/wlj ND now '8i, always the subject of praise or censure,
■^"^ steps to the front and once more exposes herself to the
withering remarks of self-appointed critics. But let those,
who thus delight to appear superior, remember that we do
not claim to have reached perfection, but like themselves, we
are learning the lesson which experience alone can teach.
In presenting the eleventh volume of the Index to the
public, we have kept up the established custom, and have pro-
duced, we trust, a literary gem, which will shine by its own
unaided light among all its compeers.
In its compilation, we have preferred to follow the arrange-
ment of former Indices, rather than ape the Olio, as did our
illustrious predecessors.
We are happy to inform the friends, yes, and the enemies
too, of the College, that now it is practically on a self-sup-
porting basis, and although for a time its efficiency may be
crippled somewhat by the severe measures of economy which
it is necessary to practice, yet in the near future we hope to
see it rise, stronger, from obstacles overcome, and better, for
victories won.
THE I NDEX.
During the past season the state, somewhat as a man puts
money into a contribution box, paid off the college debt, and
now commands the institution henceforth to shift for itself.
In obedience to these instructions, an entire revolution has
taken place.
President Clark, who for twelve years has planned and
guided its affairs, resigned on the first of May, and the Trus-
tees elected Hon. Charles L. Flint to fill his place, as nominal
president, without salary.
The next "cut down," and one quite severely felt, was that
of H. W. Parker's professorship, mental and moral science,
and although this is in part made up by hired instructors?
still it cannot be made good.
The disappearance of veterinary science from the curricu-
lum is greatly to be regretted, and it is earnestly hoped that
in some way lectures may be given by a competent, practical
veterinary surgeon. A subject which is of such vital impor-
tance ought to be thoroughly understood by every one who
has the care of animals.
Class work, always irksome, is now made doubly so by the
lack of any compensation. Now each student is compelled
to work six hours a week, for nothing per hour, and pay his
own board. Truly the times are returning when love shall
again be the reward of labor.
The new custom of leasing the rooms to the students, which
grew out of the revised order of things, promises to be its
best feature. Certain it is that far less destruction is done to
public property than formerly, and the students take more
pride in the appearance of things for which their own pockets
are responsible.
TH E I N DEX.
We are glad to see that the matter of discipline is at last
receiving some attention, so that, hereafter, they who steal
government property and they why steal private watermelons
will be alike severely punished.
Military still holds its prominent place in our course, and
under our able Lieutenant we are fast gaining that knowledge
of its various departments which makes the farmer the defend-
er, as well as the supporter, of the nation. To taste a little
of the real soldier's life, we did hope to enjoy a few days of
camping out, but the Faculty, after mature deliberation, de-
cided that it weie better for us to forego this pleasure.
We were disappointed, on our return in September, to
find so small an entering class, but feeling that this is due to
a lack of information in regard to the College, we earnestly
hope that the President will take means of keeping the insti-
tution before the public, so that young men may know where
to get a liberal, scientific education, and so that any of our
friends who are about to die, may be reminded to leave us a
modest bequest.
We would like also to encourage the students in all matters
of public improvement. Keep up the planting of trees until
all the walks and drives become the foundations of shady
paths and avenues of later years. And then, when, as an
Alumnus of M. A, C, you once more visit dear old Alma
Mater, you will linger long beneath the shade which you and
merry classmates helped to make.
Although we were assured by the disappointed printer, who
didn't get the job of printing our Index, that we couldn't
THE I NDEX,
afford to publish such a work where there were so few to pat-
ronize it, still we have come out more than square, and thank
the aforesaid printer for his advice, and also the fellows for
their liberal patronage.
With these preparatory remarks, we present to you the
Index, hoping that you will find as much pleasure in its peru-
sal as we have had in its editing, and then we shall feel repaid
for our labor.

y/rNHE time has come when we must offer ovir fourth and
v^ last contribution to the Index. We have often had to
note changes in our number, so that the valedictory will be
written in behalf of but a remnant of the entering class.
With no less sorrow do we perform these last duties of stu-
dent life.
In looking over the three years past, many unexpected
events have occurred, many false impressions been removed,
and much that is useful and enduring has been added to the
character of the actors. We have begun to appreciate our
own ignorance.
Unsenior-like as this may seem, it is a primal and neces-
sary step in the pursuit of knowledge. Tedious and slow
though the taking account of stock is, still the merchant
deems it one of the first necessities of his business. Equally
important is it for the student to know his capacity and his
attainments. Yet the lesson is never learned by the majority
of college students. Seniors have gone forth with the pre-
sumption and self-assertion worthy of Sophomores. In
proof, note the tone and style of graduation essays. Subjects
are there treated and disposed of, which doctors and philoso-
phers would hardly dare to pass judgment upon. Then we
would still wish to be considered Freshme7i. so far as that in-
dicates m.odest demeanor and a due regard for the rights of
others. We have been sorry to note a gradual decline in col-
lege administration. This is manifested not only by the pub-
lic voice throughout the state, but also in the curriculum and
faculty. There has been a curtailing- of facilities for study
and a doubling up of professorships, and finally, the trustees
have concluded, in view of our straightened circumstances,
that we can dispense with a Head.
12
THE INDEX.
It would not be well to close this communication without
leaving an earnest injunction to under classmen to keep up
the college spirit; strive to render the Index broader and
more representative in character; encourage and support all
means of literary improvement; cherish and preserve all the
incidents and reminiscences of college life and they will be
sources of pleasure and profit to you in after years; strive to
develop manliness of character, independence of spirit and
obedience to law and God. s.

Mil*
to gradually do the seasons change that we scarcely real-
ize the passing away of summer until it is gone and we
are startled by the first chill breeze of autumn.
While engaged in the performance of our Sophomore
duties, we dreamt not of the progress we were making ; but
now, as we awake to the stern realities — and sterner ab-
stractions— of Physics and Dutch, we know that we have
changed. We have arrived at the golden season of our col-
lege course, when the fruits of our endeavors will begin to
assume the forms in which they are to appear before the
world. And we hope that, at the final dissipation of the
storm raised by the too serious consideration of a harmless,
practical joke, a prosperous sun may continue to shine upon
our class, ripening its members into worthy representatives
of the dear old Aggie Farm.
The past year has been an eventful one for the college, and
many are the changes that have taken place.
While we rejoice to learn that the condition and prospects
of the institution were never better than at present, we can-
not but mourn the loss it has sustained by the resignation of
a President, who, working always for the good of the college,
commanded the respect and won the heart of every student
who knew him.
One of our professors also, has left us, to enter upon a
new and broader field of labor. Our best wishes for them
both are that they may be as highly appreciated in the future
as they have been in the past by the class of '8i.
Although, as yet, we hardly know our new President, we
welcome him, trusting that he may succeed not only to the
office of the old, but also to his high place in our regard.
14
THE INDEX,
As Juniors, we naturally feel an interest in the welfare of
'83, and are sorry to see so small a class. Surely, there must
be many young men who need and desire just what our course
will furnish. It is to be hoped that means will be found to
bring the college to the notice of all such, so that our next
Freshman class may be more numerous.
We miss from our own ranks many of those who have ac-
companied us over the first half of our way. With feelings
ot regret at their absence, we wish them all possible success
in their various pursuits. But our numbers, notwithstanding
this dropping out, are increasing, and we welcome those
coming from another class to adopt our standard and to sup-
port our cause. In the future, as we have ever in the past,
let us stand firmly united for the honor and glory of '81.
R.
RESHMAN year has passed, and with it many happy
^
^^ scenes have vanished.
The mantle, which we as Freshmen wore, is an honor to
Aggie and a glory to '82, but we have laid it aside, and may
it be looked upon by those who follow us as an emblem of
success.
Our first year at college was by no means one of ease ; our
pathway was not wholly strown with roses, for, now and then,
our tender feet discovered a thistle or thorn in the way,
dropped unintentionally, perhaps, by some careless hand.
But now our wounds are healed, and the dark clouds of dis-
appointment, which obscured for a season the youthful hopes
of some, fled away when the Faculty exclaimed : " Members
of '82, come up a little higher, that you may view from your
yet humble sphere the glorious realities of our intellectual
superiority."
The Freshman class is smaller than was expected, and one
would think that they came from a " land flowing with milk
and honey," judging from the appetite which they have for
the former. They generally indulge in a cup of their favor-
ite beverage just before retiring. It is also evident that tliey
must have been acquainted with the fact that " body and
mind need rest," for at the first they endeavored to habituate
themselves to early retiring.
It is hardly worth while to speak of the " rush," for it
would only bring to mind the unhappy feelings experienced
by poor " Freshie " on that fatal night,
"When trembling with fright
From the campus he came,
To seek for seclusion and rest."
16
THE INDEX
Our numbers have somewhat diminished, some having en-
tered higher classes, while others have left their college home
to cope with the sterner realities of life. We wish them suc-
cess, and only hope that as they mingle amid the busy scenes
of the world, and are loaded down with its responsibilities,
they will occasionally find time to cast a simple thought for
'82 and their Alma Mater.
The work of the year has commenced in good earnest, and
our success depends, as heretofore, upon hard work and close
application. Classmates, let us not tarnish our hard-earned
fame by unfaithfulness to duty, but rather strive more dili-
gently to reach a higher degree of perfection. w.
(O^*"^
J'ItqHIS is our first contribution to the Index, and we hope
0)^ that it may compare favorably with those of our prede-
cessors.
We have not been here long enough, as yet, to get into the
ways of the college, although we have got into the way of
those charitable (?) fellows, the Sophomores, who's barber-ous
manners show that in one short year they have been enabled
fully to understand and appreciate the meaning of the word
" Hero."
It is also exceedingly hard for us to understand how that
out of a class of three-score and ten Sophomores, enough
could be found to rush a dozen Freshmen. It was certainly
nothing short of a miracle. But enough ; we were fairly
beaten and as fairly own it.
Our thanks are due to our friends, the Juniors, for our
" settings up " exercises, and also to the Sophomores for their
motherly care of us, hoping that at a time not far distant we
may have the honor (?) to be ranked as Sophomores our-
selves, and then we will see that the class of '84 has its rights
respected. Their slumbers shall be like unto those of a log,
neither shall their rest be broken by those enchanting solos,
which are produced by the reed instrument commonly known
as the fish-horn, on which some of our students are exceed-
ingly proficient.
Classmates, we have now fairly entered into our college
life with all its pleasures and sorrows, the work and recrea-
tions, with all the modern facilities for helping us, and the
THE IN DEX,
best of helpers. Let us do our part, each one to the best of
his ability, remembering that what we learn here is all for
our future prosperity and happiness, and that the more thor-
ough we are while here, the more successful will be our pur-
suits in after life. h.
" Never mind, it ivlll be a little
liarger after the Netv England Fair."

Since the last issue of the Index, many changes have taken
place in the management of the college, in which every
alumnus feels a deep interest.
The first and most important change was in the resignation
of President William S. Clark. All must admit that this
was a serious loss to the college, and that it will be hard to
find a man capable of filling his place as a teacher, for very
few have the faculty of making a recitation as interesting as
he. For nearly twelve years he stood at the head of the col-
lege, and carried it, as it were, single handed through many a
critical period, and kept it from becoming — like many of the
agricultural colleges in the United States — an institution with-
out students, and consequently of little practical value ; for an
institution like ours is founded to educate young men, and if
it cannot offer inducements to draw students in sufficient
numbers, it falls short of accomplishing the greatest good to
the state that founded it.
I think I speak the sentiments of every member of the
Alumni, when I thank the state for paying off the debt under
which the college has been struggling for so many years, but
regret that it did not go a step further and make the tuition
free to every young man in the state fitted to enter its doors,
as the past year proves conclusively that there are plenty of
young men in the state who would gladly enter our college,
if they could have free tuition. The trustees have done all
that lies in their power to lessen the expenses of the students,
by reducing the tuition from seventy-five to thirty-six dol-
lars per year, but even this sum prevents many a young man
from entering, as one hundred and forty-four dollars looks
like a large amount to one who is obliged to work his way
through college, and we sincerely hope that the legislature,
the coming winter, will give the college money enough to
make tuition free in the future.
The appointment of Charles L. Flint, Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, as acting president, until it was
deemed advisable to elect a regular president, was perhaps
the best thing that could have been done under the circum-
stances, but we regret that, while the college is located in
Amherst, the president resides in Boston, and is, therefore.
68 THE INDEX.
unable to get at the true "inwardness" of student^life that he
could, from daily contact with them.
As we look back upon our college days, many pleasant rec-
ollections present themselves. There were days of work and
days of pleasure. Ir was our hands which dug up hedge
rows, removed fences and cut down several old apple orch-
ards scattered about the college farm, that for a time supplied
the students with fruit. We " killed the goose which laid the
golden egg,'' but taking everything into consideration, it was
probably best to have them out of the way, for the faculty
wanted more than their share of the fruit. This of course
caused much inconvenience to all parties concerned. To se-
cure our share, we were obliged to take up carpets, remove
boards from the floors and deposit our fruit beneath them.
Sometimes the faculty would barely give us time to put our
rooms in order for inspection, before making us a call and
asking if we had any apples in our rooms. We never had
any (and they never found any).
I hope the farmers who live in the vicinity of the college
have learned to value educated labor more than in the earlier
days of the institution, and are now willing to pay something
for it. lean remember when one would not even give a few
walnuts to two students, who, at the peril of their lives,
mounted the trees, (which he did not dare to do) shook off the
walnuts, and gathered them up, only asking for one half to
pay them for their time and expense of coming to college to
show farmers the value of educated labor. But then "a wise
man is said to be a fool in the company of a fool," so we will
let it pass, simply exclaiming : When will farmers learn to
appreciate the value of an education.'
It would take volumes to enumerate all that took place
during our college days to make time pass pleasantly; it
would bring together a strange mixture of things and cir-
cumstances, for mock trials and rushes, sheep, donkies,
chickens and buggies all helped to lighten our labor.
If these few pleasant reminiscences shall help bring to
mind others that happened in those good old college days,
and cause a smile to lighten up the perhaps now wrinkled
brow of some fellow student, as he struggles to provide for
the " inner man," your humble servant shall think he has not
labored in vain. Alumnus.

The following extracts will be read with great interest by the class
of '82, as they are not recorded elsewhere, and were obtained
at great expense by our " special reporter.^''
CLASS MEETING, HELD JUNE 16, 1879.
Pres. W-ld-r : — Fellows, we meet to see what we shall
do "Freshman night." The faculty have agreed to give us
ammunition and the use of the cannon, if we will not make
any noise after midnight with college property. Shall we
accept their terms ?
After considerable discussion it was decided that it would
be more economical to do so.
Mr. Kn-wl-s : — Before adjourning, I would like to cau-
tion the fellows against saying anything outside for the Soph-
omores to get hold of. We don't know their business, and
we don't want them to knoio ours.
CLASS MEETING, HELD JUNE 23, 1879.
After the disappearance of the cannon. — Faces "the reflection of heaven's
own blue."
Pres. W-ld-r : — Fellows, you all know what the meeting
is called for. We are not smart enough to cope with the
Sophomores, so the class captain and I went to Lieut. Morris
to ask his help. Of course we didn't put it in those words,
but we asked him if the faculty were going to keep their
agreement. He said they would try to, but if they can't,
what shall we do .?
Mr. C-CHR-n : — " Of course we are all sorry that this thing has
happened, but we don't want to admit that it is a roast on us,
for it isn't. It's a roast on the faculty. And Lieut, suggest-
ed this plan : To ask the senior and junior classes to call
class-meecings and decide whether we are roasted or not.
Then we will have three classes against one, and they will
have to give in."
76 THE INDEX.
(By the way, we will add here, that without any solicitation
on our part, both Seniors and Juniors, without exception, de-
clared we had badly roasted the Freshmen. — Eds.)
Mr. Ab-rcr-mb- : — "Mr. Jackson, I believe, has a plan
to present to the class."
Mr. J-cks-n : — "On talking the matter over, some of -us
decided that it would be a good plan for us to hire the cannon
from Northamp. and bring it over here to fire." (Poor fools,
couldn't see that this was but acknowledging the roast on
themselves. — Eds.)
Voted to wait to see what the faculty would do.
CLASS MEETING, HELD SEPT. 29, 1879.
Pres. W-ld-r : — " Fellows, this meeting is called to make
some demonstration in regard to the action of the faculty in
suspending Kinney, Johnson and Myrick. I would like to
hear what you think we had best do."
Mr. W-rn-r : — "Mr. President, I think that no member
of the class of '82 doubts but that the faculty have shown
partiality in their recent decision. Look at all '81 has done
since they have been in college! And what have the faculty
done! they suspended them during vacation, and then allow-
ed them all to come back, but now for what little our fellows
have, see them indefinitely suspended ! "
Mr. C-chr-n ; — "Mr. President, I think we want to stick
by the fellows who have been suspended. They are promi-
nent men in our class. See what the one of them, who is
our class captain, did for us on Freshman night!!! The
other two, also, have stuck by us, and we ought to stick by
them. I, therefore, move that we all agree to abstain from
all college exercises till the faculty let these men back. They
can't more than suspend us, and if they do, they will have to
let us back. They can't run the college without our class (?) "
Mr. W-rn-r : — " I do not agree exactly with Mr. C-chr-n.
There arc two ways to drive a mule, and it is best to use per-
suasion before you begin to beat."
It was finally decided, in accordance with Mr. W-rn-r's
idea, to persuade the faculty " mule " before they beat him."

To the Trustees of the M. A. C.
Gentlemen :
In making out this, my first annual report, I have been
surprised at the amount of sickness prevalent among both
Faculty and students. In most cases the causes have been
very evident and, in the future, should be guarded against.
Several cases of cholera infantum have occurred under my
supervision, and in all of these, the indisputable cause has
been, the eating of too unripe fruit from the "Tree of Knowl-
edge."
Irregularity of attendance upon recitations has so effected
the ra ki g pulse in some instances, that it rarely beat over
fifty per hour, and the patient's life has been saved only by
applying rubber cloths to the conscience or by bolstering up
the back with condition pillows.
A skin disease, greatly marring the appearance, has broken
out quite extensively in the form of an abnormal growth of
hair on the upper lip. The most efficient remedy for this, I
find'to be simple nursing, which will almost invariably cause
it to die out in time.
The summer complaint for cattle shows had its victims, but
no fatal nor very severe cases.
I have been called upon to treat one case of temporary
insanity, in which one of your worthy professors showed the
unbalanced tendency of his mind by cutting up curious antics
on a chapel settee. Quite a large portion of his hair had to
be removed in the operation of trepanning, and it has since
shown no disposition to grow again.
I am aware of the very injurious effects of tobacco upon
the students, but what can I say or do, when one, who is so
K

old that his memory fails him on so common a thing as the
Lord's Prayer, when such a patriarch sanctions its use by
chewing that abominable fine cut?
Softening of the brain has its stronghold on one victim.
The sufferer imagines himself to be First Lieutenant ot the
U. S. Army, and his faithful watching of government property
would be truly absurd, were it not for its honest simplicity.
There has been one case each of the following : — Paralysis
of the tongue, perverse deafness, and wind colic.
But that which has threatened the most terrible havoc in
thinning out the members of the college has been the " larce-
nical mania," so called. No less than a $15,000 stroke fell
upon six members of Eighty-One, who, although their lives
have been spared, are still in a critical condition, and it may
require several months of Deer Island or Sing Sing climate
to restore them to "full and regular" health. I must urge
upon you the necessity of preventing the spread of this dis--
ease; if nipped in the bud, it will do very little damage.
If proper care is taken to prevent the Faculty from giving
out too long lessons, and if that body be instructed to let off
a man whenever he asks so to be, I think I can safely predict
continued healthfulness for years to come.
Respectfully submitted.

As there has been considerable discussion concerning the
action of the class of '8i in the late cannon affair, we take this
opportunity to present the facts of the case to the public, in
order that a clear idea can be obtained and an impartial judg-
ment formed.
It has been the custom in our college for several years past,
for the Freshmen to have a celebration on the last night of the
college year. Firing of cannon, bonfires, fireworks and other
minor details, go to make "Freshman night" one of little
rest in college. It has also been the custom of the Sopho-
mores to frustrate, as much as possible, the plans of the
Freshmen.
In accordance with these customs the Sophomores carried
out the following :
On Friday evening, June 20th, the Sophomore class met
and by a unanimous vote agreed to carry out that which after-
wards transpired. It was arranged that seven of the class
should, on the following night, dismount the three cannons,
remove the powder from the magazine and conceal both in
places which were to be decided on the next day.
The seven met at eight p. m., and made plans to meet again
at one. A Sophomore went out to reconnoitre at nine o'clock,
and discovered that the Freshmen had a guard posted between
the magazine and the cannon; immediately returning, he
reported what he had seen. The Sophomores, supposing that
a guard would be maintained all night, gave up their plans
and all but two retired for the night. These two sat in a
room without any light, for fully two hours, and, everything
appearing quiet outside, they determined once more to inspect
the situation. They went first to the cannon, then to the
magazine, finding everything quiet and not a guard to be
seen. One immediately set out down town on the run, to
order the teams, which had previously been engaged, ready
at a minute's notice; the other returned to college and, in
stocking feet, proceeded to wake up the other five. On dress-
ing, the six assembled and crept througli the corn field, west
of the campus, to the rear of the magazine; here separating,

they moved carefully to the front side, and thence to the
cannon. Finding everything to be all right, they returned
and burst open the magazine, which, by the way, was no easy
matter, for the staple which held the door was firmly clinched
on the inside. The powder was then removed and conveyed
to the group of small pines to the north of the farm house.
Then three of the seven went down town and brought up the
teams. The powder was loaded first, and then came the tug
of war — the loading of the cannon upon the wagons. Had
they known how to dismount cannon, they would have saved
themselves many hard lifts, but, as it was, the cap squares
were removed, and then five of the seven lifted the pieces by
main force and placed them upon the wagons.
The cannon only weigh 1250 pounds apiece, but the awk-
ward position in which the five were placed, required the
exertion of their utmost strength. One of the number had
an arm caught under one of the trunions, and was severely
wrenched.
Having loaded the cannon, five started off with them, while
the other two took the powder and concealed it in an old
house about a mile from college. Just beyond the bridge, one
of the horses on the cannon " balked up," causing some delay.
However, they soon arrived at their destination, unloaded
the cannon and started back to college, arriving about
4.30 A. M.
After dinner the next day, the Sophomores wrote to the
Faculty, stating what they had done and promising to return
everything to its place in perfect condition, in ample time for
commencement exercises.
The Freshmen recognizing the fact that they had been out-
witted, asked the Faculty to aid them in recovering the can-
non, claiming that they expected that that body would deliver
everything they were to use into their hands on "Freshman
night." If they in reality expected this, why did they have
the guard posted over the cannon on the previous evening ?
Why did they have a guard to watch the chapel bell for three
consecutive nights.''
These are the true facts concerning the " cannon affair,"
the final exploit of '8i's sophomore days, and her most stu-
pendous roast on '82.

As hand to hand we onward move,
'Mid scenes of sadness and of mirth,
Let it ever be our aim to prove
Our deeds are emblems of our worth.
How soon may we our task complete.
Which was beg^un two years ago ;
We each succeeding moment meet
An obstacle to overthrow.
So let us strive with all our might,
To conquer each opposing wrong,
Inclining always toward the right.
And in this keeping firm and strong.
Fond memories of our Freshman year,
Of happy hours spent together,
Crovvd thick and fast about us here,
Forming ties which naught can sever.
Our numbers one by one grow less
As some loved member goes, until,
We feel, while wishing them success,
They leave a void which none can fill.
We to our symbol point with pride.
Let us keep forever pure our name.
May Eighty-one ne'er have to hide,
For deeds of ours, her head in shame.
Why any other motto seek
To help us in our college course?
We work for that, and when we're weak
We hold in that a last resource.
And when are gone these short four years.
And into a new life we pass.
Though travelling through a vale of tears.
Let our one thouarht be of our class.

RAMBAUD'S POPULAR HISTORY OF RUSSIA.—
From the earliest times to 1880. This work is offered to the public as an appropriate
companion to Guizot's Popular History of Prance. The immense popularity of
Guizot's France is a proof of the fact that the best class of historical works, pro-
duced in the highest style of art, are fully appreciated by American book-buyers,
and encourages the publishers to add to the series Rambaud's great work, which
has won the unanimous approval of the press in this and all European countries,
and has been crowned by the French Academy. A work thus honored by the high-
est literary authority in. the world may safely be accepted by the American public as
one which will be acknowledged as the Standard History of Russia. No good His-
tory of Russia exists in our language. The present work is offered as the only
trustworthy and complete History of Russia, in the English Language Three vols., royal
octavo. Price per vol., $5.50 ; shieep, SO. 50 ; half calf, $7.50.

The Massachusetts Agricultural College has been in successful
operation since 1867. The students reside on the College Farm, which
is beautifully situated in the town of Amherst, about three miles from
the Connecticut river, and contains nearly four hundred acres.
The course of study and training continues four years, special atten-
tion being given to Agriculture, Horticulture, Veterinary Medicine,
Chemistry, Botany, and Civil Engineering.
Graduates receive the Degree of Bachelor of Science from the College,
the Diploma bearing the signature of the Governor of the State, and
those wlio desire it may also take a corresponding diploma from the
Boston University. The expenses are moderate, and the education
thorough and practical.
