Massachusetts Ageicultukal College,
Amherst, Dec. 1, 1910.

To His Excellency Eben S. Draper.

SiE : — I have the honor to transmit herewith, to Your Ex-
cellency and the Honorable Council, Part I. of the forty-eighth
annual report of the trustees of the Massachusetts Agricultural
College, for the fiscal year ended ISTov. 30, 1910, this being the
report of the president and other officers of the corporation of
the college.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

KENYON" L. BUTTEKFIELD,

President.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE.

Gentlemen of the C orporation.

I herewith submit my fifth annual report as president of the
college.

Attendance.

The attendance of students of college rank for the last college
year exceeded that of the previous year by 68, and aggregated
320 four-years men, 12 unclassified students of college grade
and 18 graduate students; there were 260 in various short
courses, making a total attendance of 610. The entering class
the present autumn numbered 158, the largest previous fresh-
man class being 131, a year ago. The total number of four-
years men in present attendance is 402 ; of unclassified students,
17; of graduate students, 15. (See Table I.)

Eighty-five per cent, of the present freshman class come from
Massachusetts, with 9 other States and 1 foreign country,
China, represented.

About one-fifth of the class are undecided as to their intended
vocation; about one-third of the whole class state that they in-
tend to follow some phase of professional agriculture or horti-
culture ; and considerably more than one-third of the whole class
state that they intend to follow some phase of practical agricul-
ture or horticulture. !N"inety-one per cent, of those having made
a decision intend to follow an agricultural vocation. Less than
one-fourth of the fathers of the members of the freshman class
are engaged in agriculture or horticulture, and a trifle over one-
fourth of the members of the freshman class were brought up
on farms, although more than one-half of those not brought up
on a farm have had some farm experience. The average age of
the entering class is approximately nineteen years. (See Table
lY., J.)

Appkopriations.

The total amount of special appropriations asked of the last
Legislature was $277,500; the total amount granted was $115,-
625. An increase in the current annual appropriation was

6 AGRICULTUR.\L COLLEGE. [Jan.

asked, amoimting to $110,000 ; the amount granted was $37,500.
(See Table IL)

The legislative appropriation of $15,000 has enabled lis to
equip in a complete manner the new building for entomology
and zoology. Some delay was experienced in the completion
of the building and the installation of the equipment ; but the
building is now fully used, and was dedicated with appropriate
ceremonies ISTovember 11. The legislative appropriation of
$17,500 for the purchase of land has enabled the college to
acquire the larger proportion of the land on which options were
held.

The legislative appropriations for land made during the past
three years, aggregate $23,500. This money has been expended
in acquiring the following parcels : —

Appropriations for two new buildings were granted by the
Legislature : $12,000 for a laboratory for pomology and market
gardening, and $10,000 for a building for animal husbandry.

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 7

The former building, while essentially an instruction build-
ing, will afford admirable facilities for both experiment and
teaching in the subject of cold storage of fruits and vegetables,
for packing and for other forms of laboratory work in pomology.

The animal husbandry building fills a serious gap in the col-
lege equijDment, enabling the courses in stock judging to be put
on a thoroughly modern basis, affording also ample room for the
large classes entering during the short winter courses, serving
as an auditorium for gatherings of farmers to witness demon-
strations of various sorts, and, in general, as an arena for demon-
stration instruction. A brief description of both these buildings
follows.

Building for Pomology and Market Gardening. — The new
laboratory and storage building for pomology and market gar-
dening is 74 by 42 feet, and consists of basement, one story and
attic. In the basement are three large storage rooms, — one for
vegetables and two for fruits, — where the bulk of the larger
fruits and vegetables will be stored. On the ground floor is a
large laboratory room for pomology, 18 by 56 feet, where such
practicums as packing, testing spray apparatus, and other oper-
ations which require plenty of room, will be carried on. Ad-
joining this are three fruit rooms, — a large frost-proof room
and two refrigerated rooms, one large and one small, each with
its separate cooling apparatus, so that the rooms may be kept
at different temperatures. In the attic are large storage rooms
for fruit packages, ladders, spray pumps and the like. An
elevator connects the various floors.

The vegetable gardening rooms on the main floor consist of
a workroom; squash room, for storage; and four refrigerated
compartments, each with its separate cooling system, to allow
each being kept at a separate temperature. These rooms are de-
signed especially for experimental work, and will be used also
for the work of advanced students in vegetable gardening.

The Animal Husbandry Building. — This building, now
nearing completion, is located directly south of the horse barn.
It is 80 feet long and 50 feet wide, outside measurements, the
longest dimension running north and south. The arena, which
occupies the center of the building, is 27 by 78 feet, with tan-
bark floor and lar^e doors at each end. On the west side of this

8 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

there are five rows of seats, each row being fifteen inches above
the one in front of it, so that every seat gives an nnobstrncted
view of the arena. These seats will accommodate 180 persons
without crowding. Under these there is a detention stable for
stock brought from other farms; this will obviate the need of
putting such stock in the college stables, and will also serve as a
quarantine if needed. On the east side of the arena is a cement
walk 6 feet wide, with a visitors' gallery above that will easily
seat 63 people. In case of necessity chairs could be placed in
one-half of the arena, giving seating capacity for 500 persons.
A rolling partition across the center of the building makes it
possible to use it either as one large or two smaller class rooms
for judging, lectures or recitations.

The building is of brick, with slate roof, heated by steam and
lighted by electricity. The cost of maintenance should be low.

Commencement.
Commencement occurred June 22, and the college conferred
the degree of Bachelor of Science on 43 men, and the degree
of Master of Science on 1. The commencement address was
given by Mr. Lucius Tuttle, then president of the Boston &
Maine Railroad Company. President Tuttle' s address was a
strong discussion of the vocational trend of modern education.
It was followed by remarks by Governor Eben S. Draper. The
attendance at the alumni dinner was 178.

Summer School.

The summer school registration for 1910 was 229. A few
new courses were added, but in general the plans for our pre-
vious summer schools were duplicated.

In connection with the summer school there was held a gather-
ing that we believe to be unique in the history of agricultural
progress. Under the auspices of the summer school there was
held a " Conference of Rural Social Workers " for the four days
August 9 to 12 inclusive. The forenoon meetings consisted of
sections, or departments, the program for each of which had
been prepared by some organization representing a special in-
terest, and included meetings for country clergymen, teachers
of agriculture, rural teachers, local officers and paid workers in

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 9

the rural department of the Young Men's Christian Association,
lecturers of subordinate granges, officers of village improvement
societies, and rural librarians. Each afternoon all delegates
were brought together for a common program on some important
phase of country life. Each evening there were formal ad-
dresses. The total registration of different individuals for
the four days was 335, inclusive of perhaps 40 grange lecturers,
Avho were present only for one day.

The fundamental idea of the conference was that of bringing
together for consultation about concrete methods the local lead-
ers in the rural communities of Massachusetts. The attendance,
interest and even enthusiasm of those present fully justified
the meeting.

The Wiittee School.
The attendance at the winter courses was 64, this being about
the same number as enrolled in 1909. A special addition was
made by the giving of a two-weeks poultry course. The school
itself was concluded by a farmers' week, which furnished a most
admirable program, and brought together at least 559 different
people.

ExTEisrsioisr Work.
The extension work, begun so auspiciously a year ago under
the leadership of Professor William D. Hurd, has more than met
expectations. In fact, so pressing have been the calls for lec-
tures, for demonstration orchards, for correspondence courses
and for other phases of work, that our faculty has been wholly
unable to cope with this demand. One of the most progTessive
features of the last season's work was the running of a better-
farming trolley train in co-operation with the State Board of
Agriculture, the State forest service and the Springfield Board
of Trade. The !N^ew England Securities Company, managers
of some 600 miles of inter-urban trolley lines in Massachusetts,
furnished the train, and made most admirable plans for the
carrying out of the project. I speak of this enterprise particu-
larly because, so far as we know, it is the first time that the
inter-urban trolley has been used for agricultural educational
purposes. I cannot, however, neglect to call attention to the
great success of the better-farming train, run under the most

which we co-operated with the State Board of Agriculture, the

Changes in Faculty and Other Officers.

Last June, Professor Charles H. Fernald resigned as director
of the graduate school, professor of zoology and entomologist of
the experiment station. He was granted a pension from the
Carnegie Foundation, and was retained by the college as hon-
orary director of the graduate school.

Professor Fernald had served the college for twenty-four
years, and not only had he built up a strong department of
zoology, but he created the department of entomology, and built

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 11

it into one of the strongest departments of its kind in the
United States. It was under his leadership that the graduate
work of the college had its special development, and a large
number of his former pupils are occupying most important
teaching positions in the field of economic entomology. The
new building for entomology and zoology is a splendid monu-
ment to his labors, and indicates objectively something of the
jirofessional skill, teaching ability and conspicuous success of
f;his long period of service which Professor Eernald has ren-
dered to the Massachusetts Agricultural College.

I regret to record that soon after the beginning of this last
fiscal year Dean George F. Mills was taken suddenly and seri-
ously ill. For many weeks his condition was alarming, and it
was only after a prolonged convalescence- that in the late summer
he was enabled to leave the house. At the opening of the col-
lege year it was quite out of the question for him to resume his
duties as dean, and he was therefore granted a leave of absence
for the present college year. Students and faculty alike hope
that his full strength may come to him again, and that he may
be long with us in the most important and delicate position
which he occupies as dean.

In January, 1910, Professor Fred W. Morse accepted a tem-
porary appointment at the experiment station as assistant
research chemist ; in June the trustees made this position per-
manent for Professor Morse. Professor Morse received his
training at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, graduating from
that institution in 188T, and receiving his degree of M.Sc. in
1900. From 1888 to 1909 he was employed by the 'New Hamp-
shire College of Agriculture and Experiment Station ; from
1896 he was vice-director of the experiment station, and from
1889 he was professor of chemistry in the college there.

During the year the trustees created the department of zo-
ology and geology, and placed Assistant Professor Gordon in
charge; previously these two subjects have been separated.

Professor Waugh was granted a leave of absence for six
months, beginning February 1 ; he spent the period in Europe,
and at the opening of the present college year was back to take
up his work here. During the entire college year Professor F.
C Sears served with signal ability and marked success in Pro-

12 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

fessor Waugh's stead as acting head of the division of horti-
culture.

Mr. John R. Parker, graduate assistant in entomology and
pomology, resigned to accept a position at the Montana College
of Agriculture.

The course in rural law has been discontinued, and with it
the services of Judge Robert W. Lyman of ISTorthampton.

In February, 1910, Mr. Harold F. Tompson resigned as in-
structor in market gardening, and Mr. Charles S. Heller, a
graduate of the Michigan Agricultural College, was elected to
fill the vacancy.

Mr. Harry M. Jennison resigned his position as assistant in
botany to take up work of like character in Wabash College.

Mr. Burke Hough resigned as purchasing agent, and Mr.
William Chesley was appointed steward of the dining hall in
his place.

During the summer Mr. Carl D. Kennedy resigned as assist-
ant in the experiment station, and Mr. Clement L. Perkins, a
graduate of the ISTew Hampshire Agricultural College of the
class of 1910, was appointed to fill the vacancy.

In June Mr. Roy F. Gaskill resigned as assistant in animal
nutrition for the experiment station, and Mr. James R. Alcock
is now filling that position.

Mr. Arthur I. Bourne, a graduate of Dartmouth College and
formerly a graduate student at this institution, was made as-
sistant entomologist for the experiment station in place of Mr.
John IST. Summers, resigned.

During the summer Miss Ola H. Perrin resigned as clerk to
the director of short courses, and Miss Mabel R. Case, a grad-
uate of Boston University, was appointed to that position.

The following minor changes in titles, etc., are also to be
noted : —

In January, 1910, Dr. Joseph B. Lindsey was made vice-
director of the experiment station; the title of Professor
William D. Hurd was changed to that of director of extension
work; Professor James A. Foord was made permanent head
of the division of agriculture; Dr. James B. Paige has been
acting dean since Jan. 1, 1910, in the absence of Professor
Mills ; Mr. Anderson A. Mackimmie was elected assistant to

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 13

the dean; Professor Henry T. Fernald, on the resignation of
Professor Charles H. Fernald, was chosen entomologist for the
experiment station and acting director of the graduate school ;
Professor Philip B. Hasbrouck resumed his duties in Septem-
ber, after a year's leave of absence ; Assistant Professor William
P. B. Lockwood was made associate professor of dairying;
Assistant Professor Robert W. Neal was made associate pro-
fessor of English; Mr. Sidney B. Haskell was made assistant
professor of agronomy; Mr. Floyd B. Jenks was made assistant
professor of agricultural education; Dr. Alexander E. Cance
was made assistant professor of agricultural economics ; Mr.
Frederick B. McKay was made assistant professor of public
speaking and English; the title of Mr. John Summers was
changed to that of graduate assistant.

Officers foe ITew PositiojSts.

In 1909 the department of forestry was created; not until
August, 1910, was there secured a suitable man to take charge
of this work. Frank F. Moon, A.B., M.Fr., was elected as asso-
ciate professor of forestry, and began his duties September 1.
Professor Moon graduated from Amherst College in 1901, and
from Tale Forest School in 1909 ; he has had experience in the
United States Forest Service, and with the Fish and Game Com-
mission of N^ew York State.

Dr. Burton IST. Gates was chosen assistant professor of bee-
keeping. Dr. Gates graduated from Clark College in 1905
with the degree of A.B., and in 1906 received the degree of
A.M. from the same institution; he attended Cornell Univer-
sity and took his Ph.D. degree there in 1909. He has been
serving in the United States Bureau of Entomology since 1906
as expert in apiculture, and later as assistant in apiculture.
Dr. Gate's employment began July 1 ; he will serve as expert
in beekeeping for the experiment station and as inspector of
apiaries for the State Board of Agriculture, as well as as-
sistant professor of beekeeping in the college.

Mr. Alvah J. IN'orman was elected as instructor in pomology,
his services beginning Sept. 14, 1910. Mr. ISTorman graduated
from the Iowa State College in 1906, and received the degree
cf M.Sc. from the Maryland Agricultural College in 1910; he

14 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

will devote most of liis time to work in the extension and short
course department.

Mr. Charles J. Robinson has recently been made instructor
in dairying and animal husbandry. Mr. Robinson is a gradu-
ate of the University of Illinois of the class of 1909, and has
had wide experience in practical dairy work. He will assist
in the extension and short course work of the college as well as
in the regular courses.

Mr, Sumner C. Brooks fills the position as assistant botanist
for the experiment station created by the trustees in January,
1910. Mr. Brooks is a graduate of the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College of the class of 1910.

Mr. W. A. Turner is serving as assistant in chemistry. Mr.
Turner graduated from the Sheffield Scientific School in 1910,
with the degree of Ph.B.

The trustees authorized an assistant in the department of
English, and elected Miss Helena Goessmann of Amherst to
the position; Miss Goessmann's active services are to begin
Jan. 1, 1911.

Mr. E. M. J. Evans is serving temporarily as laboratory as-
sistant in bacteriology.

Miss Dorothy Mudge of Boston was appointed to the posi-
tion of clerk in the office of the treasurer, created by the trus-
tees in June, 1910.

Death of Dr. GoESSMANisr.

On September 1, Dr. Charles A. Goessmann passed away.
His connection with the college began in January, 1869, and
continued uninterruptedly until 1907, when he was relieved of
his active duties and made honorary director of the experiment
station, and in June, 1908, honorary professor of chemistry.

I cannot here record the services nor eulogize the work of
Dr. Goessmann. Appropriate memorial exercises were held in
the college chapel October 12, and some steps will be taken to
preserve in permanent form a record of his work. But I can-
not refrain from calling your attention to the fact that it is
the work and the character of men like Dr. Goessmann that,
after all, make an educational institution great and strong.
We need land, we need buildings, we need teaching equipment

1911.1

and apparatus; but we must liave superior men. A strong,
virile man with, inferior equipment is worth any number of
inferior men with the most modern equipment. One lesson of
Dr. Goessmann's life as it affects the management of our col-
lege is that of careful selection of strong investigators and
teachers, and reasonable and justifiable rewards for their work.

Legislative Budget.
The legislative budget, as voted by the board of trustees at
its meeting in Boston, JSTovember 4, may be summarized as fol-
lows : —

General improvements, 25,000

$187,500

A brief statement or explanation of the need of these various
amounts may well be made a part of this report.

Reclassijication of Current Funds. — The trustees voted to
ask the Legislature for an increase in current annual income,
totaling $90,000 a year, divided into six different heads, repre-
senting the main types of work followed by the institution,
namely: administration, maintenance and equipment, investiga-

16 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

tion, instruction, short courses and extension teaching, inspec-
tion service.

An explanation of the increases asked for will be clearer if
I retain the old classification at this point. The following are
the items : —

Instruction. — Increase, $15,000. This amount would bring
the total for instruction purposes to $70,500, $5,000 more
than was asked of the Legislature last year. This increase is
necessary in part because of the increase in attendance of stu-
dents. During the past four years many of the subjects required
of all students, such as chemistry, mathematics and English,
have doubled in attendance. The instruction force in these
subjects, however, has very slightly increased. The consequence
is that the teaching sections are inordinately large, — so large,
in fact, that it is out of the question to get the best results of the
teaching. These fundamental subjects, given to the students in
the early years of their college course, should be given under the
very best auspices, and one of the prime requisites is an ample
teaching force, so that small sections may be the rule and so
that no teacher shall be overworked. The close personal atten-
tion of first-class instructors in these subjects and at this time
of the college course is vital to strong work on the part of the
students. At least seven additional instructors are needed at
once for work in chemistry, entomology, English, French and
German, physics and mathematics.

The scope of our agricultural colleges is constantly broaden-
ing. ISTot many years have passed since a professor of agricul-
ture and one or two assistants sufiiced for instruction in agri-
culture ; now there are numerous departments under the general
name of agriculture, and we rarely find a professor of agricul-
ture. In our own college during the past few years the profes-
sorship of horticulture has been broken up into professorships
of landscape gardening, pomology, floriculture, market garden-
ing and forestry. While we wish to avoid undue multiplication
of departments, we must recognize new fields of work. At pres-
ent the college gives no attention whatever to some very impor-
tant branches of agricultural instruction. A State college of
agriculture also has an obligation to turn out good citizens and
well-rounded men. It is important, therefore, that we have

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 17

well-developed departments of economics, political science, etc.
We ought to be able to establish next autumn departments of
farm mechanics, bacteriology, poultry husbandry, economics and
sociology, in addition to the instructorships already named.
These important departures I realize cannot all be made even
with an increase of $15,000 a year additional for instruction;
but they demonstrate the need of at least that much increase
as a minimum.

Maintenance. — Increase, $15,000. This increase would
bring the item of maintenance and equipment to a total of
$88,000. While the treasurer's report shows a comfortable
financial balance for the fiscal year, this balance was purchased
at the sacrifice of several new departments which in justice
to the students should have been established this last autumn.
ISTot only have we new instructors and departments to provide
for, but the large entomological building must be heated and
lighted and cared for ; the new buildings for animal husbandry
and pomology will require similar support, and the increase
in the number of students necessarily calls for some increased
cost of maintenance. In order to provide for this natural
growth it is necessary that the maintenance item shall be con-
sidered an essential appropriation.

Graduate School. — Increase, $2,500. This increase was
recommended last year. The graduate school is very impor-
tant, but cannot be developed without more funds, and the
amount asked for is exceedingly small for the purpose.

Normal Department. — Increase, $5,000 a year. This de-
partment needs clerical help and additional instruction. The
department had over 7,000 boys and girls in corn and potato
clubs this past season, and this valuable work can be greatly —
almost indefinitely — increased with the proper ofiice help and
supervision. The amount is the same as that asked last year.

Short Course and Extension Work. — Increase, $15,000.
The short course and extension work has grown very rapidly
during the past year. "Not less than 9,000 people were reached
by the better-farming trains. Over 250 people are taking cor-
respondence work in agriculture. Scores of lectures are given
by our college teachers, and many more declined for laxik of men
to send. Demonstration orchards have been started in various

18 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

parts of the State, and many others are demanded. It is ex-
ceedingly important that we should be able to push a strong
educational campaign in Massachusetts on behalf of dairy
farms. We also want to take advantage of the new interest in
corn growing. In some respects this extension work is the
most important work of the college, because it reaches the great
body of farmers directly with practical instruction and help
regarding modern methods of agriculture and horticulture.

Student Labor. — Increase, $2,500 a year. This is needed
because of the large increase in the number of students.

Agricultural Survey. — $5,000 a year. The United States
Department of AgTiculture proposes to make a soil survey of
the State, but insists upon our co-operation. In order to carry
on in adequate fashion a comprehensive campaign of agri-
cultural education in Massachusetts, it is necessary that we
shall make an inventory of the agricultural resources of the
State. We need a soil survey. We need to map the orchard
lands and corn areas, to study farm management, to investigate
the conditions that govern the sale of the farmers' products,
and even to study the community life and institutions. In this
way alone can we know thoroughly the real problems of Mas-
sachusetts agriculture and country life, and be prepared to give
the very best advice. Some phases of this work are being done
in many other States, and we should not lag behind. The will-
ingness of the United States Department of Agriculture to
co-operate places an obligation upon the State of Massachu-
setts.

Grounds. — $5,000. This amount is needed annually for the
development of roads, walks, drives, plantings and the general
care of the same. The amount at present expended is in the
neighborhood of $2,000 a year, and is simply an up-keep, and,
indeed, is not sufficient for that, and does not permit of any im-
provements whatever.

Bepairs. — $15,000 a year. I recommended in my last re-
port that we should ask the Legislature for not less than $15,000
a year for the purpose of the contingent repairs. This amount
is about 3 per cent, of our inventoried valuation of buildings,
and is by no means excessive. At present we are obliged to
ask each Legislature for a special appropriation for this pur-

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 19

pose. We could manage the matter in a much m.ore business-
like fashion, and relieve the Legislature of the necessity of
going over small details, if we had this amount coming to us
annually.

Equipment. — $10,000 a year. The same arguments ad-
vanced for the permanent repair item apply to the permanent
item of teaching equipment and apparatus for the various de-
partments of the institution. It is expected that whenever a
new building is erected a special appropriation shall be asked
for to equip that building thoroughly. This item is intended
to maintain the inventory of existing departments with respect
to teaching equipment, apparatus, farm tools, live stock, etc.,
and is designed to take the place of the special legislative item
for these purposes which goes to the Legislature each year.

AdTYiinistration. — This item in the new classification repre-
sents the salaries and ofiice expenses of the officers of the insti-
tution whose duties are largely or wholly administrative. It is
also intended to include a small amount, perhaps $5,000, which
shall serve for emergencies of various types. The new classi-
fication will make it possible to present a more complete picture
of the work of the institution and the expenditures of money,
and I trust may be adopted by the Legislature.

Requests for Appropriations for Special Purposes.

Improvements, West Experiment Station Building. —
$7,500. This building has been quite outgrown by the develop-
ment of experimental work in chemistry and by increase of
inspection service devoted to fertilizers and feed stuffs. The
experimental work particularly is seriously handicapped by
this lack of room. Last year the Legislature was asked to ap-
propriate $28,000 for the enlargement of this building. It was
thought at the time that the best plan would be to enlarge the
building sufficiently to serve both the instruction work and the
research work in chemistry. The appropriation was refused
by the last Legislature, and the plans during the past summer
were redrawn. Estimates obtained on the revised plans indi-
cated that the amount of $28,000 would not be enough to make
the changes, and the trustees decided that under these circum-

20 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

stances the best policy was to spend a comparatively small
amount of money in some minor changes in the present build-
ing, and then plan for an entirely new building, to be asked
for in the early future, for the purpose of housing the experi-
ment station work in chemistry. It is thought that $7,500
will make it possible to continue the inspection service in this
building for many years to come, and will temporarily give
relief to the research work in chemistry.

Enlargement of Draper Hall. — $25,000. This improve-
ment was asked for last year. The present dining hall barely
accommodates the present number of students, and next autumn
will undoubtedly be entirely too small for the probable number
in attendance. When the building was erected less than 75
students took their meals at the dining hall. At the opening of
this fall term nearly 350 students were taking their meals
there, although the number has decreased somewhat since then;
but during the ten weeks' winter school there will be a demand
from 75 or 100 more men for boarding facilities. It is easily
seen, therefore, that this is an improvement that is well-nigh
imperative.

Dormitory. — $20,000. At the present time the college is
housing on the college campus about 75 out of its 400 students.
It is difficult for students to find rooms in the village, and often
the price that they are obliged to pay is beyond the ability of
students who are working their way through college. A study
has been made of the problem of securing a modern dormitory
at a minimum cost. The plans as presented call for a well-built
structure of pleasing architecture, with modern conveniences,
the specifications showing that it can be built for an expenditure
not exceeding $400 per occupant. On this basis the trustees
believe that it will be possible, at a rental to the students not to
exceed $1.25 per week, to heat the building, furnish janitor
service, provide for future repairs, and still secure a return on
the investment of at least 4 per cent.

Dairy Building and Equipment. — This appropriation was
asked of the Legislature last year, the same amount and practi-
cally the same plan, $75,000. The dairy industry is the largest
single agricultural industry in the State of Massachusetts. It
deserves special recognition by the Commonwealth, and particu-

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 21

larly on the educational side. This building will enable us to
develop a thoroughly modern plant. The dairy work at the
college is very popular, both with the regular and special stu-
dents. The present facilities are wholly inadequate.

Department Equipment. — $15,000. This item comprises
miscellaneous teaching apparatus and office equipment for the
various departments.

Repairs. — $20,000. To be used for general repairs about
the institution, — repairs of buildings, offices, heating and light-
ing plant, water system, sewer system, etc.

General Improvements. — $25,000. This covers miscella-
neous items as presented by the treasurer of the college and other
various departments, such as small buildings for beekeeping,
sheep sheds, storage building for plumbing and carpenter equip-
ment, intercommunicating telephone system, improvements in
the electric light plant, new sewers, etc.

Special mention is gladly made concerning the large number
of botanical and horticultural books recently given to the
library by Mr. George C. Woolson, 1871, of Yonkers, l!»[. Y.
The larger part of the collection belonged originally to Mr.
Woolson's brother-in-law, the late Dr. George Thurber, a botan-
ist of wide reputation, and whom Dr. Sargent of Harvard
described as the most accomplished horticultural writer in the
country.

In presenting these books to the library Mr. Woolson gives
them as a memorial to the class of 1871, and this idea is to
be conveyed by the special bookplate which is to be made for
this collection. A detailed description of this splendid gift of
about 1,200 volumes cannot be made at this time, but it is in-
tended to publish something of that nature in one of the college
publications at an early date.

Massachusetts Agricultural College.

History. — The Massachusetts Agricultural College was among
the colleges organized under the national land grant act of 1862.
This act gave public lands to the several States and Territories for
the establishment of colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the
mechanic arts; it was framed by the late Senator Justin Smith
Morrill of Vermont. For our own college, liberal appropriations
are also made by the Legislature of Massachusetts.

The college was incorporated in 1863, and on the 2d of October,
1867, vfas formally opened to an entering class of 33. In January,
1875, an arrangement was made with the authorities of Boston
University under which the college, without losing its independence,
became the school of agriculture of the university. Under this
arrangement, graduates of the Massachusetts Agricultural College
may, upon certain conditions, receive the diploma in science
awarded to graduates of the university. In 1882 the State experi-
ment station was located at the college. It has since been incor-
porated with the college.

Courses. -^ The college offers a free education to any American
student who may fulfill the requirements of admission. Women
are admitted on the same standing as men. Foreign students pay
a tuition fee. The four-years course leads to the degree of bachelor
of science, and graduate courses are given leading to the degrees of
master of science and of doctor of philosophy. Winter courses of
ten weeks are offered, and, upon announcement, special courses.
There is also a summer school of agriculture, designed chiefly for
persons desiring to teach agriculture in the elementary and high
schools.

Purpose of the College. — 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 pur-
suits, such as general farming, dairying, the management of es-
tates, fruit growing, glass farming, landscape gardening, forestry
and arboriculture. Students also qualify for positions in institu-
tions designed for investigation in the many sciences underlying

10 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

the great agricultural industry, for teaching in agricultural col-
leges and high schools, and for business occupations having con-
nection with the farm and needing expert service.

Though the agricultural vocations are thus the chief concern of
the college, students also find the course one that fits them admira-
bly for pursuits in which the sciences — particularly chemistry,
physics, mathematics and engineering — are an essential prepara-
tion. Still other students find the course a splendid general edu-
cation, without regard to future occupation. The course is well
balanced; each student is required to study English, a modern for-
eign language, literature^ political science and history.

Location and Equipment. — Situated in the beautiful town
of Amherst, the college has an inspiring outlook. The campus is
especially attractive. The grounds comprise more than 475 acres,
lying about a mile north of the village center. The equipment of
the college, both in buildings and facilities for instruction, is excel-
lent. Amherst, 97 miles west of Boston, is on the Central Vermont
Railroad and the Central Massachusetts division of the Boston &
Maine Railroad. Electric car lines connect the village with North-
ampton, Holyoke, Springfield and other cities. The town library
is open to students, in addition to the college library, as are also
good courses of lectures and concerts in the village, supplementing
the various interests of college life.

The Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment

Station.

Massachusetts provided for the establishment of an agricultural
experiment station in 1883. This station^ though on the college
grounds and supported by the State, was without organic connec-
tion with the college. Under an act of Congress, passed in 1887,
an agricultural experiment station was established as a department
of the college. It was supported by the general government. For
a time, therefore, Massachusetts had two experiment stations at the
college. In 1894 these were combined, and the station reorganized
as a department of the college. It is now supported by funds from
both the State and the general government. In 1906 the general
government largely increased its support of experiment stations, on
condition, however, that the money thus provided should be used
only for research. The station now receives about two-fifths of its
support from the State.

The station is under the direct supervision of the Board of
Trustees. The chief officer is the director, who is responsible to
the president and to the committee of the Board. The station is
organized into a number of departments, all co-operating toward
the betterment of agriculture. In most cases the heads of the sta-
tion departments are heads of corresponding departments in the
college. The work of the station takes three directions; namely,
control work, extension work and investigation. The station pub-
lishes numerous bulletins and two annual reports, one scientific, the
other for practical farmers and for general distribution. These
publications, conveying information as to results of experiments,
are free, and circulate extensivel)^, the mailing list containing some
20,000 addresses.

Admission.

A. Application for Admission.

Correspondence about admission should be addressed to the
registrar.

Every applicant for admission to the college must be at least
sixteen years old, and must present to the registrar proper testi-
monials of good character. Such testimonials, whenever possible,
should come from the principal of the school at which the applicant
has prepared for college. Candidates who desire to present them-
selves for examination in any subjects must make application to
the college for such privilege on or before June 1 of the year in
which examination is desired. Blanks for such application may be
obtained by addressing the registrar of the college. If an appli-
cant desires a free State scholarship, he must also present to the
registrar a certificate of appointment from the State Senator of
his district. Blanks for this purpose also may be obtained of the
registrar. All entrance credentials must be in the hands of the
registrar before the applicant can matriculate.

B. Modes op Admisssion.

Students are admitted to the freshman class either upon certifi-
cate or upon examination. ISTo diploma from a secondary school
will be considered.

Certificates. — The entrance requirements may be met by cer-
tification in any of the following ways : —

1. By presenting certificate from a school approved for such
privilege by this college.

2. By presenting certificate from any school approved by the
college entrance examination boards.

3. By presenting the customary credentials from the Board of
Kegents of the State of New York for any of the subjects of the
entrance requirements.

Certificates must present at least three of the six required sub-
jects for admission, and not less than seven of the necessary four-
teen credits in all. Those subjects lacking on certificate (except for

26 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

the permitted number of conditions) must be made up at the time
of the examinations for admission.

Blank forms for certification — sent to principals or school su-
perintendents only — may be obtained on application to the regis-
trar of the college.

Examinations. — The examination in each subject may be oral
or written, or both. The standard required for passing an examina-
tion for admission is 65 per cent. Conditions to the amount of
two units will be allowed.^

Places of Examination. — Examinations for admission to the col-
lege are held as follows : —

In June of each year : in Amherst, in the building of the Depart-
ment of Mathematics, Massachusetts Agricultural College; in Bos-
ton, in the College of Liberal Arts of Boston University, Boylston
Street, corner of Exeter; in Worcester, in Horticultural Hall.

Schedule for Entrance Examinations, June 21-2Jf, 1911. — The
examinations in June will follow this schedule : —

First Bay.

^Entrance with Condition in English. — Under the rule permitting entrance conditions of not
more than two units of the preparatory subjects, applicants may be admitted, upon examina-
tion, with a condition in English under these restrictions: (1) The parts of the preparatory
study in English wiD be valued by the examiners approximately as follows in entrance units: (a)
composition, etc., one and one-quarter units; (6) reading and study (including interpretation,
three-quarters of a unit; see p. 28), one and three-quarters units; total, 3 units. (2j The appli-
cant to show, upon examination, satisfactory preparation in work amounting to not less than
two units.

The purpose of this provision is to avoid the possible injustice of excluding, without further
trial, applicants who appear to be deficient in preparation in only one subject; and the exami-
nation will be so set as to permit the estimating of separate credits to carry out this purpose.

Attention is called to the standing rule of the uniform entrance requirement bodies concerning
English as an admission subject; namely, that applicants whose work is seriously lacking in cor-
rect spelling, punctuation, grammar or other elementary essentials of good usage will be rejected.

Students so admitted, must, to remove the condition, pass an examination covering the
regular 3-units requirement.

2 Candidates who have no examination at the time set for registration may register at the time
of their first examination should the> so desire.

PRESENTATION OF NOTE-BOOKS. — The keeping of a note-book is
required as part of the preparation in those subjects indicated (see note 1).
Candidates presenting themselves for examination in such subjects
must present at the same time the required note-book, properly certified
by the principal. Candidates presenting such subjects on certificate
should not present note-books ; but their certificate must state that note-
books have been satisfactorily completed.

D. Statement * of Peeparation eequieed for Admission.

In some cases the requirements of the College Entrance Examination
Board are here mentioned. A pamphlet containing detailed explanation
of these requirements can be had of the Board for 10 cents. Address sub-
station 84, New York City.

Ageictjlture. — Owing to the wide divergence of the methods
of teaching agriculture in the public schools, the student will be
required to bring a statement from the principal of the amount and

» If but one elective unit be offered, it must be in the same language as that offered to meet
the two-year language requirement.

kinds of work accomplished and of the text-books used. The exam-
ination will be based somewhat upon this information; but it will
call for not less than one-half year of creditable work of high school
grade.

Botany. — For one unit of credit in botany, the work outlined
in the statement of requirements issued by the College Entrance
Examination Board, or its equivalent, will be accepted. This work
should occupy one school year and include laboratory and supple-
mentary text-book study. For one-half unit of credit, work that
covers the same ground but occupies half the time required for a
full unit of credit will be accepted. These requirements are met
by such texts as Stevens's " Introduction to Botany " and Bergen
and Davis's " Principles of Botany." A note-book containing neat,
accurate drawings and descriptive records forms part of the re-
quirement for either the half -unit or the one-unit credit; and this
note-book must be presented by all applicants for admission upon
examination in this subject. The careful preparation of an herba-
rium is recommended to all prospective students of this college,
although the herbarium is not required.

Chemistry. — The entrance examination in chemistry will cover
the work outlined by the College Entrance Examination Board as
preparatory for college entrance. In general, this consists of a year
of high school chemistry from such text-books as Newell's " Descrip-
tive Chemistry " or Eemsen's " Elements of Chemistry," with lab-
oratory work on the general properties of the common elements,
some of the experiments being quantitative. The keeping of a
note-book is required.

Commercial Geography. — Preparation should be given in a
course equivalent to that laid down in Adams's " Commercial Geog-
raphy," Trotter's " Geography of Commerce," or a similar work.

Drav7INg. — Applicants may offer either freehand or mechanical
drawing, or both. They must be able to make an accurate freehand
sketch, in either outline or light and shade, of the appearance of a
group of geometric solids, and have a sufficient knowledge of per-
spective to enable them to draw correctly a simple geometric model
from memory; or, if they present mechanical drawing, they must
have considerable working familiarity with drawing instruments,
and be able to make an accurate inked working drawing, in ortho-
graphic projection, of some simple object. Emphasis is laid on
facility in doing good freehand lettering. For a limitation of the
work that may be presented see " Manual Training."

English. — Preparation in English should develop in the candi-

30 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

date (1) ability to express himself well and correctly in his mother
tongue, and (2) ability to penetrate through language to the mean-
ing that underlies it.

All candidates for admission — whether by examination or by cer-
tification — are urged to secure a thorough training in composi-
tion, in which at least part of the subjects written on shall be
derived from personal observation, experience and thought. They
are urged to cultivate especially, in all their writing, the habit of
correctness in spelling, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure
and paragraph building. This habit will be of much greater help
to them in their work in the college than will mere knowledge of
the prescribed books.

In the examination, direct questions may be put, including ques-
tions upon grammar. Several compositions, each about one hun-
dred and fifty words long, will be required, including papers to test
the candidate's ability to think and write clearly, either on mat-
ters involving personal experience or on topics involving knowledge
of the books. All candidates received as members of the freshman
class are expected to be able — as a result of their study of the
books prescribed " For Study and Practice " — to paraphrase or in-
terpret, with some insight, unfamiliar verse or prose of medium dif-
ficulty, in which the meaning does not depend on anything outside
the passage itself; and, as part of every examination, at least one
passage is given for such interpretation.

The list of books for 1911-12 is made up from the list recom-
mended by the Conference on Uniform Entrance Requirements in
English. The examination will be based upon these; but an ap-
plicant who has prepared upon other books of the longer list will be
examined thereon if he notify the Department of English of his wish
before the first day of June preceding the examinations.

" Essay on Burns."

For 1913, 1914, 1915: —

English Grammar and Composition. — Command of correct and
clear English (spoken or written) requires instruction in grammar
and composition. English grammar should ordinarily be reviewed
in the secondary school; and correct spelling and grammatical ac-
curacy should be rigorously exacted in connection with all written
work during the four years. The principles of English composi-
tion governing punctuation, the use of words, paragraphs, and the
different kinds of whole composition, including letter writing, should
be thoroughly mastered; and practice in composition, oral as well
as written, should extend throughout the secondary school period.
Written exercises may well comprise narration, description and easy
exposition and argument based upon simple outlines. It is ad-
visable that subjects for this work be taken from the student's per-
sonal experience, general knowledge and studies other than English,
as well as from his reading in literature. Finally, special instruc-
tion in language and composition should be accompanied by con-
certed effort of teachers in all branches to cultivate in the student
the habit of using good English in his recitations and various ex-
ercises, whether oral or written.

Literature. — Ability to read with accuracy, intelligence and ap-
preciation is sought through study of books included in two lists,
headed respectively " Eeading " and " Study," from which may be
framed a progressive course in literature covering four years. In
connection with both lists the student should be trained in reading
aloud, and encouraged to commit to memory some of the more

32 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

notable passages, both in verse and in prose. As an aid to literary-
appreciation, he is further advised to acquaint himself with the
most important facts in the lives of the authors whose works he
reads, and with their place in literary history.

(a) Reading: The aim of this course is to foster in the stu-
dent the habit of intelligent reading, and to develop a taste for good
literature by giving him a first-hand knowledge of some of its best
specimens. He should read the books carefully, but his attention
should not be so fixed upon details that he fails to appreciate the
main purpose and charm of what he reads.

With a view to large freedom of choice, the books provided for
reading are arranged in the following groups, from which at least
ten units (each unit being set off by semicolons) are to be selected,
two from each group : —

I. The " Old Testament,'^ comprising at least the chief narra-
tive episodes in Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings
and Daniel, together with the books of Euth and Esther; the
" Odyssey," with the omission, if desired, of books I., II., III., IV.,
Y., XV., XVI., XVII. ; the " Iliad," with the omission, if desired,
of books XL, XIIL, XIV., XV., XVIL, XXI. ; VirgiFs " ^neid."
The " Odyssey," " Iliad " and " ^neid " should be read in English
translations of recognized literary excellence.

For any unit of this group a unit from any other group may
be substituted.

Dream;" "As You Like It;" "Twelfth Night;" "Henry the
Fifth ; " " Julius Caesar."

III. Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe," Part I.; Goldsmith's "Vicar
of Wakefield ; " either Scott's " Ivanhoe " or " Quentin Durward ; "

"David Copperfield" or "A Tale of Two Cities;" Thackeray's
"Henry Esmond;" Mrs. Gaskell's "Cranford;" George Eliot's
" Silas Marner ; " Stevenson's " Treasure Island."

IV. Bunyan's " Pilgrim's Progress," Part I. ; " The Sir Roger
de Coverley Papers " in " The Spectator ; " Franklin's " Autobiog-
raphy " (condensed) ; Irving's " Sketch Book," Macaulay's "Essays

a brief memoir or estimate ; Parkman's " Oregon Trail ; " either
Thoreau's " Walden," or Huxley's "Autobiography " and selections

from ''Lay Sermons," inclnding the addresses on " Improving
Natural Knowledge;" "A Liberal Education" and "A Piece of
Chalk;" Stevenson's "Inland Voyage" and "Travels with a
Donkey."

y. Palgrave's "Golden Treasury" (first series), books II. and
III., with especial attention to Dryden, Collins, Gray, Cowper and
Burns ; Gray's " Elegy in a Country Churchyard " and Goldsmith's
"' Deserted Village ; " Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner " and Lowell's
" Vision of Sir Launf al ; " Scott's " Lady of the Lake ; " Byron's

attention to Wordsworth, Keats and Shelley ; Poe's " Eaven," Long-
fellow's " Courtship of Miles Standish," and Wliittier's " Snow
Bound;" Macaulay's "Lays of Ancient Eome" and Arnold's "Soh-
rab and Eustum ; " Tennyson's " Gareth and Lynette," " Lancelot
and Elaine " and " The Passing of Arthur ; " Browning's " Cavalier
Tunes," " The Lost Leader," " How They Brought the Good News
from Ghent to Aix," " Home Thoughts from Abroad," " Home
Thoughts from the Sea," " Incident of the French Camp," " Herve
Eiel," " Pheidippides," "My Last Duchess," "Up at a Villa —
Down in the City."

(&) Study: This part of the requirement is intended as a nat-
ural and logical continuation of the student's earlier reading, with
greater stress laid upon form and style, the exact meaning of words
and phrases, and the understanding of allusions. For this close
reading are provided a play, a group of poems, an oration and an
essay, as follows : —

Shakspere's " Macbeth ; " Milton's " L'Allegro," " II Penseroso "
and " Comus ; " either Burke's " Speech on Conciliation with Amer-
ica," or both Washington's " Farewell Address " and Webster's
" First Bunker Hill Oration ; " either Macaulay's " Life of John-
son," or Carlyle's " Essay on Burns."

Examination} — However accurate in subject-matter, no paper
will be deemed satisfactory if seriously defective in punctuation,
spelling or other essentials of good usage.

The examination will be divided into two parts, one of which
may be taken as a preliminary, and the other as a final.

The first part of the examination will be based upon ten units
chosen, in accordance with the plan described earlier, from the lists
headed reading; and it may include also questions upon grammar

' Read in connection with this statement the first three paragraphs under "English," pp. 27,
28.

34 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

and the simpler principles of rhetoric, and short compositions
upon topics drawn from the student's general knowledge or ex-
perience. On the books prescribed for reading, the form of the
examination will usually be the writing of short paragraphs on
several topics which the candidate may choose out of a considerable
number. These topics will involve such knowledge and apprecia-
tion of plot, character-development and other qualities of style and
treatment as may be fairly expected of boys and girls. In gram-
mar and rhetoric, the candidate may be asked specific questions
upon the practical essentials of these studies, such as the relation
of the various parts of a sentence to one another, the construction
of individual words in a sentence of reasonable difficulty, and those
good usages of modern English which one should know in distinc-
tion from current errors.

The second part of the examination will include composition and
those books comprised in the list headed study. The test in com-
position will consist of one essay or more, developing a theme
through several paragraphs; the subjects will be drawn from the
books prescribed for study, from the candidate's other studies and
from his personal knowledge and experiences quite apart from read-
ing. For this purpose the examiner will provide several subjects,
perhaps five or six, from which the candidate may make his own
selections. The test on the books prescribed for study will consist
of questions upon their content, form and structure, and upon the
meaning of such words, phrases and allusions as may be necessary
to an understanding of the works and an appreciation of their
salient qualities of style. General questions may also be asked
concerning the lives of the authors, their other works, and the
periods of literary history to which they belong.

English, Elective. — To secure a fourth entrance credit in
English, the applicant should do (a) the equivalent of three years'
work, five periods weekly (required English), and also (&) the
equivalent of a fourth year's work, five periods weekly. Appli-
cants not certified with a fourth entrance credit will be examined.
In order, however, that examination questions may be prepared, the
applicant for examination should notify the Department of Eng-
lish by the first of June preceding the examinations, stating which
English subject or subjects he wishes to present.

Subjects accepted. — The applicant may offer (a) any one of
the subjects stated hereunder, or (&) any two of these subjects in
combination.

(a) History of American literature.

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 35

(h) History of English literature (or lives of the great authors).

(c) Classics other than those read to meet the three-credit re-
quirement, the applicant to present a complete list of his readings.
The reading for the fourth credit should be of the same detailed,
careful kind as is given the books prescribed for " Eeading and
Practice " in the official list of entrance requirement readings.

(d) Advanced composition.

(e) History of the English language.
(/) Advanced high school grammar.

Advanced Standing in College. — Whether advanced standing
shall be given applicants entering with a fourth credit in English
will be determined by consideration of each case individually.
Much weight is given to the ability of the student to express him-
self correctly and clearly, to think clearly, and to grasp the mean-
ing of printed language. A special examination will be given in
the opening week of college, notice of which will be posted on the
English bulletin board.

Presentation of Note-iooTcs and Themes. — Applicants for ex-
amination, either for fourth-unit credit or for advanced standing,
are advised to present the note-books, themes, etc., prepared by them
in the preparatory school, as an aid toward determining their
proficiency.

Peench. — The necessary preparation for this examination is
stated in the description of the tM^o-year course in elementary
French recommended by the Modern Language Association, con-
tained in the definition of requirements of the College Entrance
Examination Board.

Third and fourth year French (elective subjects for admission).

— For a single credit unit in French as an elective subject for
entrance, when required units have been oifered in French, the
work described by the College Entrance Examination Board as
" intermediate " is expected. For two credit units, the work de-
scribed as " intermediate " and " advanced " is expected.^

Geology. — Grouped with zoology, which see.

GeemajST. — The entrance requirements in German conform to
those of the College Entrance Examination Board for elementary
German (the standard two-year requirements).^

Third and fourth year German (elective subjects for admission).

entrance, when required units have been offered in German, the

^If the two required and two elective modern language units are offered in French and
German, the work known as " Elementary " may be offered in both cases.

36 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

work described by the College Entrance Examination Board as
" intermediate '' is expected. For two credit units, the work de-
scribed as " intermediate " and " advanced " is expected.

Gkeek. — Greek will receive credit as an elective requirement
upon either examination or certification, as follows : —

1. Two credit units will be allowed if satisfactory proficiency is
shown (including grammar) in {a) the translation of a passage or
passages taken from the first two books of Xenophon's " Anabasis ; "
and (&) the translation of passages of Attic prose at sight.

2. Three credit units will be allowed if, in addition to the above,
satisfactory proficiency be shoAvn in (a) the translation of a passage
or passages selected from the first book of Homer's " Iliad," and
( 1) ) translation of passages of Homer's " Iliad " at sight, with
questions on the forms and constructions of the passages.

History. — Of the one and one-half required units the one-half
unit must be offered in United States history and civics, and the
one required unit must be offered in either ancient history, medieval
and modern history, English history or general history. Either one
or two elective units in any one of the historical subjects here named
may be offered, provided that such units may not be offered in the
same subject in which the required unit has been offered.

Preparation in history will be satisfactory if made in accordance
with the recommendations of the committee of seven of the Amer-
ican Historical Association, as outlined by the College Entrance
Examination Board. The examination will require comparisons
and the use of judgment by the candidate rather than the mere use
of memory, and it will presuppose the use of good text-books,
collateral reading and practice in written work. Geographical
knowledge may be tested by requiring the location of places and
movements on an outline map.

To indicate in a general way the character of the text-book
work expected, the texts of the following authors are suggested :
Botsford, Morey or Myers, in ancient history (to 814 A.D.) ;
Adams, West or Myers, in medieval history; Montgomery, Earned
or Cheyney, in English history; Myers or Fisher, in general his-
tory; Fiske, together with MacLaughlin or Montgomery, in United
States history and civics.

Latin. — Latin will receive credit as an elective requirement
upon either examination or certification, as follows : —

shown (including grammar) in {a) the translation of a passage or
passages taken from Caesar's " Gallic War," books I. to lY., or an

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 37

equivalent, and from Cicero's "Orations against Catiline;" and
(6) the translation of passages of Latin prose at sight.

2. Three credit units will be allowed if, in addition to the above,
satisfactory proficiency be shown in (a) the translation of a passage
or passages selected from books I. and II. of Virgil's "JEneid;"
and (&) the translation into Latin prose of a passage of connected
English narrative based on some portion of Csesar's " Gallic War,"
books I. to IV.

Manual Training. — An entrance credit of one-half or one
unit is allowed for manual training, on the presentation of a cer-
tificate from the principal of the school showing the scope and
character of the applicant's work. The preparation may include
mechanical drawing, working in wood, metals, leather, etc. When
mechanical drawing is presented as a part of the work in manual
training, no other credit for drawing will be allowed. No examina-
tion is given in this subject; applicants must present certificates
to secure credit.

Mathematics. — (a) Required. — Algebra: The four funda-
mental operations for rational algebraic expressions; factoring,
determination of highest common factor and lowest common mul-
tiple by factoring; fractions, including complex fractions; ratio
and proportion; linear equations, both numerical and literal, con-

text-books, including the general properties of plane rectilinear
figures; the circle and the measurement of angles; similar poly-
gons ; areas ; regular polygons and the measurement of the circle ;
the solution of numerous original exercises, including loci problems ;
applications to the mensuration of lines and plane surfaces.

(6) Elective.- — Solid Geometry: The usual theorems and con-
structions of good text-books, including the relations of planes and
lines in space ; the properties and measurement of prisms, pyramids,
cylinders and cones ; the sphere and spherical triangle ; the solution

of numerous original exercises, including loci problems; applica-
tions to the mensuration of surfaces and solids.

Plane Trigonometry: A knowledge of the definitions and rela-
tions of trigonometric functions and of circular measurements and
angles; proofs of the principal formulas and the application of
these formulas to the transformation of the trigonometric func-
tions; solution of trigonometric equations, the theory and use of
logarithms, and the solution of right and oblique triangles.

Physics. — To satisfy the entrance requirement in physics, the
equivalent of at least one unit of work is required. This work
should consist of both class-room work and laboratory practice.
The work covered in the class room should be equal to that outlined
in Hall & Bergen's " Text-book of Physics ; " the laboratory work
should represent at least thirty-five experiments involving careful
measurements, with accurate recording of each in laboratory note-
book. This note-book, certified by the instructor in the subject,
must be submitted by each candidate presenting himself for exam-
ination in physics; credit for passing the subject will be given on
laboratory notes and on the examination paper submitted. Candi-
dates entering on certificate will not be required to present note-
books, but the principal's certification must cover laboratory as
well as class-room work.

Physiology. — Hough & Sedgwick's " The Human Mechan-
ism ; " Martin's " The Human Body : Briefer Course."

Zoology, Physiography, Geology. — The following sugges-
tions are made concerning preparation for admission in the sub-
jects named above : —

For physiography, Davis's " Elementary Physical Geography ; "
Gilbert & Brigham's " Introduction to Physical Geography." For
zoology, text-books entitled "Animals " or "Animal Studies," by
Jordan, Kellogg and Heath ; Linville & Kelley's " A Text-book in
General Zoology." For geology, A. P. Brigham's "A Text-book
of Geology " or Tarr's " Elementary Geology."

Applicants for examination in zoology are required to present
certified laboratory note-books; applicants for examination in the
other subjects are advised to present a note-book, if laboratory
work has been done. Good note-books may be given credit for
entrance. Examination in these subjects will be general, in recogni-
tion of the different methods of conducting courses; but students
will be examined on the basis of the most thorough secondary school
courses.

Department of Botany.
Professor Stone, Assistant Professor Osmun.

[The object of the courses in botany is to teach those topics pertaining to the science which have
a bearing upon economic and scientific agriculture. Undergraduate work extending through
five semesters is offered. Considerable latitude is allowed students in the senior year in their
electives; and, besides the courses here outlined, students often take up the study of histology
or of systematic botany, the microscopic examination of pure and adulterated human and cattle
foods, spices and drugs, etc. Students sufficiently prepared are occasionally permitted to under-
take special physiological and pathological investigations. A botanical conference is held monthly
wherein new problems in botanical science are considered by graduate students and the seniors
who elect botany. ]

[The courses in chemistry aim to teach accurate observation, logical thinking and systematic
and constant industry, together with a comprehensive knowledge of the subjects presented. In-
struction is given through text-books, lectures and a large amount of laboratory work under
supervision. The laboratory work at first consists of the study of the properties of elementary
matter, the analysis of simple combinations, and their artificial preparation. This is followed
by the quantitative analysis of salts, minerals, soils, fertilizers, and the chemistry of various
manufacturing industries, especially those of agricultural interest, such as are concerned in the
production of sugar, starch and dairy products; the preparation of animal and plant foods, their
digestion, assimilation and economic use; and the official analysis of soils, insecticides, fungi-
cides, waters, milk, wine, and other animal and vegetable products.]

54 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

7. Agricultural Chemistry. — A course continuing through
the two semesters of the junior year. This course and Course 8
are designed as an alternative for Courses 5 and 6. They are
especially intended for those who, having completed Courses 1 and
2, do not care to continue the study of chemistry for itself, but
who are planning to enter practical agricultural work and desire
a somewhat further knowledge of chemistry as it is related directly
to agriculture and agricultural problems. The work is planned in
two parts, viz.. Course 7, Inorganic Agricultural Chemistry, the
study of the general composition, properties and reactions of soils
and fertilizers, and in addition to this the study of some of the
common materials of construction, such as tile, brick, cements,
paints, oils, etc. ; and Course 8, Organic Agricultural Chemistry,
the study of plants and animals as to composition, nutritive value
and general processes of nutrition and growth, and also the study
of products manufactured from them, such as milk, butter, sugar,
maple syrup, denatured alcohol, wood pulp, paper, etc. The treat-
ment of the subject in both of these courses is entirely general,
avoiding all complicated chemical facts and relationships, and en-
deavoring simply to make the student acquainted with the chemical
aspect of agricultural processes and products. Prerequisites,
Courses 1 and 2. Juniors; those electing Course 7 are expected to
elect Course 8 ; lectures, 3 hours. Credit, 3.

work, and who have had Courses 5 and 6, Course 13 will give
acquaintance with the chemistry of the physiological processes in
plants, and the action of physiological substances. Together with
Course 14, it gives additional training in the chemical problems
of agricultural experiment station work, and it will, with the
courses in analytical chemistry, fit men for such work. To those
who will not take up scientific lines of work, but will follow prac-
tical agriculture, it will give additional knowledge of the facts and
processes with which they will meet. It will consider more exactly
and in greater detail the chemical and physiological aspect of
problems which were treated generally in Courses 7 and 8. Pre-
requisites, Courses 5 and 6, or 7 and 8. Seniors ; lectures, 2 hours ;
laboratory, 2 hours. Credit, 3.

Associate Professor Chamberlain.

14. Physiological Chemistry, Animal. — A continuation, or
counterpart, of Course 13, but dealing with animals. Prerequisites,
Courses 5 and 6, or 7 and 8. Seniors ; lectures, 2 hours ; laboratory,
2 hours. Credit, 3. Associate Professor Chamberlain.

15. Chemical Problems. — A course in the historical progress
of agricultural chemistry. The inception and growth of modern
knowledge in agricultural chemistry will be intimately studied for
the purpose of familiarizing the student with the experimental work
and the logical processes of the more notable achievements in this
department of chemistry. The course includes work in the biog-
raphy and literature of research, as well as general chemical history.
The classic works of Liebig, Wohler, Liebermann, Baeyer, Gilbert,
Henneberg, ToUens, Fischer and others will be taken up. In the
light of the studies made, present-day problems in agricultural
chemistry will be examined and methods for their solution tried.

theory, with a large amount of practice in this subject, is given
under the close supervision of a teacher. The methods followed are
in the first place comparative. Then the preferred official methods

56 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

are intimately studied, especially with reference to their limita-
tions. The students are impressed with the fact that, even at this
late day, all of these methods require revision, and are only await-
ing the clear head of the learned man and the expert technician
for their improvement. Prerequisite, Course 4. Seniors; lectures
1 hour, laboratory 9 hours. Credit, 5.

B. Analysis of Foods and Fodders. — This course is pursued in
a method uniform with that of Course 11 A. Both courses are in-
tended to fit men for experimental station and control work, as well
as for research efficiency. The latest results of alimentation, physi-
ology and the composition of foods and condiments are studied.
The students will be urged to make inquiry for themselves in the
fields of study. Prerequisites, Courses 5 and 6, 9 and 10, 13 ; co-
requisite, Course 14; lecture 1 hour, laboratory 9 hours. Credit, 5.

C. Chemistry of Sugar Malcing and Refining. — In this course,
after the chemical character of sugar and its function as a food
have been determined, the theory and practice of the subjects
named will be intimately studied. This involves practice in the
analysis of many common chemicals, minerals and manufactured
products, such as limestone, coal, boneblack, sulphites, clays, etc.
The behavior of sugars and allied substances toward light, qualita-

[A knowledge of insects is of importance in every department of life, and particularly in con-
nection with agriculture, horticulture, biology, landscape gardening and forestry; it therefore
forms part of a general education. An introductory course in this subject is accordingly offered
in the junior year. For those who desire a further knowledge of the subject, because of its im-
portance to their future occupation, a senior course is also offered, so arranged as to be of especial
value for those who expect to take up agriculture, horticulture, landscape gardening, forestry or
science teaching. ]

as desk editing, proof reading, and especially the writing of news
stories in simple reporting style — being deemed necessary as train-
ing preparatory to any kind of journalistic work. The chief differ-
ences between the courses are, (1) that Course 9 A (agricultural)
opens more immediate opportunities for practical work, as pub-
lication for a limited amount of the student writing is found in
agricultural periodicals; and (2) that Course 95 (periodical)
opens the way for more varied observation and investigation, and
for more varied experience in writing,' contributing in these ways
to general culture, as Course 9A contributes to specialized training.
In addition, the course in periodical writing has in mind the in-
creasing importance of rural journalism as an influence and occu-
pation in the developed rural community.

printing, etc. The class, organized as an editorial staff, is to issue
a periodical. It is responsible for " covering " events, desk editing,
copy and proof reading, making " dummies " and writing legends
for illustrations, completing " forms " and " publishing " the pe-
riodical upon schedule time, etc. The first semester will be devoted
principally to newspaper wi'iting; the second semester to periodical
writing. Two hours. Credit, 2.

[C. Proseminar in Journalism. — Informal, beginning with a
study by individual students of editorial writing and of types of
magazine writing, such as " descriptive " articles, research articles,
" human interest " articles, and articles in " popularized " science.
Members of the class are expected to formulate through these
studies theories of journalism and journalistic writing, to state
them in thesis form, and to produce articles of the kinds studied.
Reference reading and reports upon current periodicals may be
called for. Given only b}'' special arrangement. One hour.

Department of Military Science and Tactics.
Captain Mautin.

[The Department of Military Science and Tactics conducts its work in conjunction witli the
Department of Physical Education and Hygiene, in accordance with the following statement : —

All candidates for a degree in a four-years course must take for three years three full hours a
week of physical training. This work must be under college supervision. At least two years
of the work must be taken in the Department of Militarj^ Science and Tactics, in accordance
with the requirements of the War Department; the rest is to be taken in the Department of
Physical Education.

Under this arrangement, the practical (drill) courses in Military Science are given up to the
Christmas recess and from the close of the spring recess to the end of the semester each year;
the corresponding courses in Physical Education occupy the intervening time.

Under act of Congress (July 2, 1862), military instruction under a regular army officer is re-
quired in this college of all able-bodied male students. Men are excused from the exercises of
this department only upon presentation of a certificate given by the college physician; minor
disabilities which might bar enlistment are not considered. Students excused from military
duty may be required to take equivalent work. The object of the instruction is to disseminate
military knowledge in order that in emergency trained men may be found to command volun-
teer troops; but a further object is to give physical exercise, to teach obedience without detract-
ing from self-respect, and to develop the bearing and courtesy that are as becoming in a citizen
as in a soldier. Absences and other offences of military nature, and those of which the military
instructor may take cognizance as affecting discipline, are dealt with by the commandant in
accordance with the regulations of the department; but delinquencies in theoretical instruction
not strictly military in their nature are dealt with in accordance with the riiles of the faculty.

Cadets in the graduating class who have shown special aptitude for military service are re-
ported to the Adjutant-General of the United States army and to the Adjutant-General of Mas-
sachusetts; in making appointments from civil life to the regular or volunteer army, preference
is given to those who have been so reported. The names of the three most distinguished are
published in the " Official Register of the United States Army." Assignments to the band are
made by the military instructor. Practice in the band is credited in place of drill and theoretical
instruction.

A dark blue uniform, old army pattern, costing about $15, is worn by all cadets when on military
duty, and may be worn at other times. The uniforms are procured through an authorized tailor.
Students upon entering college are required to deposit $15 with the college treasurer to cover the
cost of the uniform. The sale of old uniforms is prohibited, unless the consent of the military
instructor be obtained.]

The Graduate School.

The Geaduate School.

Kenyon L. Butterfield, a.m., LL.D., President of the College.

Henry T. Fernald, Ph.D., Acting Director of the Graduate School and
Professor of Entomology.

Graduate courses leading to the degrees of master of science and
doctor of philosophy have been given for a number of years. De-
mands for these courses have now greatly increased, and in recog-
nition of the benefits to be derived from a separate organization,
a distinct graduate school has been established for the purpose of
fitting graduates of this and other institutions for teaching in
colleges, high schools and other public schools; for positions as
government, State and experiment-station agriculturists, bacteri-
ologists, botanists, chemists, entomologists, horticulturists and
zoologists; and for numerous other positions requiring a great
degree of skill and scientific knowledge.

Admission.
Admission to the graduate school will be granted : —

1, To graduates of the Massachusetts Agricultural College.

2. To graduates of other institutions of good standing who have
received a bachelor's degree substantially equivalent to that con-
ferred by this college.

In case an applicant presents his diploma from an institution
of good standing, but has not, as an undergraduate, taken as much
of the subject he selects for his major as is required of under-
graduates at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, he will be
required to make up such parts of the undergraduate work in that
subject as the professor in charge may consider necessary. He shall
do this without credit toward his advanced degree.

Admission to the graduate school does not necessarily admit to
candidacy for an advanced degree, — students holding a bachelor's
degree being in some cases permitted to take graduate work without
becoming candidates for higher degrees.

Applications for admission to the graduate school should be
presented to the director of the school. Full statements of the
applicant's previous training, of the graduate work desired, and

88 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

of the amount and kind of work already done by him as an under-
graduate should be submitted, — together with a statement whether
the applicant desires to work for a degree.

Registration is required of all students taking graduate courses,
the first registration being permitted only after the student has
received an authorization card from the director.

Nature and Methods of Graduate Work.

Persons taking graduate work will find this quite different in
its nature from undergraduate courses. A broad knowledge of
two (or three) subjects is required, and the professors in charge
of these may adopt any methods which may seem desirable to
secure this to the student. Lectures, laboratory and field work in
various forms are utilized; but whatever the m^ethod chosen, the
aim is to train the students in methods of original investigation
and experiment, inductive reasoning and the ability to carry on
independent research. In addition to the lectures, a large amount
of outside reading is required, the object being to give a broad
knowledge of all aspects of the subjects chosen, in addition to the
complete knowledge of those portions involved in or directly re-
lated to the original investigation which is to result in the thesis.
Originality and ability to lead in scientific research after complet-
ing graduate work, and the establishment of a broad and thorough
foundation upon which these qualities must be based, are the ob-
jects aimed at; and any methods which promise to give these
results may be made use of (varying according to the nature and
personal equation of each student), the supervision being largely
individual rather than collective.

Candidates for the degree of master of science are required to
prosecute two subjects, one of which shall be designated as the
major and the other as the minor. These subjects may not be
selected in the same department.

Candidates for the degree of doctor of philosophy are required
to prosecute three subjects, one of which shall be designated as
the major, the others as minors. jSTo two of these subjects may
be taken in the same department.

Advanced students who are not candidates for degrees may, with
the approval of the faculty of the school, take more than one sub-
ject in the same department.

A statement of the subjects chosen must in each case be sub-
mitted to the director of the school for approval by the necessary
committee. The chosen subjects must bear an appropriate relation
to each other.

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 89

A working knowledge of French and German is essential to
successful graduate work, and students not having this will find
it necessary to acquire it as soon as possible after entering.

A description of the equipment of the various departments is
given under " General Information."

Theses.

A thesis is required of each candidate for an advanced degree.
It must be on a topic belonging to the candidate's major subject,
must show that its writer possesses the ability to carry on original
research, and must be an actual contribution to knowledge.

The thesis in its final form, ready for the printer, must be sub-
mitted to the director of the school for examination by the com-
mittee on the graduate school before the candidate for the degree
may take the required oral examination. The candidate for the
doctor's degree must be prepared to defend at the oral examination
the views presented in the thesis.

All theses become the property of the department in which they
are prepared. When they are printed, five copies of each thesis
must be deposited with the department.

Pinal Examinations.

For the degree of master of science, a final examination, which
may be either written or oral, or both, is given upon the completion
of each subject.

to give the student a technical training in botany, to develop the
spirit of research and to lay a broad foundation in the subject.
(As a supplement to this course the student will do well to take,
in addition to his prescribed minor work, a brief course in the his-
tory of philosophy and psychology.) Extensive reading of botanical
literature, both general and specific, is required in certain subjects,
and occasional lectures are given. A botanical conference is held
monthly, in which various new problems of botanical science are
considered by graduate students and the seniors who elect botany.
A thesis dealing with some economic problem in plant physiology
or pathology, or in both, and containing a distinct contribution to
knowledge, is required.

Chemistry. — The following subjects in chemistry may be
studied : —

mated) ; lives of prominent entomologists; methods of collecting,
preparing, preserving and shipping insects; important collections
of insects.

(e) Seminar. — A monthly meeting of graduates, at which re-
ports on current literature are presented and varioiis entomological
topics of importance are discussed.

(/) Required Readings. — The best articles on the various
topics named above and on the different orders of insects, to cover
from fifteen thousand to twenty thousand pages of English, French
and German, the candidate to be examined at the close of his course
on this with his other work.

the results of original investigation upon one or several topics, and
constituting a distinct contribution to knowledge, must be com-
pleted before the final examinations are taken.

11. For the degree of doctor of philosophy as a minor, and for
the degree of master of science either as a major or minor: Such
portions of the course outlined above as seem most appropriate to
their other subjects are given to students taking entomology as a
minor.

Purpose and Organization of Farmers' Week.

Farmers' week is given by the Massachusetts Agricultural Col-
lege for the benefit of those who cannot leave their homes or
business for a sufficient length of time to take the other short
courses.

Farmers' week is divided into sections, so that all who attend
may find work of interest to them in progress each day.

1. General agricultural section, — including animal husbandry,
dairying and poultry raising. Features of this section are "corn
day," with a big corn show, and " dairy day," with exhibits of
dairy machinery and dairy products.

2. General horticultural section, — including fruit growing,
market gardening, fioriculture and forestry, A feature of this
section is " apple day."

102 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

3. Women's section, — home economics, domestic science and
home making.

Eminent people are secured for the evening meetings. One
day is given up to a discussion of problems of " community
building."

4. Beekeepees' Course.

May 24:-June 7, 1911.
Announcement.^

Throughout the year the Massachusetts Agricultural College
has been receiving calls for a course in beekeeping. To meet the
demand, a short course, covering the lines indicated, has been
arranged.

During the past year the college has come into possession of
about twenty colonies of bees and some other equipment. These,
together with the swarms owned by the college faculty, will give
most excellent equipment.

The work as laid out is of the most practical nature, and every
attempt will be made to emphasize the points which are of the
most value, yet are little understood by those engaged in this in-
dustry.

The following experts in. beekeeping have given the work : —

Courses and Faculty.

1. Practical phases of beekeeping. Dr. Burton N. Gates.

2. Crops for honey bees. Dr. Wm. P. Brooks.

3. The relation of bees to the pollination of plants. Dr. George E. Stone.

4. The origin and evolution of the honey bee. Dr. Henry T. Feknald.

5. Bees and beekeepers' supplies. Dr. James B. Paige.

C. THE SUMMER SCHOOL.^

2. Faculty.

3. Election of Courses.

4. Conference for Eural Social Workers.

1. Announcement and General Plans.
The summer school of agriculture and country life at the Mas-
sachusetts Agricultural College opened July 11, 1910, for a term
of nearly five weeks, closing August 12. This was the fourth

1 1910 course; 1911 course not yet ready.

2 Description here given ia for the 1910 school.

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 103

session of this summer school, those of the past three years having
been highly successful. The experience of these three years aided
in making material improvements for the session of 1910.

The work of the summer school was designed originally for
school teachers, and the attendance has been largely of that class.
Special attention will be given to the needs of teachers again this
year. It has been found, however, that there are many persons
who seek a general knowledge of theoretical and practical agri-
culture, and who can come to the college conveniently during the
summer season. Extended courses will be offered for the benefit
of such persons also.

From the courses it will be possible to make up programs of
work suitable to the needs of almost every one, but especially to
school teachers, principals, superintendents, school committeemen,
farm owners, householders, suburban residents, clergymen, pastors,
preachers, social workers, and those who have only a general interest
in agriculture. Persons who are in doubt as to what courses will
best suit their needs would better correspond with the director of
the summer school, who will gladly advise in all such matters.

The formal instruction in the summer school was given in
thirty definite courses, herein described. From these each pupil
might elect courses providing not less than ten nor more than
fifteen exercises a week, unless a larger or smaller amount of work
be allowed by the director. These courses included a large amount
of field work, observation trips, outdoor exercises and laboratory
experiments.

Besides these, general field exercises will be arranged for one
afternoon of each week. These will be on topics of interest to all.
Class excursions will be arranged for every Wednesday afternoon,
and more extended excursions for the whole school will be planned
for every Saturday. These excursions will be in charge of an
instructor as heretofore. In the past they have proved a very
enjoyable feature of the work.

Pound tables and special discussions will be arranged by various
instructors as their courses require. A conference of rural social
workers and educators of New England was held August 9, 10,
11 and 12. An outline of the conference will be found in another
part of this bulletin.

. A course of evening lectures on popular topics relating to the
work of the school was a feature of the general program. Like
everything else connected with the summer school this lecture
course is entirely free to all students.

S. Election of Courses.

Election of courses should be made at the time of registration.
Every election is subject to the approval of the director and of
the instructor whose course is elected. As it will be necessary to
schedule several courses at the same hour, certain combinations
of courses will be made unavailable. It should be especially
noticed that certain courses are offered to a limited number of
pupils only, and, as a rule, pupils will be accepted in these courses
in the order of application. Each pupil should choose such com-
binations of courses as will keep two or three subjects in hand at
the same time. This will meet the requirement that each one
must take at least ten and not more than fifteen exercises a week,
unless permitted to take more or less by special order of the
director.

Attendance will be required in the courses elected. Some sort
of examination, test or permanent note-book will be required in
each course. Those who complete the courses in a satisfactory
manner, including practically perfect attendance, will be given
certificates at the close of the term showing what work has thus been
completed.

There are no rules or regulations whatever. Persons are not
admitted to the summer school who are not old enough to know
how to behave, and every one is expected to loiow and conform to
the usages of good society. This absence of rules has worked
admirably in the past, and it gives every one a sense of freedom
based on personal responsibility, the basis of all proper govern-
ment, whether in school, college or the community.

106 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

4. Conference of Agricultural Educators and Rural Social

Workers.

The last four days of the summer school will be given over
to a conference of agricultural educators, rural social workers
and others who are interested in developing country life. As
its name indicates, this will be a conference in every sense of
the word, every one being expected to take part in the informal
discussions.

It- is expected that persons representing the following lines of
work will be present : rural school teachers, grade teachers of
agriculture, high school teachers of agriculture, college teachers
of agriculture, rural clergymen, rural librarians, grange lecturers,
village improvement societies and others.

The plan of the program will be as follows: each of the above
sections of workers will be asked to arrange a program, covering
two hours in length, for their respective sections each forenoon.
An afternoon general section will be held, at which some subject,
such as the education of rural communities, the social life of
rural communities, the religious life of rural communities, and the
organization of forces for rural betterment, will be taken up each
day.

Among the prominent speakers at the 1910 conference were
Dr. S. A. Knapp of Washington, D, C, Dr. Josiah Strong of
ISTew York City, and Prof. Charles Zueblin of Winchester, Mass.

The bulletin of the 1911 summer school will be ready about
March 1, and can be had by applying to the director.

D. ITINERANT INSTRUCTION.

1. Correspondence Courses.

2. Lecture Courses.

3. Other Itinerant Instruction.

1. The Correspondence Courses.
a. Purpose and Description of the WorTc.
The correspondence courses announced in this circular are
offered by the Massachusetts Agricultural College in response to
calls from all sections of the State, from people who desire agri-
cultural information, but who, for various reasons, cannot come
to the college for it. These courses are designed to meet the needs
of farmers, dair5rmen, stock breeders, fruit growers, market gar-

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 107

deners, floriculturists and teachers, either in elementary schools,
high schools, academies or normal schools.

Since agricultural science and practice have changed and are
changing so rapidly, it is the purpose to give a summary of the
latest information on the subjects treated, yet in such language
that any who pursue the study can readily understand the work.
Additional courses, covering other subjects, will be added later.

b. Method of conducting the WorTc.

While a large number of books have been written on various
agricultural subjects, few of them are especially adapted to corre-
spondence course work. For this reason our courses are conducted
principally by especially prepared lessons. ' These lessons partake
somewhat of the nature of the lectures given in the regular college
work. Whenever possible, a text-book is used for reference and
supplementary study.

The lessons are sent out one at a time by the college, and are
either accompanied or followed by a list of questions. When these
are satisfactorily answered or discussed, the next lesson is sent,
and so on.

It is recommended that students take up the work in some
logical order, i.e., the courses in " soils " and " manures and fer-
tilizers " should precede those in " field crops," " fruit growing "
or " market gardening."

After these preliminary courses have been completed, two or
more courses of study may be pursued at the same time, provided
the student can devote sufiicient time to the work to carry it on
successfully.

The courses are especially recommended to granges for study,
and it is to be hoped that grange lecturers, or some other interested
person, will organize study classes. Wlien this is done, a repre-
sentative of the college will visit the grange from time to time to
conduct the class, discuss the work and offer suggestions.

d. Expenses of the Courses.

In order that none shall enroll but those who are interested and
desire to pursue earnest study, a small fee is charged. This has
been fixed at the uniform rate of $1 for each course, payable in
advance at the time of enrollment.

This fee is not charged to cover cost of preparing the course,
for this, in time of the instructors, is many times what is received,
but it is to defray expenses of postage and material used in the
preparation of the lessons, and to insure a higher quality of work
from those who enroll.

The cost of a text-book, when one is used, is in addition to
this enrollment fee.

Remittances should be made by money order or check.

e. Enrollment.

Students may enroll at any time by applying to the director of
extension work, either personally or by letter. Enrollment should
be made on the card which is furnished by the college.

Membership in the correspondence courses entitles the student
to receive the books used in the various courses, and others, at
reduced prices.

/. List of Reference BooJcs for Supplementary Reading.

Eor those who desire to add some of the latest books to their

libraries, for teachers who wish material for their work, or for

librarians who desire to place on the shelves of their libraries, the

latest agricultural publications, arrangements have been made with

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 109

the Orange Judd Publishing Company, Lafayette Place, New York
City, N". Y., to supply books at reduced prices.

A classified list giving prices (postpaid) will be furnished by
the college to all who apply for it.

2. The Lecture Courses.

The college also offers lecture courses. The lectures can be ob-
tained by any agricultural organization, grange, farmers' club,
board of trade, women's club. Young Men's Christian Association,
church club or school, or by others who are interested in problems
pertaining to agriculture and country life. Single lectures, or a
series comprising a course, can be arranged for.

Lectures and Subjects. — The faculty of the college are, of
course, men busy with regular college duties, and can undertake
only so many outside lectures as will not seriously interfere with
their regular college work. Por this reason it is advisable that
those desiring lectures for a fixed date .should make a second, and
perhaps a third, choice, also, of lecturers, in order to secure some
one.

A Lecture without a Lecturer.
The college is now prepared to send a stereopticon, a written
lecture and a set of lantern slides to accompany the lecture to
responsible persons who desire to use these before public gatherings.
A rental fee of $1 and express both ways is charged. The fol-
lowing lectures will be ready for the winter of 1910-11: —

Clean milk, production and handling.

Apple growing.

Types and breeds of animals.

History, uses and culture of corn.

Potato growing.

The organization and work of the Massachusetts Agricultural College.

Home and school ground decoration.

Teaching agriculture, school gardening, etc., in the public schools.

Concrete: its use on the farm.

Other subjects will be announced later.

The Practical Demonstrations.
The college is prepared to send an expert who will bring with
him the necessary apparatus, whenever possible, to give practical
demonstrations of different operations connected with agricultural

.110 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

practice. The following are some of the demonstrations most
commonly given : —

The production and handling of clean milk,

Babcock milk testing.

Scoring and judging live stock.

Spraying fruit trees.

Packing apples.

Pruning and grafting.

Scoring and judging fruit.

Corn selection and judging.

Demonstrations in beekeeping as announced by Dr. Gates in circular.

Others may be given when requested.

Terms on which Lectures and Demonstrations are given.

The idea of offering these lectures to the public is that as large
a number of people of .the State may receive the instruction as is
possible. When no admission fee is charged, the lectures and object
lessons will be given free, provided the organization or individual
requesting the lecture will pay the traveling expenses of the per-
son giving the lecture. When admission is charged, the lecturer
shall receive compensation in addition to his traveling expenses.

Correspondence is invited regarding the selection of subjects for
a course of lectures.

3. Othee Itinerant Instruction.

Besides the correspondence and lecture courses and the practical
field demonstrations, the college is carrying on several kinds of
itinerant instruction. Calls are constantly made on the college for
help to be given at a distance from the institution; and to meet
these calls a corps of field agents is being engaged. These men
and women will serve as traveling instructors, giving instruction
varying in length from a single lecture to traveling-school courses
lasting several days.

Demonstration Orchards. — The college is establishing these
orchards in all sections of the State. The owner of the land fur-
nishes four or five acres and signs a contract to carry out the
instructions of the college for fifteen years. The college furnishes
the trees, a spraying outfit and the necessary supervision free of
charge. Renovation plots in neglected orchards are also taken by
the college for improvement for a period of five years. Educa-
tional meetings are held at these orchards each season.

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No^- 31. HI

Educational Teains. — In the past year a train consisting of
five ears, extensively equipped with demonstration apparatus, was
run over the lines of the Boston & Albany Eailroad. A trolley
train of five cars was run over the trolley lines centering in Spring-
field. Fifteen lecturers and demonstrators accompanied these
trains.

Educational Exhibits at Fairs. — The college makes exhibits
at the principal fairs in the State. In connection with these ex-
hibits an extensive lecture program is given.

Traveling Schools. — When so requested the college organ-
izes itinerant schools of instruction, lasting from three to five days,
in good agricultural centers. The program is somewhat similar to
that given at the college "farmers' week." The program is given
without cost, providing the cost of halls and advertising is met
by the community where the school is held.

Traveling Libraries. — To meet an increasing demand for
information concerning agricultural books the college is preparing
to send to libraries and schools a collection of some of the best
books on agriculture and allied subjects.

Extension WorTc hy Students.

In order to aid in a practical way in the solution of the prob-
lems in the rural community, a new line of work has been under-
taken by the extension department as student extension work.

Members of the college Young Men's Christian Association who
have shown ability in community building are largely employed in
this form of extension. The object of the work is two-fold:
(1) to develop the country boy and acquaint him with the pos-
sibilities of the farm, indirectly reaching his parents and ultimately
amalgamating the various factors of the community for the purpose
of fostering a more wholesome community spirit; (2) to train the
college students to cope with the rural problem in order that later
they may exercise the right leadership in the community.

The work is being developed with regard to religious, educa-
tional, social and physical interests. The religious work embraces
the teaching of Bible classes, leadership in singing at Christian
Endeavor and other meetings, the holding of meetings in different
towns by members of the college Young Men's Christian Associa-
tion, the encouragement of church socials, etc.

The educational work includes study of the social and economic
problems of the town, the teaching of English to foreigners, con-
ducting classes in agriculture, with practical work, lecturing on

112 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

agricultural subjects, beautifying home grounds, developing borne
flower gardens, leading nature-study tramps, organizing debates
and encouraging boys to further schooling.

The social effort is to encourage and develop all activities in town
tending to create a broader and more unified community interest ;
such activities are church entertainments, school entertainments,
musicals, etc.

Physical education is given through talks about clean living and
physical culture, and by development of different branches of
athletics under efficient moral leadership.

The plan involves much competition, tending to bring the people
of the different towns into a closer relationship.

The work thus far has been confined to those communities within
easy reach of the college, but it will gradually extend over a wider
area. The work is popular and promises to become one of the
most important agencies in the development of the rural com-
munity.

Miscellaneous Itinerant Instruction.

A number of other kinds of work are demanded of the college
through the extension work. Among these might be mentioned
aid in the organization of crop and animal improvement societies,
the conducting of demonstration experiments and plot tests in all
sections of the State, making agricultural surveys, doing advisory
work with schools. State institutions and individuals, furnishing
the services of agricultural experts to those who need help, giving
advice on farm management, and answering thousands of inquiries
each year.

In short, the spirit of the extension work is that of service, and
an effort is made through it to render the departments of the Mas-
sachusetts Agricultural College as helpful to the people of the
Commonwealth as they can be. Correspondence is invited from
any who desire such help as has been spoken of. Letters should
be addressed to the Director of Extension Work, Massachusetts
Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass.

General Information.

A. FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTEATIVE.

Student Expenses.

Tuition. — Tuition is free to citizens of the United States ; but
students who are citizens of Massachusetts should apply to the
senator of the district in which they live for a free scholarship.
Blank application forms may be obtained from the registrar. The
tuition charged persons not citizens of the United States is $130
a year.

Dormitories and Board. — The college has dormitory accom-
modation for about 64 students. The rooms in the dormitories are
occupied chiefly by the upper classmen, hence new students are
obliged to room in private houses. The rooms in the college
dormitories are unfurnished. They are mostly in suites of three,
— one study room and two bed rooms. They are heated with
steam and lighted with electricity. Students care for their rooms
themselves. The rent for each person ranges from $39 to $66 a
year. The rent for furnished rooms in private houses ranges from
$1.50 to $3 a week for each occupant. All correspondence in re-
gard to rooms should be addressed to the dean of the college.

Board can be had at the college dining hall. Board is furnished
at cost. At present the price of board is $4 a week. The price
is determined by adding to the audited rate of the previous three
months' period 5 per cent. At the end of the period, final settle-
ment is made on the basis of actual cost.

Expenses.
The necessary college expenses per year are estimated as fol-
lows : —

Tuition: Citizens of Massachusetts free through State
scholarships; other citizens of the United States
free; foreigners, $120 a year.

Eoom in college dormitories or in private houses.
Board in college dining hall, $4 a week, .
Laundry, 50 cents to 85 cents a week, .

116 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

Othee Expenses. — Prospective students should understand
that the above estimates cover expenses which may be called strictly
college expenses, and that there are other financial demands made
upon students which they should expect to meet. Chief among
these are class assessments, support for the Musical Association
and the Y. M. C. A., and taxes levied for maintenance of various
student organizations, such as the Social Union, Athletic Associa-
tion, college " Signal " (paper), etc. Such expenses vary from $15
to $30 a year. Additional financial responsibility is assumed by
students joining a fraternity. Students rooming in college dormi-
tories are obliged to equip their rooms with furniture. The college
assumes no responsibility in regard to the safe-keeping of student
furniture in dormitories, either during term time or vacation, ex-
cept under such special arrangement as may be made with the
treasurer. Besides the amount necessary for clothes and traveling
the economical student will probably spend between $250 and $350
a year.

Student Aid.

Self Help. — A number of students find opportunities for earn-
ing money without depending on the labor fund, and many rely
upon labor of some sort to earn their way through college. A
few men have paid all their way through college; a great many
more have paid a large part of their expenses; and many have
earned a small proportion of the cost of their course. But the
college recommends that no new student enter without having at
least $150 with which to pay his way until he can establish him-
self at work. The college does not encourage students to enter
without money in the expectation of earning their way. The or-
dinary student will find it better either to work and accumulate
money before coming to college, or to take more than four years
in college, or, instead, to borrow money with which to complete
his course. 'No student should undertake work that interferes with
his studies, and students should remember that, owing to the large
number of applications for labor-fund employment, no one man
can receive a large amount from that source.

Laboe Fund. — An annual appropriation of $7,500 for student
labor is received from the State. So far as possible needy stu-
dents will be employed in some department of the college. The
Department of Agriculture and the Department of Horticulture
usually afford the most work. Application for student labor should
be made directly to the president. Applicants must present a
certificate signed by parent or guardian and by one of the select-
men of the town in which they reside, showing that they need the

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 117

aid. Students whose deportment or class work is not satisfactory
are not likely to be continued in student labor.

Special Notice to Needy Students. — In the last year or two
the demand for paid labor on the part of new students has ex-
ceeded the amount of employment that the college can offer. The
college cannot promise work for any students, particularly fresh-
men. It accordingly urges prospective students who are dependent
upon their own efforts not to undertake the course before they have
enough money to carry them through or nearly through the first
year.

Student Accounts.

The following rules are in force concerning student accounts : —

No student will be allowed to graduate until all bills due from
him to the institution are paid.

College charges, such as room rent, laboratory fees, tuition, etc.,
must be paid strictly in advance at the beginning of each semester.
No student will be allowed to register until such payments are
made.

Every student boarding at Draper Hall shall pay at the begin-
ning of each semester at least one month's board in advance; and
no student will be allowed to continue to board at Draper Hall
if more than one week in arrears in his payments.

All money due for student labor shall be applied on account
toward any bills that the student may owe to the institution.

Military Science have shown themselves worthy of distinction.

120 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

These diplomas recommend those receiving them for commissions
in the United States army or the militia of the several States.

Equipment.

Agronomy. — The work in agronomy is carried on by means of
lectures, laboratory work and field work. The laboratories are in
the north wing of South College. The seed laboratory is equipped
with samples of the different grains and seeds of economic im-
portance in field culture, and with apparatus for the study and
testing of these seeds, including microscopes and the apparatus
necessary for viabilit}' and purity tests. The soil laboratory is
well equipped with apparatus for the study of the physical prop-
erties of soils, including an electric centrifuge ; an electric resistance
Thermometer for determining soil and other temperatures; evap-
orimeters and drying ovens; and good balances. For the work in
drainage there is available a surveyor's transit, a wye level, drain-
age levels, rods, steel tapes, surveyors' pins, and a set of drainage
tools. The college farm may also be considered a part of the
agronomy laboratory.

Animal Husbandey. — The most important part of the equip-
ment for laboratory work in animal husbandry is the new judging
pavilion, which will be completed by Jan. 1, 1911. This will give
new opportunities for practice work in management of live stock,
together with demonstrations in judging. Another very essential
pra't of the equipment for this department is the live stock of the col-
lege farm, which includes pure bred and grade Ayrshire, Guernsey,
Holstein and Jersey cattle, French coach and Percheron horses,
and Berkshire swine. A set of plaster-of-paris models of indi-
viduals of foreign and domestic breeds of horses, cattle, sheep and
swine, and a collection of the different food stuffs available for
tL 3 use of the New England farmer, are included in the equipment
lor this work.

Botany. — The department of botany occupies Clark Hall, a
b.'ick building 55 by 95 feet, two stories high, with basement and
attic. It has two lecture rooms, one seating 154 and the other
seating 72 people ; one seminar and herbarium room ; a large labora-
tory for sophomore and junior work, and one for senior work ; and
three rooms specially fitted for graduate students. The experi-
ment station laboratories devoted to botanical research are also in
this building. A small museum contains material especially use-
ful in the teaching and illustration of plant phenomena ; and on the
third floor is a collection of Massachusetts timber trees, specimens

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 121

showing peculiar formations of plant growth, and various speci-
mens illustrative of scientific methods of treating trees.

The laboratories and lecture rooms are of modern construction,
finely lighted and supplied with all necessary conveniences. The
basement contains a bacteriological laboratory, a seed and soil room ;
and a convenient workshop provided with benches for wood and
metal work, an electric motor, a power lathe, and other tools and
appliances. In the senior laboratory, is a room designed especially
for physiological work; this laboratory is well supplied also with
apparatus for the study of simple phenomena in plant physiology,
such as respiration, metabolism, transpiration, heliotropism, etc.
The herbarium contains 15,000 species of flowering plants and
ferns, 1,200 sheets of mosses, 1,200 sheets of lichens and liverworts,
and about 12,000 sheets of fungi. The laboratory is equipped with
90 modern compound microscopes and a number of dissecting
microscopes, microtomes and a large series of charts. A conserva-
tory 28 by 70 feet is connected with the laboratory. This is de-
signed for experiment Avork and for housing material often needed
in the laboratory.

Chemistry. — The department of chemistry has rooms adapted
to chemical uses, supplied with a large assortment of apparatus
and chemical materials. The lecture room on the second floor seats
70 students. Immediately adjoining it are four smaller rooms for
apparatus and the preparation of materials for the lecture table.
The laboratory for beginners is furnished with 40 working-tables.
Each table is provided with reagents and apparatus for independent
work. A well-equipped laboratory for advanced work is also pro-
vided. The weighing room has 6 balances and improved apparatus
for determining densities of solids, liquids and gases. The equip-
ment includes also a microscope, a spectroscope, a polariscope, a
photometer, a barometer, numerous models, and an extensive col-
lection of industrial charts, and there is a valuable and growing
collection of specimens and samples. The latter includes rocks,
minerals, soils, raw and manufactured fertilizers, foods, milk prod-
ucts, fibers, various other vegetable and animal products and arti-
ficial preparations of mineral and organic compounds. With this
should also be mentioned a series of preparations used for illus-
trating the various stages of different manufactures, from raw ma-
terial to finished product.

Dairying. — Two large, well-drained, cement-floored rooms in
the South College are used for dairy work. These are equipped
with a milk heater, separators, coolers and aerators, a pasteurizer.

122 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

ripening vats, churns, butter workers, a mechanical can washer,
a sterilizer, and other small apparatus necessary to a well-equipped
dairy or butter factory. A third room is equipped with hand and
power Babcock milk-testing machines and other apparatus used
for milk and butter testing. These rooms have individual lockers
for students. The new sanitary dairy and stable give an oppor-
tunity for practical laboratory work in the production and handling
of certified milk.

Dining Hall. — Draper Hall, a brick colonial building, equipped
with the modern conveniences of a dining hall, was opened in 1903.
The dining service is under the supervision of the college.

Deav^ing. — Two rooms on the second floor of Wilder Hall are
occupied by the classes in drawing. They are equipped with tables
and adjustable drawing stands. The necessary materials and im-
plements are provided. The equipment includes drawing models,
and plaster casts of leaves, flowers, fruits, human and architec-
tural details, and garden ornaments, two universal drafting ma-
chines, an eidograph, centrolineads, a set of ship splines and French
curves, complete water-color outfits, automatic crosshatchers and
protractors.

Entomology. — Entomological Laboratories. — The equipment
for work in entomology is perhaps unexcelled in this country. In
the new fireproof entomological and zoological building, first used
in the fall of 1910, are fine lecture rooms, laboratories and museums
for use in the different courses. The senior laboratory will accom-
modate'70 students at one time; a desk, equipped with compound
microscope and accessories, together with glassware, reagents, etc.,
and supplied with electric light and gas, is provided for each stu-
dent. Dissecting microscopes, microtomes and other apparatus are
available for use. The graduate laboratory is similarly equipped.
It will accommodate 20 students. The large and rapidly growing
collections of insects are in a room adjoining both laboratories. In
the library of the building is an excellent collection of the more
important books and journals treating of entomology, and many
more are accessible in the college library and in the private libra-
ries of the professors, in all making available more than 25,000
volumes, many of which cannot be found elsewhere in the United
States. A card catalogue giving references to the published articles
on different insects contains more than 60,000 cards, and is the
largest index of its kind in the United States, and probably in the
world. In the basement is a pump room where may be studied
the construction of the different types of spray pump, methods of

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 123

repairing them; hose, couplings, nozzles and the other parts of
spraying outfits are provided, not only for examination but for
use. In another room, provided with chemical desks and appa-
ratus, methods for the determination of the impurities and
adulterations of insecticides are taught. As the insectary of the
Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station is in the same
building, the facilities it offers are also available. A greenhouse,
where plants infested with injurious insects are under observation
and experimental treatment, is also open to students. Photo-
graphic rooms with cameras and other photographic apparatus are
provided, and the large greenhouses, gardens, orchards and
grounds of the college offer further opportunities for the study of
injurious insects under natural conditions.

Farm ADMiNiSTRATioisr. — The college farm of 190 acres is
under the supervision of the Department of Farm Administration,
and furnishes demonstration material. It includes improved land,
pasture land and a farm wood lot. The improved land illustrates
the value of good culture and the best known methods for the main-
tenance of fertility. The work in this department includes the
production of the common field crops, and the care and raising of
the different classes of live stock mentioneid under animal hus-
bandry. The farm is equipped with suitable buildings and good
machinery for the work carried on, of which the production of
certified milk is an important branch. Several good farms in the
vicinity, illustrating types of both special and general agriculture,
may be inspected and studied.

Floricultuee. ■ — ■ The department of floriculture aims to give
the student a thorough knowledge of all phases in greenhouse de-
sign and construction and greenhouse heating, and in the culture
of florists' crops. It is intended to train men for commercial
floriculture and for the management of conservatories on private
estates and parks and in cemeteries. The course is outlined to
combine theoretical, technical and practical work in the most com-
prehensive manner possible. Probably no agricultural college has
a department of floriculture better equipped than this. The legis-
lative appropriation of 1908 has made possible the erection of a
durable, practical, commercial range, composed of palm, fern,
orchid, violet, carnation, rose and students' houses. French Hall,
with its large laboratories, class rooms and offices, furnishes excel-
lent facilities for the purposes of instruction. Besides the new
glass houses, there are older houses suitable for growing bedding
plants and chrysanthemums, and frames for the growing of annual

124 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

and herbaceous perennial plants, violets and pansies. Many ex-
cellent specimens of trees and shrubs are growing on the college
grounds, furnishing valuable material for the study of plant mate-
rials.

FoEESTEY. — The aim of the course in forestry is to prepare
men for the advanced study in forestry schools, and at the same
time, by laying particular stress on local conditions, to enable them
to handle the farm wood lot in the same scientific manner as the
rest of the farm. The college is well situated for forestry study.
There is a good forest nursery on the college grounds; also two
typical farm wood lots. In the vicinity are considerable areas of
typical New England forest land.

Geology. — A large, well lighted laboratory for geology, 27 by
50 feet, is in the basement of the new building for entomology,
zoology and geology. This is equipped with cabinets, models,
charts and a teaching collection of rocks. It has a seating capacity
of 50 persons. Adjoining this is a smaller laboratory, 21 by 27
feet, for mineralog}^, supplied with gas and cabinets for models,
crystals and minerals. There is also a small laboratory for grinding
thin sections and a private laboratory, 6 by 19 feet, for analysis
work. The geological museum is 27 by 48 feet. It has 6 large cases
for exhibition purposes.

The equipment for geology is being enlarged. At present, in
addition to the general items mentioned above, it consists of a
petrographic microscope, an illustrative series of thin sections, a
small collection of invertebrate fossils, some casts of vertebrate
fossils, a collection of the building stones of Massachusetts and a
duplicate set of the Edward Hitchcock survey collection of the
rocks and minerals of Massachusetts.

Heating, Lighting and Powee. — The college supplies its own
light, heat and power, including electricity for the night lighting
of the campus and its approaches. The machinery of the barn, the
dairy and other buildings is operated by electricity generated at
the power-house. The college has also a machine shop.

Landscape Gaedening. — The work in landscape gardening is
developed in a strong technical f our-years course ; the first two
years are occupied with required studies, including botany, horti-
culture, surveying and mathematics, and the last two years are
devoted to more specialized studies in landscape gardening, arbori-
culture, floriculture, entomology, botany and mathematics. The
environment is unusually favorable. The strictly technical work
in landscape gardening is taught in light and comfortable drafting

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 125

rooms, fully furnislied with instruments and accessories for thorough
work. There is a well-selected library, and the equipment of
surveying and drafting instruments is unusually complete and
practical.

LiBRAKT. — The library — stack room, reading room and office —
occupies the entire lower floor of the library-chapel building. It
contains nearly 34,000 volumes and a large number of pamphlets,
hitherto inaccessible, but which are being put into good working
order as fast as possible. Works of a scientific character predomi-
nate, but economics, literature and history are well represented
and are receiving due attention. The reading room provides a
variety of periodical literature, both technical and popular, en-
cyclopedias and general reference books, and a select collection of
works for general reading.

The library is how being reclassified and recatalogued, to make
the splendid collection of material here gathered together readily
accessible and of the greatest working value. Every effort is being
made toward developing the library into a vital intellectual center
of college life, of equal value to every student, teacher and teach-
ing department. In consequence, only the most cordial relations are
cherished, and the fewest and most imperative rules concerning the
circulation of books and deportment are enforced.

Lectures are given to regular and short course students to enable
them to make the best use of the library. Emphasis is laid upon the
proper use of the card catalogue, periodical indexes, bibliographies
and guides; also, in general, assigned and class-room work, and
essay and debate work.

The library hours are from 7.45 a.m. to 9 p.m. every week day,
and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays, in term time. Shorter
hours prevail during vacations.

Market Gardening.-- — • The purpose of the courses in market
gardening is to acquaint the student with the theories and practice
of market gardening so that he will be able to carry on the business
intelligently. The equipment available for practical work consists
of 10 acres of good gardening land: a large collection of horse
and hand garden tools ; hot-beds and cold-frames ; and lettuce,
cucumber and tomato houses. The students therefore have oppor-
tunity both to study and to practice the important branches of the
business. Classes are taught in Erench Hall, a new building fitted
with class rooms and a laboratory particularly equipped for flori-
culture and market gardening. A good library of works on vege-
table gardening is available.

126 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

Mathematics^ Physics and Civil Engineering. — Survey-
ing. — The department has a considerable number of the usual
surveying instruments, with the use of which the students are re-
quired to become familiar by doing field work. Among the larger
instruments are 2 plain compasses, a railroad compass with tele-
scope, a surveyor's transit, 3 engineer's transits with vertical arc
and level, a Brandis solar transit, a solar compass, an omnimeter
with verniers reading to 10 seconds, adapted to geodetic work, a
Queen plane table, 2 wye levels, a dumpy level, a builder's level,
a sextant, a hand level, and a large assortment of leveling rods,
flag poles, chains, tapes, etc. For drafting, a vernier protractor,
a pantograph, a parallel rule, etc., are available. The department
also has a Fairbanks cement testing outfit.

Physics. — Among the apparatus in use for instruction in gen-
eral physics are a set of United States standard weights and
measures, precision balances, a spherometer, vernier calipers, a
projection lantern, etc. ; in mechanics, a seconds clock, systems of
pulleys and levers, and apparatus to illustrate the laws of falling
bodies and motion on an inclined plane, and the phenomena con-
nected with the mechanics of liquids and gases. The department
is equipped with the usual apparatus for lecture illustration in heat,
light and sound; in electricity, the equipment consists of apparatus
for both lecture illustration and laboratory work, including a full
set of "Weston ammeters and volt meters, a Carhart-Clark standard
cell, a Mascart quadrant electrometer, a Siemens electro-dynamom-
eter, and reflecting galvanometers and Wheatstone bridges for
ordinary determinations of currents and resistances.

Military Science. — This department makes use of the campus
for battalion drill, and has a special building in Avhich there is a
drill room 60 by 135 feet, an armory, an office for the commandant,
a field-gun and gallery practice room and a large bathroom. The
national government supplies Krag-Jorgensen rifles, with complete
equipments and ammunition. The State supplies instruments for
the college band. Students are held responsible for all articles
of public property in their possession. The college owns an ex-
cellent target range for rifle practice, lying a short distance out
of the village.

Physical Education. — The gymnasium and armory has a
floor space of 5,000 square feet, and is 30 feet high, well lighted and
ventilated. The room used for exercise and recreation is equipped
with modern developing apparatus and two hand-ball courts, and
is large enough for basket ball. The apparatus can quickly be

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 127

removed to clear the floor. An out-door board track enables stu-
dents to secure track practice through the winter. Steel lockers
and bathrooms have been installed in North and South colleges,
and the gymnasium has been fitted with a bathroom. The gym-
nasium is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., and exercise may be
taken at such hours as do not conflict with military drill or physical
education classes. The regulation costume for class exercise con-
sists of a white track suit and white, rubber-sole shoes.

Pomology. — The department of pomology has 10 acres of
orchard, including apple, pear, peach, plum, cherry and quince
trees. Of particular interest is the large collection of these fruits
on the various dwarf stocks, showing many types of training. The
recent revival of interest in dwarf fruits makes these dwarf or-
chards of especial value to students. There is also a commercial
vineyard and a smaller one; in these are shown the principal types
of trellis and the leading methods of training grapes. Several
acres are used in growing the various kinds of small fruits, such
as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, currants and gooseberries.
There are also extensive nurseries, where all of these various types
of fruits are grown, in which students may see them in all stages
of development.

The department has a good equipment of orchard and nursery
tools of all the principal types, the use of which enables students to
learn the value of each type. For other orchard operations, such
as spraying and pruning, the most approved makes of pumps,
nozzles, pruning saws, knives, etc., are provided. For laboratory
work in systematic pomology there is a collection of more than
100 wax models of apples and plums in natural colors, which are
particularly valuable in identifying varieties of these fruits un-
known to the student. The laboratory is also furnished with a
large number of reference books on pomology; and fruit in a fresh
condition is available in great variety, not only from the college
orchards but from other parts of Massachusetts and from many
other States. In 1909-10, for instance, apples for class use were
received from British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Connecticut, New York, Oklahoma,
Kansas, Colorado, Oregon, New Jersev and Vermont, besides col-
lections of grapes from California and citrous fruit from Florida
and Texas.

Public Speaking. — In connection with the work in public
speaking, three regular contests are held during the year. The,
Burnham contest in declamation is open to freshmen and sopho-

128 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

mores; the Flint contest in oratory and the annual debating con-
test are open (under restrictions) to all regular students. These
contests furnish a very practical and necessary experience to all
students interested in improving themselves in the art of public
speaking. Prizes are given for excellence in the contests. Inter-
college contests are arranged by the Public Speaking Council.
One credit is given, except to freshmen, for a year of work in the
college Debating Club.

Veteeijstaet SoiEisrcE AND Bacteeiologt. — The department
of veterinary science and bacteriology occupies a modern labora-
tory and hospital stable, built in accordance with the latest prin-
ciples of sanitation. Every precaution has been taken in the
arrangement of details to prevent the spread of disease, and to
provide for effective heating, lighting, ventilation and disinfection.

The main building contains a large working laboratory for stu-
dent use, and several small private laboratories for special work.
There are a lecture hall, a museum, a demonstration room, a
photographing room and a work shop. The hospital stable con-
tains a pharmacy, an operating hall, a post-mortem and dissecting
room, a poultry section, a section for cats and dogs, and 6 sections,
separated from each other, for horses, cattle, sheep and swine.
The laboratory equipment consists of a dissectible Auzoux model
of the horse and Auzoux models of the foot and the leg, showing
the anatomy and the diseases of every part. The laboratories also
have modern, high-power microscopes, microtomes, incubators and
sterilizers, for work in bacteriology and parasitology. There are
skeletons of the horse, the cow, the sheep, the dog and the pig, and
a growing collection of anatomical and pathological specimens.
The lecture room is provided with numerous maps, charts and
diagrams.

Zoology. — The college offers increased facilities for the study
of zoology. In the new building for entomology, zoology and
geology are spacious laboratories for both undergraduate and grad-
uate work. On the first floor is a large sophomore laboratory, 37
by 100 feet, with a present seating capacity of 100 persons. Ad-
joining this is a smaller room, 20 by 27 feet, for junior and senior
courses. On the second floor is a laboratory, 20 by 32 feet, for
advanced work. All laboratories are equipped with gas. The equip-
ment consists of 80 compound microscopes and accessories, 70
dissecting microscopes, microtomes and accessories, paraffine baths,
'incubator, dissecting instruments, glassware and other necessary
apparatus. Small aquaria and vivaria will be added.

1911.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 31. 129

The large amphitheater lecture hall is used jointly by the de-
partments of entomology and zoology-geology. It is equipped with
charts and models. The zoological museum is drawn upon at all
times for illustrative material. The zoological museum is 27 by
48 feet. The main room is on the first floor of the building.
Above this, on a level with the second floor, is a large gallery. On
the main floor are 8 large wall cases and 5 large floor cases for ex-
hibition purposes. The gallery has 1 large wall case and 2 floor
cases, with space for 10 additional cases. The zoological collection
consists of nearly 12,000 specimens. All the chief phyla are repre-
sented. Adjoining the museum is a preparator's room for the
curator. The museum is open to the public from 1 to 5 p.m. on
Saturdays, and on other week days from 3 to 5 p.m. The curator
is Assistant Professor Gordon.

College Activities.
Religious Services.

Chapel services are held four days a week. On Wednesday,
instead of chapel an afternoon assembly is held, for which an
attempt is made to secure speakers who will present important
current subjects. Students are required to attend chapel and
assembly.

The Young Men's Christian Association of the college holds a
short religious meeting in the chapel on Thursday evenings, and
conducts several Bible classes. For part of the year the college
and the Young Men's Christian Association unite in Sunday ves-
pers and in Sunday morning talks in the chapel. At vespers a
prominent clergyman or layman speaks.

Student Organizations.

A large number of student organizations furnish opportunity
for work and leadership to students.

The Massachusetts Agricultural College Social Union has re-
cently been established. All students become members by pa5dng
a small fee; the Union is designed to become the center of student
interests. It has equipped in North College a troph}^ room and
a large lounging room for music, reading and study. In the base-
ment of this building there is also a game room for pool and
billiards. The Union gives, in the fall and winter months, a series
of entertainments, free to the students and faculty.

130 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. [Jan.

The Young Men's Christian Association is active both socially
and religiously.

The College Senate is composed of representatives of the senior
and junior classes. It serves as a general director of under-
graduate conduct, and represents before the faculty the interests
of the student body.

The musical organizations include an orchestra, a glee club,
and a quartette. These furnish music for college meetings, and
occasionally give concerts. A military band is maintained as part
of the cadet corps.

The Athletic Association represents in the college the interests
of the football, baseball, track, hockey and tennis teams.

Among the other clubs are the Eifle Clitb, the Mettewampe Club,
organized for walking and other outdoor recreation, and a debating
club. Provision is made for credit for a specified amount of work
done under supervision in the Debating Club, and intercollege
debates are held. The Public Speaking Council was organized in
March, 1910.

The college publications are the " Signal," published weekly
by the student body, and the " Index," published annually by the
junior class.

Clubs, Conferences and Seminars.

The All M. A. C. Chemists is an organization of all persons
interested in chemistry who have been connected with the college,
in the past or are now connected with it. This club, by meetings,
lectures, excursions, etc., promotes instruction in practical agri-
cultural chemistry.

The Stockbridge Club is an organization of students specially
interested in practical agriculture, horticulture and floriculture.
Regular meetings are addressed by outside speakers, and members
present papers and engage in discussions.

The Language Conference, meeting about once a month, is
composed of the instructors in the departments of English and
Modern Languages and the students Avho are enrolled in elective
courses in these departments.

A seminar for juniors and seniors is conducted by the division
of agriculture. The division of horticulture likewise conducts
conferences or seminars.

An entomological club and a zoological club are also maintained
by those specially interested in these departments of college work.

THE AMHERST MOVEMENT "

MASSACHUSETTS
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

SUMMER SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE

AND COUNTRY LIFE

1911

GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT

AMHERST, MASS.

ANNOUNCEMENT

The Summer School of Agriculture and Country Life at Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College will open July 5th, 1911, for a term of
nearly five weeks, closing August 4th. This will be the fifth session
of this Summer School, those of the past four years having been
highly successful. The experience of these four years will aid in

making material im-
-*'v. provements for the
*; session of 1911. The
;/'' work of the Summer
School was designed
,.< originally for school
'^^4 teachers, and the at-
.' - ' tendance has been

largely of that class.
Special attention will
be given to the needs
of teachers again this
year. It has been
found, however, that
there are many per-
sons who seek a gen-
eral knowledge of
theoretical and prac-
tical agriculture and
who can come to the
college conveniently
during the summer
season. Extended
courses will be otTered for the benefit of such persons also. The
courses offered for the current 3'ear may be somewhat roughly
grouped as follows :

1. Courses in practical agriculture and horticulture.

2. Courses in elementary sciences bearing on agriculture and

horticulture.

3. Courses in agricultural education.

4. Courses in agricultural economics and rural sociology.

5. Courses in domestic economy and household science.

From these courses it will be possible to make up programs of
work suitable to the needs of almost everyone, but especially to
school teachers, principals, superintendents, school committeemen,
farm owners, householders, suburban residents, clergymen, pastors,
preachers, social workers, and those who have only a general inter-
est in agriculture. Persons who are in doubt as to what courses
will best suit their needs would better correspond with the Director
of the Summer School, v/ho will gladly advise in all such matters.

THE COURSES OF STUDY

Group A. General Agriculture, Dairying and Animal Husbandry

1. Soils and Tillage. The chemical, physical and biological
composition of the soil and the relation of each to plant growth;

^ the forma-

!»i|l^ ' tion of soils;

! vAW" ! ii^tural and

^f^ I artificial

"* sources of

fertility ; the
methods
and imple-
ments of
tillage; the
whole form-
ing an in-
troduction
t o modern
scientif i c
agriculture.
Five exer-
cises week-
ly the first
two weeks. Should be followed by Course 2. Prof. Haskell.

NEW PLANT HOUSE '

2. Field Crops. Class room, laboratory and field exercises
designed to show
modern methods of
managing the prin-
cipal field crops of
New England, such
as the grasses, the
clovers, corn, pota-
toes, etc. Five exer-
cises each week for
second two weeks.
Should be preceded
by Course 1 Prof.
Haskell. Courses 1
and 2 together meet
in excellent fashion
the needs of those who want general elementary instruction in
practical agriculture.

3. Domestic Animals. This very instructive course will deal
with the different breeds of farm animals; how to study and judge
them, modern methods of care, sanitation, breeding and feeding.
Living domestic animals supply the best of all objects for teaching
purposes in primary and intermediate schools, and this course should
prove very suggestive to capable teachers. Five hours a week, four
weeks. Professor McLean.

4. Modern Dairying. A strictly up-to-date course in the
production and handling of milk and cream, probably the most
important branch of agricultural industry in Massachusetts. The

course will
be practical
rather than
theoretical,
and will
cover brief-
ly, composi-
tion and se-
cretion of
milk ; prin-
ciples and

methods of creaming ; abnormal milk and causes ; proper handling
of milk and cream on the farm; value of milk as food; relation of
milk to the public health ; handhng and care of milk in the home ;
methods used in production of sanitary and certified milk. Five
exercises weekly for four weeks. Professor Lockwood.

5. Poultry Breeding and Management. The Summer course
in poultry will cover the following subjects: Poultry House Con-
struction; Incubation and Brooding; Care of Poultry in Summer;
Winter Egg Production : Marketing Eggs and Poultry ; and Poultry

BARN "

"JUDGING AND SCORING BIRDS"

Diseases. The laboratory work will consist of caring for incubators
and brooders and managing young chicks. The poultry plant will
be in process of construction and practical work will be given along
this line. Three lectures and two laboratory periods per week.

CONFERENCE OF RURAL SOCIAL WORKERS

AUG. 2nd, 3d, 4th INCLUSIVE

Last year the College held a four days' Conference for Rural
Social Workers, as a closing feature of the Summer School. This

was so suc-
cessful in
every way
that another,
with a much
more elabo-
rate . p r o-
gram, is be-
ing arrang-

" CONFERENCE " ed for 1911.

Conferences are to be arranged for country clergymen, rural
librarians, county Y. M. C. A. workers, grange officers, town offi-
cers, school superintendents and officers, home makers, village im-
provement societies and others interested in the development of
country life.

Each section holds an informal conference, two hours in length,
each forenoon. Each afternoon all come together for a general
session at which brief reports are heard from the morning sections.
The afternoon meetings are addressed by leaders of thought in line
with the general subject for the day.

The College engages a speaker of international reputation for
the evening meetings.

This year a camp of men studying problems of leadership in the
rural community under the auspices of the County Work depart-
ment of the Y. M. C. A. will be held from July 29th to August 5th.
Arrangements are being made to have a Rural Social service
exhibit at the College during the conference. It is hoped that the
following lines of work will be graphically shown : The county rural
work of the Y. M. C. A.; Country church work; Village improve-
ment ; Civic work in rural communities ; Rural recreation ; Grange
work ; Agricultural press ; Good roads ; High School agriculture ;
Rural sanitation; Rural social settlement work; Home economics;
Rural libraries; Rural art; The Massachusetts Board of Agricul-
ture; The Massachusetts Experiment Station; and the Extension
work of the College.

A complete program of this conference, it is hoped, will be ready
for distribution in June.

GENERAL PLAN OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL WORK

The formal instruction in the Summer School is given in thirty-one
definite courses herein described. From these each pupil may elect
courses of not less than ten nor more than fifteen exercises a week,
unless a larger or smaller amount of work be allowed by the Di-

Page Fourteen

rector. These courses include a large amount of field work, obser-
vation trips, outdoor exercises and laboratory experiments.

Round table and special discussions will be arranged by various
instructors as their courses require. A conference of rural social
workers and educators of New England will be held August 2nd,
3rd and 4th. An outline of the conference will be found in another
part of this bulletin.

A course of evening lectures on popular topics relating to the
work of the school will be a feature of the general program. Sev-
eral able lecturers have already been engaged for this course. Like
everything else connected with the Summer School, this lecture
course is entirely free to all students.

ELECTION OF COURSES

Election of courses should be made at the time of registration.
Every election is subject to the approval of the Director and of the
instructor whose course is elected. As it will be necessary to sched-
ule several courses at the same time, certain combinations of courses
will be made unavailable. It should be specially noticed that certain
courses are offered to a limited number of pupils only, and as a rule
pupils will be accepted in these courses in the order of application.
Each pupil should choose such combinations of courses as will keep
two or three subjects in hand at the same time. This will meet the
requirement that each one must take at least ten and not more than
fifteen exercises a week, tuiless permitted to take more or less by
special order of the Director.

REGISTRATION, ATTENDANCE, ETC.

Those who expect to attend should register as early as possible.
Registration fee for the Summer School is $5, payable at the time
application is made. Registration fee for the clergymen attending
the courses and conferences given especially for them is $1. No
other tuition is charged. These fees should accompany application
blanks and should be made payable to the Director of the Summer
School, or the College Treasurer. A schedule and registration
blank are to be found in the back part of this bulletin. Registration
fees will be refunded to those who find it impossible to attend the
school.

Attendance will be required in the courses elected. Some sort of
examination, test or permanent note book will be required in each

Page Fifteen

course. Those who complete courses in a satisfactory manner, in-
cluding practically perfect attendance, will be given certificates at
the close of the term showing what work has thus been completed.

There are no rules or regulations whatever. Persons are not ad-
mitted to the Summer School who are not old enough to know how
to behave, and everyone is expected to know and conform to the
usages of good society. This absence of rules has worked admirably
in the past, and it gives everyone a sense of freedom based on per-
sonal responsibility, the basis of all proper government, whether in
school, college or the community.

Tuition is absolutely free^ and there are no incidental charges.
The College is supported by the State and the Federal governments,
and receives no payments whatever from Summer School pupils
except for room, board, and the registration fee, as mentioned above.

ROOMS AND BOARD

Rooms will be provided in the College dormitories and in private
houses adjoining the College grounds. In general, the dormitory
rooms are in suites of two bedrooms, opening into one study room,
the bedrooms furnished with single beds. These rooms are nearly
all located in two dormitories known as North College and South

College. The toilet
and bathrooms are in
the basements and
water is not pro-
vided in the rooms.
While the appoint-
ments in general
are not those of a
high-priced summer
hotel, they are sani-
tary and comfort-
able, and have been
found pleasant by
men students for
many years and by
the women students of the Summer School during two summers. A
uniform rate of $1 a week for each person will be charged for these
rooms, and each pupil will be expected to supply her own blankets,
sheets, pillow cases, towels and napkins. Convenient arrangements
for laundry work may be made in Amherst.

The dormitories are reserved for women students exclusively.
All requests for dormitory rooms must be made to^ and rooms

WILL BE assigned BY THE COLLEGE TREASURER. A DEPOSIT OF $2.00

is required in order to have a room in a dormitory reserved.
This deposit is not refunded to those who find it impossible
to attend.

The College will also supply a small number of first-class United
States army wall tents for those who wish them. Each tent will

Page Sixteen

SOUTH DORMITORY

accommodate two persons. The tents will be placed in a pleasant
and convenient location on the College campus, and every reason-
able provision will be made for the comfort of the occupants. This
form of domicile has been found very acceptable in other summer
schools, chautauquas and camps. Those who care for real outdoor
life at its best will find these arrangements genuinely enjoyable.
The charge for these tents will be $1 a week for each person.

Rooms outside the College vary considerably in their accommo-
dations and somewhat in price, the charge ranging from $1 to $2
a week for each person. A few days prior to the opening of the
Summer School the College will make a canvass of the vil-
lage IN order to obtain a list of available rooms. This will

BE FURNISHED SuMMER SCHOOL STUDENTS AT THE TIME OF REGIS-
TRATION. Every effort will be made by those in charge to see

THAT everyone HAS COMFORTABLE ACCOMMODATIONS.

As far as possible, everyone who registers for the Summer School
will be allowed to select his or her own room, either in the College
dormitories or outside, and such selections will be offered strictly
in the order of registration. The Summer School management,
however, reserves the right to make such shifts and readjustments
as may be necessary for the greater convenience and comfort of all.

Excellent meals are served in Draper Hall on the College
grounds. The price to Summer School students for the summer of
1911 will be $4 a week, payable in advance to the College Treasurer.
Good boarding places can be secured outside the College if desired.
No rebates are allowed on board and room where these are had for
a fraction of a week.

LOCATION AND SURROUNDINGS

Amherst is one of the most delightful towns in New England,
especially in summer. It is situated in the Connecticut valley,
amidst fertile farms, and surrounded by wooded hills. It is reached
by the Boston and Maine railroad, Southern division (97 miles west
of Boston), or by the Central Vermont railroad. It may be reached
also by trolley from Springfield, Holyoke, Northampton or Greenfield.

The surroundings of this Summer School, its organization and
methods of work, are such as to make a stay of two to four weeks
enjoyable in every way. It furnishes the pleasantest sort of out-
door life, with just enough of work and recreation, under the sim-
plest possible organization. From the first, special attention has
been given to the outdoor exercises and recreation features of the
program, and these will be still further emphasized in 1911. The
whole atmosphere of the place is such that a vacation spent at the
Summer School, with moderate work, is more interesting and re-
freshing than the same time spent at a seaside or mountain resort.

Page Seventeen

ATHLETICS AND RECREATION

Athletics and sports of various kinds occupy a prominent place
in the Summer School. Tennis tournaments for both men and
women and baseball teams are organized. Walking and mountain
climbing are also freely indulged in by Summer School students.
Athletic contests with teams from surrounding towns are arranged,
subject to the approval of the proper committee.

COLLEGE EQUIPMENT

The Massachusetts Agricultural College is endowed by the Fed-
eral government and by the State of Massachusetts for teaching
and investigation in agriculture in the broadest sense. The College
has a farm of over 400 acres in a high state of cultivation, and illus-
trates all the leading agricultural industries of Massachusetts and
some of the best agricultural specialties. There is a large new
range of greenhouses of the most modern and approved types just
completed within the past year ; there is a modern dairy barn with
dairy cattle ; there are good horses, pure bred swine, sheep and
poultry ; there are fields of corn, potatoes, clover and grass in sea-
son ; orchards of apple, peach, plum and pear trees ; tracts of good
forest land, nurseries, market gardens, greenhouses, etc. A good
school garden, maintained by cooperation between the College and
the Amherst schools, will be in operation. There are also con-
siderable tracts devoted to experiments, many of which are of
unusual interest. Then there are well-equipped departments of
botany, entomology and chemistry, dealing in the most thorough
manner with these special sciences. All of this equipment (much
more than can be described or even named) will be placed at the
service of the Summer School.

CHAPEL AND VESPERS

Chapel exercises, fifteen minutes in length, are held each morning
in the College chapel. At this time announcements for the day are
given.

Vespers are held each Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, usually out
of doors. Well-known preachers and other religious workers are
engaged for these services, and special music is provided.

EVENING LECTURES AND SOCIAL LIFE

The management of the Summer School provides at least one
evening lecture each week. These lectures are usually given by
men of international reputation, and deal with practical, social and
economic subjects related to rural life.

One or two social evenings are arranged for each week. This,

Announcement

This bulletin is a svipplement to the complete bulletin describing
the work given in the Summer School of Agriculture and Country
Life at the Massachusetts Agricultural College. The courses de-
scribed herein are arranged especially to meet the desire of country
clergymen to make themselves more familiar with the practical,
social, and economic phases of the new "country life movement."

During the Summer Schools of the past four years, many clergy-
men have found that besides getting much help and new inspiration,
two or three weeks spent in Amherst associating with their fellows
was exceedingly pleasant and profitable.

Attention is called to the other courses of the Summer School,
which may also be taken by clergymen, the Conference of Rural
Social Workers, and the information concerning rooms, board, etc.,
given elsewhere in this bulletin.

The Summer School proper opens July 5. A complete bulletin
describing the courses can be secured by writing the Director.

During the time the clergymen are at the College, the following
courses are also in progress and may be taken by clergymen and
their wives :

General Plan of the Summer School Work

The formal instruction in the Summer School is given in thirty-
one definite courses. From these each pupil may elect courses of
not less than ten nor more than fifteen exercises a week, tmless
a larger or smaller amount of work be allowed by the Director.
These courses include a large amount of field work, observation
trips, outdoor exercises and laboratory experiments.

During the Summer School for clergymen, the Federation of
Churches arranges for an extensive program of afternoon confer-
ences and evening lectures. These are devoted to discussions of
the spiritual, social, and administrative problems with which the
clergyman must deal. The discussions are led and the lectures are
given by some of the most prominent men in the seminaries, and
in the social and educational work of this country.

Expenses, Living Accommodations, Etc.

The registration fee for clergymen is $1.00. There is no tuition.
Board is furnished at Draper Hall at $4.00 a week. Rooms are
available in the village at prices ranging from $1.50 to $3.00 per
week.

In past years it has been possible to secure fraternity houses, or
other large houses in the village so that a number of clergymen
could live at one place, thus giving those who attend, a chance for
close association. An efifort will be made to make such arrange-
ments again this year.

A limited number of furnished houses can be obtained for those
who wish to bring their families, and will lease the hovtses for a
month or more.

Those attending the course should provide their own bedding.

It will be seen that the necessary local expenses of attending
the course need not be more than $12.00.

All who expect to come are earnestly requested to make arrange-

Conference of Rural Social Workers
Aug. 2nd, 3rd, 4th Inclusive

Last year the College held a four days' Conference for Rural
Social Workers, as a closing feature of the Summer School. This
was so successful in every way that another, with a much more
elaborate program, is being arranged for 1911.

The College engages a speaker of international reputation for
the evening meetings.

This year a camp of men studying problems of leadership in the
rural community under the auspices of the County Work depart-
ment of the Y. M. C. A. will be held from July 29th to August 5th.

Arrangements are being made to have a Rural Social service
exhibit at the College during the conference. It is hoped that the
following lines of work will be graphically shown : The county rural
work of the Y. M. C. A. ; Country church work ; Village improve-
ment; Civic work in rural communities; Rural recreation; Grange
work; Agricultural press; Good roads; High School agriculture;
Rural sanitation; Rural social settlement work; Home economics;
Rural libraries; Rural art; The Massachusetts Board of Agricul-
fure; The Massachusetts Experiment Station; and the Extension
work of the College.

A complete program of this conference, it is hoped, will be ready
for distribution in June.

College Equipment

The Massachusetts Agricultural College is endowed by the Fed-
eral government and by the State of Massachusetts for teaching
and investigation in agriculture in the broadest sense. The College
has a farm of over 400 acres in a high state of cultivation, and illus-
trates all the leading agricultural industries of Massachusetts and
some of the best agricultural specialties. There is a large new
range of greenhouses of the most modern and approved types just
completed within the past year; there is a modern -dairy barn with
dairy cattle; there are good horses, pure bred swine, sheep and
poultry; there are fields of corn, potatoes, clover and grass in sea-
son ; orchards of apple, peach, plum and pear trees ; tracts of good
forest land, nurseries, market gardens, greenhouses, etc. A good
school garden, maintained by cooperation between the College and
the Amherst schools, will be in operation. There are also con-
siderable tracts devoted to experiments, many of which are of
unusual interest. Then there are well-equipped departments of
botany, entomology and chemistry, dealing in the most thorough
manner with these special sciences. All of this equipment (much
more than can be described or even named) will be placed at the
service of the Summer School.

Location and Surroundings
