of an administration building, to provide offices, storage for records, a small labora- _ tory to take care of the work which is to be done immediately on the grounds, a committee room, a dark room for photographic _ work, and accommodations for the heating plant for the adminis- q tration and service buildings and the foreman’s cottage. ; In addition, we request an appropriation of $2,000 to fence _ the farm area at the station, and $1,000 to install necessary irrigation equipment. . e ~ 2 4 Batic) Respectfully submitted, s i KENYON L.

If the head of the department is satisfied that the applicant has revealed special skill, or has had a satisfactory practical experience he is to recommend to the president that the applicant be admitted to take such work as may be planned by him either in the short course or the regular course, or in a combination of both. This group is called the special group. This special student group makes the fourth or fifth distinct group in College at the present time, and the campus presents a larger diversity of groups and grades of students than ever before. This situation presents real problems for those who want to see a harmonious and happy college body. No class of persons in the world is more jealous of prerogative and tradition than the typical four-year student. Some of the men in the other groups, on the other hand, are unable to appreciate this undergraduate point of view. There is there- fore a possibility of real friction in the present situation. I am glad to say, however, that thus far we have managed to live together without dissension or misunderstanding. Those who have been in charge of student affairs have handled the dangerous points with extremely good judgment and much wisdom. We are hoping that nothing will happen to spoil the excellent relations of the different groups, and to see them 46 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. crystallize into a relationship that will continue to promote good feeling and good will. I should not close this report without a sincere expression of | appreciation for the fine service rendered in the dean’s office by Prof. Charles H. Patterson during the past two years. As acting dean he was most faithful and efficient in respect to countless details, and most gentlemanly and courteous in his relationships with the students. Epwarp M. LEwis, ? Dean. Report of the Director of the Experiment Station. The greatest present problem before the Experiment Station is that of selection of fields of work. Shall the Experiment Station attempt to cover the whole field of agricultural re- search, or shall it endeavor to concentrate on a relatively few major problems, and devote all of its energies to their solution? This is a matter of institutional policy, and one which should be thoroughly studied before any radical changes are made in the existing order of things. Especially is it important that all suggestions for new lines of work be scrutinized with ref- erence to their effect on the older lines, and to the possibility of the Experiment Station being able to command sufficient resources to support both classes of activities on a compre- hensive basis. , As an aid in this suggested study, I am submitting herewith a statement showing the number of research projects now under way at the Experiment Station, classified primarily in relationship to the food problem of Massachusetts and of New England. It should be understood, however, that the number of projects at hand on a given subject is only a rough indication of the character and importance of the work being done. 4 1921.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 47 EXPERIMENT STATION PROJECTS AS RELATED 5 TO THE Foop PROBLEM.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR. President Butterfield’s Absence. In July President Butterfield was invited to become a mem- ber of a commission organized by the Board of Foreign Mis- sions of North America to study the educational needs of China. The commission, composed of a number of leading educators of America, was requested to spend from four to five months in making a comprehensive study of the educational needs of China and to prepare a report embodying its conclusions and recommendations. The President, whose vision, national leadership, and ability as an investigator have long been recog- nized, was asked to join the commission as a specialist in in- dustrial and agricultural education. Your Board granted him a leave of absence for six months, and on August 12 he left Amherst for service on this important commission. He is ex- pected to return in February, 1922. Change in Trustees. The term of Mr. Edmund Mortimer as trustee of the College expired Dec. 31, 1920. Having moved to another State, Mr. Mortimer was not eligible for reappointment, and Governor Cox chose as his successor Mr. Atherton Clark of Boston. Mr. Clark is a son of Ex-President William S. Clark, one of the early and most distinguished presidents of the College. He is a graduate of the College in the class of 1877, and a 10 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. prominent business man in Boston. He has been an active leader among the alumni, having served as president of the Associate Alumni and as chairman of the building committee which had charge of the financing and constructing of Me- morial Hall. The appointment of Mr. Clark was not only most appropriate but also most acceptable to the many friends and supporters of the College. Resignations. During the year there have been seventeen resignations from the professional staff, twenty-one from the clerical and secre- tarial staff, and three from other salaried positions. Among these resignations are those of Mr. Charles R. Green, librarian, and Robert J. Sprague, professor of economics and sociology. Mr. Green came to the College in 1908, and during his ad- ministration the library service was organized on a high plane of efficiency. The total number of books was increased four- fold. The second floor of the chapel building was recently fitted as an additional reading and study room, and has proved to be an important addition to the library facilities. The need of a new and adequate library building has been for many years, as you know, very pressing, and during the past few years the demands for such a building have increased tremen- dously. Partly because of our inability to secure a legislative appropriation for a new library, and partly because of uncer- tainty relative to salary adjustments recommended by the trustees, Mr. Green felt that it would be the part of wisdom for him to accept a position as librarian of the Jones Library, Inc., of Amherst. He gave thirteen years of excellent service to the College and will be greatly missed. J am sure he carries to his new position the best wishes of his many friends and colleagues on the faculty. Prof. Robert J. Sprague was head of the Division of the Humanities, and had served the institution since 1911. He organized the Department of Economics and Sociology, and taught practically all of the courses in that important field. — In 1920-21 he was on leave of absence to engage in educational | work at Rollins College, Florida. He has returned to that — work this year. Uncertainty as to the future here was a con- — ei? - aes. ss i) j 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. Ad tributing cause to his withdrawal also. Dr. Sprague was a helpful and inspiring teacher. He rendered a fine service and will be greatly missed by both his colleagues on the faculty and by the students. New Appointments as Department Heads. Mr. Henry S. Green has been chosen librarian to succeed Mr. Charles R. Green. Mr. Green is a graduate of Yale Uni- versity. He received the degree of LL.D. in 1900 from Bethany College; has had a long and successful teaching experience, both at Bethany College and at the University of West Vir- ginia; has served as State Librarian of West Virginia, and for the last four years has been in library work connected with the army. Enrollment of Students. In the Regular Courses. — This autumn the registration of students in work of collegiate grade is 546, an increase of 40 over 1920. The entering class numbers 162 as compared with 135 in 1920, and 125 in 1919. The number of graduate students is somewhat larger as is also the number enrolled in the sopho- more class. There are 13 special students as compared with 23 enrolled a year ago. In the four-year course there are 472 students as compared with 445 enrolled in these courses in 1920. The total number of women students has increased from 37 in 1920 to 48 in 1921; 15 of these entered with the fresh- man class. In the Two-year Course. — There is a slight increase in the enrollment of students in the two-year course. In 1920 the total was 277, and in 1921 the total is 293. It is gratifying to note that there are nearly as many students enrolled in the second year of the two-year course as entered a year ago. There are 55 students enrolled in the vocational poultry course and unit courses as compared with 69 in 1920. Of the total registration of 348, 14 are women. In the Summer School and Other Short Courses. — The Sum- mer School of 1921 brought to the College as large a number of students as was enrolled in 1920, the Summer School regis- tration being 259. The Winter School enrollment of 1920 showed a substantial reduction over that of 1919. 12 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. Disabled Soldiers as Students. — During the year the College has continued to co-operate with the Federal Board for Voca- tional Education (recently taken over by the Veteran’s Bureau) in the training of a large number of disabled soldiers and sailors desiring education in agriculture. At the close of the College year 194 men are enrolled at the College under provisions of the contract with the government; 36 of these are enrolled in courses especially organized for the Federal Board men, and the remainder are enrolled in existing courses. Total Enrollment. — The total enrollment at the present time is 894, of whom 546 are enrolled in work of college grade and 348 in the various short courses. During the year the total number of students registering at the College for one course or another, including the classes graduated in June from the four- year and two-year courses, has been approximately 1,500. Salary Increases. Following the legislative appropriation for salaries made in the spring of 1921 the trustees of the College presented a sched- ule for salary increases to the Supervisor of Administration. Some of these were in the nature of the usual normal increases, and some were in order to remedy inequalities which your Board felt had inevitably arisen from time to time in the effort to make fair adjustments between individuals. Although most of them were readily granted im toto, there was a number of these requested increases granted only in part. The result of the latter, in my judgment, was rather unfortunate, because the inequalities still remain with us, at least some of them. Due to the inability of the trustees to utilize funds available for salary increases, I am obliged to report that a substantial balance remains unexpended at the end of this fiscal year. Relationships with Other State Departments. Because of the seriousness of the situation and its potential danger to the welfare of the institution, I cannot refrain from calling attention again to the restlessness which still continues here, owing to the uncertainty and division of the final au- thority. That the trustees no longer control, as they formerly — -1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 13 did, or manage the institution, is indeed quite evident. Unless some relief can be found from the present arrangement, unless a definite and clear one replace the indefinite and divided one of the present, it does not seem possible that the morale of the College can much longer be maintained on its former high level of efficiency. Co-operation of Alumni. In his report of a year ago President Butterfield referred to the fact that the alumni were rallying to the support of the College as never before. Further evidences of this fact have accumulated during the year. Not only did an unusually large number of alumni return for the semi-centennial celebration in _ June, but the business session of the alumni held at that time was in many ways an unmistakable expression of the new and _ the intense interest in the College evidenced by the alumni _ everywhere to-day. Thorough and comprehensive reports were received from the alumni committees that during the preceding months had been considering the following vital questions: (a) the administrative policy and relations of the College; (b) the question of student life and government; and (c) the ques- - tion of the course of study. The committee dealing with the latter subject made only a partial report. During the summer and fall months this committee, of which Mr. H. J. Baker, 1911, is chairman, has devoted a large amount of time in the continuation of their inquiry among alumni and others who are in a position to make valuable contributions to this study. The final report of this committee has not yet been submitted. War History. Just prior to the June Commencement there was published the history of the “Massachusetts Agricultural College in the War,” the records for which had been compiled by the secre- tary of the College with much labor and care. The many let- ters of appreciation and commendation of this history indicate _ that the time and expense involved in its publication were _ amply justified. 14 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. Change in the College Catalogue. I wish here to call your attention to a change in the pub- lication of the College catalogue for this year and the reasons therefor. The College catalogue is desired largely by three distinct groups of readers: first, it is desired by resident students who are interested primarily in the detailed character of the courses of study; second, by prospective students and parents who are especially interested in the entrance requirements, subjects offered, and information concerning expenses, living accommo- dations, and questions relating to other phases of student life; third, by individuals and institutions that desire a complete record in permanent form of the organizations of the College and the complete list of courses offered each year. Formerly an edition of from 6,000 to 8,000 copies of the complete catalogue has been issued and has been sent to all groups alike. Believing that two of the groups could be better served otherwise, without increasing the total expense of pub- lication, the following modifications will take the place of the single complete edition of the catalogue. A relatively small edition of the complete catalogue of 1921-22 — will be published; this will be distributed to members of the faculty, to high schools, to other colleges and universities, and to any other individual or institution whose requests can be most satisfactorily met by a complete catalogue. A detailed description of the courses will be printed separately; this will be for distribution among the students. For distribution among prospective students and others inquiring about the educational advantages of the College, an abridged and illustrated catalogue will be published; this will contain certain material printed in | the catalogue, such as the requirements for admission, outline of — the course of study and general information concerning ex- penses. The pamphlet will be illustrated by interesting views — of the College buildings and campus, and the text will contain f further information designed to advise prospective students — more fully than does the usual catalogue, concerning the edu- — cational advantages and student life at the College. | & 1922.) PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 15 ; Student Labor. In 1915 the faculty committee on employment, consisting of _ Professor Sears, Professor Haskell and Treasurer Kenney di- . rected its attention to developing a system whereby, through interviewing applicants for student labor and making inquiries of their parents and others concerning their financial condition, a fairly intelligent estimate might be gained as to the men who ; should be given consideration in the assignment of work at the _ dining hall and elsewhere on the campus. Prior to this time there had been no method devised for the satisfactory distribu- _ tion of positions, and frequently students were given lucrative ~ employment who did not greatly need such assistance. At the same time a number of needy and deserving students were making great sacrifices, and, indeed, undergoing privations in order to remain in College. It not infrequently happened that a student of this type was obliged to leave College because of his inability to secure the labor which would have made it pos- sible for him to continue. The work of this committee has progressed from year to year; the task of interviewing fifty or sixty men each year and fi classifying them is in many ways a burdensome one. On the _ other hand, the results obtained seem fully to justify this nec- essary expenditure of valuable time. The secretary of the _ committee has made an analysis of the amounts earned by _ students during the last College year, and a summary of this » study is here given: — Student Labor, September, 1920, to June, 1921.

The trustees asked for special appropriations in the budget of the year for several items, including a chemistry building. An appropriation for this building was favored by the Super- visor of Administration, the joint committee on ways and means, and the House of Representatives. The Senate, how- ever, voted to eliminate this from the budget. The only special appropriations granted, therefore, were $25,000 for improve- ments and equipment and $10,000 for the administration build- ing at the Market-Garden Field Station. For details of the budget, I would call your attention to the budget on page 74. On account of our failure to get the special appropriations requested, and also on account of the sum allowed for improve- ‘ments and new equipment, the building operations during the year have been on a minimum basis. The principal improve- ment was a small addition to the barn for the housing of live stock. The administration building at the Market-Garden Field Station has been completed. Memorial Hall. Formal recognition should here be made of the gift to the College of the beautiful Memorial Hall erected by the students, alumni, faculty and friends of the College, which was completed — and dedicated in June. The building has been transferred to ‘ the trustees by the following deed of gift: — i BS 1922)) PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 17 This indenture, made this day of nineteen hundred and twenty-one, between the Associate Alumni of the Massa- chusetts Agricultural College, a corporation duly organized (hereinafter called ‘‘the donor’’), and the Commonwealth of Massachuse.ts, by trustees of the State institution, the Massachusetts Agricultural College, acting under and by virtue of chapter 262 of the General Acts of 1918 (hereinafter called ‘‘the board of trustees’’), Witnesseth: In consideration of the high regard and feelings of gratitude which ihe members of the said corporation bear towards said College, and as a memorial to the graduates and students of the College who gave their lives in the struggle for democracy in the World War, and in further consideration of one dollar and other valuable considerations paid by the board of trustees, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, the donor does hereby give, grant, bargain, sell and convey unto the said board of trustees, its successors and assigns, a certain memorial building on the land of the Massachusetts Agricultural College situated in Amherst, in the county of Hampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The said building to be donated complete and free from all encumbrances. ‘This indenture is made upon the following terms and conditions: That the board of trustees will accept and maintain the said memorial building in a proper and usable condition for student activities, subject to the rules and regulations of said board, as provided for in the agreement between the donor and said board of trustees appearing in the records _ of the donor June 19, 1920, and in the records of said board of trustees, January 7, 1921, creating the Board of Management of Memorial Hall, and will insure and keep insured the said memorial building from loss or damage by fire.

Departments of Undergraduate Instruction. Although still somewhat handicapped by the. unsettled con- ditions incident to the necessary reconstruction due to the war, I am glad to say that a reasonable degree of stability has been reached in all departments of the institution. On the other hand, practically every department is suffering from the loss of valuable and experienced teachers who have, during the past three years, resigned to accept more attractive positions else- where. Some positions long vacant have been filled during the year. In general, it may be said that the large numbers of two-year students have resulted in the further crowding of quarters, in many cases already insufficient for four-year men. Many departments are also handicapped by limited equipment and by inadequately trained teachers. All expansion in personnel during the past two years has been limited to the addition of a few instructors in the Divi- sions of Agriculture and Horticulture. | Library. Little can be said concerning the work of the library for the past year other than has been reported in former years. ‘The fitting up of the second floor of the library building for reading room purposes has added somewhat to the facilities for study | at the library. The library, however, is still most inadequate and unsatisfactory from the standpoint of economy in operation and its use as an educational center for the entire student body. Students and faculty alike feel very keenly the inadequacy of these facilities, and realize the hopelessness of securing satisfac- tory results from the library so long as existing conditions continue. Infirmary. — Dr. Marshall, who has general charge of the infirmary, calls attention to the additional problems confronting the institution with respect to proper accommodations for the sick because of the large number of students which we now have, and also be- cause of the fact that women are attending the College in | larger numbers than formerly. A suitable infirmary which will ~ provide accommodations for both men and women students | seems imperative. 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 19 Department of Physical Education. The work of the Department of Physical Education has con- tinued along the lines already established. The department is now well equipped with respect to instructors, but because we have no gymnasium no indoor work in physical education can be undertaken other than that made possible by basketball. Department of Military Science and Tactics. The introduction of the cavalry unit for the R. O. T. C., seems to have been a wise and helpful move. While military drill at this institution cannot now be said to be popular with the students, it is less objectionable than during the past year or two. The number of men electing the advanced work in military drill is small. This number is likely to increase, how- ever, as the natural prejudice against military training now shared by the country at large wears away and the advantages of the instruction becomes clearer to our students. During the year Col. Richard W. Walker, who for two years had been the Commandant in charge of our military instruction, was transferred to another post, and his position here has been filled by Maj. Frederick E. Shnyder. Associated with Maj. Shnyder are Maj. Herman Kobbe, Capt. Thomas Brady and Capt. James V. V. Shufelt. Semi-Centennial and Commencement. The celebration of the Semi-Centennial of the College ex- tended from July, 1920, until June, 1921.

[Feb. alumni and former students ever gathered together at one time. The dedication of the Memorial Hall constituted the principal feature of the program. All the meetings and functions were well attended, and the prevailing opinion was that the fiftieth anniversary of the graduation of the first class of the College, as well as the half century of service by the institution in the interest of agriculture and rural life in the State and Nation, was fittingly and appropriately observed. On Commencement Day the degree of Bachelor of Science was conferred upon ninety-two men and three women; the de- gree of Master of Science upon three men; and the degree of Doctor of Philosophy upon one man. The Market-Garden Field Station. An increased interest in the work of the Market-Garden Field Station, noted by more visits from market gardeners than in 1920; 600 people in attendance at the annual Field Day on August 3, and a continuous series of requests from various sec- tions of the State and other States as to the progress of the work, all give reason to believe that real service is being ren- dered to vegetable-growing interests. | The interest and co-operation on the part of the county agents throughout the State has been exceedingly gratifying and help- ful in extending the work of the Market-Garden Field Station. Projects under way were indicated in the last report to the President. To these can be added: — 1. A special study of the new annual sweet clover known as “Hubam,” to learn its value as a soil improvement crop ~ the market vegetable grower. 2. The study being made of Washington asparagus, accepted as the best variety known. The work of vegetable seed production to stress the oppor- tunity and prove the value of home-grown seed has been of particular interest and value.. | The Administration Building, for which an apptopiiainen was made by the Legislature of 1921, has been completed. The completion of this building finishes the original program for construction as drafted in 1915. No major construction is con- templated for the future. beaks. 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No.:31. 25 A request has been made for a vegetable storage building to cost about $2,000, and for fencing to cost about the same amount. The latter is most pressing, for trespassing renders some of the experimental work of little value. _ Splendid co-operation has been received from various depart- ments of the College. Work along insect control lines has been badly handicapped due to lack of funds. The work of plant disease control investigation has made good progress. The best progress of the work awaits needed assistance in both the experimental and extension fields. The Mount Toby Demonstration Forest. The Mount Toby Demonstration Forest was acquired to _ serve as a laboratory for the field work of forestry students in the College, and to exemplify, for all who might be interested, the various practices. of forestry. _ The forest is most admirably suited to its purpose. Owing to marked variations in soil, exposure, and elevation, it con- tains within its 750 acres a wide representation of common New England forest types, — white pine, hemlock, hardwoods, and varying mixtures of these. And owing to its very favorable location with respect to markets, its products can be disposed of in large or small quantities down to the last limb. Further- more, the commanding view from the mountain top and the unspoiled attractiveness of the countryside around have made _ Mount Toby for many years a pleasure ground for out-of-door _ people, who are thus brought within reach of its forestry les- _ sons; and the steel fire lookout tower soon to be set up on the - summit will bring it still closer to the public. The Forestry Department of the College, in taking charge of _ the forest, was faced at the outset with the heavy damage caused by the chestnut blight, and this damage has been until afew months ago the dominant and determining factor in the _ Management. The forest contained not only several fine blocks of pure chestnut, but a great many scattered specimens in mix- ture with other species; and all were doomed by the disease, _ for which no remedy has anywhere been found. Year after year _ all available funds have had to be concentrated on salvaging 26 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. (Feb. dying chestnut, in the form of telephone poles, ties, fence-posts, lumber, and cordwood. The past year has seen practically the last of the chestnut removed. During the year (1921) there have been cut over 700 telephone poles, 35,000 feet of chestnut plank, and corre- sponding quantities of smaller chestnut products. With these out of the way it has been possible for the first time to turn to forestry in the ordinarily accepted sense of the word, and to accomplish some tasks that had long been awaiting their turn. The first of these tasks was a cutting in the pine belt at the foot of the mountain, which removed all pines that were dying or just dead through competition with more vigorous neighbor- ing pines. This operation, without reducing the growing stock, yielded 100,000 board feet at a clear profit of $6 per thousand, together with 50 cords of limbwood at a clear profit of 25 cents. a cord. ‘The second of these jobs was the clearing of gray birch from a 12-acre area, to release a fine undergrowth of pine that. would otherwise have died out. The yield was about 100 cords — of wood at a net return of around 50 cents a cord; and there was left a splendid young stand of pine freed for vigorous. growth. Similar release cuttings have been applied to 10 other scattered acres that were in like need, with similar promise of pure pine stands where there would otherwise have been only a short-lived growth of inferior hardwood; also a block of young pine has been thinned and pruned. These cuttings are of just — the sort that should be carried out in woodlots throughout the State, and that seldom are. The costs, returns, and methods are accurately known and recorded, and the results are plainly to be seen. Thus a definite step has been taken toward making the forest a demonstration area of immediate practical value. In addition to the cuttings just described, considerable work has been done in road maintenance and fire protection. ‘The interior roads have been improved by the blasting of ledges, by grading and filling with gravel, and by the building of cul- verts and six substantial bridges at brook crossings. A 50-foot strip each side of the main interior roads has been cleared of inflammable material, and a 6-foot strip has been similarly cleared around the entire bounds of the property, to make it. easier to keep fire out. | 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 27 It will probably take a year more to put the forest in first- class condition. The several miles of interior roads must be cleared and drained; the shattered down timber must be sal- vaged where possible or lopped in the tops so that it may soon decay; old accumulations of slash must be burned; overdense stands must be thinned, weed-trees removed, and open places planted up; old fire lines must be widened, and new ones con- structed, with boxes of fire-fighting tools placed at strategic points; and the whole property must be carefully remapped, estimated, and divided into clearly marked areal units for pur- poses of administration and record keeping. With these preliminaries attended to, the main work on the forest will be devoted first to the gradual replacement of in- ferior species with more desirable ones, and then to the cutting year by year of just so much as can be taken without diminish- ing the total productivity, each harvest to be so managed that a satisfactory new crop shall succeed the old. This work may be conducted in such a way as to produce not only an annual cut of lumber, but an annual yield of scientific and practical knowledge gained from careful experiments in the introduction of new species and in the application of varying methods of planting, tending, and reproducing the forest crop. And all the while the forest may illustrate the helpful relation of pub- licly owned forest land to the surrounding community, both by providing a recreation ground and by offering winter work for farm labor in the slack season and stabilizing local wood- using industries with a steady and reliable supply of raw materials. The soundest progress of forestry is thought by competent opinion to lie in the direction of small, widely dis- tributed town, city, and State forests. In this progress Mount Toby is particularly well situated to point the way. 28 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, "eb: LEGISLATIVE BUDGET, 1922. For Permanent Improvements. Chemistry Laboratory and Equipment, $350,000. — This is the third time that this structure has been asked for, and it has been under discussion for many years. In 1918 the Commis- sion on the Investigation of Agricultural Education reported: “An adequate chemistry laboratory is equally needed. The present chemistry building is one of the oldest, most dilapi- dated and most unsuitable buildings on the campus.” Chem- istry is a subject required of every student because it is fun- damental in all agricultural work. For the same reason the research work in chemistry demands more space than does any other single branch of investigation. It is estimated that it will require. an appropriation of $350,000 to build and equip a build- ing that will be at all adequate to meet the situation. How- ever, not more than one-third of this amount will be needed during the present fiscal year. Improvements at Power Plant, $80,000.—'The appropriation here requested is to provide for an ash storage bin and for two additional boilers and stokers for the power plant. In order to meet the constantly increasing demand upon the steam boilers, to replace present boilers, some of which are eighteen years old, and to maintain a minimum reserve of boiler ca- pacity for use in case of emergency, our engineer considers it necessary to install two 406-horsepower boilers equipped with stokers. The cost of these items is estimated to be $35,000. A stoker should be installed in connection with a 200-horse- power boiler already used. The necessary cost of setting these boilers, piping, flue work and other necessary repairs and im- provements incident to this installation amounts to approxi- mately $69,000. Laboratory for Horticultural Manujactures, $50,000. — 'The im- portance of utilizing various by-products of the farm which formerly were wasted, such as fruit and vegetables, was empha- sized during the war, and under the direction of Prof. W. W. Chenoweth of this institution farmers came to see whereby this saving could to advantage be made permanent. In order to adequately give instruction in the preservation of fruit and 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 29 _ vegetable products, a new laboratory building is essential. The plans provide for a one-story building of inexpensive construc- tion, which will furnish laboratories for the various phases of this work. Improvements at Tillson Farm, $5,000.— For a number of years the institution has been developing important research work in connection with poultry husbandry, and it is apparent that valuable results may be obtained by the continuation and expansion of these projects. It is desirable that this experi- mental work be done at an isolated place. The college owns a farm of about 70 acres located some distance from the main area, and it is proposed to develop this farm as an experimental poultry plant. It will be necessary to build laying houses, a breeding house, an incubator cellar, a feed room and a barn. Considerable fencing must also be done. The total cost will be slightly in excess of $11,000, but it is thought that $5,000 will be adequate for the initial work. Macadam Road, $8,000. — There is no first-class macadam road anywhere on the campus. There are two main approaches to the campus which have heavy traffic by sightseers as well as others. The total length of the main drives on the west campus is approximately one mile. All the coal used by the institution is brought in from the railroad stations, chiefly by automobile truck. That portion of the road which is used for _ this purpose should be macadamized at once. The distance is approximately 1,750 feet and the estimated cost is $8,000. Purchase of Brooks Farm, $20,000. — The erection of certain buildings on the campus during the past twenty years has made a serious encroachment on the field plots used by the Experi- ment Station. Immediately adjoining the college estate on the north is a farm, the soil of which is a continuation of that now used for Experiment Station purposes. The area comprises _ 60 acres, and farm buildings. In a recent appraisal by three competent judges $21,400 was agreed upon as a fair price for this property. This land is now very urgently needed for the purpose indicated, and, looking into the future, it seems abso- _ lutely essential that it be available for experimental purposes. 30 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. IS THE COLLEGE ABANDONING AGRICULTURE ? The remainder of this report is an effort to answer as briefly as possible the oft-repeated charge that the College has strayed away from its original purpose and has quite neglected instruc- tion in agriculture. This charge can be easily and completely disproved by any one who will make a thorough and impartial investigation of the facts. Indeed, it can be shown conclu- sively that agricultural instruction is stressed more by far to-day than ever before, and that the College has less the char- acter of a State college or university than at any time in all its history. It is my purpose to bring some convincing data bear- ‘Ing upon these points to your attention. The fundamental mistake usually made by those who make this charge is the assumption that these colleges were estab- lished for the sole purpose of training boys to become practical farmers and nothing else. Another wrong assumption is that such a narrow purpose was controlling in the minds of those who administered the work of the College in the past as com- pared with those who are now administering it. Both assump- tions have no basis in fact. The facts clearly prove that the idea of a liberal education was originally linked closely with the idea of a technical and scientific training; indeed, a liberal education, based on science, was the basic idea. There was never a thought of a training for a single vocation or a single phase of a vocation in the minds of the statesmen who founded the land-grant institutions. Moreover, the facts prove that a practical and technical train- ing has been increasingly stressed as against the earlier emphasis upon a general scientific education, and that there is taught to-day a maximum of practical and technical subjects as against a minimum of scientific and general subjects in the agricultural colleges. The agricultural colleges, as you know, were established as the result of the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862. That act provided for “the endowment, support and maintenance of at least one college where the leading object shall be, without ex- cluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are re- 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 31 lated to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the legislatures of the states may respectively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the in- dustrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life.” It is not necessary to comment on the breadth of this lan- guage except to call attention to the fact that it is far, very _ far, removed from the thought of a college to train boys to be- come farmers and nothing else. This act was amended through Mr. Morrill’s efforts in 1890 to the effect that $25,000 should be granted to each State “to be applied only to instruction in agriculture, the mechanic arts, the English language and the various branches of mathe- matical, physical, natural, and economic science, with special reference to their applications in the industries of life and to the facilities for such instruction.” This amendment narrows the use of the appropriation only to certain subjects, namely, agriculture, English, and applied science. Note that applied science included economic science as far back as thirty years ago. On these two legislative acts these institutions were based, and the condensed form of them is now printed in the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in these words: “The leading object of the college shall be to teach subjects relating to agriculture and the mechanic arts, so as to promote liberal and practical education. Its curriculum may include _ other scientific and classical studies and shall include military tactics.” That is the exact legal language that at this moment in this State defines the purpose of the College; that is, therefore, the definition of purpose that should control all who have a share in guiding its policies and administering its details. Surely no one conversant with the meaning of such language can possibly say these colleges were meant to be merely vocational schools and nothing more. No one in authority anywhere has so in- terpreted them. Higher institutions, founded upon a _ high school training, would not be needed to carry out so simple and narrow a purpose as is in the minds of some of our critics. What was Senator Morrill’s interpretation of this language? What did he have in mind when he championed this project 32 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. in his earlier and later legislative experience? In discussing the subject before the lower House, Mr. Morrill said: — It proposed to establish at least one college in every State, upon a sure and perpetual foundation, accessible to all, but especially to the sons of toil, where all the needful sciences for the practical vocations of life shall be taught; where neither the higher graces of the classical studies, nor the military drill of our country now so greatly appreciated, will be entirely ignored, and where agriculture, the foundation of all present and future prosperity, may look for troops of earnest friends, studying its familiar and recondite economics, and at last elevating it to a higher level, where it may fearlessly invoke comparison with the most advanced standard of the world. In 1872, ten years after the passage of the Land Grant Act, he further said in a debate in the Senate that — It was a misnomer to call the institutions ‘‘agricultural colleges;”’ they were schools for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts, whose purpose, as he subsequently explained, was to provide a broad education, intended to be sure to reach the agriculturist and to reach all our nciutrel classes. And in 1890, twenty-eight years after the passage of the act, he said: — The most advanced studies were not, it will be remembered, to be excluded from these colleges, and whenever provided with sufficient — resources they should be ready to offer all the learning demanded by any portion of the American people, and yet they must not fall short in the branches related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, but must lead in the highest instruction asked for by the industrial classes. What were the interpretations, or points of view, of the ex- i ecutive heads of M. A. C. concerning the purpose of the College as expressed in the Morrill Land Grant Act? I shall let them speak for themselves. In the catalogue of 1867, the year of the first entering spe we find President Chadbourne writing thus: — The object aimed at in the instruction is, first, to make intelligent, thoroughly educated men; and secondly, to make practical agriculturists. | This is demanded by the law of Congress donating the lands, which © 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 33 declares the purpose to be, “‘to promote the liberal and practical educa- tion of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life.” It is difficult to see how an agricultural education alone would meet the requirements of this law if such an education were desirable. But any system that attempts to give practical knowledge without first having given a broad scientific basis will succeed only in making skillful artisans, and will not send forth men fitted to improve themselves, or add materially to the advancement of knowledge. It is proposed that, for the present, at least, the instruction shall con- sist of two courses; a special course of lectures, exclusively agricultural, to be given every winter, and also a regular four-year course of study that shall give a truly liberal education, — a basis for the active duties of life, which any citizen of a free republic may be called upon to engage in. The College will thus offer the advantages of a professional school in agriculture, and an educational course differing from that in the other colleges of the State, but no less extensive and thorough in its require- ments. Undoubtedly there is a difference of opinion as to what the College should be. In reference to some of our best institutions that have been established for more than a century, there is a marked difference of opinion among their alumni and officers as to the most desirable organiza- tion for them now to meet the demands of the present time. As no one can claim to have experience in conducting such an institution as this, it would seem to be the wisest way for all well-wishers of the College to: go on as best they can in the light of experience gained in the general. work of education, and be ready to adopt such changes as the practical. working of the institution shall show to be necessary. The fear is expressed by some that, if an attempt is made to give a. truly liberal education, the students will turn aside from agriculture to. other pursuits. Undoubtedly some of them will. If such an education. is given in practical science as ought to be given in such an institution,. _ there will be a demand for its students as teachers and in other professions.. And it would be an education entirely unworthy of Massachusetts, and contrary to the plain intent of the act of Congress donating the land, if _ it were so meager in its requirements that the students should be fitted. only for one pursuit in life. No surer way could be devised to defeat the very end for which the College was established, than to conduct it on a plan which proclaimed, in theory and practice, that its students. were to be kept in ignorance of certain things lest they should be above. their calling. No institution can ever succeed on such a plan, and ought not to. It is difficult to see what a student would enter such an institu-- tion for. Such views are repugnant to every generous feeling which an educated man ought to possess, contrary to the principles of our institu-- tions, and are not sustained by the present position of the agriculturists. of this State. The adoption of such a system would be simply saying to. the farmers of Massachusetts that they are tillers of the soil because they 34 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. are too ignorant for other pursuits. An entirely different principle has been acted upon in organizing the College. While the student is to be educated, agriculture, which rests upon a knowledge of all the natural sciences, is to be made a means of education. It ought to be so presented that it shall be an inviting pursuit for an educated man. When all its processes are scientifically understood, it will be difficult to point to any business or profession that offers a field of thought more desirable. The four-year course of study for the first class entering M. A. C. was as follows for the freshman year: — First Term. — Algebra; English Language; Human Anatomy; Botany. Lectures on the Preservation of Health and Methods of Study. Second Term. — Geometry; Drawing; French; General Chemistry and Mineralogy. (Recitations and lectures.) Third Term. — Geometry; Drawing; French; General Zoélogy; Botan- ical Analysis. Members of the Freshman Class will be allowed to attend at least one lecture daily of the special course on Agriculture, in such departments as the Faculty shall determine. And as follows for the senior year: — First Term. — Civil Polity; Intellectual Philosophy; Economic Ge- ology and Mining. Lectures; Law relating to Rural Affairs. Second Term. — Moral Philosophy; Logic; Aisthetics; English Litera- ture. Lectures; Architecture. Third Term. — Special subjects; Reviews. Seniors attend any lectures of the course. Military Tactics; Declama- tions; Discussions and Themes during the whole course. I omit the sophomore and junior years for lack of space merely. | In 1871 President Clark’s report includes the éStlowe state- 1 ment: — The instruction in the languages is intended to qualify the graduates — to write and speak English with correctness and effect, and to translate — French and German with facility. The scientific course is extensive and : thorough, and as practical as possible. Every student has the opportunity — of becoming a good chemist, a skillful surveyor, and a civil engineer. At ? the same time, every science is taught with constant reference to its — applications to agriculture and the wants of the farmer. 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 35 In 1874 President Clark further said: — It is the earnest desire of the trustees and faculty that the College shall especially promote the agricultural interests of the Commonwealth, but it may be well to remind those who demand that every graduate shall be a farmer, that the act of incorporation passed by the Legislature of 1863 does not intimate that the accomplishment of this result is the mission of the institution. The language is as follows: ‘the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life.”’ It should therefore be distinctly understood that, while the most effort and the largest expense have been bestowed upon the agricultural de- partment, the authorities of the College do not propose to require its graduates to engage in any particular business for life. The opportunity for acquiring a valuable education is offered to all the young men of the country, and if the farmers desire to have their sons trained in the best manner to pursue intelligently the profession of their fathers, let them patronize the College. If, however, there are others who wish to have their sons enjoy the advantages of scientific and literary culture under circumstances calculated to interest them in practical affairs, and to prepare them for a life of industry and usefulness, they have equal rights with the farmers, and shall have equally cordial welcome. In 1883 President Chadbourne again writes: — The course of study has been so far modified as to introduce more instruction in the structure of the English language, rhetoric and history. The study of French and German heretofore required has been made optional, and the time of recitations so arranged that each student can study both languages if he so elects. The work of the College has been most efficiently done. The improve- ment of the students in their studies and in that good order and gentle- manly deportment so desirable in college, has been highly satisfactory. It is plainly evident that the people of the State, as a whole, have not understood the provisions here made for the education of the young men of Massachusetts. When committees from the Legislature and others have visited the institution and become acquainted with its organization, ‘its means of instruction, and its actual work, the College has proved its own best advocate. To make the College and its work better known to all the people of the State, we ask a careful consideration of the course of study and of the reports of various departments. We also feel justified in once more calling the attention of the Legislature and the people of the State to the founding and organization of this institution as well as its present condition. 36 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. The grant of land and land-scrip for founding agricultural colleges was made by the general government in 1862. The Civil War had brought out with great clearness the elements of national strength, — varied production in agriculture and the mechanic arts, and a citizen soldiery well trained in the art of war. To secure all these in their greatest per- fection was the aim of the bill for establishing “industrial colleges” in the various loyal States. Whatever mistakes may have been made in the organization and management of these institutions, no fault can be charged home to the original bill. It was evidently a wise measure, and suggested an outline of organization and management that has not as yet been improved upon. Its significant words are as follows: ‘‘The endowment, support and maintenance of at least one college where the leading object shall be, without excluding scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanical arts, in such manner as the Legislatures of the States may respectively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life.” No branch of learning pe- culiar to the old colleges was to be necessarily excluded; but the new colleges were to push on to the practical application of the sciences they taught, and they were to train all their students as defenders of their country against domestic rebellion or foreign invasion. In a word, they were to educate their students as men and as American citizens. The rank of the education given is liberal, the term applied to the education given by the highest institutions then known. It was to be so broad as to fit men for the “several pursuits and professions of life.” The object of these colleges was to obliterate the supposed superiority of the so-called “learned professions” by securing a “‘liberal,” that is, the highest, educa- tion for those who chose industrial pursuits, thus lifting agriculture and — the mechanic arts from the plane of mere routine labor to the dignity of learned professions, founded upon scientific knowledge and allied to, or connected with, those branches of learning essential for a broad and generous culture of the whole man. Many who have attempted the management of these colleges, as well as many who have criticised them, have apparently overlooked the broad and generous plan upon which | they were founded. It is doubtful if they will ever accomplish the great work for which they were intended, until their original purpose is so fully and constantly recognized and carried out by judicious, painstaking — work that the currents of education shall be once fairly turned toward — these new channels. When once fairly turned, that they will continue — to flow can no more be doubted than we can doubt the success of any natural process when not artificially obstructed. An education that ‘gives boys what they need to daily use when they become men” com-_ mends itself as rational and practical. All true education should aim — at this. And this certainly is the idea that is embodied in the bill found- — ing the industrial colleges of the several States. The provisions of this iy fd | ) . 4 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. Oo” bill were accepted by Massachusetts. One-third of the funds received from the United States was given to the Institute of Technology in Boston for the promotion of the mechanic arts, and two-thirds were devoted to founding a college at Amherst for the special work of agriculture. By the gift to the Institute of Technology, the Agricultural College has _ been freed from much labor in building up a mechanical department, — a fact that has been lost sight of by some, — and is left free to carry out the idea of a college making agriculture the leading idea, while it secures rigid training in military tactics and provides such a range of studies in science, literature, and philosophy, as shall, in the words of the bill, promote ‘‘liberal education.” The course of study aims to do what the original bill declared should be done, — give a practical knowledge of agriculture and horticulture, and at the same time so educate the man that the students from the Agricultural College shall not be mere artisans, having learned a trade or business and nothing more, but be liberally educated, so that, as farmers, they shall rank in intellectual training with those who choose what have heretofore been called the ‘‘learned professions.” It is plain that farming will never take its true place, nor farmers have the influence, in the government of our land which they ought to have until they take their place with those in other professions, not only as men of power and practical ability, but as men of learning and culture. Those who claim that the farmer’s life forbids this result have never yet fully appreciated _ the farm as a place for study and thought, as well as a place for labor. ~The course of study in 1884 was divided into two parts which were as follows: — Course of Study and Training, January, 1884.

Add the mathematics and drawing, 784, to this total and you have 2,205, or one-third of the whole. The remainder, you will note (with the exception of military drill) is pure and applied science. The foregoing excerpts and data clearly reveal the drift of the discussion and its results during the first thirty years of the life of the College. They are typical, not exceptional; they tell the whole story. There was clearly conceived no nar- row or limited vocational aim. ‘These men considered it their business to educate as well as to train; to attend to the man as well as to the job. The catalogues for years openly an- nounced that “the College offers a free education to any Ameri- - can student of good character who may fulfill the requirements _ for admission.” In 1905-06, at the close of President Goodell’s administration, the curriculum shows no marked change in content over that of 1898. We find that of the 160 semester credits required for _ graduation, every student was forced to take 16 credits in Eng- lish, 9 credits in French, 7 credits in German and 8 credits in 40 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. history, economics, and government, or a total of 39. At the same time, he was compelled to take only 14 in what the critic would term practical agricultural subjects. In other words, every student had to spend one-quarter of his time in cultural subjects (one-tenth in English, one-tenth in German and French, and one-twentieth in history, etc.), and only one-eleventh in all practical agricultural subjects. These figures express the minimum required of every student. On the other hand, the most that he could possibly take by election in purely cultural subjects was 51 credits, and the most he could possibly take in practical subjects was 43. This was the absolute maximum possible offered in 1905-06, the year before President Butter- field took charge. In that year, let it be noted, Latin was offered as a four-hour credit for the senior year, — yes, Latin. I would gladly invite any one to make a careful comparison of the curriculum of 1905-06 with the curriculum of the present day. He will now find no Latin (to his surprise, probably), only one-half as much English, less than one-half as much for- eign language, only one professor teaching economics and goy- ernment, and only one-tenth of a student’s total time required in “other-than-agricultural” studies. He would find no justi- fication whatever, therefore, for saying that the College had “expanded away from” agriculture, or towards a so-called State university, during the past fifteen years. - In 1911 President Butterfield defined the purpose of the Col- lege in the following terms: — The chief purpose of the College is to prepare men and women for the agricultural vocations. In this statement the term ‘agricultural’ is used in the broadest sense. Courses are offered which give efficiency in various practical pursuits, such as general farming, landscape gardening, forestry and arboriculture. Students also qualify for positions in insti- tutions designed for investigation in the many sciences underlying the great agricultural industry, for teaching in agricultural colleges and high schools, and for business occupations having connection with the farm and needing expert service. Contrast this statement with any definition of purpose to be found in any previous report and let him who can say that it is relatively broad. The fact is that it is comparatively — 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 41 narrow, and marks a decided change only in stressing the prac- tical and vocational aims of the College. | In 1917 Governor Samuel W. McCall appointed a commis- sion to investigate the College. This commission consisted of Ex-President Clark L. Seelye of Smith College, Northampton, Commissioner of Education Payson Smith, Supervisor of Ad- ministration Charles E. Burbank, Mr. William Whiting of. Holyoke, a business man vitally interested in farming, and Mr. Warren Jewett of Worcester, an eminently practical and suc- cessful farmer. This commission made a full and unanimous report which was highly creditable to the College. In regard to the curriculum this report said: — The land-grant colleges were primarily established to promote the study of agriculture by the most advanced and scientific methods of instruction. In their courses of study one naturally expects that science will occupy the most prominent place, and that it should be taught by men well qualified for their work. The Massachusetts Agricultural College meets this expectation. There are at present 228 courses in agriculture and the cognate sciences, and only 96 courses in mathematics and the so-called humanities. In the first year 48 courses are given in agriculture and mathematics, and only 18 in the humanities. In the second year 6 courses are required in the humanities, and 54 in agriculture and cognate sciences. After the second year a major course can be elected in one of 17 departments; during the last year 75 per cent of the students elected major courses in agriculture and horticulture. There is no major course in the humanities, and only one-quarter of the student’s time is required! in these studies. Three quarters of the students are giving three-fourths of their time to dis- tinctively agricultural subjects. Ten times as many courses are given in junior and senior years in agriculture as were given ten years ago, and more agricultural studies have been introduced in the first and second years than ever before. ? | There has been no corresponding increase in humanistic studies. Of the faculty 54 teachers are engaged in instruction in agriculture and the _ cognate sciences, and 14 teachers in the humanities and mathematics. Members of the faculty and representative students alike testify that there is a prevailing tendency among the undergraduates to elect studies ac- cording to their supposed commercial values, and to neglect those studies which aim to strengthen and cultivate the mind. While there is a fair _ showing of humanistic electives in the curriculum, most of them are 1 This is an error; only one-tenth is actually required. ? This paragraph is evidently based on term courses offered, and does not differentiate between separate and continuing courses. 42 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. not required as they are in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in other colleges, and only a few of the students elect them. While the State in its acceptance of the provisions of the Morrill Act is bound to give special instruction in agriculture, it is not less bound by the language of the act to give a liberal education as an integral part of its distinctive work, and not to neglect or relegate to subordinate places those studies which experience has shown are best fitted to nourish and strengthen the faculties of the mind and which will enable men to do better work, whatever that work may be. In closing, I cannot refrain from quoting the following para- graph from the report of the committee on agriculture of the State Grange presented in Springfield at the annual meeting last month: — We earnestly desire to see our Agricultural College maintain its posi- tion as one of the leading agricultural colleges in America. We believe that the courses of instruction should be as thorough, as broad and as liberal as those of any other college on the ground that the farmer desires as good an education as any other citizen. We especially protest against the tendency in certain quarters to restrict the teaching of such subjects — as science, history, economics, etc.,— subjects which are of vital im- portance to the agricultural industry and to life on the farm. I cannot refrain, either, from expressing a personal opinion to the effect that in order to deal fairly with the boys of Massa- chusetts who will hereafter attend the College we must give them not less but more of those subjects that prepare for life and citizenship. The meager amount we now require is nothing short of tragic. No one will contend that one-tenth of a boy’s time during the four precious years of college is sufficient for his education as a citizen and as a man. Yet that is all that a large number of our students receive to-day. Will any one say we are not sacrificing the man on the job for the job; — “the man on the farm,” as Emerson said, “for the farmer’’? Does not the practical result of our present curriculum “carry us away” from the real educational intent of the Morrill Land Grant Act? I believe it does, and I believe further, that, with- — out losing one iota of the excellent “practical” content which ~ is now included in the curriculum, it is our immediate and im- — perative duty to march swiftly forward and give a sound educa- — " 1922. PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 43 4 » - = tion as well as a good vocational training to every one of our students. | | In this brief discussion I think I have shown conclusively that there is no truth whatever in the assertion that the College __ has abandoned agriculture and magnified “other things.” The _ truth is there is more agriculture taught to-day than ever before, and less, at least 50 per cent less, of “other things” required than ever before. EDWARD MORGAN LEWIS, Acting President. 44 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. REPORTS OF OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS. Report of the Dean. The duties of the dean’s office this year have been divided between myself and Assistant Dean Machmer. Professor Machmer has had charge of the scholarship of the freshman class, of the dean’s Saturday reports, of the meetings of freshman and sophomore class teachers, and of a good part of the difficult and time-consuming matter of absences and ex- cuses. This work he carried on admirably, together with the innumerable personal conferences necessary to keep the boys up to their work by encouragement and sympathy. My work was concerned with the other classes, with dis- ciplinary matters, and with the reviewing of the bothersome and delinquent cases. A large amount of time also was spent in consideration of the course of study and of such matters as the admission of superior graduates of county agricultural schools and of agricultural departments of high schools. Since Christmas, 1920, I have kept office hours at the rooms of the Department of Education, State House, Boston, every Thurs- day. In the mornings I have frequently addressed high school assemblies in regard to the opportunities in agriculture and the work of the College. Sixteen high schools were visited in this way. The office hours were usually quite busy with callers of all descriptions. I was able to give first-hand information to a large number who would have had either to travel to Am- herst or to correspond back and ‘forth at some length with us at Amherst. I believe this experiment justifies the practice. Indeed, it is quite necessary in order to have the College tie up effectively with the Department of Education. There are questions of adjustment and policy arising constantly which make a per- sonal interview most desirable. I believe that as the Boston arrangement is more generally known it will save a great deal 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 45 of correspondence and make it possible for us to explain mat- ters to an increasing number of people in a much more satisfac- tory way than by letter. During the past year we lost the faithful services of Mrs. Mary I. Shores who had been our chief clerk for seven years. Her loss was a great one to the work of our office, for she took care of the innumerable details with great fidelity and had learned to handle the students in-a friendly and sympathetic way. Many letters of sympathy came to us from former stu- dents in regard to their appreciation of Mrs. Shores. She was ever faithful, ever cheerful, and radiated good-will and a spirit of service wherever she happened to be. It will be difficult to find any one to take her place. During the past year, also, the dean’s office tried to carry some of the work of the registrar’s office during the absence of Professor Hasbrouck. Much of this burden was carried gladly and efficiently by Professor Machmer. It necessarily added a real burden to one who was already carrying a good share of the work -of the dean’s office. I feel that the important work of absences and of the scholar- ship of the two lower classes is now in good hands. With the help of student advisers of his choice Professor Machmer will keep the work of the average student well supervised. I hardly know how this important administrative problem can be better met unless we are ready to spend more money in salaries for special supervisors. The work of next year should be still stronger in this respect, and more of the boys saved from the results of carelessness and discouragement. In regard to this work I beg leave to incorporate in my re- port a few paragraphs from the assistant dean’s report to me. This year I had associated with me in this work (that of freshmen advisers) Professors Parker and Rand. Both these men did very cred- itable service in spite of the fact that they were at the same time carrying heavy teaching schedules. The work requires tact, patience, and sympathy, and cannot be reduced to a simple formula or set of rules. Students must be dealt with indi- vidually, for the most part. The adviser must be sought after because he is trustworthy, resourceful, and helpful. His work ought to grow more effective and valuable with each class he fathers. I believe this advisory work very much worth while, and hope the time is near at 46 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. hand when the personnel of the freshman advisers will be less subject to change. The scholarship situation is still unsatisfactory. While the number of failures has not been large, the desire for real study is not gaining as we might wish. I see some relief along three or four general lines: (1) Limitation of the number of laboratory credits which can be counted towards a degree. At present some students in the upper classes are carrying a schedule made up very largely of laboratory courses. They have very little work to do outside of scheduled hours and their influence does not make for good study habits of freshmen, who are bound to get the wrong ideas of college requirements. (2) There is an opportunity to improve the scholastic tenor through a closer co-operation of freshmen instructors. With the heavy schedule freshmen are required to carry, each department should know pretty definitely the requirements and standards of the other departments. Only in this way can assignments and responsibilities be properly and justly gauged. This fault can be corrected through more frequent teachers’ meetings during the fall term. (3) There must be fewer outside demands early in the students’ career in college. Horseplay, rushing, and meetings of a doubtful value must be eliminated. (4) Classes should begin the first day, if at all possible, which means that textbooks are ordered so that students may secure them before the time scheduled for the first recitation period in any particular subject. To insure prompt starting of class exercises, text- books to be used and first assignments might be posted on recitation room doors, or even in the recitation room itself. It seems to me that it might be well for us to make a little closer study of the methods employed by freshman instructors. I am convinced that any freshman instructor should be first of all a strong teacher with sufficient training, of course, to command the proper respect of the students. Epwarp M. LEwis, Dean. Report of the Director of the Experiment Station. A brief summarization of the work of the year just closed shows the following as its most salient points: — } 1. A continuation of the fine spirit of co-operation mentioned in my last annual report. This has been evident not only be- tween men of the station staff and of the Extension Service, but likewise between the station and the resident teaching staff. In both cases assistance and advice have been given without stint, on request. Such a spirit is needed in order to insure the fullest effectiveness of institutional service. 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 47 2. Continued development and organization on the basis of the project system. In addition to this, strict analyses have been made of many existing lines of work, in an attempt to place the station on the most productive and economical plane possible. 3. The institution of weekly Experiment Station seminars, designed to bring to bear on station work the full knowledge and experience of the institution as a whole. The attendance at these seminars and the interest exhibited have been en- couraging. 4. A rather marked application of results of investigational work to problems of the field, orchard, and farm. This was particularly noteworthy in the case of the following individual projects: — . (a) Pomology Project No. 2, “Study of Tree Characters of Fruit Varieties.” — This project was started eight years ago under the Adams fund by Dr. Shaw. Work has progressed to such an extent that a method has been developed whereby purity of nursery stock when examined in the period of full leaf growth may be determined with a very fair degree of ac- curacy. This fact has led to the organization of a nursery certification plan, operated through the agency of the Massa- chusetts Fruit Growers’ Association. Up to date its applica- tion is confined to nurseries lying within the bounds of the State of Massachusetts. If it continues to be as successful as the first year’s experience indicates, there is no doubt that the scope of the work will be enlarged. (b) Botany Project No. 14, “Control of Tobacco Wildfire.” — This work became necessary through the indications of widely distributed infection seen in the seed beds of last spring. Results have been very encouraging, have been incorporated in a published bulletin, and promise to give to our tobacco growers a satisfactory means of control. (c) Botany Project No. 10, “Apple Disease Control Investiga- tions.” — Through the co-operation of fruit growers in the eastern apple section, it was possible for the station to under- take work on apple scab. The experimental plots in bearing orchards were supplied by the co-operating fruit growers, with a probable ultimate loss to themselves as individuals. Trans- 48 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. portation costs and labor costs, other than of our staff members, were likewise met by the fruit growers. The companies in- terested in the sale of machinery and likewise of spray materials were of great assistance in securing the necessary equipment and supplies. The work of the first season, although neces- sarily incomplete, indicates that control of this destructive fungus is easily possible. (d) Plant and Animal Chemistry Project No. 5, “Chemistry of Arsenical Insecticides.’ — Information on this subject has been collected over a series of years, with lately an enlargement in the field of fungicides. At the earnest request of fruit growers, Messrs. Holland, Bourne, and Anderson were assigned to the task of bringing together the scattered material in the form of a bulletin, which was published under the title “In- secticides and Fungicides for Farm and Orchard Crops in Massachusetts.”’ Fruit growers all over the country have rec- ognized this bulletin as a real addition to their working knowl- edge of these materials. (e) Plant and Animal Chemistry Project No. 11, “ Determining the Chemical Composition, Digestibility, and Feeding Value of Kiln Dried Apple Pomace.’’ — Final report on this work is now in press. It is economically important in that it points the way toward a probably economical method of utilization of a home-produced source of animal food, ordinarily largely wasted. (f) Plant and Animal Chemistry Project, “An Investigation of the Solubility Effect of Ammonium Sulfate on the Soul of Freld A.” — This work as carried on under the leadership of Professor Morse is of national significance owing to the fact that sulfate of ammonia is now the most important single source of ferti- lizer nitrogen. | In addition, mention should be made of the organization by the Extension Service, but under the leadership of Dr. Franklin in charge of the Cranberry Station, of a series of schools for cranberry bog foremen. The plant of the Cranberry Station has been placed at the disposal of the Extension Service for this work. From the institutional standpoint this dual utiliza- tion of research equipment is significant. 5. Continued handicap to the fullest service of the station brought about by the lack of publication funds. In this con- — 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 49 nection, however, I desire to go on record as appreciating to the full the excellent service accorded the Experiment Station by the State printers. 6. Increasing difficulty due to shortage of land, with conse- quent danger of too great dependence upon laboratory data unchecked by field experience. APPRENTICESHIP IN AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH. Among the changes of the year which give rise to thought is _ the withdrawal from the institution of two men, occupying al- _ most key positions, for the purpose of continuing their research work in the service of commercial agricultural industries. _ These men were Dr. G. H. Chapman, who resigned to under- take service with the Connecticut Valley Tobacco Improve- ment Association, and Mr. C. L. Beals, who left research work in animal nutrition as carried on here at the Experiment Sta- tion to take up research work in dairy manufactures for the Sheffield Farms Company. In both cases the opportunity for ' service was apparently increased, and likewise the financial rewards accorded the work. __ The withdrawal of these two men has caused serious inter- ruption of the work on which they were engaged. Yet the fact that commercial agricultural industries are coming to real- ize the value of research is encouraging. The further fact that _ they are capitalizing for the benefit of the industry which they » represent the knowledge and experience gained by apprentice- ” ship in research is a real cause for gratification. So numerous and important are the problems awaiting solution in the field of production, as. well as in all other fields of agricultural en- _deavor, even including the problem of utilization of food in the home, that it has long been apparent that certain parts of the work must be left to organized industry. Therefore, while re- ‘gretting the withdrawal of these two men, I must take this " occasion to point out to you a too seldom appreciated or real- ized function of the Experiment Station, — to give apprentice- hip in research in order that both the industries purveying to agriculture and those depending on agriculture may secure the type of research service which is needed. It is the function of the College and the Graduate School to train men; but it 50 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. is the function of the Experiment Station to give to these men the experience without which they cannot hope to fill important positions in industries relating to agriculture. NEEDS OF THE EXPERIMENT STATION. The two great needs of the Experiment Station at the present time may be listed as more land and greater man power. Re- garding the first, I need only refer you to my last annual report, stating the present conditions under which the Experiment Sta- tion is working, and the causes which have brought these about. This part of the subject I must dismiss with a single statement that not until the land needs of the Experiment Station are met will the station be of fullest service to the people of the Commonwealth. Regarding: the need for additional man power, first attention should be given to those existing departments, already organ- ized and equipped, in which production is curtailed through lack of sufficient assistance. Clear separation should be made be- tween such requests and requests which contemplate entirely new departmental organizations. The positions needed for the former purpose are as follows: — 1. Research Professor of Agronomy. — For a number of years this position has been combined with that of the Director of the Experiment Station. It seems impossible, however, to give to the administrative work of the station the time and thought which it needs, and at the same time keep abreast of the times in the study of fundamental problems of crop production. The increase in the overhead cost of maintenance, owing to the em- | ployment of such an officer, will not be large. The value of © work of this kind to productive agriculture is apparent to all. — 2. Laboratory Assistant in Pomology. — In productive orchard- ing Massachusetts has recently made great strides. At no dis- | tant date it is expected that the State will be self-supporting — in apple production, and may, in fact, have a surplus for export. — The Department of Pomology is now so organized as to admit — of very thoroughgoing work in this particular field. The new — assistant is needed in order to make fully productive the knowl- — edge and experience of men now in the department. 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 51 | 3. Assistant Research Professor of Vegetable Gardening at the Market-Garden Field Station. —'The work at the Field Station is now well under way, but the recording and study of accumu- lating data have been found time-consuming in the extreme. For experimental work on the many problems which must be faced in commercial vegetable growing, this additional research worker is needed. His appointment will not increase materially the maintenance charges at the Field Station. 4. Investigator in Plant Pathology, to be located at the Mar- ket-Garden Field Station, and 5. Investigator in Economic Entomology, to be located at the same place. Owing partly to differences in climate brought _ about by proximity to the seacoast, problems in the control of the enemies of vegetation as met in the eastern part of the _ State differ from those faced at the home station. In addition to the foregoing I must point out that an Exten- sion worker in the Department of Veterinary Science is sorely needed. His duties would be to organize on an Extension basis certain work now being done by the Experiment Station in avian pathology. Until such time as this Extension worker can be secured, the research men of this department cannot ' concentrate on the work for which they are primarily engaged. It should also be noted that the fine equipment of the De- partment of Microbiology of the Experiment Station is not now fully utilized owing to lack of man power. The subjects being studied by this department are basic and fundamental. At least one additional assistant research professor is needed in order that the department may continue studies initiated dur- ing the war on conservation and preservation of food products. Owing to the present depressed business conditions, I will make no mention in this place of other departments standing in need of research service. THr CLERICAL STAFF. _ The work of the station is handicapped to a great degree through lack of sufficient clerical service, and likewise through the lack of labor-saving computing machinery. This is par- ticularly the case in the Department of Agricultural Economics, ‘in which naturally a large number of statistical studies must 52 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. be made. The output of this department may be greatly in- creased by the investment of funds in the machinery mentioned, and the employment of competent clerical assistance. Similar to a degree is the situation in the Department of Poultry Hus- bandry, in which experimental data are accumulating more rapidly than they can be studied in an interpretative way. To allow such a state of affairs to continue is an invitation to fail- ure. The only present remedy is to require our research men to spend their time in clerical work rather than that for which they are better trained and more productively employed. REGULATIVE WoRK. Through State law, four different regulatory services are vested in the Experiment Station as executive agency. ‘These are the fertilizer control, the feed control, the inspection of dairy glassware and examination of milk testers, and the poultry disease elimination law. The sum total of the appropriations is $25,050. There have been no changes from previous practice in the feed control as carried on in the past year. Funds are insuf- ficient for carrying out all the provisions of the feed control law, but aside from this, work is progressing in its usual efficient way. Work under the fertilizer control law has likewise pro- gressed in the usual way, the only change worthy of note being further study of method of presentation of results, and a definite policy looking towards division of the subject-matter, with more frequent reports than previously, but each one of a limited scope. With the increased appropriation given at the legislative ses- sion of 1920-21 for the support of the poultry disease elimina- tion law has come the opportunity for increased activity and better organization. With the employment of three permanent — assistants in place of two temporary assistants, the work is now on a sounder and more thoroughgoing basis than has heretofore © been possible. Likewise it is now so organized as to attempt to clean up certain sections of the State, in the hope that after — a reasonable number of years distribution of the disease will be so reduced as to make further work unnecessary. : SIDNEY B. HASKELL, - Director of the Experiment Station. — 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 53 Report of the Director of the Extension Service. The report of the Extension Service for the past year will be confined to discussion of but a few outstanding factors in the _ work, leaving statistical data and detailed comment for the full report which will be submitted to the Governor, in accordance with congressional requirement as set forth in the Smith-Lever » Act. ' CAREFUL PLANNING HAS RESULTED IN MORE GENERAL ACCEPT- ANCE OF IMPROVED METHODS. _ The Extension Work of the past year has been characterized _by more carefully defined projects and plans of work, more intensive efforts in fewer fields, more work with groups and less with individuals, more careful appraisal of values resulting from time and money spent, and, most important of all, more farmers and home-makers teaching in their localities by means of co-operative demonstrations. Our work is based on the con- viction that farmers and home-makers, with adequate support of county agents and specialists, are the best Extension teach- ers, and are, in the main, best qualified to determine the sub- jects in which teaching is most needed. The task of the Extension Service therefore becomes increasingly one of finding the most successful men in the business of farming, and women in the business of home-making, assisting them to perfect their practices, training them in methods of informal teaching, and organizing the attention of the community to them and their ‘demonstrations. It is also noted that such teaching is effective proportionately as communities have themselves determined, in consultation with the county staffs, what demonstrations were needed, and from such discussions have decided to support a program of their own making. It is hardly too much to pre- dict that next year will see almost the entire Extension program built on the analysis of community needs by the men and women most affected, guided always by the counsel of the county and College Extension workers, and involving the teaching efforts of hundreds of men, women, boys, and girls. _ These elements indicate the magnitude and importance of. Extension work. It is not a program predetermined by paid 54 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. agents and superimposed on the State; it is an intelligent and democratic effort of the average citizens in our communities to effect changes toward better farm and home practice, with re- sultant prosperity, opportunity, and happiness. The effort is to get general adoption of the methods which have proved most successful, and which are already being followed by the more ‘progressive. It is evident that no paid staff could be large enough or uniformly acceptable enough to accomplish this by the direct teaching of all farmers. The time and abilities of the College and county staffs must be given to training demon- strators and creating nuclei of sound practice in all parts of the State. The quickness of ultimate acceptance of their prac- tices will come in direct proportion to the number and effective- ness of the co-operating demonstrators. Probably it is safe to say that no funds expended by the State give such far-reaching dividends in education as those used in support of this co-opera- tive Extension system. STAFF CHANGES FEWER THAN Last YEAR. | The last annual report of the Director of the Extension i Service closed with the following: — : Looking forward to the new year our principal need is for men and © women of experience and capacity who can take up the work interrupted — by resignations, and who can be sufficiently supported to enable their © ona with us for more than a brief time. | It is pleasing to report that this need has in part been met. — Only five resignations, involving three positions, are to be re- | ported in the professional staff, and the clerical staff has been — quite constant. No changes have occurred in the staff of the | county agricultural agents; only two in the staff of county club 4 agents; and nine in the staff of home demonstration agents. ; It is in the latter field, with three State leaders in service — during the year, and with nine resignations of home demonstra-_ tion agents, that serious disturbance to work has occurred. To offset this a most encouraging factor is noted in the determina-— tion of the women in the counties that work shall continue, and in a greater effort on their part: in undertaking the necessary | tasks of volunteer and unpaid teaching. 4 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. Bs It is also worthy of note that relations with other State and county agencies are cordial and co-operative. Every effort is being made to define programs of work and discuss possible overlapping of efforts with these other agencies. It is increas- ingly evident that Smith-Hughes, or vocational work, and ‘Smith-Lever, or Extension work, occupy separate fields, with only a slight marginal overlapping; also that in function there should be the closest co-operation and frequent interchanges of service between these two staffs. REsuuts oF REDUCED APPROPRIATIONS. The State appropriation for Extension work for 1921 was 12.8 per cent less than that for the year 1920. Not only were our State funds reduced, but our Federal funds were decreased automatically by the new census. As a result, we have been obliged to continue to leave five former positions unfilled, em- ploy none of the workers urgently needed in some of the newer fields, keep all our traveling staff at home from four to six weeks, retard the development of our correspondence courses, withdraw from the field of exhibits at the fall fairs, reduce the scope of our Summer Farmers’ Week, and curtail work in many minor details. As a result of this economy we have finished the year with a balance of $2.97. At present our ability to render effective service to the people of the State is seriously crippled. For the preparation of Extension material and the rendering of specialist service in the fields of rural engineering, animal and poultry diseases, plant diseases, insect pests, floriculture, forestry, and household management we have to depend on resident teaching and the Experiment Station staffs, already overloaded, or decline the opportunity altogether. Persistent demands in these fields in- dicate the need of Extension specialists. It is not our belief that multiplication of specialists in a single field is either de- sirable or justifiable; one good specialist in each field should suffice to prepare the material, train and support our county agents and co-operating demonstrations, and lead the Extension work in his or her field. It is futile, however, to discuss any enlargement of staff unless adequate maintenance funds are given to allow such staff members as we have to work effec- tively. 56 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. NEED FOR PERMISSION TO USE REVENUES AS CIRCULATING FUNDS. A part of this difficulty would be overcome if the Extension Service were allowed the use of its revenues as circulating funds. A much wider use of our published material would be possible’ and the increased service could be made self-supporting. Illus- trative material to support demonstrations could be made and used in much larger quantities, without increased cost to the State; the educational camps during the summer could be greatly increased and put on a self-supporting basis; the land- scape work with small towns and communities could be doubled in volume; a self-supporting film library of agricultural ma- terial could be built up; exhibits could be again prepared and furnished at cost to the organizations desiring them; and in such special fields as poultry disease identification and prophy- laxis the staff could be increased or decreased according to need, with reduced cost to the State. The Commonwealth is now limiting the fullest productivity of its funds when materials worth using can be produced in limited quantities only, and cannot be further produced for sale to those who would pay for them. It seems most unfortunate that the College is unable because of these legislative restrictions, to give the people of the State an educational service for which they are willing to pay. PrRINcIPAL NEEDS. The principal needs of the Extension Service are adequate maintenance funds to make effective the work of such staff as we have, and legislation to permit the use of revenues in certain activities as revolving funds. I omit emphasis this year on the need of new specialists in fields where calls are pressing, as in- dicated earlier in this report. JOHN D.

It is commonly accepted that professions, vocations, or call- ings of any nature require different subject-matter, and, to a limited extent, different training for preparation. While sub- ject-matter must vary widely to meet the purposes, training, which is more of a common element running through all sub- jects, may not vary so much. In the case of the ministry applied work is found in the theo- logical seminary, while the general basis and cultural courses in college precede the seminary courses. With the law there is a very similar arrangement, — the law studies are given in a law school following a general collegiate course. Medicine is drift- ing in the same direction, so that the best medical schools at the present time call for collegiate training of four years, and even specify some particular subject requirements. Engineer- ing has not gone quite so far, but in reality is fostering much the same method of education. While there are short-cut pos- sibilities, the results are so much in favor of the general col- legiate training followed by specific professional or vocational training that the only objections raised are time and expense. Can agriculture, in many respects a much more gigantic pro- _ fession than any, do less? It will doubtless for many years to come have to provide education for all grades and all types of Individuals, but ought this essential profession and industry _ neglect its growth and its future possibilities, when already the _ human family has been made to appreciate its limitations for _ supplying food? At this moment let it be understood the writer is not dealing with farm labor, “recipe” or artisan farmers, or with any other Set of individuals working in agriculture, who, through choice 58 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. or unfortunate conditions, have elected to be automata, routine ~ performers, or mechanical human entities, and who simply learn to do a thing and then work because society so ordains. They too deserve every consideration. Every profession has this type of man, — the ministry, medicine, law, and engineer- ing, as well as many others, but the advancement of the pro- fession and its contribution to society cannot be said to lie with these classes. Doubtless the self-claimed agent as the anointed of God, the community “wiseacre”’ who dispenses law to his neighbor without an actual knowledge of it, the grandmother panacean physician who does not hesitate to take the responsibility for all community diagnoses and treatments in care of all ailments, and the pseudo-engineer who imposes. himself upon every automobilist or farmer as a heaven-born mechanical and electrical genius have their place in maintaining the equilibrium of society and satisfying its whims, as a drag to a ship which should not proceed too fast among dangerous. shoals. They are so ignorant that they are not aware of it, and not for a minute do they doubt their wisdom. Society as a unit or taken as a whole cannot be much in advance of this average stage, otherwise such assumptions would not be toler- ated. Agriculture labors under many disadvantages. It can use workers of the lowliest order and every grade to the highest. order. Comments, therefore, bearing upon the _ professional features of agriculture are confused because they are not de- fined by restricted applications. Agriculture, too, is so big that no mind can encompass the entire expanse; accordingly, specialization has a tendency to make of it a battlefield for fac- tions, each faction — whether farmers, pseudo-farmers, business men, bankers, politicians, statesmen, professional men, teachers, or investigators — thinking its approach the only safe and sane approach, and its solutions for the problems of agriculture the only proved answers. To partisans in agriculture, likewise to factions, and especially .to the wiseacres, the panacean individuals, to the self-anointed of God, and to the pseudo- types who are no nearer agriculture than the mountain top is to the plain, permit it to be said that human limitations are only exceeded by ignorance. Agriculture has depths untouched — 1922] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 59 and expanses unexplored. Agriculture has no truly thought policies (scientific theories) or business policies because of its many reaches and the paucity in its strictly scientific attempts. Agriculture suffers from its magnitude because the men occupied with its advancement cannot stop to discover its depths and have to spread themselves so thinly over its surface that they have no time to observe details. Agriculture is crying for more men who are so highly trained that, no matter in what division of labor they find themselves, they will not only ap- preciate agriculture and its difficulties, but will contribute re- sults of value in their particular niche. In surveying and interpreting agriculture comprehensively there are three grand divisions: the manufacturing or produc- tive end, the managing, sales, or commercial aspect, and the social phase. Agriculture therefore becomes technical and sci- entific, economic and sociological. ? With this setting it may be possible to promulgate a con- sideration of the basic education in agriculture for the prepara- tion of a man who can contribute to agricultural progress or advancement. THE FUNDAMENTAL OR Basic DEVELOPMENT IN AGRICUL- TURAL EDUCATION. In order to outline and define any position effectively in agricultural education, it seems necessary to mention the old and much-discussed division in education, — cultural and utili- tarian. Since our study is mainly one of the utilitarian, it is very desirable that an attempt at least be made to describe What is meant by cultural, in which we may not all agree. The Cultural in Education. — Culture includes man’s capacity for sympathy and appreciation, sympathy as a reaction which results from similar experiences or feelings; and apprecia- tion as a consequence of actual knowledge of man and his accomplishments, together with the great objective world as a background. From this it follows that a cultured man must be truly in sympathy with all of his fellow men and appreciate their interests, their motives, and their actions. Culture, there- fore, reaches into the arts, the sciences, literature, history, economics, business, politics — in fact, it assumes an acquaint- 60 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. ance with all branches of knowledge, with all activities of men, and with all the finer feelings of their souls. It appears in men in different degrees as does the utilitarian. Perhaps it may be safely said that these two objects of educa- tion should be happily blended. Pertinently may it be added, in a negative sense: An education without idealism, without a motive beyond the acquiring of a sordid dollar, without the translation of effort into terms of something other than bar- gaining, and without an endeavor to understand those agencies which have been utilized to raise man out of his morbid animal self to realms of pure enjoyment and improvement, cannot be said to be cultural. Tue FUNDAMENTAL AND Basic IN AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION AS INTERPRETED MAINLY FROM THE UTILITARIAN VIEWPOINT. The principal function of a Graduate School in an agricul- tural college is to prepare men to master the problems of agri- culture from the side of production, of commerce, and of society in an agricultural atmosphere. Men thus prepared must be able to solve the problems satisfactorily and not dawdle over them because of lack of training and understanding. The limitations in training and education should never be recognized as an excuse, although there may be many other extraneous causes for inefficiency. This statement applies to investiga- tions, to teaching, and to expert services in the many lines of agriculture. In preparing young men for such tasks, no element seems more important than a properly conceived foundation, — a basis which removes as many restrictions to action as possible and which serves as a starting point. That the products result- ing from a truly basic training and from an education without basic training differ in their capacity for efficiency in those lines of action for which preparation has been made, if properly judged, there can be not the slightest doubt. The inherent value of such training is ascribed to the follow- ing reasons: — ; 1. Growth and unimpeded action by the human agent are dependent on it. 1922). ©§ PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 61 2. Agriculture advances by what is found in it, and it takes its position in the world by or on account of these intrinsic val- ues, thus acquiring tone, place, and attraction through real merit. Formal education in agriculture has to deal with two classes of fundamental subjects: — 1. Such basic subjects as are primary and more or less com- monly important to all studies. 2. Such subjects as are restricted and are only specifically basic to limited study ranges and even to single subjects. . From this arrangement it is at once gathered that certain subjects may stand by themselves, isolated or more or less un- related, while at the other extreme very little can be gained without passing through a long series of preparatory and de- velopmental subjects. Then there are all grades of subject requirements existing between these two extremes. Agricul- ture is concerned with all grades or types of basic study. To put them in a single cast, or to base conclusions upon any one or several of them, may be, from the very nature of the case, very misleading and unsound. Any scheme that may be offered will be faulty, but an ap- proach may be attempted. Too many factors, both known and unknown, enter in, and these known factors cannot be pre- sented in this report; in fact, a very extensive and exhaustive treatment is called for here. My purpose, under the circum- stances, will be suggestive, approximating the true conditions as nearly as feasible. Before offering the specific scheme, it will be only just to say emphatically that a man trained for efficiency, and efficiency only, having no other objective in mind, can never breathe the breath of life into agriculture in a soulful manner. There should accompany the efficiency ideal the cultural with its spiritual interpretations. Even then the cultural will fall i _ far short because it is so narrowly bounded. The basic or fundamental from the utilitarian standpoint cannot be brought out forcefully unless there is an analysis along a single channel to make clear the concept advanced. This will be done by subjects now available in College. 62 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. - [Feb. tee Group I. GENERALLY AND ESSENTIALLY FUNDAMENTAL. English. Spoken — written (spelling, reading, writing, composition). The medium of thought-transmission for English-speaking peoples. Accuracy in thought-transmission is dependent upon accuracy in lan- guage and standardization. French and German. The more proficient the student is in reading, writing, and speaking, the more valuable is the language. These languages, when acquired, will extend the values of English from 50 to 100 per cent in knowledge and efficiency. Mathematics. Arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytical geometry, calculus. Mathematics is the mechanism of quantity, direction, space, and time which enters into every measurement, calculation, and estimate. Every problem of life which is considered seriously is interwoven with this mechanism. ‘‘Conterminous with space and coeval with time is the kingdom of mathematics; within this range her dominion is supreme; otherwise than according to her ofder nothing can exist, nothing takes place in contradiction to her laws.” Physics and Chemistry. Nature of matter, reactions of matter, energy, heat, light, electricity, sound.

These are basicly the same: class 1 enters class 2 for the definite pur- pose of scientific efficiency, and class 2 leads to a very definitely evolved goal. Both classes find their energizing values in Groups I and II. Group IV. THe Human or SoctaL ComMPLex. Literature, history, governments, economics, education, sociology, art, etc. Cultural and applied, subjective and objective (somewhat) in their approach, essential to intercourse and expressive of society, these subjects become truly issues with some basic values, and should be objectively founded and spiritually exploited. Much force is contributed to this group by social contacts throughout life, and much of the training ema- nating from them may be and is obtained beyond school or college walls. SOME SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS. There is a wide difference between a student fundamentally trained and one without such training. Likewise the difference between one trained wholly from the utilitarian standpoint and one possessing the values of cultural training is conspicuous. The latter, however, enters into our considerations only in- eidentally, and will not be illustrated. Students in a class without fundamental training when asked certain questions of everyday importance will display answers shooting in every direction as a loose lot of skyrockets set off without direction or control. On the other hand, students who have had genuine basic training, will, by a process of di- rect utilization of laws, principles or policies, and facts, confine their reasoning within established limitations. This has wide application not only in the practices of agriculture but within every walk of life. In spite of the contention of very, very practical men that they want only practical things, which are usually unrelated, promulgated in our educational system, they themselves — these very, very practical men — are constantly 64 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. employing policies unconsciously which, if they were analyzed, would be found responsible for their success and generally lim- ited activities. They will discuss them with you if they are drawn out in the right way. They themselves are under the spell of what they attempt to condemn. Basic training gives well-established thought-policies and act-policies for the guidance of students and of men. Failure most frequently results from incapacity to relate thoughts and actions to established laws, principles, or policies. Ask a class of untrained students why sugar beets with a high content of cane sugar will not grow and produce sugar if covered over with a thick layer of straw, the replies will be impertinent, irrelevant hearsay, unintelligible, haphazard, in- discriminate, and indifferent. Ask the same question of a class of students basicly trained, and the answers will proceed cau- tiously and rationally. In the first place, their answers will be restricted within certain limitations. Within the limitations ‘the factors of growth appear one by one in their minds, and are weighed .against the conditions named in the question. When each factor has been carefully and critically reviewed and a result secured, they then put these results together in a reply covering the question. ‘Their minds operate by analysis and synthesis in the light of a knowledge of the facts available. If every factor can be subjected to their operating mental process, and carefully adapted, their answers cannot be far from wrong. Specific and detailed information enters into their consideration in the same manner as in the case of a successful contractor. They have acquired a knowledge of the relation of sunlight, of carbon dioxide, and water to the sugar beet with its sugar for- mation; the need of oxygen, the influence of moisture and evaporation, not only to the beet plant but to the fertility of the soil; the relation of the roots of the beet plant to the needs of nutrition; the elements essential to nutrition, and the changes that take place in the plant through the agency of chlorophyll and protoplasm. In short, the entire range of plant growth as applied to the sugar beet, with especial refer- ence to its growth and production of sugar, becomes the basis for the answer given; in other terms, a familiar knowledge of botany, physics, chemistry, microbiology, and mathematics 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 65 may and does consciously and unconsciously influence the character of the answer, particularly if considered intimately -and quantitatively. The same class of problems, of course, with different subjects, confronts every man, whether he be a banker, a statesman, a politician, a merchant, a manufacturer, a skilled workman, or a common laborer. Not only are his problems the problems of his vocation, profession, or business, but they are the problems of living — of his relation to society, to State, and to the Na- tion. Is the man to solve his problems with impulse and spontaneity, with haphazardness and indiscrimination, and with- _ out basic training leading to solution, or is he to solve them in _ the light of established facts and rational inquiry? Shall we train students to be simply human tools, or shall we strive to make of men intelligent workers with capacity to spiritualize their efforts? Is it the function of the Agricultural College and the Graduate School to prepare the artisan type of man for agriculture, or strive to train a man to be a man who can assist in making agriculture a real profession and a real industry rather than a mere trade without incentive other than pecuni- ary returns, and who can spiritualize agriculture into attrac- tiveness? CHARLES E. MArsHALL, Director of the Graduate School. Report of the Director of Short Courses. Under Short Course administration the following schools and courses were offered during 1921: — (1) The Two-Year Course in Practical Agriculture, (2) the ~ Ten Weeks’ Winter School, (3) the Summer School, (4) two Vocational Poultry Courses, one starting in September and the other in January, (5) the School of Rural Home Life, and (6) _ Unit Courses for disabled veterans, sent to this College by the Veterans’ Bureau, for instruction in English, arithmetic, and agricultural and horticultural subjects. The number enrolled in Short Courses this year was approxi- _ mately the same as for 1920, as may be seen from the follow- "ing table: — 66 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. 1918. | 1919. | 1920. | 1921.

Under the old plan of one general course, with few electives, many students were taking subjects in which they were not interested. Under the new plan there are seven groups of electives, having for their purpose the preparation of students for specific vocations. | The following are the seven groups now available to the students in the Two-Year Course: animal husbandry, poultry husbandry, dairy manufactures, general horticulture, pomology, floriculture, and vegetable gardening. ; The work of reorganization was done by the several depart- j ments and divisions in co-operation with the Director of Short — 1922.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 67 Courses. The reorganized course was then submitted to the President for final action. The reorganization of the course seems to have met the approval of both the faculty and the student body. No modification has been made in the organization of either - the Summer School or the Winter School. Housing. — We have reached practically our maximum of service to the State in resident instruction in the Short Courses, until some provision is made for the housing of part of the stu- dent body on the campus. During the regular year, from Sep- tember to June, the most practical time for offering Short : Courses, students who are here throughout the year have se- cured practically all the desirable rooms near the College. The result is that the more mature students who come in for the Winter School find it necessary to go a long way from the Col- lege to secure rooms. It is not advisable to encourage students to come here for the winter session unless they can be com- fortably housed. ‘The solution of this problem lies in the build- ing of a dormitory for the housing of a part of the regular four-year student body, thus making more rooms available for rental. Future Developments. —In the further development of Short Courses, the need for specialized instruction to groups of men and women actually engaged in some particular farm occupa- tion will have to be recognized. ‘The Division of Horticulture, under the leadership of Prof. Frank A. Waugh, is organizing such a specialized course this year in co-operation with the New England Nurserymen’s Association and the Massachu- setts Nurserymen’s Association. Students who take this special course for nurserymen are required to have already had prac- tical experience before entering. The course is limited to _ twenty-five students. : Service of the College in the Rehabilitation of Disabled Veter- ~ ans. — This College was one of the first agricultural institu- tions to undertake rehabilitation work for disabled veterans of the World War. At this institution the Unit Courses for vet- erans who had not had a common school education were first organized. ‘These Unit Courses included elementary courses in _ English, arithmetic, poultry, dairying, soils and crops, rural 68 | AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. engineering, animal husbandry, pomology, general horticulture, vegetable gardening, and floriculture. The plans developed here were utilized in other schools and colleges throughout the country. It was necessary to provide these special courses for the veterans who had not had a common school education, because at the time they were provided there were no prevo- cational schools to give elementary education in English and arithmetic. During the past three years many prevocational schools have been organized so that disabled men may secure training in English and arithmetic in these schools. I am recommending, therefore, that the Unit Courses in this institu- tion be discontinued after June 30, 1922. During the three years we have carried on the work of rehabilitation, approxi- mately 500 disabled men have been enrolled in the College. Supervision of Farm Practice and Employment. — 'The super- vision of students in the Two-Year Course, during the six months they are required to take farm experience, is under the able direction of Mr. Paul W. Viets. Mr. Viets has worked out an excellent plan of supervision during the farm practice period. The record he keeps of the students’ work is such that he can give definite and reliable information to any employer.

Gentlemen of the Corporation. REVIEW OF THE YEAR. Death of Dr. James B. Paige. ___ After a leave of absence of nearly one and a half years on account of illness, Dr. James B. Paige died October 5, 1922. Dr. Paige was a graduate of the Massa- _ chusetts Agricultural College in the class of 1882; subsequently he pursued the study of Veterinary Science at Montreal Veterinary College, McGill University, and in the Thierartzlichen Hochschule, Munich, Germany. He joined our teach- ing staff in 1890 as professor of Veterinary Science and subsequently became Head of the Department. In this capacity he directed not only the teaching but also the research of the Department, and in later years had charge of the work de- veloped under the poultry disease elimination law. From 1909 to 1911, he served as Dean of the College in the absence of Dean George F. Mills. In the passing of Dr. Paige, the College lost an efficient teacher and a faithful servant. The fol- q lowing tribute was accepted by the faculty at a recent meeting: : 7 To the memory of James Breckenridge Paige, D. V. S., member of the class of 1882 and of the faculty of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. In the death of James Breckenridge Paige, the Massachusetts Agricultural College has lost a distinguished glumnus, teacher and friend. His connection with the college covered a period of overYorty years. He served the college with distinguished success _ as a teacher, investigator, and administrator; he also gave valuable service to the ~ Commonwealth as a member of the General Court. In the discharge of these responsibilities he served his country and college with staunch ‘integrity. He was a man of high ideals and firm principles, manifested both in his _ relations with his fellow teachers and students and in his devotion to the search for truth. His principles were the result of long and conscientious thought, and once de- _ termined were courageously supported in the face of every difficulty. We hold him in A} _ grateful memory as a patriotic citizen, a loyal colleague, a close personal friend. Reorganization of the Department of Veterinary Science. _ Following the retirement of Dr. Paige, the Department of . Veterinary Science _ was reorganized as the Department of Veterinary Science and Animal Pathology _ with Dr. George E. Gage as Professor and Head of the Department. Dr. Gage joined our staff in 1911 and, with the exception of an absence for war service, has _ been in the employ of this institution since that date. He is a graduate of Clark University with the class of 1906, and pursued graduate study at Yale University from which he received the degree of M.A. in 1907 and of Ph.D. in 1909. During the war he served as captain in the Sanitary Corps of the army and spent several months in France. Retirement of Major Frederick E. Shnyder. __As a result of the policy of the War Department to reduce materially its number of commissioned officers, Major Frederick E. Shnyder was in November placed upon the retired list. In 1920-21 Major Shnyder served as Assistant Professor _ of Military Science and Tactics in our institution with Col. Richard W. Walker, and upon the transfer of the latter to another post, Major Shnyder was in 1921 | made Commandant. Under his direction the standard of excellence in military 6 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. (Feb. drill has been constantly elevated. He was respected and liked by the students and his retirement was cause for sincere regret by students and faculty alike. Major Herman Kobbé, who has been Assistant Professor of Military Science — and Tactics since 1921, succeeds Major Shnyder as Commandant. Being — thoroughly familiar with the development of the military work at. this institution — and having the confidence of the faculty and students, Major Kobbé will doubt- — less continue to maintain a high standard for the military work here. q Our good fortune in having a cavalry unit assigned to the college — one of but a — half dozen in the United States —is exemplified in the increasing popularity of — the military drill. We now have sixty horses from the War Department with a — liberal complement of soldiers and supplies. A major and two captains are assigned q for instruction service. That the students are responding to the opportunity is shown by an enrollment in the advanced course of 9 seniors and 16 juniors. The ~ Reserve Officers Training Corps is thoroughly justifying itself so far as this College — is concerned, both from “the standpoint of enabling the students to get the maxi- — mum educational value from the canna: discipline and in the training of reserve - _ officers for the army. | . Te Withdrawal of Professor Lockwood. q ‘ Professor W. P. B. Lockwood, upon his request, has been relieved. of his duties © as Professor of Dairying and Head of the Department. This position he had held © since 1909; during this period of service he rendered conspicuous service not only to the College but to the dairy interests of the state as well. Under his direction — Flint Laboratory was built and equipped, and the ‘major’ in dairying organized. Professor Lockwood is a man of unusual administrative ability and was constantly _ called upon to work out problems not immediately connected with his department. For example, he organized the class schedule on a permanent and satisfactor basis; this task was a difficult one due to the constantly increasing number of courses which were being placed in the curriculum as well as to the development of the major system of studies. During the war, Professor hockwood was one of our most valuable men in organizing various types of public safety work. More re- — cently he gave considerable attention to the work of vocational counselling of students. After the close of the war, Professor Lockwood became interested in i the promotion of a more extended use of milk and other dairy products on a New ~ England basis; and for two and one-half years before his retirement from the Head of the Department gave largely of his time to this educational promotion ~ work. Professor Lockwood is still retained on part time pay as Professor of Ex- ) tension Dairying. Professor H. F. Judkins is serving as acting Head of the | Department of Dairying. ae Resignations. During the year there were fewer resignations from the professional and cleniaas ul staffs than in any of the preceding five years. There were twelve resignations from m + the professional staff, nineteen from the clerical and secretarial staff, and two from | other salaried positions. The list of resignations does not include any department head. It appears that for the present at least the serious over-turn of stafi due to ~ inadequate salaries has been partially checked. We still fail, however, to pay our | men in the more responsible positions salaries which compare favorably. wit h ‘those paid men holding similar positions elsewhere. 3 Commencement. The usual commencement exercises were held June 23 to 27, the commencer e! Haddrecs on June 27 being given by Bishop Francis J. McConnell of Pittsburg ‘Pennsylvania. The degree of B.Sc. was conferred upon 94 men and 5 wome the degree of M. ae conferred patie 3 men ia l woman; the in rf Ph. fee 2 men. ' wie A PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 7 Burning of the Chemistry Laboratory. ___ Early in the morning of September 6, the old chemistry laboratory was com- pletely destroyed by fire. The building was valued in the college inventory at about $8,000 but its replacement value was several times that amount. In spite of considerable salvaging the loss on equipment is estimated at about $18,000. The College immediately requested the State Department of Public Safety to _ make an investigation as to the cause of the fire. In its judgment the fire was _ caused by the breaking and consequent leaking of nitric acid on to the wood work _ of a shelf and partition. While this building was a sort of “standing joke” and had even been characterized by an investigating committee as “a disgrace to the | _ Commonwealth”’, its passing not only caused considerable inconvenience and loss, but i is to be regretted as a matter of sentiment. It was the first of the College puildings to be erected for class purposes; it had been used by probably every four-year student throughout the history of the institution; and it was in this building where one of the great teachers of the College, Dr. Goessmann, did his work and where he trained some of the ablest and most useful of the alumni of the College. Fire Protection. Beginning some fifteen years ago there was instituted a system of fire protec- _ tion at the College which it was hoped would prevent serious fires. Two night watchmen each make three or four rounds of the entire property each night; hand _ fire extinguishers are found on every floor of every building; the College itself possesses some 1050 feet of hose and two hose carts, one of which has a forty- gallon chemical tank. When the town of Amherst purchased its fire truck some eight or ten years ago, the College contributed a thousand dollars on condition that the truck should be equipped with a pump, the fear being that for some of the buildings the existing water pressure is not sufficient. Curiously enough the first test of this pump after it was purchased, was made on the chemistry building itself and the stream was thrown many feet above the roof from the lowest point surrounding the building. In addition to these precautions one of the best fire chiefs in western Massachusetts inspected the institution and made a number of suggestions concerning protection. After the chemistry fire the Department of Public Safety was asked to make still another survey and the State Fire Marshal himself as well as one of his deputies has gone over the institution. The final recom- mendations from this Department are not yet at hand but will be submitted as soon as they come to our hands. Legislative Appropriation in 1922. __ The legislature of 1922 provided special appropriations for the undertaking of ‘three major projects, namely, the construction of a new chemistry laboratory, im- i provements at the power plant, and the purchase of the “Brooks Farm.” _ The new chemistry building is in process of erection and it is hoped it will be ‘ready for occupancy by the beginning of the next fall term. The reduction of the requested appropriation by $50,000 necessitated a severe cut in equipment and “some changes in the building. We are to have at last, however, a thoroughly ~ modern and well built chemistry building, substantially fire proof, well arranged, And planned for expansion. When the building is completed a full description will be recorded. - The main improvements at the Power Plant made possible by the Legislative 2 appropriation of $63,000 are: 2 405 horse power Heine boilers with equipment, ute stokers, feed ‘pump, and water heater; 1 300 kilowatt generator and turbine The acquisition of ‘ie Brooks Farm is particularly fortunate at this time. Owing to the erection of Stockbridge Hall, Flint Laboratory, Abigail Adams House and .2 ‘ 7 8 - AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. . (Feb. the chemistry laboratory, serious encroachments in recent years have been made upon the test plots of the Experiment Station; furthermore the institution has not had suitable land which it could devote to experimental work in tobacco and — onion problems, which have in recent years brought serious losses to farmers in _ the Connecticut Valley. The Brooks farm has been designated by the Trustees — as the ‘William P. Brooks Experimental Farm”’ and will be used primarily for the purpose of research. Gifts to the College. During the past year three bequests of note have been made to the College as — follows: : I. ‘Massachusetts Agricultural Society Loan Fund” of $500. . The purpose of this loan is to assist students, with preference for those planning to pursue agricultural work, to pay their college expenses. II. Gift of $10,000 from the Bay. State Agricultural Society, on the following terms: ‘ “The Bay State Agricultural Society gives to the Trustees of the Massa- 4 chusetts Agricultural College the sum of $10,000 and some $500 accumulated © interest, to be held by them and to be known as the J. D. W. French Fund. “Tt is our desire, as Mr. French was especially interested in Dairying and — Forestry, that the Trustees use the income from this fund, so that in their judg- _ ment it will do the greatest good to students in dairying and its allies, also i Forestry, either as scholarships, loans, or prizes. We should prefer, however, that when it seems most advisable, the income be used to help pay the expenses _ of a judging team to go from the Massachusetts Agricultural College to the: National Dairy Show or National Live Stock Show.” III. Land from the Cornelia Warren estate at Waltham, including approximately 54 acres and certain farm buildings. Because of the advantageous location of this land as well as its adaptability for experimental work, and after careful con- # sideration by the Trustees the conclusion has been reached that the interests 0) the market gardeners will be better served by disposing of the present Market: Garden Field Station and equipment at North Lexington and re-establishing the . Station at Waltham. Consequently a bill has been submitted for consideration by the forthcoming legislature authorizing the Trustees to dispose of the Market Garden Field Station at North Lexington with the understanding that the work will be re-established at Waltham. P Enrollment of Students. In courses of Collegiate Grade: This autumn the registration of students it 2 work of collegiate grade is 537, approximately the same as in 1921. The entering” class numbers 187 as compared with 162 of a year ago and 135 of two years ago. ! Owing to the large number of last year’s freshman class who failed in their studies, the present sophomore class is unusually small. The number of graduate students | is approximately the same as last year, as is also the number of special students. The total number of women students is 49, twenty of whom are entered with the freshman class. Of the 32 girls who were enrolled in the four year course of a year ago but 19 returned this autumn. Of the remainder some failed in their college work, but the majority transferred to other institutions in order to secure trainin ie in departments of work not offered at this institution. | In the Two-Year Course: There is a decrease in the enrollment of Two- Yea « students. In 1920 the enrollment numbered 277, in 1921, 293, and in 1922, 257. | Instruction in “unit” courses to Federal Board students has been discontinued, it now being the policy of the Federal government to centralize instruction of | character in fewer institutions, each caring for a larger number of students than formerly. ! In the Summer School and Other Short Courses: The Summer School of 1922 had an enrollment of 186 students. This was smaller than in the preceding tw O years, due’ to the fact that the Summer Training Courses organized by the Depart ment of Education were this year given at bige North Adams Normal School. _ P| { 1923.) PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 9 Total Enrollment: The total enrollment this autumn is 803, of whom 537 are enrolled in work of degree grade and 266 in the various short courses. During the pyeat the total number of students registering at the College, including the classes aduated in June from the Two-Year and Four-Year Courses, has been approxi- Eiately. 1,300. (For details see pages 30, 31.) Attendance at Agricultural Colleges. Recently statistics have been gathered listing the attendance at the agricultural ‘colleges of the country during the past three or four years. It was well known, of course, that the war practically closed our colleges for all real college work. But ‘since the war there has been a tremendous influx of students into many of our colleges. However, nearly every agricultural college in the country shows a de- ‘crease of attendance during the past three years, in some cases amounting to a loss of a third. Our own College has just held its own during this period with re- “spect to four year students, and inasmuch as each freshman class has been larger ‘than the preceding one, it would appear that we are again on the upward curve. Probably the agricultural depression in New England is felt. somewhat less than it is in the great agricultural areas where conditions are such as to discourage young “men training themselves for practical agricultural pursuits. Review of the Year in Academic Departments. In June there was submitted to the faculty and alumni a report on the course of ‘study made by a committee appointed for this purpose by the Associate Alumni; the chairman of this committee was Herbert J. Baker, 1911, Director of Exten- sion Service in Connecticut. The committee consumed nearly a year in its in- vestigation and made a careful inquiry among alumni and former students as well as the faculty and undergraduates. The report was one of the most comprehen- ‘ sive studies which has been made of our curriculum problems and called to the at- ention of the faculty and alumni many fundamental problems which confront not only our institution but probably every institution as well. The report met with general favor among the faculty and as rapidly as possible the principal Se ninendations will be put into operation. __ The work of the freshman year was modified for the class entering this autumn. Beginning with this class also the so-called M. I. T. system of evaluating credits was adopted. It is proposed to make this plan of evaluating credits applicable to all future classes entering the College; also to gradually revise the course of study as the class entering in 1922 advances toward graduation; such a procedure u avoid a general reorganization of the curriculum and the confusion attendant thereon. _ During the year, Dr. Alexander E. Cance, Head of the Department of Agricul- al Economics, spent considerable time in Washington at the request of the iN Secretary of Agriculture to assist in the Agricultural Conference called by Presi- dent Harding and to advise relative to the organization of research work in the } 7 Federal Bureau of Markets. _ From an address recently made by Professor H. B. Dorner, Head of the De- | Sbartment of Floriculture at the University of Illinois it appears that the Depart- : at of Floriculture at this institution is the oldest separate Department of Flori- ilture in the United States; that it ranks third in the amount of glass used in iricultural work, being surpassed by the University of Illinois and Iowa State College; and that it ranks third in amount of funds appropriated for floricultural work, being exceeded by Cornell University and the University of Illinois. - The laboratory space available for the Department of Horticultural Manu- factures is so restricted that this last year it became necessary to place a limit ipon the number of students electing courses in this Department. The relief Phich will be secured by a laboratory for this Department is greatly desired both by students and members of the Department. ? f | : | 10 - AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. (Feb. The Infirmary. Dr. Marshall, who has charge of the infirmary, again calls attention m the present inadequate facilities afforded by the present infirmary accommodations — and says in part: j The quarters are inadequate. I sincerely and fervently hope some way may be found to provide the main hospital. The number of patients in sickness other than communi- ~ cable is growing, each year making a continuous demand upon our facilities. Further, — these wards we now have or cottages designed for infectious diseases were never in- ~ tended for permanent dwellings for nurses or living quarters. q The coming of young ladies to the institution has brought new difficulties, for the — two sexes cannot be handled together with economy and satisfaction in the present ~ cottages. When some drastic epidemic, as, the influenza, comes, I dread to think of ~ what may happen. If death occurs to a sick student lodged at. Draper Hall or else- where we are likely to be blamed for years after. Some action is very much needed. i SOME IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS. For some while it has been my custom to treat in this annual report some one ~ | subject that seems to call for major discussion; on the other hand we are facing : a number of questions of considerable consequence. As briefly as possible, I wish to call some of these to your attention. ¥ Administrative Relations. You will recall that I appeared in August, 1921, before the Commission on State ~ Administration and Expenditures and made a frank statement concerning the operations of the present laws as they affect the College. We all hoped that the ~ Commission would make recommendations which, if enacted into law, would give © us substantial relief, and it was a matter of great regret that this did not happen. | The present plan of control, as applied to an educational institution, is based on a | fundamental fallacy, namely, that centralized control of expenditures secures © greatest efficiency. We do not ask to be relieved of overhead restraint. We have © never even suggested that we be free from responsibility to the Legislature. We do ask for a set of laws and regulations that will give us complete responsibility of | management, under such audits, reviews, inspections, or checks as are thought © necessary both to the public good and to our own effectiveness. B ‘* A State University.’’ The State Commission on Technical and Higher Education visited the college on November 15, spending the entire day here. We outlined to the Commission © the present agricultural work of the College, indicated the importance of develop-~ ing the institution more completely as a “food-supply college”, and stressed the” wisdom of conserving and promoting these two aims of the College even if en- largement of scope in other fields might eventually seem wise. We cannot, 0: f | course, anticipate the report of the Commission, but it is obvious that if there is to be in Massachusetts any increase in facilities for higher education at publie | expense, the policy and probably the scope of the College will be markedly if not profoundly affected. Scholarship and Student Activities. A committee of the Alumni, a committee of the Faculty, and a cpeaaibee of students considered last year the whole problem of ‘‘student activities”, and t report is now under consideration by the Faculty with reference to the possib of definite changes in some of our plans. Most teachers probably have a fee —:1923.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 11 _ that athletics and other student activities are overstressed in these days. Possibly _ the truth is not that too much time and thought are given to these matters, but _ that not enough time and enthusiasm are given to scholarship. With most students. there is probably a good deal of time now wholly wasted, going neither to the ac- _ tivities on the one hand nor to the studies on the other. Interchurch Student Secretary. We all admit the importance of religious education, and yet we find it difficult to _ agree upon a plan which will be effective and still not offend religious beliefs or _ differences. This, of course, is especially true in a state institution. For many years _ now our system of morning chapels, weekly assemblies, and the plan of Sunday _ chapels for a part of the year voted by the student body, seems to have worked very well. A student is excused from all of these exercises if his request is based upon religious scruples. However, it has long been felt that this system was not - enough, and various efforts have been made to provide more fully both religious education and counsel. Many students these days are puzzled concerning reli- gious questions, and they need a friendly, wise man whose business it is to try to help them. Various national church boards finally agreed to assist financially, _ provided funds could be raised from other private sources, such as students, alumni, _ and friends of the College. This has been done and the Advisory Board employed Rev. John B. Hanna to become the Interchurch Student Secretary. Mr. Hanna entered into his task with great enthusiasm and the plan gives promise of being a’ great success. It involves the College in no expense. Course of Study. Already, in the review of the year, reference has been made to the report of the _ Alumni Committee on course of study and as indicated steps have already been _ taken to carry out some of the recommendations. It is slow work revising a course _ of study. It must be done cautiously. There are many practical details to recon- _ cile as well as fundamental considerations to be agreed upon, particularly at the _ time when educational principles are. under sharp discussion with wide divergence of views, is it important to make haste slowly. It is sometimes thought that State supported institutions may well have lower _ standards of scholarship than endowed institutions. I do not agree. It should be the policy of a State supported institution to give as wide an opportunity as possi- _ ble for students to enter, but the standards of work within the institution itself ~ should be high, if not exacting. At any rate, the diploma and degree from a State _ institution should certify quite as much in the way of thoroughness and quality of _ work as a similar.degree from any other institution. In connection with this problem of course of study, I may say that personally that I have had a growing - conviction that the first year of attendance in the four-year course should be made a thoroughly effective year of testing for the student. The course should be re- _ quired in all particulars and it should be a time of adjustment for the student in _ order that he may make up deficiencies, choose his major line of study, learn how _ to master his lessons, to make and maintain his personal program and schedule, _ and in other ways to orient himself. He should have the best of teaching and _ sufficient personal counsel and guidance to lead him, if possible, to “find him- _ self”. No student should be admitted to work in the upper three years unless he ni gives promise of reasonably successful prosecution of the work there required. Graduate School Problems. _ A special committee on the work of the Graduate School was appointed last _ spring, and the graduate staff has accepted their report. No radical changes are “made. One of the two principal recommendations looked toward the broadening and liberalizing of the course of study for graduate degrees, thus preventing too ‘Narrow specialization; and the other accepted a policy of granting special degrees the staff may make their own personal plans for taking advantage of it. { 12 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. for rather specialized professional work: we already give, for example, the degree of “Master of Landscape Gardening.” It is proposed to offer these special profes- sional degrees only as there seems to be a rather clearly developed recognition of what is essentially a new profession. ' Alumni Endowment Committee. Before the war a committee of alumni was appointed to consider the question of private gifts to the institution. The committee has recently been reconstituted with Professor C. 8. Plumb ’82 as chairman, and plans are under way for rather thorough organization of the work of pressing the claims of the College upon in- dividuals. There is no reason why private gifts coming from people interested in education and especially in agriculture, should not be available. A growing edu- cational institution always has needs far beyond any possible source of income. Moreover, there are always in a State institution many demands which it is diffi- cult to supply from State funds, sometimes because they are insufficient, sometimes because there is a prejudice against such expenditures. Moreover, as a college of agriculture like any other institution renders such a fundamental service to the welfare of society, there is the same argument for private gifts as there is on behalf of the endowed institution. It is believed that many individuals quite outside of the alumni body, once they understand the work and needs of an institution like ours, may be persuaded either directly or in their wills to make substantial eifts to the institution. Professional Improvement. I trust that your Board of Trustees may soon announce a plan for encouraging the professional improvement of members of the staff. We have here a problem of first importance, not only because we need to give the members of the staff every chance to keep growing, but because with the scale of salaries as it is we must give — some measure of real and substantial encouragement. Details of such a plan are of importance, but the main thing is to have a general policy in operation so that Town Representatives. - Two years ago we inaugurated a plan of having a College representative in each town and city of the Commonwealth. At the present time we have two hundred and sixty-four. These men are, of course, serving without any perquisites and are ~ rendering a real service to the College. We send them monthly bulletins of in- formation. We ask them to let us know about prospective students, to distribute publicity material now and then, and this winter we hope to bring them together into county groups, in order to tell them more about the College. Many of these ~ town representatives are alumni of the College. Administrative Organization. The administrative officers of the college are now considering a long list of sug- — gestions looking toward the need of changes of organization of the institution on ~ the administrative side. We are endeavoring to determine the function of different — bodies such as the faculty, administrative officers, committees, etc., as well as to — work out a plan of operation that shall minimize machinery while at the same time ~ giving a business-like and effective administration. Self-study of Expenditures and Questions of Reducing Costs. There is little doubt but during the past few years the per capita cost of instruc- ~ tion at the College has increased. Some of this is due to higher prices for supplies — as well as an increased use of supplies. The College coal bill for example, in 1913_ was $20,000, in 1923 it is estimated that it will be $72,000. Increase in salaries, — thoroughly justified, nevertheless means increased per capita cost of instruction. — i 1 — -1923.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 13), The appreciably smaller attendance in four year work since the war is one of the _ material causes of this increase. We of the faculty are not unmindful of this situa- - tion and not only are we endeavoring to be as economical as possible, but material _ has been gathered in a sort of self-study of the institution which we hope may be useful in discovering opportunities for still further savings without impairing the - quality of the work. : The Building Program. _ Until the future policy of the College and its place in the system of education _ in the Commonwealth is more fully determined it may not be possible to carry out _ the plan which we have discussed in former years of announcing a long-term build- _ ing program. But we do need to consider at this time what shall be the next one _ of the larger buildings which we shall ask of the Legislature. There seem to be three of particular importance, namely, library, gymnasium and armory, and dormitories. I have taken occasion to sound alumni sentiment and find it some- _what divided, with the majority perhaps in favor of dormitories as the first need. Students favor the gymnasium. Personally I favor the gymnasium. Massachusetts Food Supply Program. _ Inmy report for 1917 I called attention to the growing conviction on the campus _ that the approach to the problem of agriculture must be made from the stand- point of the consumer, and that consequently not only would our policy be affected _ by such considerations but that also this institution was particularly well equipped _and must hereafter consider it its duty to become essentially a food supply insti- tution. Evidences of the soundness of this decision continue to multiply. The United States Department of Agriculture has recently instituted rather _ thorough-going studies of consumption as well as distribution. The great farmers’ organizations are at present particularly concerned in economical methods of - distributing farm products, and manufacturers are beginning to show concern _ over the place of food supply in their problem. Nearly two years ago a campus - committee was organized to study this whole question by, making an analysis of the problem itself and then indicating what this institution can and should do in _ the premises. I trust that the committee report will be made available during the coming year. I regard this move as one of the most significant that the College has ever taken, not only from the standpoint of increased possibilities of usefulness - to the Commonwealth, but because of enlargement of scope and breadth of the - work of the College itself. , LEGISLATIVE BUDGET, 1923. Projects for Permanent Improvement. Chemistry Laboratory, $150,000. — 'The Legislature of 1922 appropriated $150,- 000 for the construction and equipment of a Chemistry Laboratory with the _ understanding that an additional appropriation of $150,000 would be made by the Legislature of 1923. On this basis, contracts have been awarded for the construc- _ tion of the laboratory, and the work is at this date well advanced. _. Laboratory for Horticultural Manufactures, $38,000.— The importance of util- _ izing various by-products of the farm which formerly were wasted, such as fruit _ and vegetables, was emphasized during the war, and under the direction of Prof, W. W. Chenoweth of this institution farmers came to see whereby this saving ‘could to advantage be made permanent. In order to give adequate instruction in the preservation of fruit and vegetable products, a new laboratory building is essential. The plans provide for a one-story building of inexpensive construction, ~ which will furnish laboratories for the various phases of this work. _ The pressing need for this building is now generally understood. However, some of the principal considerations may be recapitulated as follows: 1. The department of horticultural manufactures now has its work widely dis- _ tributed in four buildings, viz. Flint Laboratory, Wilder Hall, French Hall, and a 14 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. | [Feb. © workshop on the hill near the cold storage aus This wide scattering of the work — is obviously very detrimental to it. } 2. The principal teaching is done at Flint Laboratory in rooms which were ~ designed for the use of the dairy department. The dairy department needs these rooms and would like to see the department of horticultural manufactures cared for elsewhere as soon as possible. j _ 3. The present quarters are entirely inadequate for the teaching work. On account of the limited space the department has been compelled to refuse admis- sion to numbers of students. This is perhaps the only department in the institu- tion which has been compelled frequently to refuse admission to students on ac- count of lack of space. All the teaching could be much better organized and more efficiently conducted in a new building designed for this particular work. 3 4. It is highly desirable that vigorous research work be undertaken at the earliest opportunity in the field of fruit and vegetable preservation and the manufacture — of by-products. A strong demand exists for this work among fruit growers, but the subject is equally important to all consumers of food in Massachusetts. ,) 5. The department is now carrying on important extension work, but these ~ extension projects need to be strongly supported by effective work at ‘the college, — and especially by well-directed research work. 4 6. The Massachusetts Fruit Growers’ Association, the Boston Market Garden- a ers’ Association and other organizations have urgently requested this proposed — building. This specific demand from the fruit growers and vegetable growers _ should be squarely met. a Tunnels from the Power Plant to Stockbridge Hall and to First Steam Pit South of — the Power Plant, $39,250. — The principal argument advanced in support of this ~ project is the recommendation made by French and Hubbard, Engineers, who recently made a study of the present heating plan and future development for — the same, “that a tunnel be constructed to Flint Laboratory and Stockbridge Hall — and the piping arranged so that exhaust steam can be used in these buildings. We — are firm believers in tunnels for steam mains of this kind, and believe that when it — is necessary to rearrange the underground piping, that tunnels be constructed. We would recommend this both for economy in the long run and on account of © convenience in repairs and pipe insulation.” b _ At present none of the underground steam lines are enclosed in tunnels. The result is a high cost of maintenance because of the excessive radiation and because | of the difficulty in locating and repairing leaks. Also, at present, the maximum ~ use is not made of exhaust steam; this latter difficulty would be met by the project — here outlined. F Development of the Market Garden Field Station at Waltham, $25,000. — The trustees of the will of the late Cornelia Warren have offered to the college about fifty acres | of land located near the Clematis Brook railroad station in Waltham. This area © is admirably suited for experimental work with vegetable crops. There are about © twenty-three acres of level, uniform, well-drained, upland soil naturally much | better adapted for experimental purposes than is the present area at North Lex- ington; and about fifteen acres of peaty, swamp deposit, typical in many respects of the area of wet land now being reclaimed in many different parts of the State, © primarily as a health measure, but potentially of great importance to agriculture. | In addition, there is the old farmhouse, which may be remodeled to serve as | living quarters for the Field Station foreman, and likewise as administrative head- © quarters for the plant. There are a number of other smaller buildings, some of which can be utilized, others of which may have to be wrecked. Fi The opportunity for more thoroughgoing investigational and demonstrational work in vegetable growing is so apparent that the trustees of the college have ~ accepted this gift. The sum of $25,000 is needed to cover the cost of the initial equipment at the new Field Station, in order that work may be started in the late — fall of 1923. This appropriation is needed to erect a thief-proof wire fence around the plant, to care for the remodeling and moving of one of the smaller buildings now on the place to serve as service headquarters; to build a greenhouse range and heating plant; and to make preliminary repairs on the house and other bul 923) PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 15 ings. In addition, small appropriations will later be needed to care for the draining of the swamp and to make other improvements. By vote of the trustees a bill is being introduced into the legislature authorizing the college to sell the North Lexington plant. It is expected that receipts from the sale of this plant will be approximately $20,000. In effect, therefore, the initial cost to the State of the much larger plant at Waltham, a total of fifty acres as against twelve acres, with increased opportunity for effective work, will be approximately $5,000. Women’s Gymnasium, $15,000.— With the number of women students now attending the college, a gymnasium is becoming constantly more imperative. Lack of gymnasium facilities for girls is in some respects a more pressing problem than lack of similar facilities for men students because for the latter there can be organized outdoor sports of a wide variety. An appropriation of $15,000 would ‘provide a frame gymnasium for women students which would meet our require- ments for a number of years. Addition to Rural Engineering Shops, $15,000. — The demand for instruction in Rural Engineering has greatly increased during the past four years. The Two- _ Year students in particular elect this work in large numbers. In view of the fact that such a large proportion of the instruction is given in laboratories, it is essen- tial that in the interests of economy as well as convenience larger laboratory facili- ties be provided. In the opinion of the head of the department, the present laboratory and shop should be double in size; the appropriation here indicated would provide for an increase of 50% in the floor space of the existing facilities. This additional space would be used for instruction in the care of motors, farm “machinery and in the making of concrete, and for the display of farm machinery and other equipment. Roads, $8,000. — The college is responsible for the upkeep of approximately two miles of road running through its grounds, — a road which is used constantly by the public. Over a section of approximately two thousand feet of this road all the coal which is used at the college is hauled by truck. About half this section was rebuilt with thin macadam several years ago; it is now, however, in poor condition and accordingly no portion of the roads passing through the campus is of first class construction. Negotiations have been entered into with the State Highway Department relative to a plan of co-operation between that department, the town of Amherst, and the college, whereby different sections of the roads pass- ' cu g through college grounds as well as certain roads approaching the college may be used as demonstrations of various types of road construction. In order that a _ beginning may be made on this test and also that a portion of the road bearing ei he heaviest traffic may be placed in suitable condition the sum of $8,000 is re- ‘quested to be expended during the ensuing year. _ Tool Sheds and Garage for Division of Horticulture, $6,000. — At present there 4s no garage in which to keep the service truck operated by the grounds depart- ment; it is stored in a shed with other equipment under conditions which are unsafe _ from the standpoint of fire risk. Furthermore, there is not sufficient shed room to house other equipment such as wagons, sleds, and plows which are used in the fe m operations. If the present tool house were rearranged as is contemplated, the work of the service department could be carried on more satisfactorily and “economically. The plan proposed provides for the rearrangement of an existing a tere in order to provide a larger storage room and for the equipment of a car- penter shop, blacksmith shop, and an automobile repair shop. It would also pro- vide more adequate facilities for the storage of tools and the installation of a suit- able washroom for the workmen. _ Live Stock Replacement, $5,000. — It is necessary to replace a certain number of ive stock each year. Unless this is done, the college herd will deteriorate and the educational effectiveness will thereby be ereatly lessened. A considerable amount of of live stock is sold each year, but in view of the fact that all receipts of the college “are turned into the State treasury, the funds thus derived from the sale of live si tock cannot be used for the purchase of new animals. As a result of this situation hich has continued for four years, a substantial sum of money should be expended ‘ 16 — AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. immediately in this department, and $5,000 is requested for such expenditures during the coming year. Calf Barn, $5,000. — This appropriation is requested in order to construct a wing to the south of the present hay barn and of the same dimensions as the present young stock stable, but fitted with pens for a calf barn. This addition to the barns is Wee ia essential for the proper care of the large number of young stock which — is carried. Improvements at the Tillson Farm, $5,000. — Following out the project submitted a year ago and for which the legislature of 1922 made an appropriation of $5,000, a — second appropriation of like amount is requested to further the development of Tillson Farm as a poultry plant for experimental use. This last year four unit houses, 30 x 30 feet, were built, a water supply was developed, and the old cellar on the place was repaired and roofed over to serve as an incubator cellar. The appropriation here requested is to cover the cost of the station requests for living quarters for the foreman of the experimental farm, for feed room, shop, operating room, office and storage; and for a laying house for pullets, the total cost of these being estimated at $5,000. Since there will be at various times from 1,500 to 4,000 birds kept on the farm, the necessity of having the foreman resident at the plant will of course be apparent ’to all. This appropriation will not cover all of the require- ments of the new plant, but will put it in condition for effective use this coming year. Superintendent’s Cottage at Farm, $5,000.— The barns where the sheep and swine are housed are located a considerable distance from the main stock barns. | The shepherd who has charge of the sheep and swine lives a mile distant. Fre- quently, during the winter months especially, the caretaker should be sufficiently © near the stock to enable him to visit them late at night, early in the morning, and if necessary, frequently during the night. This close care can be insured only in case the superintendent lives near the barn. Fencing Fruit Plantations, $3,000. — Because of lack of funds, the fencing of — the large fruit plantations owned by the college has been deferred. As a result, a good deal of fruit is stolen each year in spite of the fact that the orchards are pro- ~ tected by a watchman during the season when the fruit is ripening. The expendi- ture of the sum here indicated would seem to be justified on the grounds of economy. — New Walks, $2,500.— For a number of years practically no money has been spent in the construction of new walks or renewing old walks. In order to meet | the more imperative demands for walk construction a sum of $2,500 is requested | for this purpose for the ensuing year. With this appropriation it is proposed to — construct a cinder walk 6 ft. wide from the Physics Building to the East Experi- © ‘ment Station, a distance of 960 ft. estimated at approximately $700. It is also | proposed to re-lay a strip of worn out tar walk and substitute a granolithic walk from the Drill Hall north to South College and North College, length approxi- | mately 800 ft., width 6 ft. and estimated to cost $1,800. ‘a Grading and Draining Addition to Athletic Field, $2, 500. — It is planned to extend the present athletic field south on existing college property a distance of 300 feet. | This will make possible the installation of several tennis courts, and the extension of the present recreation field to accommodate a much larger number of students — than is now possible. The entire project cannot be completed with an appropria- tion of $2,500 although this amount will meet the immediate requirements. A oe ra requested of $1,000 for the purchase of about sixteen acres of land ee a | the Cranberry Station at East Wareham, for the purpose of providing opportunity — berries, and other experimental work of a similar nature. A part of this sixteen ; acres is Aen to a pond, and is a favorable site for the construction of a ona boundary of the present plant and to serve as a source of upland peat, sand, antl | fuel. KENYON L. BUTTERFIELD, President. -1923)] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 17 REPORTS OF OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS. Report of the Acting Dean. On account of the absence of Dean Lewis it becomes my duty to present the _ Dean’s report for the year. Dean Lewis was granted a six months’ leave of absence _ beginning October 1. He has used part of this time for a much needed rest. Re- cently he has been studying administrative practices in other state institutions. The last half of his leave he intends to spend in travel and study abroad. He is _ expected to return in April, 1923. _ During the first part of the period this report covers Dean Lewis was Acting President. His duties demanded practically all the time and energy he could ~ command, but his helpful experienced counsel made my work as Acting Dean - considerably easier. _ The year opened auspiciously. We began by getting our students into classes without delay. In this matter the Supervisor of the Schedule, Professor Julian, rendered invaluable assistance. Text-books were on hand, section lists posted and schedules made up with dispatch. Very soon after the opening of college a Freshman teacher’s meeting was called at which time attention was directed to special cases of Freshmen and suggestions as to general procedure were pointed out. Possibly never before did a term’s work start off more promptly and run more smoothly. The result was very few failures at the end of the first term. ! _ However, during the second and third terms the number of failures showed a _ marked increase. One reason for this increase may be traced to the effects of the _“rushing”’ season. This came at the beginning of the second term, immediately _ upon the return of the students from their Christmas vacation. Although the _ season was not.a long one it was sufficiently intense to unbalance the regular routine and the setback suffered by many Freshmen and even by members of the other - classes was never fully overcome. So harmful and unsatisfactory were the results _ that it was decided to change the time for and the length of the ‘‘rushing season,” _ by confining it to the first three days of the fall term. This new plan seems to work _ well and is likely to become our permanent practice. Certainly satisfactory class _ work and “rushing”’ cannot be carried on at the same time. _ ‘The Freshman advisory work was continued during the first term in accordance _ with the practice inaugurated several years ago. In this work I was assisted very _ ably by Professors Parker, Rand, Moore and Julian. Acting on the principle that _ gradual release from authoritative supervision must prepare the student for self- ‘Supervision, the efforts of the adviser in behalf of his advisees were materially _ reduced during the second term and almost abandoned during the third term. _ Of course counsel, sympathy and friendliness towards them were never relinquished. _ While a start has been made there still remains much to be done to give our new _ men the right point of view as to relative importance of so-called extra curriculum activities and studies, respectively. When parents back home often have the ' Wrong viewpoint, it is not surprising that a large number of our incoming students _ should have the wrong attitude. _ Anything that we can do by better teaching, closer contact, and wiser direction will not be amiss because it will tend to correct those tendencies and viewpoints in students which, if allowed to grow unnoticed, will sadly hamper, if not entirely annul, the effectiveness of what the college should give to every student. A con- tented student usually does good work — he profits by what the college has to Offer. Hence our interest in a student must be broad enough to concern itself with the problems of housing, feeding, class relations, habits of study, regularity, punc- 18 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. tuality and effective sympathetic teaching. Too much care cannot be had in the selection of teachers of Freshmen. During the year we lost the services of our head clerk, Miss Gertrude Hollis, who was connected with the Dean’s Office for more than two years. She was a faithful and careful worker and her resignation meant a distinct loss. To fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Hollis we were fortunate indeed to secure Miss Grace Gallond who came to us from the Dairy Department. By her tactful and thorough manner she has already demonstrated her fitness for handling the innumerable office details in a sympathetic and satisfactory manner. No distinctly new policies were inaugurated during the year. Routine matters in connection with scholarship, class attendance, committees, adjustment of sched- ules and conferences with students on numerous and varied problems more than comfortably filled every available minute which I could command. The practice of keeping office hours at the rooms of the Department of Educa- tion, State House, Boston, every Thursday, started last year by Dean Lewis, was continued and the large number of conferences sought by those interested in the — college and the opportunities which it offers fully justify the expenditure of what- ever time and money may be necessary. In addition to the work in the Dean’s Office I continued to carry my regular teaching schedule in the Department of Mathematics. This direct contact with students in the class room is a real help to one who counsels and directs them 1 in matters of scholarship and conduct. The year’s work was pleasant. To assist the students of slow mind, to en- courage those who had a bad start, and to spur on the fellows inclined to loaf kept — the duties sufficiently varied to make the work interesting. In my efforts I enjoyed — the almost unanimous co-operation of the faculty and splendid support from the © student body. Attendance records and scholarship reports as a geners rule were sent in regu- larly. Such support must be whole hearted if the Dean’s office is to function as it should. Every effort is being made to use effectively every report asked for. — Several changes in absence reporting which have a tendency to tighten up on © attendance will be made this coming year. ; ; | = Wiui1aAmM L. MaAcHMERr, Acting Dean. Report of the Director of the Experiment Station. The year just passing has shown distinct improvement in the land equipmeae . of the Experiment Station, but no corresponding change in its human equipment. ~ There has been increased realization of the fact that the starting scale of station — salaries, at least, has been and is too low to encourage men to either prepare for ~ or enter station work. It has not yet been possible to increase materially the scope — of station work, so as to enable it to give more service in relation to the food supply — problem of the State. There has been but little change in the conduct of regulative ; work. LAND EQUIPMENT. The action of the last legislature i in appropriating money for the purchase of thal Hl ‘William P. Brooks Experimental Farm” fills a need of long standing, and for — the first time gives to the Experiment Station land facilities for the investigation 7 of problems of tobacco and onion culture as well as of other problems of impor- > tance to the State at large. This advance is supplemented by the offer of gift from | the trustees of the will of the late Miss Cornelia Warren, which places at the dis- 7) posal of the Station, through the College, an area of about fifty acres of land situated © in Waltham, and very well suited for experimental work on vegetable crops. Two important soil types are embraced in this new area, and the location is in many | respects superior to that of the present experimental plant at North Lexington. — Finally, the action of the Trustees in approving a plan whereby the College farm may be used for certain types of experimental work gives a certain degree of elas: ticity to the work of the Station which previously it did not have. i - 1923.) PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No, 31. 19 A PAsTuRE EXPERIMENT STATION. These additions to equipment fill most of the larger and more important land needs of the Station. There remains, however, one most important item, — a _ Pasture Experiment Station. Good pasture has always been a mainstay to the _ dairy industry. When our pastures were in their prime they contributed very largely to farm production and family income. At present, however, they are rapidly going to decay, and becoming liabilities instead of assets. One reason for the ability of the Vermont dairy farmer to enter and successfully compete in the home market of Massachusetts farmers lies in the efficiency of his pastures. Of course, it may be that the problem cannot be solved economically, but not until every attempt has been made should the State give up this source of potential food. _ As soon as existing land facilities are organized on a research basis, the matter of securing land for work of this kind will be pressed. The proposed farm should be _ located either in the highlands of Worcester County, in the heart of its dairy section; or in the hill country west of the Connecticut. THE HuMAN EQUIPMENT OF THE STATION. _ Unfortunately, progress in human equipment has not kept pace with that in - land equipment. A year ago I specified five new positions, among all of those re- quested, as being essential for the economical conduct of work already under way. Not one of these requests has been granted. It is unnecessary for me to reiterate statements already made in support of plans presented. From the standpoint of ‘institutional policy, however, it may be well to admit the fact that existing work cannot be efficient unless some of our departments are more adequately manned. We should not attempt to do some of the work which we are now doing unless we have some assurance that deficiencies in personnel may be remedied in the fairly near future. THE SALARY SCALE. At the present time difficulty in maintaining personnel is being caused by the _low salary offered as a starting point in station service. Agricultural research as “now organized differs radically from the “agricultural experimentation” of an earlier day, and requires more intensively trained men. Research work in disease ’ prevention is replacing that of disease control. Fundamental studies in animal ‘nutrition are supplanting comparative studies in the characteristics and properties of feeding stuffs. Systematic studies in plant and animal breeding, in the light of the new science of genetics, are taking the place of the comparative breed and variety tests of former days. Because of these changes in the character of research work, more is now required of research workers, in the way of fundamental train- ing, than was either necessary or possible in the earlier days of the experiment ‘Stations. Preparation for the work is a long and arduous task. It must be based on four years in regular college course, followed by the equivalent of three years in a graduate school. Interpreted in terms of human values, seven years of a man’s lifetime must be spent in training before a man may be properly equipped to fill anything other than an apprenticeship position in the Experiment Station. Few ‘men will be willing, and fewer still able, to undertake this training unless they feel fe irly certain of suitable rewards. Our present starting point in the salary scale Is so low that there is no encouragement for a man to either prepare for or enter station service. Quite pertinent in this respect is a statement made a year ago by the Director of the Graduate School. He said, ‘Men . . . must be able to solve the problems satisfactorily and not dawdle over them because of lack of training and under- Standing. The limitations in training and education should never be regarded as an excuse.” This statement should be accepted as a fundamental truth; yet in view of the low starting point of station salaries, it is difficult to see how these positions can serve other than apprenticeship functions. 20 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. THE Foop Suppiy SERVICE. During the year attention has been given to the problem of co-ordinating the station research work with the problem of the food supply of the Commonwealth. Analysis of this problem shows the following salient subdivisions: . Production on the farm. . Conservation and prevention of waste. . Transportation. . Storage. . Marketing and distribution of food products. . Utilization of food. > Ore Ne The service of the Station to productive agriculture represents its major service to date. It is not complete; but we can at least say that the machinery for giving full service, or as full as may humanly be expected, is in existence. In the problem of conservation of food already produced, the Station is just beginning to serve. The fact that during the past year thousands of gallons of milk were wasted be- cause of lack of a market for this product in its fluid form; the fact that during the early fall countless bushels of fall apples were wasted because of glut in the market; the fact of waste of even such a staple product as potatoes through disorganization of the market indicates the need of fundamental service of this kind | Notwithstanding this, our Department of Horticultural Manufactures has not — yet commenced to function in a research way. The work on food preservation — represented. by certain fundamental studies in the Department of Microbiology, — first initiated during the War, has languished because of lack of sufficient man ~ power. These facts are cited simply to show the need of service and our inability — to render it. | In the next three subdivisions of the analysis, 1.e., transportation, storage, — marketing and distribution, the Station is Just beginning to serve. It is probably ¥ true that economical transportation, modernizing of marketing\and distribution methods, and the removal of storage from the speculative field to that of real — economic service are as important to the food consumers of the State as is economic ~ production on the farm itself. The matter of equipping the Station so as to under- — _ take this basic work is second to none in importance. a No work has been done at the Station on the problems of food utilization or ~ human nutrition. It may be an open question as to whether the Station is the © organization to undertake this important work. I hardly care to discuss this at ~ this time, other than to state that the problem is most vital to an industrial Com- ~ monwealth such as Massachusetts, far removed from supplies of raw materials — and from the centers of food production. A REGULATIVE WORK. During the year the law governing police control of animal feeds was amended 7 so as to make this activity self-supporting. Operations under the poultry disease ~ elimination law were radically changed, so as to secure better co-ordination of effort © with the Extension Service of the College, and with the purpose of developing | certain centers from which disease-free breeding stock or eggs for hatching might | be secured. Of the fertilizer control law little need be said other than to point out | the fact that the State is at present making a profit on something which should be | no more than self-supporting. This was certainly not contemplated in the original © law, as it was specified that any surplus over the cost of carrying on this regulative —| work should be expended in carrying out field experiments in the use of fertilizers.” Under the present organization such margin is not available to the Station. During ~ the year just past $13,000 were appropriated by the State for the police control — work in fertilizers. The receipts from this service were $16,560. In my opinion 1923. ~ PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 21 q the existing law should either be amended so as to bring to the Station, to be ex- pended as provided for in the original law, full receipts from this police control law; or rebate should be given to manufacturers for the difference between the . actual cost of carrying on the work and the actual receipts. Sipney B. HASKELL, Director of the Experiment Station. Report of the Director of the Extension Service. Few changes in staff, and the steady development of projects have character- ized the work of the past year, which has been the most satisfying since the war. _ This was true not only at the college but in the County Extension services also. _ Serious interruptions of work have been few. Conditions of the agricultural in- _ dustry have been far from satisfying, although some groups have prospered. The rainy season injured many crops, and caused special problems to some, while it helped others. Wherever special problems in production or marketing resulted, special demands were made on the Extension Service to meet them. Few ma- _ terial changes have been made in projects and plans of work, and this is as it should be. Few pieces of project work can be completed in a single season. Emphasis ‘may be shifted as one phase becomes the more important; but continuity is pre- served. In the soils and crops project, for instance, much less time is given to pro- -moting the use of certified seed potatoes when the use becomes more common, and. more time is given to the care of the crop and to protecting it from disease. De- monstrations have increased in number, continuity, and teaching value. Relations _ with the Experiment Station work have continued most friendly, and have been. developed to give greater values to extension teaching. Effective co-operation _ with the resident teaching staff continues. Mailing lists have been revised to eliminate duplication and avoid wastes. Many new publications have been pre- pared, and several older ones rewritten. Periodical publications have been pre- pared and mailed regularly. Over five hundred students were enrolled in corre- ‘spondence courses. Very little was attempted in exhibits because of lack of funds. Extension schools followed the trend toward the short specialized school instead of the longer, diversified session. The rainy haying season reduced attendance at Farmers’ Week, but the work done by the groups which gathered was more effective than ever. Camp Gilbert, for the county champions in Junior Extension work, was an unqualified success. The general camp for boys and girls who paid | ‘their own expenses was omitted for lack of funds. The professional staff at the college numbered nineteen at the beginning of the ' fiscal year. Mrs. Ruth 8. Reed resigned as Clothing Specialist, and Miss Marion L. : Tucker was engaged to fill the position. Mr. Joseph F. Whitney, Specialist in Landscape Gardening, was granted leave of absence and left in the late summer for Europe for further study. Mr. Robert D. Hawley, who resigned in November 1921, returned in September of this year to his former position as supervisor of exhibits, extension schools, and extension courses at the college. No other changes have occurred in the specialist staff at the college. A number of changes in the _ secretarial and clerical staff have caused noticeable retardation of work, but with the close of the year the new staff-members are assuming their responsibilities _ satisfactorily. _ The total professional staff in the counties has numbered approximately fifty. _ Two county agricultural agents and one assistant agent, two county home dem- onstration agents and two assistants, and one assistant county club agent have resigned during the year. __ The financial support of extension work, both at the college and in the counties, has enabled continuance of work without much increase or decrease. County appropriations were in nearly all cases the same as for the preceding years. States Relations funds, assigned by the United States Department of Agriculture to 22 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. _ [Feb. salaries in the counties and at the college remained the same. Regular Smith- Lever funds (Federal) reached their maximum under the law during the Federal fiscal year 1922-1923, and will hereafter remain constant, barring amendments to the appropriating act, or changes in the census return of rural population. Sup- plementary Smith-Lever funds were reduced in total, and may soon be entirely withdrawn. State appropriations enabled us to hold our staff, with no serious — changes. The personal service item would have permitted more use of temporary help on extension schools and special projects, but a reduction of the appropria- tions for maintenance made it unwise to employ help for whose travel expense we had no adequate funds. For a statement of the receipts and expenditures of the Extension Service at the College, may I refer you to the report submitted by the Treasurer of the College. — Detailed report on projects is not attempted here, but will be included in the ceo to the Governor in accordance with the requirements of the Smith-Lever ct. The principal needs of the Extension Service for the coming year are maintenance funds to make more effective the work of the staff; specialists in crop protection, household management, rural engineering and animal disease control; ability to apply revenues to the costs of the projects in which they are earned; and a more liberal and dependable policy in the matter of out-of-state travel. JoHN D. WILLARD, Director of the Extension Service. Report of the Director of the Graduate School. A year ago the writer undertook to deal with “Fundamental Education” in graduate work. At that time he was conscious of certain forces operating in the — general field of secondary and higher formal education to undermine not only . fundamental education but also effective education of the formal nature. There are many of these forces which should be considered but in this instance it will be 3 possible to study only one of several of these forces as an illustration for a group which is more or less conspicuous and pertinent at this time. r There has been developing a habit or a tendency in recent years to use certain ~ euphonistic terms in a subjective and more or less detached manner. In the con- _| text the meaning is not decipherable, it is very vague and indefinite. There enters — into them the spirit of innovation, of newness and of exploitation. The users 4 seem to imply that the ideas have never before been conceived, while they are as | old as history. To mention some of these terms will immediately provide the | pabulum for energetic mental emissions. Some of the many are “personality,” — “service,” “humanism,” “Americanization,” and “democracy.” Most thinkers — will grasp the significance from this limited enumeration. ee: i It is not proposed to castigate such employment of these words or for a minute ~ to assert that their implications, vague as they are, do not accomplish something — of value, but as presented they serve merely as fireflies leading helter-skelter to light the wayfarer through the dense darkness of a labyrinthian life. At the same | time these notions are eating away the supporting structures of a basic education | upon which progress depends because of their transcendent use without objective © anchorage. Agitative propaganda of a purely abstract idea does irreparable injury when it conflagrates and lacks tangible realization as developmental actualities. | When serious matters are demogogized to elicit popular support without having © accepted and tried mechanisms, such as are operable under existing conditions, to | execute the task demanded, chaos and confusion are likely to follow and true” progress turns into reaction. Safe superstructures arise only on firm and satis- — factory foundations. History has repeatedly established this as a truism. It is © the part of formal education to lead into the future through the established truths | of the past and present or, in other words, base every step of advance upon the | sure footing of the tried past or present. If science has contributed naught else, 167) has demonstrated this advancement to be correct. 4 — 1923.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 23 Let us now develop our thoughts concretely by the study of the word “ person- - ality’. When it is said by seemingly sane men that the “personality” of a teacher | is all there is to teaching and an education and that subject-matter does not enter; when a student is led to believe that college life as lived in athletics and student activities is the all of a college career and that class studies have little significance; _ when public school pupils speak derisively of pupils who try to do their assigned duties and who do not spend their evenings in movies and dances, as ‘‘grinds”’, then , there is no alternative in concluding that personality is either misunderstood or education is not a matter of individual study and effort but a monstrosity parading : under false colors. These expressions, of course, must be obviously spontaneous, subjective and whimsical statements made without objective foundation and _ without due reflection. As such, too, they are often repeated and sent along float- ing upon the tide of verbal exchange without further consideration and without challenge. Many believe, few doubt and still fewer weigh the statements at all. Personality has a very distinctive meaning and place. Its nature is dualistic. _ There is the mental self, the ego bound up with the consciousness that finds ex- pression in ‘J am.” In a sense it is an empty or evasive consciousness which man fails to determine fully and which yet exists for every human. Then there is a ~ consciousness of things eztra-mental, extra-self, or extra-ego or a consciousness which incorporates those things which exist beyond or apart from the ego. These eztra- _ impressions reach the mind, perhaps the ego, through the sensations. They acti- _ vate the mental mechanism which reveals itself in the consciousness J am and in turn which gives recognition to the consciousness of those things which have been _ received through the senses. In some manner the ego and the things received 4 coalesce. The babe comes into the world with the mental self or mechanism ready for development. He starts with a mental capacity given by heredity and this mental capacity must be activated. He slowly responds to environment through his sensations. He notices the movement of his fingers, feels his toes, suffers pain, _ smiles when tickled and finally awakes to the fact that he is supported by a body. He becomes conscious of it. This process proceeds from a consciousness of self to companionship, to family, to those without his immediate environs, society, and later to community, state and nation. From the very beginning he has been - accumulating experiences of the objective world in which he finds himself placed. These experiences create as he advances to manhood estate a more or less stable complex, subject to border variation, which represents his personality. Probably built upon an hereditary capacity is a self regulated functioning mechanism which secures its food or fuel or energy out of the materials with which the individual comes in assimilating contact and unifies these materials in accordance with his hereditary capacity, his environment and his real experiences into a personality —a - personified synthesis. . If this is a personality, then constructive human effort is dependent largely upon the objective knowledge growing out of experiences and environment. It is made up of the objective world. If the hereditary mental transmissions were subject to the regulations of man, this aspect of the case would also enter, yet it would enter objectively and not subjectively. As it is there is an assumed simple recognition. | _ Whether a personality is attractive, appealing and possibly influential or in- Spiring to people at large, depends mainly upon the temperament of the individual. ‘Some individuals, as thinkers, look beyond the temperament to the substance which makes for personality and are little influenced by it but there can be no doubt about the values of temperament. Based upon available present knowledge, however, it is probably safe to ascribe temperament to a purely psychological basis. _ The brutish, snarling, cunning, snapping, bristling, creeping, barking, chirping, singing, frolicking, playful, purring and fawning qualities are animal in origin. Man has them, too. While they influence personality they are not the substance of personality at all unless they become a part by objective incorporation through training. _ Great personalities appear in history, biography, literature, science, art, busi- ness and in all lines of effort. They are found everywhere. The percentage in edu- 24 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. cational institutions is probably no greater than elsewhere. Young andadultminds ~ are stimulated by them and draw from each those features which appeal and use them in producing a composite ideal of their own. But these personalities are formed largely out of objective or material matters and experiences which are utilized for constructive purposes. The wider these experiences or the greater the material experiences or education, the greater the personality provided mental capacity exists for receiving and creating unification or synthesis. If this were not true, how would it be possible to account for self-educated men who have little if any personal instruction; for the student who gains success by application when his neighbor has the same personal contacts but fails; for the continuous mental development of men after they leave college when their real education seems to begin; for the values of mere reading which we all seem to accept? Why is that subject matter is undergoing division after division until specialization startles us? Why is it that pedagogic methods in subject-matter — receive so much attention? Why is it that so many courses are established? Why — is it that certain courses are considered necessary to attain a certain objective? Why is it that many men who are following specific professions or vocations re- gret that they did not pursue certain pertinent subjects while in college? Why are specialists employed? Do not all of these point to the very large part objective — study exerts upon the experiences and environment of man, not only upon his ~ value as a man but likewise his personality which is his larger and expanded self. Subject matter, of course, to be really significant and intrinsically worth-while must be intimately understood to be the basis for judgments and the material for reasoning out of which springs wisdom. Perception, understanding, judgments, reasoning and wisdom may be graphically represented as synthesized in personality. Much could be gained were it within the scope of this article to take up the other ~ terms for the benefit of assigning their present applications. To follow the con- ~ cepts of service from primitive conditions to its present ephemeral agitative em- — ployment; to study the similarity of humanism as it existed in the days when it — was proper to ‘do unto others as you would have others do unto you”; to parallel ~ the liberty which was a branch of bigotry in the days of our Puritan fathers and — the liberty which stands for Americanization, as it is measured by our “dollar” — era; to understand a democracy which is idealistic as long as one’s own ideas pre- © vail and his faction is in control but when they do not prevail or control, blindness, ignorance and class prejudice dominate — let us repeat, this would perhaps fur- — nish enlightening and profitable study. The general difficulty seems to lie in a © chimerical and evanescent usage of these terms and the detachment of the ideas ~ from bases which have been already materially established by experiences. Accre-— tive growth upon that which has been already created has been totally forgotten _ in an enthusiasm to start a consuming spiritual conflagration without any real sub- ~ stance to feed the flames. It would be a great advantage to recall that science © moves ahead cautiously by building critically and experimentally upon the concrete ~ experiences of the past and present. q The whole matter centers in following one of two paths in penetrating the future: revolution or accretive progress. Education, on the whole, should be concerned — with the latter only and its results, should furnish the stable basis of life and natural . growth. Revolution, on the other hand, is an attempt to disorganize what already ~ exists without eradual adjustment, to kill off our enemies which if carried to the | extreme would reduce our population to a single individual and perhaps wipe it ~ out completely, to reduce to primitive conditions which have been the product of ~ centuries, and, in short, to create human anarchy. Everything that can be done > to forestall unnatural or human turmoil and create civilizing stability should be the function of education, plodding and toiling at the foundations of society and not through its powwows. 4 CHARLES E. MARSHALL, _ Director of the Graduate School. ee ee f 1923.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 25 Report of the Director of Short Courses. The status of short course work during the past year has been very satisfactory from the standpoint of administration. Reasonable financial support has been granted by the legislature. The number of students registered in all courses is normal; the slight decrease in the entering class of the Two-Year Course for Sep- tember, 1922, being due to the increase in tuition for non-resident students and to the elimination of the special unit courses for ex-service men. The percentage of non-resident students, exclusive of Federal trainees, for the entering class of 1921 was approximately fourteen; the percentage for the entering class of 1922 was nine. Your attention is called especially to the following items in this report: — (1) Recommendation for supervision of project work of students who have finished the Two-Year Course. (2) Recommendation for the employment of a supervisor of oral a written English in the Two-Year Course. (3) The need for housing of a part of the student group now enrolled in the college. Courses DISCONTINUED. a Teachers’ Courses. —In 1918 the State Department of Education, at the request of some of the school superintendents in the western part of the state, offered at the Massachusetts Agricultural College during the summer professional courses in elementary subjects intended for public school teachers. The organ- ization of these courses was in the nature of an experiment to determine whether or not there was such a demand for this type of work as to justify the State De- partment of Education making provision for it in some institution in Western Massachusetts. These courses were offered at the Massachusetts Agricultural College because the college was already maintaining a summer school. It was understood at the time that in the event there was a real need for this type of work the courses would be transferred to one of the normal schools in the western part of the state. The expense of the courses was borne by the State Department of Education; the college co-operated only in administration. The registration from the beginning demonstrated that there was a real demand. The total enrollment in all courses offered at the college was about 350. Approximately one-half of this number was enrolled in teachers’ special subjects. In the summer of 1922 the courses _ were transferred to the normal school at North Adams. The college offered during the past summer its regular four weeks’ summer school with an enrollment of 170 students. This number shows a slight increase over the enrollment in previous years in those courses offered by the college. B. Unit Courses for Ex-Service Men. — The special unit courses for men dis- _ abled in the military and‘naval service of the United States offered by the college _ ever since the close of the war were discontinued June 30th, 1922. The Federal _ Government has now made such provision as to make this service of the college - unnecessary. REORGANIZATION OF THE Two-YEAR COURSE. The Two Year Course has been reorganized so that it is now possible for a student to devote the major part of his time to one of seven lines of work. These are animal husbandry, dairy, poultry, floriculture, horticulture, pomology, and vegetable gardening. The number of subjects that the student may take has been reduced to four. The student recites in each subject five times a week. The student chooses a group of subjects when he chooses a major, but once having elected that group there are practically no other electives. This plan has greatly reduced the cost of administration, and at the same time has made for greater efficiency. 26 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Feb. ORGANIZATION OF NEW COURSES. Professor H. C. Judkins of the Dairy Department has organized four new short courses in dairy manufactures. These are given during the winter school. Each course continues for approximately ten days. The entire time of the student is devoted to some phase of dairy manufactures. The course for nurserymen or- ganized last year by Professor Frank A. Waugh was promptly filled. The college is co-operating in the administration of this course with the New England Nursery- men’s Association, the Massachusetts Nurserymen’s Association and the Connecti- cut Nurserymen’s Association. The course is limited to students who have al- ready had some practical experience in nursery work. Plans are now under way for the organization of a similar course for the training of gardeners. SUPERVISION OF PROJECT WORK AND PLACEMENT TRAINING. The six months’ farm experience required of all Two Year students has proved to be one of the most valuable features of the course. The purpose of the Two Year Course is to train young men and women for agriculture; for the ownership of farms rather than for paid positions on farms. The most critical time in the life of the student is when he first attempts to apply for himself in a farm business enterprise what he has learned. At that time he needs and should have the advice of an experienced man who is personally interested in his success. I would suggest a further extension of the plan now followed in placement training by the employ- ment of a man whose particular business it would be to advise with and continue the instruction of graduates of the course who are going into farming for themselves. We need a part of the time of this man anyway for the supervision of the men during the six months of placement training. Mr. Viets, who has proved to be a very ~ capable energetic supervisor, is unable at the present time to supervise the work as ~ carefully as it should be during the time that the men are in the field. | ee ow Ss Ty, . SUPERVISION OF ENGLISH. The students in the Two Year Course should have some supervision in the use of oral and written English. I do not wish to have formal courses in English of- fered. This plan would not meet the needs. The students will, in my judgment, derive the greatest benefit if they are held strictly accountable in every class for written and oral work. We can accomplish this by employing a man whose par- ticular task it will be to advise, correct, and, if necessary, discipline a student who does not make a reasonable effort to improve his written and oral English in all ~ classes. HOovusING. I can but repeat at this time a statement I have made several times — that there is a real need for the housing of a part of the student body on the campus. ~ I would suggest that if there be a dormitory it be for four-year men. I do not ~ think our two-year men would take very kindly to dormitory life, but the dormitory would make other rooms in town available for the Two-Year students.

Resignations and Retirements. During the year two members of our teaching staff reached the age of seventy and retired as required by State law. _ Professor Wiliam R. Hart left our service March 3lst. He joined the staff in 1907 as Professor and Head of the Department of Agricultural Education. This _ was the first institution in the country to recognize Agricultural Education as a separate department. Professor Hart soon became recognized as one of the aggressive and sane thinkers in the field of agricultural education. He did more than any other individual in the State to broadcast the idea of Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs and to organize them for work. Among the four-year students he always _ stimulated a keen interest in education. Prior to 1907 there were probably less than a dozen M. A. C. men teaching in Massachusetts. Of the graduates of the last sixteen years (1908 to 1923) 122 are teaching in Massachusetts, 108 are in schools or colleges outside of Massachusetts and 35 are engaged in Extension teaching. It has been said of Professor Hart that he “ had the clearest vision of the fundamental basis of vocational training of any man engaged in work dealing with the theory of such training. This was openly recognized by many. He held steadfastly to his ideal of what his department should be and never wavered under the most discouraging circumstances.” Professor W. 8. Welles, who joined our staff in 1919, has been made Head of the Department of Agricultural Education. Professor Harry N. Glick has been brought into the Department to fill the vacancy caused by Professor Hart’s re- tirement. Professor Glick was raised on an Illinois farm and has had wide ex- perience in educational work; he has taught school many years and has pursued graduate study in education at the University of Illinois. Dr. Charles Wellington retired May 4th. A graduate of the class of 1873, he returned to teach in the Department of Chemistry in 1885. From 1882 to 1885 he studied in Germany, receiving the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Gottingen in 1885: He was one of the first chemists trained by the late Dr. Goessmann of whom Dr. Wellington was a loyal disciple. Dr. Wellington gave 38 years of faithful service to the College, during which time he won the respect and love of a host of M. A. C. men. Arthur N. Julian, who has been teaching German since 1912 and who has been studying Chemistry for three or four years, has been transferred to the Department of Chemistry as Assistant Professor, to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Dr. Wellington. On August 31, Professor S. M. Salisbury resigned as Professor and Head of the Department of Animal Husbandry. Professor Salisbury joined our staff in 1919 and has maintained the high standing of this department established by Professor MeNutt and Professor McLean. Professor Salisbury left to accept a position in the Extension Service of the College of Agriculture at the Ohio State University. Near the close of the fiscal year, Harold F. Tompson, Professor and Head of the Department of Vegetable Gardening, resigned in order to devote his at- 4 ; P.D. 31. tention to the supervision of his market gardening farm at Seekonk, Mass. Professor Tompson graduated from the Massachusetts Agricultural College in 1905; served as instructor in market gardening here for two and one-half years, and after further experience in teaching and in practical work, in 1914, was called back as Head of the Department. In addition to directing the resident teaching in Vegetable Gardening, he had charge of the Market Garden Field Station at Hast Lexington; he assisted in the selection of the site and planned the program for the demonstration work there. He has been eminently suc- cessful in meeting the needs of the market gardening industry as they have been developed in the vicinity of Boston and his service has been uniformly approved by the market gardeners. In September, Professor James A. Foord resigned as Head of the Division of Agriculture and will, as soon as his successor is appointed, devote his entire time to the Department of Farm Management. Professor Foord has been Head of the Division of Agriculture since 1907, during which time, from a small de- partment, the Division, as it is now organized, has been built up, both with respect to personnel and to buildings. During this time Professor Foord has had charge of the details of this large development in which he has rendered a most conscientious and highly painstaking service. On August 25, 1923, Newton Wallace, who from 1896 to 1917 had charge of the power plant and served as electrician and engineer of the College, died at Huntington, Mass. For many years he was a conspicuous figure on the campus and to him is due the credit for the early development of the central heating plant, laying out of steam, water and sewer mains, and other problems con- nected with the supplying of light and power for the various buildings. Improvements and New Construction. The Legislature of 1923, as was contemplated in 1922, made an appropriation of $150,000 for the completion of the Chemistry Laboratory. Owing to labor — and other difficulties, work on this building has progressed very slowly. It is doubtful whether the building will be completely ready for occupancy before the summer of 1924. i The appropriation of $10,500 for roads and walks has been used on “ Th Olmsted Road” in constructing a road with stone base and asphalt surface, — from the entrance to the campus at Pleasant Street, extending a distance of 1300 ' feet; and for the construction of a cement sidewalk parallel with this road. For obvious reasons it seemed desirable to locate the new walk north of the row of trees, extending along this road; this made necessary the extension of the bridge across the stream. The result is entirely satisfactory and commends itself — to all interested. The Division of Highways of the State Department of Public — Works supervised the construction of this road; this arrangement insured us — the maximum of efficiency and economy. ~ The other special appropriations of 1923 for live-stock, for additional build- ings at the Tillson Farm, for service buildings for the Division of Horticulture © and for a farmhouse to replace the one destroyed by fire in December 1922, have — been expended for the purposes specified. | 7 ~ Commencement. Owing to a feeling on the part of students that they were placed at a dis- — advantage in securing summer work by the late Commencement scheduled for — 1923, the Trustees voted to dispense with the spring vacation, cut down the length i of the spring term to eleven weeks and close the institution for the summer — vacation June 11. Accordingly, the usual commencement exercises were held ~ from Friday to Monday, June 8 to 11. The commencement address on June 11 — was delivered by Honorable W. N. Ferris, United States Senator from Michigan. — The degree of B. Se. was conferred upon 82 men and 7 women; the degree of M. Agr. upon 2 men; the degree of M. Se. upon 8 men and 1 woman and the degree of Ph. D. upon one man. . ...,. i) . ets tah . oer Seb Ghe, aed PD. 31. 5 Enrollment of Students. In Courses of Collegiate Grade. — It was pointed out in the report of a year ago that the attendance of students at the Agricultural Colleges had steadily declined during the past few years. The Massachusetts Agricultural College has maintained its enrollment better than the majority of similar institutions, although this year, there is a slight falling off in total attendance; the total is 431 exclusive of the Graduate School as compared with 470 in 1922. The en- rollment in the entering class is 125 or approximately two-thirds that of a year ago. The cause for the reduction in attendance, in this and other similar in- stitutions, has not been satisfactorily explained. Probably the feeling that the food producers of the country are receiving an inadequate return for their service is reflecting itself in the minds of those who would otherwise attend an agricultural college for the purpose of preparing themselves for some agricul- tural occupation. Statistics have been compiled from approximately half the agricultural colleges of the country showing their comparative enrollment of freshman students in 1922 and 1923. Of the twenty-six institutions reporting, seven show a gain in Freshman registration in 1923 over 1922; the total gain ot these seven institutions is 50. Nineteen institutions report a decrease in en- rollment and the total loss in these nineteen institutions is 461. In the Two-Year Course. — There is a marked decrease in the enrollment of two-year students. In 1920 the enrollment was 277; in 1921, 293; in 1922, 257 and in 1923, 169. This decrease is due in part to the withdrawal from this in- stitution of a number of Federal Board students who have either finished their training or who have been transferred to other institutions established primarily for the rehabilitation of service men. The analysis of attendance in all courses is found on page 25. Students entering the Freshman Class in 1923. Of the Freshmen entering this autumn, slightly over 95% are from Massa- chusetts. Apparently the requirement of an annual tuition of $180 for students from states other than Massachusetts has very effectively cut off the attendance from other states. Formerly 10% to 15% of each Freshman class came from other states. J should like to ask whether this tendency, brought about by the increase in tuition, is wholly desirable? Ought there not to be encouraged a normal exchange of students between the Agricultural Colleges? At present more Massachusetts boys are being educated in state institutions outside of Massachusetts than the total of non-resident students at the Massachusetts Agri- cultural College. The opinion has been frequently expressed that students do not come to the Massachusetts Agricultural College because of their interest in agriculture. A special inquiry was made of students entering this autumn, to ascertain why they came to the Massachusetts Agricultural College. 67% stated that they came because of their interest in agriculture; 25% stated that they came because they desired a general education, either with or without respect to agriculture; 5% came with the idea of transferring to other institutions at the end of one or two years, and 3% came because of other considerations. Research Work in Forestry. In June an agreement was entered into with the United States Forest Service providing for the location at this institution of a Forest Experiment Station for _ the Northeastern area. The College, by the agreement, obligates itself to supply quarters, including orfice space and laboratory facilities, heat, light and janitor service for the staff which will be placed here. At the outset this staff will in- clude approximately five foresters, one pathologist, two entomologists and two _ elerks. The staff of foresters is being accommodated in French Hall. As the _ Pathologist and Entomologists are added, they will be housed respectively in Clark Hall and Fernald Hall. There has been some delay in the staff coming to Amherst and at present not all are here. The work, however, is well under _ way. 6 : P.D. 31. ‘This co-operative arrangement will cost the institution practically nothing and will bring to it the prestige attendant upon the location of such an Experiment Station, and will greatly strengthen the teaching work in Forestry. Excursions to the College. During the past few years groups of people from various parts of the State have been coming to the College in greater numbers. Some of these groups attend formal programs such as Farmers’ Week or High School Day, while others come for less definite objectives but all for the purpose of inspecting the institution with more or less thoroughness. To illustrate the extent to which these excursions are now being made to the College, the following list is given, covering the fiscal year just closing.

Visit of the Legislature. The most important visit to the College during the year was that of the Massa- © chusetts Legislature. Just prior to the opening of the last session, Senator — ‘Haigis of Greenfield visited the College, and at that time asked whether we would | welcome a visit from the Legislature. Early in the session he introduced an | order providing for the inspection. The order was passed on April 11, and the ~ _ 1 Visitors. fP.D. 31. 7 i day set for the visit was paedan May 4. The legislative session was adjourned _ in order to allow all members to make the trip to Amherst. A special train composed of steel coaches, left North Station at 8:30 a.m. and arrived at Am- herst at 11:40. Here the guests were met by eighty automobiles, placed at our disposal by citizens of Amherst and by alumni in nearby towns. Each automo- bile was accompanied by a guide who was a member of the staff, an alumnus, a Trustee, or a student. A general tour of the campus was made, thus giving _ the visitors a comprehensive view of the equipment and extent of the physical _ plant. This tour of inspection occupied about fifty minutes and was followed _ by luncheon at the Dining-Hall. Immediately after luncheon the Legislature ' adjourned to Bowker Auditorium where the platform had been extended to ac- : commodate all the guests. The students assembled early and were in their seats - $ ; when the Legislature proceeded to the platform.

On June 17 last, the College received the sad news of the death of Mr. Elmer D. Howe at his home in Marlborough, Mass. Mr. Howe was born in Marlborough September 10, 1860, and was appointed Trustee by Governor William E. Russell in January, 1893, to succeed Thomas P. Root of Barre. He served continuously as Trustee until his death. He was a member of the Committee on Course of Study and Faculty since 1893, of the Committee on Farm and Horticulture (later Horticulture) since 1895, and of the Committee on Extension Service, of which he was Chairman, since 1914. Mr. Howe was a graduate of the college in the class of 1881 and soon after graduation came to be recognized as one of the foremost agricultural leaders of the State. His life was wholly spent on the farm and the record shows that he was an excellent and successful farmer. Though always a very busy man he gladly found time to devote to the solution of many of the vital problems pertaining to the welfare of Massachusetts agriculture. He was potent in promoting the organi- zation of the Grange in this State and subsequently was honored as its leader. Indeed, he was really interested in every movement aiming at the co-operative welfare of farmers and in his later years gave active support to the Farm Bureau movement. Mr. Howe was a kindly, patient, tender gentleman of the old school who commanded respect wherever he went. He loved the College and gave to it an affectionate and faithful service. His loss will be keenly felt by us all for a long time. The Trustees have placed on record the following resolutions: ‘““Whereas, The Divine Master has seen fit to remove from this life Elmer D. Howe who for years has served faithfully and well as a Trustee of this College, giving of his time and energy that the best interests of agriculture in our Common- wealth should be advanced by agricultural education; therefore, be it “ Resolved, That the Board of Trustees of the Massachusetts Agricultural College mourn the loss of a sincere, courteous gentleman, with whom it was ever a pleasure to work, who always had the courage of his convictions, and who always had the best interests of the College at heart; “ Resolved, further, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased and a copy placed upon our records.”’ On September 3, 1924, the Governor’s Council approved the appointment of Mr. John Chandler of Sterling Junction as Trustee of the College to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Howe. Mr. Chandler is a graduate of Yale, and a successful farmer. For years he has been an active leader in various agricultural organizations; at present he is President of the Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation. Resignations, Retirements, and Deaths. Kenyon L. BurrerFigE.D. The year 1924 will ever stand out, in the history of the Massachusetts Agri- cultural College, as the year which marked the close of the brilliant administration of Kenyon Leech Butterfield, the seventh president of the institution. As you 4 ; | 4 | P.D. 31. + already know, President Butterfield resigned in May in order to accept the honored — leadership of the Michigan Agricultural College — his Alma Mater, and brought — his labors here to a close the following August. Elected to the presidency at the — age of thirty-eight he gave to this institution, therefore, the very best years of | his life, and during that long period he strove earnestly and at all times to promote its highest good with unswerving fidelity and singleness of purpose. His adminis- tration was characterized by great wisdom, untiring energy, fine idealism and rapid and continuous expansion both in service and in influence. President Butterfield entered upon his duties at the Massachusetts Agricultural College with the clearly defined and openly avowed purpose of maintaining and developing a high grade agricultural college. The institution, as he conceived it, should teach and study the fundamental sciences underlying the agricultural industry, train skillful farmers, educate leaders in the various agricultural pro- fessions, disseminate information concerning agriculture and the farm home to the people of the State, and in every way promote every interest of the countryside and country life. Under him the work of agricultural research was heartily en- couraged; the curriculum of the four-year course was expanded; graduate courses were organized; short courses were established; and a comprehensive system of extension service was developed. | His achievements and success were due to a broad understanding of the problem of agriculture in its every phase; a rare capacity in the organization of projects and plans; the ability to discover and enlist capable associates for the work to be accomplished, and to inspire their best efforts and co-operation in its successful attainment. Besides remarkable gifts of leadership, President Butterfield possessed unusual powers of prevision. He was one of the first to advocate a scheme of popular dissemination of agricultural information. His pioneer spirit anticipated the nation-wide Extension Service. He was one of the first to see the problem of the | farmer as inevitably concerned with distribution as well as with production. His foresight saw the rural problem as essentially a human problem and the social — conditions of the rural people to be a prime and essential factor in maintaining a satisfying agriculture and rural life. In recent years he was defining the scope of the agricultural colleges as embracing the entire field of food supply, including © production, distribution, consumption and preservation. | His abilities were early recognized, and gradually opened for him the door of a nation-wide service. In 1908 he was named as a representative of the State of Massachusetts to the White House conference in Washington to consider the’ problem of national conservation. In 1908, also, he was appointed by President — Roosevelt as a member of the Country Life Commission. Associated with him were | Gifford Pinchot, Liberty Hyde Bailey, and the late Henry Wallace, the late Walter — Hines Page, C. 8. Barnett, and W. A. Beard. In 1913 Woodrow Wilson appointed ~ President Butterfield as a member of the American Commission on Rural Credits — which spent four months in Europe making a careful study of agricultural credit ~ and co-operation. -In 1918 he was elected by the International Y. M. C. A. to © take charge of the organization of vocational education among the American © troops in France. In 1921 a commission was organized to visit China for the pur- pose of making a comprehensive study of her educational needs and of reporting © a desirable educational program for that vast Empire. President Butterfield © served on this Commission as the expert in vocational education. We are too close to the administration and work of our recent leader to be able ~ adequately to evaluate the character and magnitude of his contribution. Future ~ historians will accord him, we may predict, a very high place in the list of the real leaders and pioneers of American agriculture and of American country life. All we ~ can do at this time is to express simple and sincere gratitude, and to affirm with — pride that Kenyon L. Butterfield was a man of broadest vision and of outstanding leadership — a wise administrator and builder —a gentleman of rare personal | charm, of unbending moral convictions, and of highest ideals, who gave the unusual | powers and energies of his best years joyously and unreservedly to the great cause | of agriculture and to the education of the youth and people of Massachusetts. 4 i i 5 Purtie BEvIER HASBROUCK. On a beautiful summer morning last July our College community was shocked by the sad announcement of the sudden death of Professor P. B. Hasbrouck. He had been troubled during the past four or five years with a weakened heart. His spirit was such, however, that we lived in the hope that he would regain his strength and health once again. But it was not to be. Professor Hasbrouck was born in Libertyville, Ulster County, New York, in 1870. He was graduated from Rutgers in 1893, having specialized in mathematics, physics, and civil engineering. He came to M. A. C. in 1895 as Assistant Professor of Mathematics. He was made Associate Professor of Mathematics and Adjunct Professor of Physics in 1903 and Professor of Physics and Head of Department in 1911. In 1905 he was appointed Registrar of the College. In the death of Professor Philip Bevier Hasbrouck the College has lost a servant who possessed the qualities of a teacher in a marked degree. Scores of men who studied under him freely acknowledge and gratefully remember the devotion which was given so gladly and generously. In his capacities of teacher and registrar Professor Hasbrouck’s opportunities for meeting students were many and frequent. In spite of his often brusque demeanor most of his students became his staunch friends and held him in highest esteem. So also did his colleagues, and all who saw beneath the exterior the sincerity of purpose and big heart of the man. Few men on any faculty are privileged to be so generally beloved. His death brought a heavy pang to many friends and closed a life wholly dedicated through many years to the service of the College and of ‘‘the boys.” JOHN PHELAN. On August 31, 1924, John Phelan resigned to accept a position of larger responsi- bility under President Butterfield at the Michigan Agricultural College. Professor Phelan came to the Massachusetts Agricultural College in 1915 as Professor and Head of the Department of Rural Sociology. He was an excellent teacher and attracted to his courses a comparatively large number of students. In 1918 he was appointed Director of Short Courses. In this position he rendered an outstanding service to the College. It was given to him to organize a two-year course in practical agriculture, in response to a legislative resolution that such should be established. In formulating this course Director Phelan introduced the feature of six months’ practical farm experience, on approved farms under supervision; this training period comes between the first and second years of school work and must be satisfactorily completed before the student may graduate. Under his direction the winter school and the summer school were developed and enlarged in scope and new courses to meet special demands were established, notably short courses for florists, gardeners, and dairymen. Immediately after the Armistice in 1918, the College announced its availability to train men discharged from the Army and Navy. Short courses were at once arranged and the registration was large from the first. Later M. A. C. was desig- nated as the training center for New England to which disabled service men should be sent for rehabilitation in agriculture. Upon Director Phelan was placed the responsibility of organizing the many courses necessary to meet the varied require- ments of such men. Over 650 Federal Board men have attended the College since 1919, and about 100 of them are still under the supervision of the Short Course organization. Through the Short Course as developed during the five years of Professor Phelan’s leadership the usefulness of the College to the farmers of the State was significantly multiplied. Henry S. GREEN. After approximately three years of excellent service, Dr. Henry 8. Green retired as Librarian November 12, 1924, having at that time reached the age limit. 6 ; -» “PIDsS1¢ New Appointments of Department Heads. Basit B. Woop. Upon the resignation of Dr. Green, Basil B. Wood was appointed Librarian of the College. Mr. Wood was for the past four years librarian at the Westerly, Rhode Island, Public Library. Previously he had served at the John Crerar Public Library in Chicago; at the Berkshire Atheneum in Pittsfield; at the Springfield City Library, and in the Army Camp Libraries at Camp Gordon and at Camp Lee. Mr. Wood is a graduate of Brown University in the class of 1905. Roxtanp H. VERBECK. On September 19, 1924, Roland H. Verbeck was appointed Director of Short Courses to succeed Professor John Phelan. Mr. Verbeck was graduated from M. A. C. in 1908, having specialized in Agricultural Education. He served first as Principal of the High School at Petersham and subsequently as Principal at Parsonsfield, Maine. Prior to the war he pursued graduate study at Harvard University. In the summer of 1917 he enlisted in the air service of the United States Army and served a year in France. From 1919 till June, 1924, he served with marked success as Director of the School of Agriculture at Saint Lawrence University, Canton, New York. Improvements and New Construction. The buildings under construction and the improvements that have been made during 1924 are as follows: 1. The completion of the Chemistry Building at a cost of $300,000. 2. The addition to the Rural Engineering Building at a cost of $15,000. 3. The erection of the tobacco barn, $3,000. 4. The erection of the head-house at the Agronomy Greenhouse, $2,650. 5. Continuing the concrete walk, $1,000. 6. Numerous other improvements, such as the repairs to the East Experiment Station Greenhouse and the Agricultural Greenhouse. Commencement, 1924. At the commencement exercises held June 19, 1924, eighty-six B.S. degrees were awarded, eighty-two to men and four to women. The Degree of Bachelor of Vocational Agriculture was conferred upon one student who had entered from the Norfolk County School of Agriculture and had completed four years of under- graduate work on the basis of a modified program. The Degree of Master of Science was conferred upon four men, the Degree of Master of Landscape Architec- ture upon one, and the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy upon one. - The Commencement address was delivered by President Kenyon L. Butterfield — upon the topic ‘‘Facing the Future.’”’? This was the final official appearance of President Butterfield before the College he so dearly loved. Enrollment of Students. The enrollment of students in the four-year course this autumn is 489, an in- crease of 56 over a year ago. ‘This increase is due to the larger freshman class which this year numbers 183 as compared with 125 in 1923. This year’s fresh- man class has substantially the same enrollment as had the class entering two years ago. The total enrolled in work of college grade including graduate and — special students is 571, an increase of 60 over the enrollment of 1923. Owing to the small ‘class entering the two-year course in 1923, the total enroll- | ment this year in that course is slightly less than that of a year ago although the ~ number entering the first year class in 1924 increased by 14 over the enrollment of © the preceding year. The total enrollment in 1924 is 164 as compared with 173 in 1923. »P.D: 31. 7 Work in Home Economics. Since 1919 courses in home-making have been offered at M. A. C. The increas- _ ing interest in these courses, and the demand from the resident women students for additional work, together with urgent requests from many High School girls who have wished to pursue a major in Home Economies as part of their college work have steadily pointed towards the need for developing this work. At the opening of the College year in September, 1924, more adequate provision was made for women students who wished to pursue a major in Home Economics. The emphasis is upon home-making as a fundamental vocation and will involve such courses as the study of clothing, its choice, cost, care and construction; the selection and preparation of food; nutrition and dietetics; the planning, furnishing and management of the home; the health of the family, including the care and health of children; and community relationships of the home. Thirty-one girls entered with the freshman class this autumn, and at present the total enrolled in the four-year course is 59. Some of these will undoubtedly wish to major in Home Economics and all of them will probably want to take more courses in the subject _ than was heretofore possible. ee es Boys’ Camp. : _ In 1924 for the second time a summer camp for boys was conducted. Both of _ the camps have been run along lines which result in a nominal net expense to the - institution. The camp was directed by Mr. Richard A. Mellen, Field Agent of _ the College, assisted by student counsellors. The average weekly enrollment for - each of the four weeks in 1924 was 20. The daily program included elementary _ instruction in various agricultural subjects. One serious handicap under which the - camp operates is that it has no adequate facilities for swimming, and other water _ sports. Food Supply. . } 4 : In recent years President Butterfield defined the scope of the agricultural col- leges as that of embracing not only production and distribution of food but also _ its consumption and preservation. There was presented to the Legislature of - 1924 a bill authorizing the appointment by the Governor, of a Commission which _ would study the questions of the Massachusetts Food Supply. Inasmuch as this bill had been introduced jointly by the College and the Department of Agriculture _ and had the support of various commercial organizations it was hoped that favor- able consideration would be given it by the Legislature. The bill, however, was ; finally rejected. In the furtherance of this project numerous addresses were delivered during the year before Women’s Clubs, Rotary Clubs, Chambers of _ Commerce, Granges, etc. Members of our staff who delivered addresses on the - Massachusetts Food Supply and the number of them are as follows: President Kenyon L. Butterfield Dean Edward, M. Lewis ! Director Sidney B. Haskell . i Director John D. Willard ; ~ Professor A. E. Cance . , ( f i Peer ican eS eo, 1 Dr. R. J. McFall ! 2 ; i : No. of Lectures — er ~JI o> 00 CO © Gifts to the College. During the year the College has been the recipient of several handsome gifts to _be used for the promotion of scholarship and to assist needy students and farmers. They are: | 1. THe Freperick G. Crane Funp. __ The family of the late Frederick G. Crane of Dalton presented to the College a gift of $25,000 to establish a fund in memory of Frederick G. Crane, the income therefrom to be expended by the Trustees in aid of worthy undergraduate four- year students of limited financial resources attending the College, preference being given to residents of Berkshire County. P.D;-31, The initial announcement concerning the distribution of this fund provides that all applications for loans or gifts from this fund shall be made to the President of the College, under whose direction an investigation will be made as to the relative merits of the applications. The purpose of this investigation will be to insure that the aid is extended to students whose parents are in such financial condition that assistance is necessary in order to insure a college education for the applicants; — that it be extended only to students who propose to complete their college educa- tion at the Massachusetts Agricultural College; and that it be given only to those whose character and scholarship record justifies it. Grants from, the Crane Fund are made to freshmen in the form of loans sup- ported by notes bearing endorsements satisfactory to the President of the College. These notes bear interest and are negotiable. The College, however, will at its discretion cancel these notes at the end of one year if the scholarship record of the student, his character, and his plans for the future appear to the President so to warrant. Grants are made to sophomores either on the plan outlined for freshmen as given above or on the plan outlined for juniors and seniors as given below. Grants to juniors and seniors are usually in the form of gifts and are awarded with consideration of the need, of the scholarship, and of the character of the applicant. : The amount of grants from this fund, made either as loans or as gifts, will be determined by the need of the applicant in each case and by the amount of money available in the fund. 2. SCHOLARSHIPS IN AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE. One thousand dollars have been provided by the Massachusetts Society for the Promotion of Agriculture to be awarded to four-year students enrolled from Massachusetts and majoring in the Divisions of Agriculture and Horticulture, for meeting their expenses at M. A. C. for the college year 1925-26. It has been decided that these prizes shall be awarded as follows: . Two scholarships of $200 each to members of the class of 1927 who are majoring in the Division of Agriculture or Horticulture. Two scholarships of $300 each to members of the class of 1926 who are majoring in the Division of Agriculture or Horticulture. In awarding these prizes, consideration will be given to ie 1. Excellence in scholarship in all subjects up to the time the awards are made. 2. Attitude toward work. 3. Personal character. ‘ i The scholarships will be awarded by a Committee consisting of the Head of the Division of Agriculture, the Head of the Division of Horticulture, and the Presi- dent of the College. These scholarships will be granted only as in the opinion of the Committee of award, the achievements of those eligible warrant the award. 3. Tse Porter L. Newton Funp. The residue of the estate of the late Porter L. Newton of Waltham estimated — to be approximately $25,000 has been left to the Massachusetts Agricultural — College for the purpose of establishing ‘‘a fund to be known as the Porter L. New- — ton Fund, the income of which is to be used by the administrative officers of said — College as scholarships for the education of such citizens of the United States, as said Trustees may deem worthy and deserving of the same.” 4, Tuer Lorra CRABTREE FUND. — By the will of the late Lotta Crabtree the residue of her estate estimated at — from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 was left in trust for the benefit of graduates from | the Massachusetts Agricultural College desiring to establish themselves in farming. | This bequest will be administered by a separate board of Trustees appointed by ~ - P.D. 31. 9 the Testator. Neither the exact amount of the bequest nor the conditions under _ which it shall be administered are as yet known. _ These bequests disclose a growing interest in the Massachusetts Agricultural _ College by those who are making bequests for charitable and educational purposes. 5. SprEcIAL PRIZE. Last year the Trustees of the Frederick Cornelius Eldred Memorial Athletic — Fund offered a prize of $50 to that member of the Senior class of the College who should make the most constructive suggestions for the physical development of the student body with particular reference to the portion which does not participate in the major sports. The same prize is generously offered again for 1924-1925. ee Infirmary. Director Marshall, who has charge of the Infirmary, reports that the present year has been very satisfactory from several standpoints. There has been less contagious illness than usual and the nurse and matron are doing their work most acceptably. Dr. Marshall repeats, however, with some emphasis, his statement of two years ago to the effect that our quarters are altogether inadequate not only to meet - serious epidemic conditions but also to meet normal demands. The increasing - number of women, necessitating separation facilities raises the question of enlarged quarters more seriously than ever. I agree with him entirely that some action is very — much needed. Market-Garden Field Station. _ The Market-Garden Field Station was established in 1916 as a branch of the Department of Market Gardening at the Massachusetts Agricultural College. Acting in co-operation and with the advice of the Boston Market Gardeners’ _ Association a tract of twelve acres of land was bought in North Lexington upon which suitable greenhouses and service buildings were erected. The work was _ organized under the direction of Professor H. F. Tompson, then Head of the De- _ partment of Market Gardening, and was carried forward on the land in North _ Lexington until the late summer of 1924. _ During the year 1923 an offer came from the estate of the late Cornelia Warren _ of Waltham through her executor proposing that certain land could be given to the Commonwealth for the use of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, either for _ the work in vegetable gardening or for other purposes. After much consultation _ authority was secured from the General Court to accept this gift with a view to the removal of the Market-Garden Field Station to the new site in Waltham. The land in North Lexington with the buildings was sold in September, 1924, _ possession being given October 1, 1924, and the portable effects of the Field Station _ with its records and personnel was moved to the new location in Waltham. Under authority given by the Legislature the funds ($25,000) received from the _ sale of the North Lexington property have been used in providing new quarters on the land in Waltham. Certain of the old buildings which came with the property _ have been remodelled and adapted to their new uses and a new office building _ and greenhouse are being erected. Goessmann Laboratory. The Goessmann Chemistry Laboratory was sufficiently near completion so that classes were scheduled there at the beginning of the fall term. It will be recalled that the Legislatures of 1922 and of 1923 appropriated $300,000 for the construction and equipment of this building. The building was formally dedicated October 3, 1924. All the children of the late Dr. Goessmann were present. Representatives from educational institutions and a number of alumni of the College interested in Chemistry were guests of the College. The following program was carried out: 10 Se be Acting President Epwarp M. Lewis, presiding.

The Committee selected consists of Mr. Andrew C. Warner, Levert Mr. Walter D. Cowls, North Amherst, and Mr. Charles H. Beaman, everett Rectnmendienl for Legislation. Two amendments to existing laws affecting the college were laid before the Legislature of 1924. One proposed to reduce the tax levied for the inspection of feeds from $20 to $15. The reason given for the change was that the present tax is higher than is justified by the work done. The appropriation for this hg in 1923 was $9,000 and the income was $19,420. The second amendment sought to take from the Department of Adnaieraiton and Finance the editorial supervision of research bulletins of the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station. Both of these bills were referred to the next General Court. MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE LEGISLATIVE BUDGET, 1925. Projects for Permanent Improvement. 1. HorticuLTURAL MANUFACTURES BUILDING, $60,000. The importance of utilizing various by-products of the farm which formerly were wasted, such as fruit and vegetables, was emphasized during the war, and under the direction of Prof. W. W. Chenoweth of this institution farmers came to see whereby this saving could to advantage be made permanent. In order to give adequate instruction in the preservation of fruit and vegetable products, a new laboratory building is essential. The plans provide for a one-story building of inexpensive construction, which will furnish laboratories for the various phases of this work. The pressing need for this building is now generally understood. However, some of the principal considerations may be recapitulated as follows: (a) The department of horticultural manufactures now has its work widely — distributed in four buildings, viz., Flint Laboratory, Wilder Hall, French Hall, and a workshop on the hill near the cold storage plant. This wide scattering of the work is obviously very detrimental to its objective. (b) The principal teaching is done at Flint Laboratory in rooms which were designed for use by the dairy department. The dairy department needs these rooms and would like to see the department of horticultural manufactures cared — for elsewhere as soon as possible. ‘ Pay..at, 11 (c) The present quarters are entirely inadequate for the teaching work. On account of the limited space the department has been compelled to refuse admission to numbers of students. This is perhaps the only department in the institution which has been compelled frequently to refuse admission to students on account of lack of space. All the teaching could be much better organized and more efficiently conducted in a new building designed for this particular work. (d) It is highly desirable that vigorous research work be undertaken at the earliest opportunity in the field of fruit and vegetable preservation and the manu- facture of by-products. A strong demand exists for this work among fruit growers, but the subject is equally important to all consumers of food in Massachusetts. (e) The department is now carrying on important extension work, but these extension projects need to be strongly supported by effective work at the college, and especially by well-directed research work. (f) The Massachusetts Fruit Growers’ Exchange Association, the Boston Market Gardeners’ Association and other organizations have urgently requested this proposed building. This demand from the fruit growers and vegetable growers should be squarely met. 2. TUNNEL FROM PoWER PLANT TO STOCKBRIDGE HALL, $38,500. The principal argument advanced in support of this project is the reeommenda- tion made by French and Hubbard, engineers, who recently made a study of the present heating plan and future development for the same, “‘that a tunnel be con- structed to Flint Laboratory and Stockbridge Hall and the piping arranged so that exhaust steam can be used in these buildings. We are firm believers in tunnels for steam mains of this kind, and believe that when it is necessary to rearrange the underground piping, tunnels should be constructed. We would recommend this both for economy in the long run and on account of convenience in repairs and pipe insulation.” At present none of the underground steam lines are enclosed in tunnels. The result is a high cost of maintenance because of the excessive radiation and because of the difficulty in locating and repairing leaks. Also, at present, the maximum use is not made of exhaust steam; this latter difficulty would be met by the project here outlined. 3. WoMEN’s GYMNASIUM AND EQUIPMENT, $16,450. With the increased number of women students attending the College, the need of a women’s gymnasium becomes imperative. With the appropriation here re- quested it is proposed to erect a wooden frame building adjacent to the present Women’s Dormitory. Placed in this location it will be unnecessary to duplicate _ dressing rooms and shower baths. The amount requested will provide for the necessary equipment for the building. 4. Roaps anpD WaLkKs, $10,000. In order to secure a system of improved roads and permanent walks on the campus, it is proposed to build small sections of each from year to year. In 1925 it is planned to extend the macadam road, provided in 1923, from the Chapel to aed Plant, and to lay a granolithic walk from South College to the Drill all. 5. Livina QUARTERS FOR FOREMAN AT TILLSON Farm, $6,000. Recently the barn cellar on the Tillson Farm was converted into an incubator cellar by repairing the walls and constructing a suitable roof. These repairs, however, have been partial and it is now proposed to raise the roof in order to pro- vide a two-story building. The upper floor will furnish living quarters for the foreman and the main floor will be used as an experimental laboratory, egg room, operating room, office and shop. These improvements have already been delayed beyond the point of economy in operation. 12 . P.D. 31. 6. ExTEension OF PRESENT ENCLOSED ATHLETIC Fretp ArBA, $22,500. It is proposed to extend in a southerly direction the present athletic field and to include in the enlarged area twelve tennis courts and two skating rinks, as well as to relocate the running track. The estimate covers the cost of extending the fences and grading and draining this area. 7. OTHER PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS FOR ATHLETIC Fretp Arwa, $10,500. This project is connected with that preceding and is intended to provide the permanent improvements for the enlarged field. The principal items are: 1. Piping water to the field for sprinkling, flooding, and drinking purposes. 2. Installing wire fencing for tennis courts. 3. Building walls for skating rinks. 4. Moving the quarter mile track. 8. TuNNEL To First Pit SoutH or PowER PLANT, $4,615. This project has been under consideration for several years but has not been pressed more urgently because of other demands. Its purpose is to provide for an underground. system of steam piping for a distance of sixty feet from the wall of the power plant, extending to a point where the steam mains for the south side of the campus branch. 9. New Stream LIne From EAST EXPERIMENT STATION TO MICROBIOLOGY BurLpine, $4,705. This project contemplates replacing a section of underground pipe line which is now in poor condition. The new line would be 385 feet shorter than the present one, thus effecting greater economy in operation. 10. Livestock REPLACEMENT, $4,000. In order to maintain satisfactorily the present pure bred strains of livestock in- cluding horses, cattle, sheep and swine, it is necessary to buy certain animals each year. The funds received from the sale of stock would be sufficient to main- tain the inventory on a satisfactory basis. Under present conditions, however, it is necessary from time to time to seek special appropriations for this purpose. In 1925 the amount requested is $4,000. 11. Frencine Fruit PLANTATIONS, $3,000. The fruit plantations of the Horticultural Department are every year subject to serious raiding, besides the constant loss of fruit from visitors who stroll through the orchards and vineyards and help themselves to small quantities of fruit. An attempt has been made to prevent the raiding by patrolling the orchard. Loss due to the second cause cannot be stopped in this manner. It is believed that both types of loss can be largely prevented by fencing the main fruit plantations. The present estimate contemplates enclosing only such plantations as are now bear- ing fruit. Nine thousand linear feet of fence would be provided by the amount asked under this item. 12. CULVERT FOR BRooK IN RAVINE, $2,505. In order to provide adequate storage place for the large supply of coal which now has to be carried during part of the year, it is necessary to construct a culvert over a section of the stream which runs through the ravine adjacent to the Tur- bine House. The proposed culvert would be 175 feet long, four feet high and five feet wide, and can be constructed at an estimated cost of $14.32 per linear foot. 13. REFRIGERATING PLANT AT ParGE LaBoratTory, $2,000. For years it has been impossible satisfactorily to maintain the animal and poultry disease specimens and to conserve the various kinds of diagnostic sera made in the Department of Veterinary Science and Animal Pathology. ‘Two small re- —— | ts De 13 frigerators which require daily icing are now used but are inadequate for the pres- ent demands. The addition proposed is necessary in order to save valuable per- ishable materials. 14. AppiITIONAL LAND AT THE CRANBERRY STATION, East WaREHAM, $1,000. The total area of land, the purchase of which is contemplated by this item, is sixteen acres in the larger parcel; one acre, forty rods, in the smaller. The latter area is needed for the purpose of straightening the present boundary and pre- venting possible undesirable neighbors. The former area is required for three purposes, namely: As source of sand for sanding the bogs. Turf for building dams, dikes, and embankments. An area of some eight acres, a part for enlargement of the blueberry planta- tion’s work, another part for testing new varieties of cranberries, and engaging ultimately in formal breeding work. REPORT OF THE DEAN. Much of the work of the Dean’s office during the year just ended had to do with administrative matters of scholarship, schedule and student welfare. From the very start every effort was made to have the new men begin right. To bring this about a new departure was taken this year through the introduction of a “Freshman Week.” The schedule for this week was carefully planned with a view to introducing the entering student to his new environment in the shortest possible time with the least possible upset. Freshmen were asked to report three days ahead of the date set for the opening of college. This time was used for lectures on College Life, important college regulations, fraternities, scholarship, methods of study, campus employment and schedules. Mental tests, under the direction of the Department of Education, were also given during this period. These preliminaries were over when the members of the three other classes arrived on the campus for the formal opening of college, which came on Thursday after- noon. The time from the opening of college to the end of the week was given over entirely to class registration, lesson assignments and fraternity rushing. No rushing was permitted after this period. Accordingly, regular class work began the second week without any interference or loss of time. All Freshmen were assigned to Advisers who acted as counselors and guides, nd through whom almost personal attention was given to every new student. This advisory scheme, now in operation for a number of years, has given general satisfaction. The advisory group this year was made up of the following members of the faculty chosen especially because of their sympathetic interest in students and their problems: Halliday, Raymond. Phillips, A. W. Julian, A. N. Porter, W. R. Lanphear, M. O. Rand, F; P. Machmer, Wm. L. Rice, V. A. Mackimmie, A. A. Yount, H. W. Moore, F. C. Skinner, Miss. A preliminary scholarship report on all Freshmen was received in the Dean’s Office at the end of the third week. This report helped to size up the men and enabled the advisers to work more effectively with their advisees. About three weeks later another more complete scholarship report was received. This report was mailed to the parent directly through the adviser. In this way co-operation en parent and adviser was established. This essential relation proved very elpful. The Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors were almost entirely handled by the writer personally as far as scholarship was concerned. A complete report of their scholastic work was received from the instructors about six weeks after the open- 14 PAD elit ing of each term. If this report was not satisfactory the student was called into personal conference. Good results followed from such conferences. While the scholarship problem is still with us and undoubtedly ever will be, yet we feel that it is receiving careful and sympathetic attention and that as a result, our efforts in behalf of deserving students will become increasingly effective. The regulation introduced last year withdrawing the cut privilege from Fresh- men was, at the request of the Student Senate, extended to include the members of the Sophomore class. The two lower classes are now working under this sys- ae which seems to meet with very general approval from both faculty and tudents. Recognizing that college teaching can and ought to be better, a distinct begin- ning was made last winter to bring this about. A series of five teachers’ meetings were held at intervals of two weeks to consider methods of teaching and ways and means for improving teaching practices at the Massachusetts Agricultural Col- lege. The meetings were in charge of members of the staff and were very suggestive and helpful. The death of Professor Philip B. Hasbrouck, Registrar of the College since 1905, on July 19, 1924, threw a new duty on the writer, who was appointed Acting Reg- istrar. This meant the handling of the Dean’s and Registrar’s work under one head. The undertaking was rather an ambitious one and has necessarily forced the adoption of a “carry on’”’ policy. Outstanding new ventures could not be undertaken. The clerical force in both the Dean’s and Registrar’s Offices deserves great credit for its loyalty and willingness to carry added responsibilities. , The student morale was good. The finest spirit of whole-hearted co-operation was noticeable on every hand. Buoyed up by this undivided support we were able to carry rather easily the very numerous burdensome duties of an unusually exacting year. Wm. L. Macumemr, Assistant Dean. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE EXTENSION SERVICE. The year 1924 has seen the further development and carrying out of extension policies and plans which have been the basis of work in the past. Projects have been developing with each year’s experience so that they are close to the needs of the farms and rural homes of the state. The underlying needs of agriculture and home-making must always be the starting point in our work. These have not changed materially during the year. The agriculture. of Massachusetts is, however, passing through an adjustment period. High prices during and immediately following the war enabled many inefficient farmers to make profits. Those days are over. Dairymen, poultrymen and market gardeners are finding it necessary to reduce the costs of production if there is to be a profit at the present market prices. Our service to them must be to enable them to reduce costs of production so that they can still compete with farmers in other areas who are selling in our markets. The successful low-cost producer still has good opportunity, but the day for the inefficient high-cost producer has gone. Readjustment is a bitter process to those who cannot make the changes, but it is inevitable. Fortunately, the majority seem to be finding ways of meeting changed conditions, and complaints come largely from those who do not yet sense the nature of the change. It is a matter of hopeful significance that Massachusetts producers see the futility of trying to raise prices by artificial © means and are looking to careful management of their own farms for salvation. The war brought greater spending power to the majority of city dwellers who at once converted this into ampler standards of living. Rural homes are not so easily provided with even the ordinary comforts which city populations enjoy. Educational assistance to country home-owners to make their homes as attractive and enjoyable as those in the city is much in demand. The call for educational service-in clothing and textiles has grown beyond our capacity to meet it. With the filling of the vacancy in our staff, work in nutrition can again be resumed, and the time of the specialist is already booked for months to come. #1): 3t. 15 Boys and girls remain in club work longer than formerly. This is evidence of a feeling that values received are greater. The out-of-the-way corners of the rural sections are being studied more carefully, and the opportunity for club activities is reaching those boys and girls who most need it. The most important staff-change of the year has been the filling of the position of Extension Specialist in Nutrition, vacant since the summer of 1923. Miss Mildred L. Wood has taken up this work, coming from county and city extension work in Iowa and Minnesota, and from study in Teachers College, Columbia. It is a common observation that extension work in nutrition is less spectacular than in _ other branches, and appeals primarily to thoughtful home-makers who are conscious of the importance of diet in the family welfare. It is a project which cannot be reported in as vivid a manner as some others because it is not as susceptible to exhibit as others. Professor H. F. Tompson resigned from the position of Extension Specialist in Vegetable Gardening in order to go into business, and was succeeded by Professor R. M. Koon, who came to us from Delaware. Professor Joseph F. Whitney re- signed from the position of Extension Specialist in Landscape Gardening to under- take professional work with the Mariemont Company in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the position is still vacant. Miss Dorothy Murdock resigned from the position of Assistant State Leader of Junior Extension work in order to undertake the prac- tice of home-making, and was succeeded by Miss Harriet M. Woodward, who came to us from home demonstration work in New Hampshire. Professor Frederick E. Cole resigned from the position of Extension Specialist in Pomology to become Manager of the Nashoba Fruit Growers, and was succeeded by Professor Wilbur H. Thies, who came to us from Michigan Agricultural College. Much attention has been given to teaching methods, in order to reach the larger groups. We have found much demand from the more vigorous and progressive farmers and home-makers, but too often those who most needed to change their _ practices to survive under present competitive conditions were the slowest to sense the need. The year has marked progress in this effort. A more complete statement of this will be included in Part VI of the annual report of the Massachusetts Agri- cultural College. In July the Extension Service issued a cautionary letter relative to the proposed New England Dairy System. It was felt that many farmers would be tempted to join it expecting monopoly profits and high prices. The era of high prices for milk in Massachusetts has passed. The prices of the future will be based on the reactions of supply and demand, as the actual net prices have been for the past few months. The warning from the College received very widespread publicity and much adverse criticism. It is perhaps sufficient to report that the bitterest critic of the College for its position is now advocating the very basic concept on which the warning was founded. It is our conviction that the warning, which was issued simultaneously and in the same form by the Director of Extension in Vermont, saved hundreds of thousands of dollars to the farmers of New England, and pre- vented the undertaking of a co-operative venture which was unsound in its initial plans. It should be noted, however, that the plans for the New England Dairy System have been revised, and in its ultimate form the organization has a chance to prove of substantial benefit to its members. Relationships with co-operating agencies have been excellent, and during the year have been developed to better efficiency. This is true alike of the State Depart- ments of Agriculture and Conservation, and with one exception of the County Extension Services. The county extension organizations have maintained excellent effectiveness and morale. We believe more firmly than ever that a co-operative program of extension work which utilizes the college as a resource agency and the county staffs as the agencies for direct application is most effective. Supporting this is the United States Department of Agriculture, the largest resource organization as well as the largest research organization in the world. Co-operation with commodity organizations is stronger than ever, with mutual benefit. Educational programs can be carried forward very effectively through the membership activities of such organizations. It is the plan and practice of the 16 P.D. 31. Extension Service to look to such organizations for counsel on the basic needs of the industries which they represent. : We are under very great pressure for materials and leadership in the home- management project. The need of a full-time specialist in this field is urgent. It is to be hoped that the various budgetary and appropriating agencies can find a way to create this new position, which is the only one requested in our budget for the year 1925. In summary, the year shows marked gain in teaching efficiency, in numbers reached, in understanding of underlying problems, and in the development of materials to meet needs. A detailed report on projects will be found in Part VI of the Report of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. : JoHN D. WILLARD, Director of the Extension Service. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE EXPERIMENT STATION. One of the economic lessons gained from the period of agricultural depression through which we are happily passing is that farmers in any given section are in competition with all other farmers who attempt to reach the same market. Massa- chusetts dairymen are in serious competition with the dairymen of Northern New England. Similarly the potato growers of Massachusetts must compete with those of Aroostook County, Maine; and unless they can place potatoes on the market at as low a cost as can their competitors naturally they will lose their market. With few exceptions, of which the Cape Cod cranberry is the most signifi- cant, the price at which our Massachusetts farmers must sell their products is determined by the total crop as produced in competing sections. Self-evidently, it is impossible to confine to the borders of a single state the benefits of any agricultural research. Seldom can agricultural improvements be patented, or the methods of effecting such improvement be copyrighted. Such action, even if possible, would be undesirable, and not in the interests of public welfare. The results of all experiment station work regardless of where carried on are available to all farmers. Even though we must recognize this, it is nevertheless incumbent on the Massachusetts Station to direct its best efforts to bettering the competitive position of Massachusetts farmers. This it is attempting to do. The branches of Station work in which distinct service is being rendered to Massachusetts agriculture as distinguished from competing agriculture, are shown in the following paragraphs: 1. All Research Studies on Plant Diseases and Insect Enemies of Vegetation.— Because of the fact that development of these obstacles to successful production is so profoundly affected by environment, this research work must be local. Work carried on during the year includes studies of the squash vine borer, the squash bug, the second generation of the codling moth, the hatching dates of a number of scale insects, study of insects affecting the cranberry, and control studies on the onion thrips. In plant diseases, study of carrot blight, of tobacco root rot, of cucumber mildew under glass, of scab and black rot of apples, of onion smut, and of tobacco wildfire are included in the year’s operations, together with some co- operative study of certain cranberry diseases carried on jointly with the United States Department of Agriculture. ; . 2. Most Soil Management and Plant Nutrition Studies. — These are mainly local in their application, even though the research may develop fundamental principles of wide application. The work of the year includes projects in soil management and fertilization of orchards, study of plant food relations in permanent pasture, and a new series of soil management studies for onions and tobacco. The net result of this work, when and as it is brought to successful completion, will be to better to a significant degree the competitive conditions under which our farmers work. 3. Certain Studies in Animal Nutrition. — The most significant at the present moment is investigation of substitutes for milk in the rearing of dairy calves. The - situation in the Massachusetts dairy industry is one which puts a high value on Pid. 31. Lid fluid milk, and which necessitates high producing cows in the dairy herd. The latter fact is favorable, the former highly unfavorable, to the breeding of high quality dairy cows. Apparently our Massachusetts farmers will not be able to replace their herds unless substitutes for milk be found. This project, however, when successfully completed, may develop fundamental principles of almost universal application. 4. Local Studies on Markets and Marketing. — The most important work of the year was study of costs of marketing Massachusetts apples. The object here was to give to the Massachusetts orchard industry the facts on which more economical operation may be based. 5. Poultry Disease Studies, with Particular Reference to those Typical of Intensive Poultry Industry. — The disease problem in congested regions differs significantly from that in other regions. This makes it necessary that the Station give good service in order that the industry may be maintained on a sound basis. There are many other projects which have a much wider application. The work of the Department of Poultry Husbandry in breeding high egg laying strains of Rhode Island Reds illustrates the point. The increased economy which this high producing stock makes possible will be nearly as great an advantage to the com- petitors of Massachusetts poultrymen as to Massachusetts poultrymen themselves. Ultimately, of course, it can have but one result — to make possible the production of eggs at a lower cost than at present. Similarly, much of the study in agricultural economics, research on the properties of feeding stuffs, and fundamental studies in plant development are of ultimate fundamental significance to the people as a whole, rather than to any restricted group. Demand versus Need for Research Work. The above brings out a most important point. Normally the ability of the Experiment Station to undertake research work in any line depends on apparent demand for the same. Practically the need for this research antedates the demand, even by a score of years. The most successful research is that which avoids trouble, rather than merely remedies it after it occurs. If the work established two years ago on certain problems incident to tobacco culture had been started twenty years ago; and if the work on white diarrhoea control of poultry could have been insti- tuted before the disease became prevalent, the farming industry of Massachusetts would have been saved from great losses. This represents one of the difficult problems of Station administration — to secure funds in support of fundamental research for which there may be no apparent demand, but which may be the most productive research possible, on account of its anticipating future needs. The fact that Massachusetts has in general been astonishingly liberal in its appropria- tions to its Experiment Station is a cause both for gratification, and mcreased sense of responsibility to the tax payers of the State. Conditions affecting Station Work. In the attempt to make the work of the Station apply most fully to the needs of Massachusetts, the fullest co-operation has been received from members of the Station staff. There is, however, a growing lack of contact between the Station men and those who should form the main clientele of the Station, — that is, the farmers of the State. This loss of contact is caused primarily by change in the character of the Station work, and secondarily by the fact that the Extension Service now serves as the liaison organization between the College and Massa- chusetts farmers. Further study needs to be given to the problem, for the fullest responsibility to the people of the State will not be obtained unless our workers are in contact with those requiring our research service. Most of the conditions experienced during the year have been favorable. Great progress has been made in improving and equipping the various farm areas now available for Station work — the new Brooks Experimental Farm, the Harlow Farm for orchard experimental work, and the Tillson Farm for poultry breeding. The transfer of the Market Garden Field Station from North Lexington to Waltham gives to this branch of the institution greatly increased opportunities for effective 18 P.D. 31. research. The i increase of personnel at the Cranberry Station has likewise increased - opportunities in its work. Of unfavorable developments during the year there are two which are worthy of notice. ‘The first is the very large turnover in the lower paid positions on the Station staff. The total of full time workers now in the service of the Station is forty-five. There were ten resignations during the course of the year, most of these being caused by dissatisfaction with the low salary schedule, coupled with the ability to find better opportunities elsewhere. This condition was reported to the Trustees in 1922. The second unfavorable condition is in the publication of results of research. Not for years has the Station had such a poor record. The conditions bringing about this unfavorable development are those described in my last’ annual report. . Sipnry B. HAsKEtn, Director of the Expervment Station. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL. Agriculture is, by common consent, the noblest of the professions. To exalt it and to hold it in its proper place in the eyes of the world should be the goal of every individual genuinely interested. Those engaged in agriculture and especially the leaders, should have real pride in their calling. Moreover they should be broadly trained, They must meet other professional classes on the same footing; they must develop a culture equal to any profession, a standard of life accepted by all conditions of society, and a.mentality that will reflect credit and be conspicuous in all callings in which they may participate. Such is the objective of graduate work in agriculture. The school flourishes and is accomplishing much as measured comparatively with other graduate schools, but we seek to accomplish much more in an effort to realize the full significance of the goal set above. It is pertinent to know what is being done by our graduate students. This can in a very meagre way be illustrated by the theses submitted by the candidates for higher degrees last June. Mr. Stanley B. Freeborn received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. He presented a thesis on ‘‘The Mosquitoes of California.” This study extended over several years. Mr. Freeborn is connected with the University of California. His study has universal application. | Mr. John G. Archibald received the degree of Master of Science and presented a thesis considering “The Digestibility of Treated Grain Hulls for Domestic Arimals.”’ This was an extensive study within the Experiment Station and aims to make available a wider range of animal foods. Mr. Roland W. Rogers, receiving the degree of Master of Landscape Architec- ture, offered a thesis in which he has elaborated grounds and buildings for an agricultural school in Albania. This has been done in conjunction with and at the request of those responsible for the enterprise. Mr. Raymond A. Mooney, receiving the degree of Master of Science, has made a study of those ‘Physical Properties of Fertilizer Materials” which are con- stantly annoying to individuals handling fertilizers. Mr. Stanley W. Bromley received the degree of Master of Science and offered as a thesis a study of ‘‘The External Anatomy of the Horse Fly.” Such a study furnishes a basis for applications in eradication. Mr. Warren B. Mack, who is connected with Pennsylvania State College, was the recipient of the Master of Science degree. He contributed as a thesis a study of “The Growth and Bearing Habit of Apple Spurs.’’ The purpose of this study was to gain some knowledge of the peculiar habits of apple bearing that are familiar to those raising apples. Such work means much to agriculture. While it represents. intensely spe- ee investigation, yet it is the only method of moving ahead in any particular el Of course it is impossible to present in this connection the studies of graduate students apart from the above aspect of their activities, for graduate work is largely individual and its procedures independent. CHARLES EH. MARSHALL, Director of the Graduate School. (eo 19 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF SHORT COURSES. The work of the short courses is being carried on along the lines developed by former Director Phelan, with few apparent adjustments required at present. This report must deal largely with results secured during his tenure of office, for the present director did not assume charge until late in September. It is a pleasure to record here the fine type of organization as to curriculum, student morale, administrative machinery, and instructors, which has been built up by my pred- ecessor during the past seven years. Two-Year Course. One cannot help feeling that a distinct educational opportunity has been pro- vided with the development of the two-year short course. I believe it supplies a needed educational opportunity which, if broadly realized, will enable the Col- lege to constantly recruit the ranks of our agricultural population most directly. I say this because I do not view the decreasing enrollment figures in this course with alarm. In fact, with the Veterans’ Bureau trainees no longer a contributing factor because of the practical completion of the government’s rehabilitation program, we find the entering class this fall registers a slight increase. I am in- clined to believe this year marks the ebb of the tide and while no great inflow should result, classes of a more normal size can be expected. It is a source of much satisfaction to observe the capable work being performed by so many of the graduates in their various fields of occupation. Figures recently secured indicate that a large majority of the men and women, approximately eighty-six per cent, are actually engaged to-day in productive agricultural pursuits. We have no slight problem to secure the right kind of summer training jobs for the students’ practical work of six months in the freshman year. Ninety positions must be found for this year’s class alone. Many of the best farmers in the state are assisting us in this program, not only by taking students to meet their labor requirements of the summer, but in a number of cases they find such men highly desirable for permanent positions after graduation. We plan to lay even greater stress on the practical training of the two-year students during this summer period, with the idea that students demonstrating a high standard of farm ability may offset minor class-room discrepancies. On the other hand a few students easily maintain good class grades, only to show little zeal, initiative, or skill in their farm training. No parent should expect the College to pass such men with its approval as vocationally trained in agriculture. They belong else- where in industry. Mental tests given to the freshman group this year by the college department of education indicate a large percentage of the students have had much more than the minimum preparation required for the course. Arrangements were made for all male students to take the regular college physical examination, hitherto required only of members of athletic squads. This was conducted by Professor Curry S. Hicks, and the data secured has been helpful already in informing students of physical limitations, either chronic or corrective. Tabulation of Students by Majors studied.

A new short-course plan was put in operation by the Department of Floricul- ture to provide a more balanced training in flower-growing. It was planned to alternate this Florist School with a Nursery School, scheduled for the coming 20 P.D. 31. year. Not enough students registered to make this possible. A special course in Fruit Growing will be given in the winter of 1925 which should prove of interest to the fruit men of the state. The two week units in Dairy Manufactures, includ- ing ice-cream making and milk testing continue to prove popular, providing a short intensive course of lessons. New unit courses in milk plant operation and milk inspection replace butter-making and market milk as offered last year. Summer School. Collegiate credit for work taken in the summer school was given for the first time this year. This will undoubtedly interest,many teachers of the state who wish to continue their professional training along lines of study we are excellently equipped to carry on. To many teachers of agriculture the new credit system will serve to meet state requirements for advanced study. Placement Training and Supervision. For the Veterans’ Bureau field work three men are still employed under goy- ernment salary. This force is being reduced gradually as the federal training pro- gram for ex-service men approaches completion. The many problems in placing two-year students for summer training are being handled by Mr. Paul W. Viets with tact and understanding. He is making many valuable contacts with agricultural organizations to secure the best possible places and achieve the maximum results for both student and farm operator. RoLAND H.
