Historical  Sketch. 

The  Maryland  Agricultural  College  was  incorporated  by  an  Act  of 
the  General  Assembly  of  Maryland,  dated  March  6,  1856,  at  a  time  when 
but  one  other  such  institution  existed  in  the  United  States.  Its  express 
purpose  was  defined  to  be,  "To  instruct  the  youthful  student  in  those  arts 
and  sciences  indispensable  to  successful  agricultural  pursuit."  Under 
the  charter  thus  granted  to  a  party  of  public  spirited  private  individuals, 
the  original  college  building  was  erected,  and  its  doors  opened  to  students 
in  the  fall  of  1859.  For  three  years  it  was  conducted  as  a  private  insti- 
tution, but  in  1862  the  Congress  of  the  United  States,  recognizing  the 
valuable  work  in  the  cause  of  practical  education  which  such  colleges 
could  achieve  for  the  country,  passed  the  "Land  grant  Act,"  providing 
for  the  establishment  and  maintenance  of  agricultural  colleges,  by  apply- 
ing for  that  purpose  a  proportionate  amount  of  unclaimed  Western  land, 
in  place  of  scrip,  to  each  State  and  Territory  in  the  Union.  This  grant 
having  been  formally  accepted  by  the  General  Assembly  of  Maryland,  and 
the  Maryland  Agricultural  College  being  named  as  the  beneficiary  of  the 
grant,  the  College  thus  became,  in  part  at  least,  a  State  Institution  and  such 
it  is  at  the  present  time.  "**  *^ 

In  1887  the  Federal  Congress  passed  a  second  important  act  in  aid 
of  the  agricultural  interests,  appropriating  |15,000  a  year  for  the  estab- 
lishment and  maintenance  of  agricultural  experiment  stations.  The 
Maryland  Station  was  located  on  the  College  farm,  and  was  made  a  de- 
partment of  the  College.  In  1892  the  Board  of  Trustees  so  far  separat- 
ed it  from  the  College  as  to  put  it  under  a  special  Director,  who  is  imme- 
diately responsible  to  the  Board.  The  function  of  the  Experiment  Sta- 
tion  is  the  investigation  of  those  agricultural  problems  of  most  interest 
and  concern  to  the  farmers  of  the  State,  and  the  publication  and  dissemi- 
nation of  the  results  of  such  experiments  in  the  form  of  bulletins,  for 
the  information  and  guidance  of  those  interested  in  agriculture.  Since 
the  organization  of  the  Experiment  Station,  its  influence  has  steadily  in- 
creased, and  its  sphere  of  usefulness  has  constantly  widened,  until  it  is 
now  a  well  recognized  factor  in  the  agricultural  development  of  Maryland. 

Once  more,  in  1892  the  Federal  Government  came  to  the  aid  of  the 
agricultural  and  mechanical  colleges.  By  the  act  of  Congress  of  that  year 
an  annual  appropriation  of  $15,000,  to  be  increased  by  $1,000  each  year 
until  the  sum  of  $25,000  was  reached,  was  granted  each  State,  to  be  ap- 
plied to  the  further  equipment  and  support  of  these  colleges.  The  pri- 
mary object  of  this  legislation  was  the  development  of  the  departments  of 
agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts,  and  the  branches  kindred  thereto. 
Maryland,  as  was  the  case  in  all  the  States  of  the  South,  in  order  to  comply 
withthetermsof  the  Act  of  Congress,  divided  this  fund  between  the  State 
Agricultural  College  and  a  somewhat  similar  institution  for  the  education 
of  colored  students  located  at   Princess  Anne,  on  the  Eastern  Shore  of 

Maryland. 

During  the  last  twelve  years  the  history  of  the  College  has  shown  a 
record  of  steady  growth.  This  fact  is  evidenced  by  the  increased  number 
of  students  availing  themselves  of  its  facilities;  by  the  erection  of  many 
new  buildings— the  library  and  gymnasium  building,  the  chemical  labora- 
tory the  mechanical  engineering  building  (recently  enlarged),  Morrill  Hall, 


the  college  barn,  the  sanitarium  and  the  new  administration  building  and 
barracks  as  well  as  by  the  establishment  of  the  Department  of  Farmers' 
Institutes  and  the  State  Departments  of  Entomology  and  Vegetable  Pa- 
thology. Under  such  favorable  auspices  the  institution  must  continue 
to  grow,  and  ultimately  reach  the  status  of  being  the  most  important  fac- 
tor in  the  agricultural  and  industrial  development  of  the  iState. 

Location  and  Description. 

The  Maryland  Agricultural  College  is  located  in  Prince  George 
County,  Maryland,  on  the  line  of  the  Washington  Branch  of  the  B.  &  O. 
R.  R.,  eight  miles  from  Washington  and  thirty-two  miles  from  Baltimore. 
At  least  nine  trains  a  day  from  each  city  stop  at  College  Station  thus  mak- 
ing the  place  easily  accessible  from  all  parts  of  the  State.  The  telegraph 
station  is  Hyattsville  connected  with  the  College  by  a  telephone  line. 

The  College  grounds  front  on  the  Baltimore  and  W^ashington  turn- 
pike. The  suburban  town  of  Hyattsville  is  two  and  onehalf  miles  to 
the  south  and  Laurel  the  largest  town  in  the  county  is  thirteen  miles  to 
the  north  on  the  same  road.  Connection  with  these  towns  and  with 
Washington  may  be  had  by  steam  and  electric  railway.  The  site  of  the 
College  is  particularly  beaiitiful.  The  Iniildings  occupy  the  crest  of  a 
commanding  hill,  covered  with  forest  trees  and  overlooking  the  entire 
surrounding  country.  In  front  extending  to  the  turnpike  is  a  broad,  roll- 
ing campus,  the  drill  ground  and  athletic  field  of  the  students.  In  the 
rear  are  the  farm  buildings  and  barn.  A  quarter  of  a  mile  to  the  north- 
east are  the  buildings  of  the  Experiment  Station.  The  College  farm  con- 
tains about  three  hundred  acres  and  is  devoted  to  the  gardens,  orchards, 
vineyard  and  to  general  farming. 

The  College  barracks  is  a  five  story  brick  building  containing  stu- 
dent quarters  and  the  Domestic  Department.  The  dormitories  are  large, 
well  ventilated  and  provided  with  fire  escapes,  bath  and  water  rooms.  All 
the  buildings  are  lighted  with  gas  and  electricity  and  heated  with  steam 
from  central  plants  on  the  College  grounds. 

The  Mechanical  Engineering  Department  is  located  in  a  two  story 
brick  building,  completed  in  1896,  and  now  thoroughly  equipped.  It 
contains  workshops  for  woodwork,  machinery  rooms  well  furnished  with 
modern  equipment,  a  drawing  room,  library  and  office,  together  with  a 
large  annex,  designed  to  afford  additional  facilities  in  forging  and  foundry 
work,  which  was  erected  and  equipped  during  1904.  It  is  a  model  build- 
ing of  its  kind. 

The  chemical  building  was  completed  in  1897  and  is  now  thoroughly 
equipped.  It  contains  several  lecture  rooms,  laboratories  for  practical 
work  and  for  the  analysis  of  fertilizers  and  feeding  material  for  domestic 
animals.  This  work  is  assigned  to  the  Professor  of  Chemistry  at  this  Col- 
lege by  an  Act  of  the  General  Assembly.     He  is  thus  the  State  Chemist. 

In  1893  the  present  building  of  the  gymnasium  and  library  was  erect- 
ed. The  gymnasium,  on  the  ground  floor,  is  well  furnished  with  modern 
athletic  appliances.  The  library  and  reading  room  is  on  the  second  ftoor 
and  is  large,  well  lighted  and  convenient  for  the  purpose. 

Among  the  recent  additions  to  the  Group  of  College  buildings  is 
Morrill  Hall.  This  building  provides  ample  accommodations  for  the  De- 
partments of  Agriculture,  Horticulture,  Physics,  Entomology,  Vegetable 


10 

Pathology  and  Veterinary  Science,  thus  relieving  the  pressure  of  close 
quarters  from  \\hich  these  departments  have  suffered,  and  greatly  extend- 
ing their  opportunities  for  the  development  of  high  grade  scientific  work. 
A  greenhouse  for  work  in  entomology  and  vegetable  pathology  has  just 
been  added. 

The  College  Sanitarium,  completed  in  1901,  has  proven  a  most  eflSci- 
ent  means  of  isolating  infectious  diseases  which  might'  otherwise  have 
become  epidemic,  thus  seriously  embarrassing  College  work.  It  contains 
ample  room  for  all  emergencies,  and  is  furnished  with  modern  hospital 
facilities.  An  experienced  nurse  is  in  constant  attendance,  and  the  College 
surgeon  is  present  every  morning  at  a  fixed  hour  to  prescribe  for  any  cadet 
requiring  his  services. 

The  general  appearance  of  the  College  grounds  is  exceedingly  attrac- 
tive. Thev  are  tastefullv  laid  off  in  lawn  and  terraces,  with  ornamental 
shrubbery  and  flower  beds,  and  the  view  from  the  grove  and  campus  can- 
not be  surpassed. 

The  location  of  the  College  is  healthful ;  the  sanitary  conditions  are 
excellent.  No  better  proof  of  this  can  be  given  than  that  there  has  been 
no  really  serious  case  of  illness  among  the  students  for  ten  years. 


Recent  Improvements  and  Repairs. 


.ir.,^ 


Appreciating  the  needs  of  the  institution,  the  State  Legislature  has 
from  time  to  time  appropriated  funds  wherewith  buildings  could  be  erect- 
ed or  renovated  and  equipments  secured. 

Among  recent  improvements  are  additional  dormitories,  accommodat- 
ing twice  the  number  of  students;  an  auditorium  and  offices  in  the  Admin- 
istration Building;  a  complete  renovation  of  the  original  College  barracks; 
a  modern  steam  heating  plant ;  gas  and  electric  lighting ;  lavatories ;  forced 
ventilation,  etc.,  all  of  which  establishes  quarters  and  class  rooms  of  un- 
usually good  sanitary  arrangements. 

General  Aim  and  Purpose.  ' 

The  Agricultural  College  is  the  State  school  of  science  and  technolo- 
gy. While  seeking,  first  of  all,  to  perform  the  functions  of  an  agricul- 
tural college,  its  sphere  of  work  has  been  widened  to  embrace  all  the 
sciences  akin  to  agriculture  and  all  the  arts  related  to  mechanical  train- 
ing. To  these  special  and  prominent  lines  of  work  have  been  added  such 
branches  of  study  as  are  necessary  for  a  liberal  education,  for  the  devel- 
opment of  the  intelligent  citizen  and  the  making  of  general  culture. 
The  purpose  of  this  College  is  to  give  to  young  men  anxious  to  prepare 
themselves  for  the  active  duties  of  life  such  training  in  the  sciences  or 
in  the  mechanical  workshop  as  will  enable  them  to  take  their  places  in 
the  industrial   world  well  prepared  for  the  fierce  competition  of  the  day. 

Recognizing  that  such  an  education,  in  order  to  be  of  practical  ad- 
vantage to  many,  must  be  offered  at  a  cost  within  the  means  of  all,  the 
expenses  for  the  year  to  the  student  have  been  reduced  to  the  point  where 
his  college  dues  are  not  in  excess  of  his  ordinary  daily  expenses.  It  is  to 
be  remembered  that  the  College  is  a  State  institution,  in  part  supported 
by  the  State,  in  part  by  the  Federal  Government,  through  its  several  en- 
dowment Acts,  and  that  it  is  in  no  sense  a  money -making  institution,  but 


11 

simply  a  medium  of  disbursement  by  the   Government   to   those   classes 
upon  whom  the  safety  and  prosperity  of  the  State  so  largely  depend. 

While  the  College  provides,  as  will  hereinafter  be  explained,  several 
distinct  courses  of  instruction  looking  to  the  special  training  of  the  stud- 
ent in  agriculture,  mechanical  engineering  and  the  natural  and  physical 
sciences,  the  fact  is  clearly  kept  in  view  that  a  sound  foundation  must  be 
laid  for  each  and  every  course.  Successful  specialization  is  only  possible 
after  the  student  has  prepared  for  it  by  a  thorough  training  in  theessent- 
ialf'.  All  education  must  be  narrow  and  one  sided  which  does  not  provide 
for  the  general  culture  of  the  student,  and  which  does  not  look  first  to 
the  natural  and  normal  development  of  the  individual.  The  general 
Avorking  plan  of  the  College  may  be  thus  described; 

It  begins  with  the  student  in  his  first,  or  Freshman,  year  with  a  sys- 
tematic and  carefully  adjusted  scheme  of  work,  differing  but  little  in  the 
several  courses,  and  looking  to  his  general  development  in  mental 
strength,  range  of  information  and  power  of  expression  and  thought.  At 
the  beginning  of  his  second,  or  Sophomore,  year  the  differentiation  maybe 
said  to  begin  along  those  lines  in  which  he  shows  most  natural  aptitude. 
This  gradual  specialization  continues  during  his  third,  or  Junior,  year, 
until  in  his  last,  or  Senior,  year  his  work  consists  wholly  of  a  few  close- 
ly connected  topics,  in  which  he  is  thus  able  thoroughly  to  prepare  him- 
self. With  the  present  equipment  of  the  laboratory  and  mechanical  work- 
shops a  student  is  able  to  become  so  proficient  in  his  chosen  line  of 
work  that  when  he  leaves  the  College  a  successful  career  is  open  to  him  if 
he  chooses  to  avail  himself  of  it. 

The  Agricultural  College,  is  legitimately,  the  crowning  point  of  the 
public  school  system  of  Maryland.  Its  aim  is  to  provide  a  higher  educa- 
tion for  the  graduates  of  the  county  schools.  To  this  end  its  curriculum 
is  adjusted  to  meet  the  preparation  of  such  students.  It  is  this  class  of 
young  men  that  the  College  is  especially  desirous  of  reaching.  Experience 
has  shown  that  our  most  satisfactory  students  come  as  graduates  from  the 
county  schools,  and  no  efforts  will  be  spared  to  make  the  transition  from 
the  high  school  or  grammao*  school  to  the  College  a  possible  one  for  all 
those  actuated  by  an  earnest  desire  to  complete  their  education. 

Departments — Equipment  and  Work. 

The  following  is  a  brief  account  of  the  equipment  of  the  several  de- 
partments of  the  College  and  the  general  character  of  the  instruction  giv- 
en in  each:

The  Agricultural  Department  offers  four  courses— (a)  a  four-year 
course,  leading  to  the  degree  of  B.  S. ;  (b)  a  special  two-year  course,  for 
proficiency  in  which  a  certificate  is  awarded ;  (c)  a  special  creamery  course ; 
(d)  a  ten-week  winter  course.

Outline  of  Four- Year  Course. 

1.     Lecture  Course  In  Agriculture This  course  runs  through  the 

four  years,  and  consists  of  a  series  of  lectures  on  agricultural  topics,  de. 


12  .  _ 

livered  once  a  week  at  the  College  by  specialists  from  the  United  States 
Department  of  Agriculture  and  elsewhere.  This  course  is  a  new  depart- 
ure, and,  it  is  believed,  a  most  important  one.  The  weekly  presentation 
of  agricultural  topics  by  new  and  attractive  speakers  can  not  fail  to  have 
an  excellent  effect,  not  only  by  its  educational  features,  but  by  exciting 
among  the  students  a  livelier  interest  in  agricultural  work  through  con- 
tact with  men  of  prominence  in  the  profession. 

Students  taking  the  agricultural  or  general  science  courses  are  re- 
quired to  attend  these  lectures.  With  other  students  attendance  is  option- 
al. 

II.  Live  5tock. —  Third  Term,  Sophomore  Year — Seven  periods  per 
week;  three  iheoretiral,  four  practical.  This  course  is  devoted  to  the  detail- 
ed study  of  farm  live  stock,  including  stock  judging  and  breeds  of  stock. 
Prof.  Curtiss'  "Horses,  Cattle,  Sheep  and  Swine"  is  used  as  the  text  book, 
supplemented  by  the  "Breeders'  Gazette,"  "Hoards' Dairyman,"  and 
other  live  stock  jorunals  and  experiment  station  bulletins  for  collateral 
reading  and  reference.  Practical  lessons  are  drawn  from  the  stock  on  the 
Experiment  Station  farm.  The  United  States  Cattle  Quarantine  Station 
for  the  port  of  Baltimore  is  but  a  few  miles  from  the  College,  and  when- 
ever there  is  an  importation  of  special  merit  the  students  are  taken  to  the 
Quarantine  Station  to  inspect  and  study  the  stock  imported.  Another 
valuable  feature  of  this  course  is  the  taking  of  the  students  to  the  county 
fairs  where  the  best  stock  is  exhibited,  and  to  private  stock  farms  of  rec- 
ognized excellence,  where  not  only  the  animals  themselves,  but  also  the 
methods  of  handling  them,  are  made  the  subject  of  careful  study  and  in- 
spection.  For  this  purpose  this  course  is  extended  through  the  fair  sea- 
son in  the  fall  term  of  the  Junior  year. 

III.  Crop  Production. — First  Term,  Junior  Year — Ten  periods  per 
week;  four  theoretical,  six  practical.  Crop  production,  the  study  of  farm 
crops  in  detail,  as  to  history,  uses  and  requirements,  local  adaptations, 
varieties,  fertilization,  cultivation,  harvesting.  Morrow  &  Hunt's  "Soils 
and  Crops"  is  used  as  a  text  book.  The  College  farm  of  two  hundred  and 
sixty  acres  furnishes   opportunity  for  practical  work. 

A  special  feature  of  this  course  is  the  study  of  crop  improvement  by 
selection  and  breeding.  The  first  breeding  plot  of  corn  in  Maryland  Avas 
planted  on  the  Experiment  Station  farm  by  the  College  students,  from 
seed  ears  selected  and  scored  by  them  with  assistance  of  the  instructor  in 
agronomy.  The  same  system  of  student  work  is  used  in  all  corn  breed- 
ing Avork  and  other  crop  growing  experiments  whenever  practicable. 
Many  students  do  overtime  work,  for  which  they  are  paid  by  the  hour. 

The  practical  Avork  of  this  course  will  be  continued  into  the  spring 
term  of  the  Junior  year.  ^  .'/  ; 

IV.  Stock  Breeding. — First  and  Second  Term,  Junior  Year — Eight 
periods  per  iveek;  four  theoretical,  four  practical.  The  principles  of  stock 
breeding.  The  wonderful  success  which  has  attended  the  efforts  of  well 
informed  and  judicious  breeders  on  the  one  hand,  and  on  the  other  the 
greater  number  of  practically  worthless  animals  to  be  found  in  the  coun- 
try, clearly  illustrate  the  need  on  the  part  of  the  general  farmer  for  a  more 
intimate  knowledge  of,  and  a  closer  attention  to,  the  principles  Avhich 
underlie  this  important  branch  of  farming.     Miles'  "Stock  Breeding"  is 


< 


13 


the  text  book  in  this  course,  but  is  reinforced  by   the  study  of  the  breed- 
ing and  records  of  noted  animals  in  all  of  the  principal  breeds. 

V.  Soils. — Second  Term,  Junior  Year — Eight  period.'!  per 
week;  four  theoretical  and  four  practical.  The  study  of  the  physical  and 
chemical  conditions  of  the  soil  in  their  relation  to  profitable  argiculture. 
The  soil  is  the  basis  of  all  agriculture,  and  a  knoAvledge  of  its  properties 
and  functions  cannot  be  too  highly  emphasized.  The  study  of  this  im- 
portant  subject  is  conducted  by  means  of  lectures,  text  books,  laboratory 
and  field  work.  The  text  book  used  is  "The  Soil,"  by  Prof.  King.  No 
State  in  the  Union  possesses  a  greater  variety  of  soils  than  Maryland,  and 
great  attention  is  paid  to  the  study  of  soil  types  in  their  relation  to  profit- 
able agriculture. 

VI.  Farm  Drainaj^e. —  Third  Term,  Junior  Year — Eight  per- 
iods per  week;  four  theoretical,  four  practical.  The  text  book  used  in 
this  course  is  Waring's  "Drainage  for  Profit  and  Health."  Practical 
Avork  in  open  ditching  and  under  drains  is  provided  for  the  stud'^nts  on 
the  Experiment  Station  farm.  Special  attention  is  given  to  the  principles 
and  practice  of  tile  drainage. 

VII.  Fertilizers  and  Soil  Fertility. — First  Term,  Senior  Year— Ten 
periods  per  week.  Text  books:  Voorhees'  "Fertilizers,"  Roberts'  "Fer- 
tility of  the  Land,"  and  experiment  station  bulletins. 

VIII.  Dairying  And  Creamery  Work.— /S'wowr/  Term,  Senior 
Year —  Ten  jyeriods  per  week;  theoretical  and  practical.  Text  books ;  Wing's 
"Milk  and  Its  Production,"  Russell's  "A  Dairy  Bacteriolog}',"  Farring- 
ton  &  Wall's  "Testing  Milk." 

IX.  Farm  Machinery. — Third  Term,  Senior  Year — Ten  periods 
per  iveek.     Lectures  and  practical  work.  ,  -■,.,,. 

X.  Farm  Economics. —  Third  Term,  Senior  Year.     Lectures.    • 

Other  work  in  the  Senior  year  will  be  arranged  on  consultation  with

Qeology. 

This  course  is  required  in  the  Agricultural  and  General  [Science 
Courses.  Attention  is  chiefly  given  to  physical  geology.  The  latter  half 
of  the  second  term  is  devoted  to  the  geology  of  Maryland,  especially  as 
affecting  the  character  of  the  soils,  mineral  wealth  and  other  economic 
conditions  of  the  State.  Instruction  is  given  by  means  of  text  book  work, 
lectures  and  field  excursions..  Shaler's  "First  Book  in  Geology'  is  used 
as  a  text  book.  The  reports  of  the  Maryland  Geological  Survey  are  used 
for  reference.  ,  .

DEPARTMENT  OF  MATHEMATICS. 

K.  W.  SiLVESTEE,  Professor, 
HE]!fRY  T.  Harrison,  Assistant. 

Mathematics  is  the  basis  upon  which  scientific  information  rests.  A 
knowledge  of  the  study  is  necessary,  as  much  from  the  utilitarian  point 
of  view  as  from  the  mental  training  its  acquisition  gives.  Its  importance 
as  a  factor  in  our  College  course  takes  its  rise  from  the  former  considera- 
tion. All  instruction  in  this  work  is  with  a  view  to  the  equipping  of 
students  for  the  more  practical  work  soon  to  follow. 

The  class  work  in  Mathematics  in  the  several  courses  consists  of 
arithmetic,  bookkeeping,  algebra,  geometry  (plane  and  solid),  trigonome- 
try (plane  and  spherical),  descriptive  geometry,  in  its  application  to  me- 
chanical drawing,  analytical  geometry,  differential  and  integral  calculus, 
in  their  application  to  mechanics,  engineering,  physics  and  surveying. 

In  the  applied  mathematics,  book-keeping  is  taught  every  student, 
No  matter  what  vocation  a  man  intends  to  follow,  a  knowledge  of  business 
forms  and  methods  of  systematic  accounts  is  a  requisite  tp  success.  To 
be  able  to  use  an  ordinary  compass  or  transit,  for  the  purpose  of  laying 
out,  dividing  and  calculating  the  area  of  land,  or  of  running  outlines  and 
leveling  for  the  purpose  of  drainage,  is  a  necessary  accomplishment  for 
every  intelligent  farmer.

PEHARTMBNT  OF  ENQLISH  AND  CIVICS.       ^  v^ 

F.  B.  BoMBERGEB,  Professor.     :     '  .     . 

Charles  S.  Richardson,  Assistant.  '     ; 

This  department,  as  its  name   implies,  covers  the  work  of  two   dis- 
tinct courses  of  instruction.     It  seeks  to  prepare  the  student  by  systematic 
training  in  the  history,    structure  and  use  of   the  English  language,  for 
Ithe  highest  develppment  of  his  mental  powers  and  for  the  complex  duties 
(and  relations  of  life;   and,    further,  to  fit  him  for  the  active  and  intelli- 
Igent  exercise  of  his  rights  and  duties  as  a  man  and  citizen. 

The  course  in   English,    of  necessity,    lies  at  the  base  of  all   other 

Icourses  of   instruction.        Clear  and   comprehensive  knowledge  of   his 

mother  tongue  is  absolutely  necessary  to  the  student  in  pursuing  any  line 

of  college  work.      Nor  is  this  all,  for  aside  from  the  practical   value  of 

the  English  instruction  as  an   aid   to   other   branches  of  study,  and  as  a 

preparation  for  business  and  profession,  it  is  to  his  training  in  this  de- 

partment,  in  connection  with    his     study   of     history  and   the   classics 

and  modern  languages,  that  the   student   must   look  for  the  acquiring  of 

that  general  culture  that  has  always  been  the  distinguishing  mark  of  the 

[liberally  educstted  man.      The  English   work,  which  is  common  to  all 

j  courses,  consists  of  the  study  of  the   structure  of  the  English  language, 

literature,  English   and   American,    theoretical   and   practical  rhetoric, 

I  logic,  critical  reading  and  analysis,    and  constant  exercise   in  expression, 

{ composition  and  theme  writing. 

The  course  in  civics  is  especially  designed  to  prepare  young  men  for 
I  the  active  duties  of  citizenship.  The  first  two  years  are  devoted  to  the 
study  of  general  history,  followed  by  the  principles  of  civil  government, 
constitutional  history,  political  economy,  with  special  reference  to  cur- 
rent social  and  industrial  problems,  and,  finally,  lectures  on  the  elements 
of  business  law.

DEPARTMENT  OF  CHEMISTRY. 

Dr.  H.  B.  McDonnell,  Professor. 
..       J.  J.  Morgan,  Assistant. 

This  department  is  charged  with  two  distinct  classes  of  work;  (1),  the 
State  fertilizer  and^food  control,  and  (2),  the  instruction  of  students.  The 
State  work  necessitates  the  publication  of  the  "Quarterly,"  which  is  us- 
ually made  up  of  the  results  of  analysis  of  fertilizers  and  feeding  stuffs, 
and  is  sent  free  of  charge  to  all  Maryland  farmers  who  apply.  Students 
do  no  part  of  this  work,  th«  assistants  invariably  being  college  graduates. 

The  Chemical  Laboratory  Building  is  devoted  entirely  to  chemistry. 
It  is  new  and,  not  including  basement,  is  two  stories  high.  On  thefirst  floor 
are  the  laboratories  for  the  State  fertilizer  and  food  control  work,  office, 
lecture  room  and  balance  room.  On  the  second  floor  are  three  laboratories 
for  the  use  of  students— one  for  each  class — a  students'  balance  room 
with  first  class  chemical  and  assay  balances  and  a  supply  room.  The  assay 
furnaces  are  in  the  basement.  Each  student  is  provided  with  a  working 
desk,  lockers,  reagents  and  apparatus.  Additional  apparatus  and  mater- 
ials are  provided  from  the  supply  room,  as  needed.

The  department  is  provided  with  a  small  but  well  selected  library 
of  standard  referenece  books  on  chemistry  to  which  additions  are  made 
from  time  to  time. 

Instruction  in  chemistry  is  begun  with  the  Sophomore  year,  four 
hours  per  week  being  devoted  to  lectures  and  recitations,  and  three  to  four 
hours  to  practical  work  in  the  laboratory  by  the  student,  under  the  super- 
vision of  the  instructor.  In  this  way  he  comes  in  direct  contact  with 
the  substances  studied,  having  at  hand  ample  facilities  for  learning  their 
properties.  Special  attention  is  given  to  the  elements  and  compounds  of 
practical  and  economic  importance,  such  as  the  air,  water  and  soil,  the 
elements  entering  into  the  composition  of  plants  and  animals;  the  useful 
metals,  etc.  The  course  in  the  Sophomore  year  is  intended  to  give  the 
student  that  practical  and  theoretical  knowledge  of  elementary  chemistry 
which  is  essential  in  the  education  of  every  man,  no  difference  what  his 
vocition.  It  also  serves  as  a  foundation  for  advanced  work  in  chemistry, 
if  such  a  course  is  chosen.  "" 

Chemistry  becomes  an  elective  study  in  the  Junior  year,  when  an  ad- 
vanced course  in  general  chemistry  is  given,  together  with  qualitative 
analysis,  <|uantitative  analysis,  mineralogy  and  chemical  technology. 
Four  hours  per  week  are  devoted  to  the  lecture  room,  and  from  twelve  to 
fifteen  hours  to  laboratory  work. 

During  the  Senior  year  the  work  consists  of  organic  chemistry  and 
agricultural  chemical  analysis  including  analysis  of  fertilizers,  feeding 
stuffs,  water,  etc. ,  and  a  short  course  in  assaying.  The  work  qf  the  last 
term  consists,  mainly,  in  the  preparation  of  a  thesis  involving  original 
work. 

The  object  of  the  full  chemistry  course  is  to  prepare  the  graduate 
for  positions  in  agricultural  colleges,  experiment  stations,  the  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture  or  in  various  industries  that  require  the 
services  of  analytical  chemists.  The  demand  for  our  graduates  for  such 
positions  is  far  in  excess  of  the  supply.

cal periods  per  week  for  the  second  term.  During  the  second 
year  they  receive  two  lectures  and  four  practical  periods  per  week  for  the 
Three  terms.  The  character  of  the  work  is  such  as  to  enable  a  stock  own- 
er to  care  for  animals  in  health  and  disease  in  an  intelligent  manner,  to 
appreciate  symptoms  of  disease,  and  to  treat  the  commoner  disorders  and 
diseases  of  the  domesticated  animals.

DEPARTMENT  OF  ENTOMOLOGY  AND  ZOOLOGY. 

T,  B.  Symons,  Professor. 

A.  B.  Gahan,  Assistant. 

The  instruction  in  this  department  is  given  by  means  of  lectures, 
laboratory  practice  and  field  work.  In  the  lectures  the  more  general 
(questions  are  discussed,  with  a  view  of  giving  the  students  as  broad  a 
knowledge  of  the  subject  as  practicable  in  the  time  devoted  to  it.  In  the 
laboratory,  attention  is  given  to  methods  of  investigation,  insect  anatomy, 
and  preparation  and  classification  of  collections  made  in  the  field.  The 
work  of  this  department  is  open  only  to  Juniors  and  Seniors  in  the  Agri- 
cultural, Chemical  and  General  Science  courses,  unless  by  special  ar- 
rangement. 

1.  Zoology. — First  and  Seco fid  Tetfiis,  Junior  Year — Six  periods 
per  week;  lectures  and  laboratory  exercises-  This  course  involves  a 
study  of  representatives  of  the  principal  groups  of  animals,  together  with 
lectures  on  their  structure  and  classification.  r        ■:

II.  Entomology. —  Third  Ternty  Junior  Year — General  Course — 
Eight  periods  per  week-  Lectures  and  laboratoy  exercises.  The  lectures 
treat  of  the  zoological  position  of  insects,  the  characteristics  of  the  or- 
ders, sub-orders,  and  the  more  important  families;  the  habits  and  life 
history  of  insects,  with  special  reference  to  those  species  that  are  of  eco- 
nomic importance.  The  laboratory  and  field  work  includes  the  study  of 
the  more  general  features  of  insect  anatomy,  the  determination  of 
common  species,  and  the  collection  and  preservation  of  insects. 

III.  Entomology. — Senior  Year-  Advanced  course.  Open  only  to 
students  who  have  completed  I  and  II  or  their  equivalents.  This 
course  consists  of  special  work  in  morphology  or  classification,  or  work- 
ing out  the  life  history  of  insects.  Students  making  entomology  their 
major  will  be  required  to  devote  at  least  ten  hours  per  week,  throughout 
the  year,  to  this  course,  and  prepare  an  original  thesis  upon  the  subject 
■chosen  or  assigned.  ._       \^<-  . 


DEPARTMENT  OF  BOTANY  AND  VEGETABLE  PATHOLOGY. 

J.  B.  S.  NoBTON,  Professor. 
Frederick  H  Blodgett,  Assistant. 

The  courses  in  Botany  are  intended  to  give  such  knowledge  of  the 
vegetable  kingdom  as  is  a  proper  element  in  general  culture;  to  train  the 
student  mind  in  observation,  comparison,  generalization  and  other  men- 
tal processes  essential  to  true  scientific  methods  in  any  work,  and  to  fur- 
nish a  basis  for  practical  studies  directly  connected  with  agriculture,  for 
since  plants  in  the  field  and  garden  are  the  subjects  dealt  with,  the  study 
of  plant  life  must  be  one  of  the  fundamental  sciences  on  which  such  work 
is  based.  No  course  can  be  taken  unless  those  preceding  it  or  their  equiv- 
alent have  been  pursued. 

The  equipment  and  means  of  illustration  and  demonstration  consist 
of  a  reference  library  containing  the  principal  botanical  works  needed  by 
students,  charts  and  maps,  compound  and   dissecting  microscopes,    pre- 


•27  .;,■■... 

served  specimens  for  illustration,  a  representative  collection  of  Maryland 
plants,  microtome  and  other  instruments,  reagents  and  apparatus  for  his- 
tological work  and  physiological  experiments;  a  culture  room,  sterilizers, 
incubators  and  other  facilities  for  the  study  of  plant  diseases. 

I.  Elemeniary  Botanv.— r/„>^  Term,  Freshman  Year— Two  the- 
oretical and  four  practical  periods  per  week'  Laboratory  and  field 
work,  with  supplementary  reading,  using  principallv  Leavitf'^s  '•Outlines 
of  Botany,"  or  Bergen's  "Foundations  of  Botany,''  and  taking  up  the 
fundamental  facts  regarding  structure  and  elementary  physiology  of  the 
common  plants  with  a  systematic  study  of  the  spring  flora.  Each  student 
begins  a  collection  of  plant  specimens  to  illustrate  a  subject  in  which  he 
is  specially  interested. 

II.  Ecology.— /r^y^/  Term,  Sophomore  Year —  Two  theoretical  and 
hur  practical  periods  per  week-  The  work  of  Course  I  is  continued 
with  the  wild  and  cultivated  fall  plants,  and  special  attention  given  to 
the  associations  of  plants  and  their  relations  to  environment,  light,  water 
soil,  etc.  In  connection  with  these  exercises  the  reproductive  organs  of 
plants  and  their  work  is  studied.  Suitable  literature  for  reading  is  used 
to  supplement  the  field  and  laboratory  work. 

III.  Morphology  and  Life  Histories  of  Plants.-^^^^,^^^  Term,  Junior 
Year— Three  theoretical  and  th>ee  practical  periods  per  week  in  the 
Agricultural  Course;  three  theoretical  and  four  practical  in  the  Biolog- 
ical Course-  A  comparative  study  of  the  structure  and  life  histories  of 
principal  types  of  plants  from  the  lowest  to  the  highest  is  pursued,  special 
attention  being  given  to  those  groups  of  plants  of  particular  economic  in- 
terest. The  exercises  consist  of  lectures  and  microscopic  work  in  the 
laboratory.  In  addition  a  series  of  lectures  on  economic  plants  is  given 
m  which  the  structure,  geographical  distribution,  classification  and  uses 
of  the  principal  economic  plants,  including  food  plants,  grasses,  timber 
fruits,  weeds,  poisonous  plants,  parasitic  fungi,  etc.,  is  studied.  ' 

IV.  Plant  Physiology— /r^v^^  Term,  Senior  Year— Two  lectures 
and  a  minimum  of  eight  periods  of  experimental  laboratory  work  This 
course  may  be  elected  as  a  minor. 

V.  Plant  Pathology — Second  Term,  Senior   Year— Two  lectures 
and  a  minimum  of  eight  periods  of  laboratory  and  field  work  Per  week- 
ihis  course  embraces  a  study  of  the  causes,  symptoms  and  means  of  con 
trol  of  plant  diseases.     It  may  be  elected  as  a  minor  following  Course  IV 
or  the  two  courses  may  be  pursued  together.  ' 

VI.  Ot\%\nA\^esttivc\i.— Third  Term,  Senior  Year-  Thestudent's 
time  during  this  term  is  spent  in  completing  a  thesis  on  some  botanical 
subject  on  which  he  has  done  original  work  during  the  year. 

Courses  in  Dendrology,  Economic  Plant  Histology,  Special  Syste- 
matic Work  or  Studies  relating  to  Plant  Breeding,  mav  be  arranged  fo- 
those  who  wish,  to  take  the  places  of  Courses  IV   and  V. 

Senior  students  selecting  Botany  as  a  major  study  must  have  had  I 
to  IV  inclusive,  or  their  equivalents.  An  outline  of  the  work  and  hours 
will  be  arranged  upon  consultation  with  the  Professor  in  charge. 


28 

Advanced  Work. — Courees  in  advanced  work  in  Botany  and  Plant 
Pathology  will  be  c>pen  to  all  students  who  have  completed  the  six  under- 
graduate courses  or  their  equivalents.  This  work  is  designed  for  students 
who  wish  to  specialize  in  Botany  or  in  Plant  Pathology.  An  outline  of 
the  courses  and  subjects  for  original  investigation  will  be  arranged  upon 
consultation  with  the  Professor  in  charge.  Students  specializing  in  the 
above  courses  may  often  gain  further  knowledge  by  assisting  in  the  work 
of  the  department.  Special  attention  is  given  to  students  wishing  prac- 
tice in  the  treatment  of  plant  diseases. 


DEPARTMENT  OF  LANGUAGES. 

Thomas  H.  S  PENCE,  Professor. 

The  Department  of  Languages  embraces  the  study  of  three  branches : 
Latin,  French  and  German.  All  students  are  required  to  take  the  courses 
in  German;  only  students  of  the  *ClassicHl  Course  are  required  to  take 
Latin.  Students  in  the  General  Science  Course  may  elect  to  take  Latin 
in  the  Freshman  and  Senior  year. 

The  course  of  study  in  Latin  is  given  Vv'ith  two  ends  in  view — first, 
to  train  the  growing  mind  into  accurate  and  close  methods  of  reasoning; 
second,  to  give  the  student  more  thorough  and  comprehensive  knoAvledge 
of  his  own  language  than  he  could  otherwise  acquire.  Especial  attention 
is  paid  to  Latin  syntax  and  idioms.  The  translation  work  of  the  course 
consists  of  selections  from  Sallust,  Virgil,  Cicero,  Horace,  Caesar,  Ovid, 
Livy,  JuA'enal,  Tacitus  and  Terence. 

So  large  a  proportion  of  modern  scientific  literature  is  in  German 
and  French  that  a  reading  knowledge  of  these  languages  has  become  al- 
most essential  to  the  student  pursuing  advanced  courses  in  the  various 
spheres  of  scientific  research.  Instruction  in  these  branches  is  given, 
therefore,  to  enable  the  student  to  translate  intelligently  the  works  of 
French  and  German  masters  in  the  domain  of  science,  for,  as  a  rule,  there 
is  no  English  version  of  their  works.  As  the  student  becomes  more  fa- 
miliar with  foreign  scientific  terms  and  construction,  he  is  required  to 
translate  treatises  bearing  upon  the  especial  line  of  work  which  he  may 
be  pursuing.  The  study  of  French  is  offered  as  an  option  in  the  Senior 
year. 

Latin  Courses. 

I.  Grammar  and  Composition. — Three  Terms,  Freshman  Year- 
For  students  of  the  Scientific  course  who  elect  Latin  in  place  of  History. 
Text-books,  Gildersleeve's  "New  Latin  Primer,"  Collar  and  Daniell's 
"First  Year  Latin,"  or  Bingham's  Latin  Grammar. 

The  aim  of  this  course  is  to  give  the  student  a  familiarity  with 
Latin  forms  and  terminations,  and  enable  him  to  read  simple  Latin 
prose.       ■•  . 

il.  Translation  and  Composition — First  Term  y  Junior  Year — 
Six  periods  per  week'  Text-books,  Allen  and  Greenough's  "Cicero,"

*The  Classical  Course,  established  in  ]S9?,  was  abolished  in  1904.    Instruction  leading  to  the 
degree  of  J5-  A.  is  therefore,  offered  only  to  students  of  the  Junior  and  Senior  Years.

niLI-TARY  DEPARTMENT. 

Commandant. 

The  Military  Department  is  a  distinctive  feature  of  the  College.  By 
special  Acts  of  Congress,  provision  is  made  for  the  maintenance  of 
a  Department  of  Military  Science  and  Tactics  in  each  of  the  land-^rant 
colleges.  An  officer  of  the  United  States  Army  is  detailed  to  act  as 
instructor  in  military  tactics  and  as  commandant  of  cadets. 

The  Military  Department  of  this  College  is  in  a  most  flourishing 
condition.  All  students  upon  entering,  unless  physically  incapacitated, 
are  enrolled  in  one  of  the  companies  of  the  cadet  battalion.  Students 
are  required  to  wear  the  prescribed  uniform  at  all  times  when  on  duty. 
The  discipline  in  barracks  is  entrusted  to  cadet  oflScers,  under  the  super- 
vision of  the  Commandant,  and  the  discipline  of  the  College  is  generally 
military  in  its  nature.  The  practical  instruction  of  the  cadets  consists 
of  daily  drills  in  the  "School  of  the  Soldier,"  "School  of  the  Company," 
"School  of  the  Battallion,"  and  outpost  duty.  The  study  of  tactics  and 
lectures  on  military  science,  with  practical  lessons  in  procedure  of  mili- 
tary  courts,  constitute  the  class-room  work  of  the  department. 

The  Military  Department  is  a  decided  factor  in  the  moral  and  physi- 
cal development  of  the  student  body.  By  encouraging  habits  of  prompt- 
ness, obedience  and  neatness,  and  by  its  beneficial  effects  upon  the  carriage 
and  general  health  of  the  students,  it  adds  materially  to  the  usefulness  of 
the  College  as  an  educational  institution. 

Discipline. 

The  discipline  of  the  College,  as  has  been  stated,  is  generally  military 
in  its  character.  Students  are  under  the  control  of  cadet  officers,  subject 
to  the  direction  of  the  officer  in  charge,  who  makes  a  daily  report  to  the 
Commandant  of  Cadets.  The  final  authority,  however,  in  all  cases,  is  the 
President  of  the  College. 

All  students  are  expected  to  conduct  themselves  as  young  gentlemen 
worthy  of  respect  and  confidence,  and  to  be  zealous  and  loyal  to  duty 
under  all  circumstances.  Upon  entrance,  each  one  is  required  to  give  his 
word  that  he  will  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  insti- 
tution. A  copy  of  the  rules  is  then  given  him,  and  he  is  held  responsible 
for  all  acts  in  disregard  thereof.  Cadet  officers  in  receiving  the  honors 
which  promotion  implies^  accept  with  them  obligations  and  duties  which 
they  are  bound  to  regard-  This  is  the  keynote  of  sttcdent  government^ 
Failure  i?t  duty  means,  necessarily^  forfeiture  of  confidence  and  ra?ik. 

Punishment  for  trivial  breaches  of  regulations  consists  of  deprivation 
of  privileges,  confinement  to  grounds  or  rooms,  or  special  military  duties; 
for  aggravated  offenses  punishment  may  be  suspension  or  expulsion,  at 
the  discretion  of  the  Faculty  and  the  President. 

If  an  excessive  number  of  demerits  be  given  to  any  student  during 
one  term,  marked  deficiency  in  conduct  is  apparent,  and  his  parents  or 
guardian  must  at  once  remove  him  from  the  College. 

Military  Promotions. 

The  awarding  of  commissions  and  of  warrants  to  officers  and  non- 
commissioned officers  of  the   battalion    is   based   on    soldierly   bearing. 


31 

observance  of  the  rules  of  the  College  and  scholastic  attainments.  The 
fipts  on  which  the  final  standing  is  made  for  recommendation  for  promo- 
tion are  obtained  from  the  Commandant's  record  of  soldierly  bearing  and 
oonduct  and  from  the  recorded  reports  of  the  Faculty  as  to  conduct, 
recitations  and  examinations.  Commissioned  officers  are  selected  from 
the  Senior  Class.  These  officers  are  required  to  serve  for  the  year,  per- 
forming all  duties  imposed  by  the  regulations  of  the  College  as  a  part  of 
their  regular  course  of  training.  Their  conduct  as  officers  will  be  rated 
as  a  studv,  having  a  value  of  five  (5)  theoretical  periods  per  week,  and  a 
Quarterly  grade  will  be  given.  Failure  to  perform  such  duties  shall  con- 
stitute a  deficiencv,  causing  forfeiture  of  both  diploma  and  commission. 
All  members  of  the  Senior  Class  will  be  required  to  perform  these  duties, 
i  All  Seniors  with  quarters  in  barracks  will  be  required  to  drill  either  as 
officers  or  privates.  Sergeants  are  selected  from  the  Junior  Class,  and 
corporals  from  the  Sophomore  Class.  Exceptions  will  be  made  to  this 
order  only  when  the  number  of  men  in  any  one  class  qualified  for  pro- 
motion is  not  sufficient  for  the  quota  of  officers  required.  The  stand- 
ing of  a  cadet  at  the  end  of  the  year  will  be  the  basis  of  recommen- 
dation for  his  promotion.  The  possibility  of  his  working  off  conditions 
during  the  summer  cannot  be   considered,  this  being  a   very  uncertain 

a£tor. 

Uniform. 

The  cadet  uniform,  which  is  required  to  be  worn  by  students  at  all 
times,  is  made  by  contract  with  the  tailors  at  a  much  lower  price  than 
it  could  be  furnished  to  individuals.  The  student's  measure  is  taken 
after  he  arrives  at  the  College,  and  the  fit  is  guaranteed.  For  fall  and 
winter  the  uniform  is  of  substantial  cadet-gray  cloth,  while  in  spring 
and  summer  a  uniform  of  light  khaki  is  used. 


DEPARTnENT  OF  PUBLIC  SPEAKING. 

Charles  S.  Richardson,  Professor. 

The  object  of  this  department  is  to  give  a  thorough  training  in 
public  speaking.  The  work  is  begun  with  easy  lessons  in  Elocution,  and 
this  is  continued  until  the  student  has  accjuired  a  mastery  of  vocal  expres- 
sion, and  a  pleasing  and  forcible  delivery.  The  student  is  then  required 
to  deliver  both  extempore  and  prepared  speeches,  covering  a  wide  range  of 
subjects,  in  this  way  not  only  securing  practice  m  delivery,  but  also  de- 
veloping the  power  of  logical  thought. 

I.  First  Term,  Freshman  Year— 07ie  period  per  week.  Articula- 
tion, accent,  modulation,  force  and  elocutionary  pause:  expressive  man- 
agement of  the  body,  attitude,  and  motion.  Selections  of  poetry  and 
prose  are  read  and  declaimed  by  students. 

H.  Second  Term ,  Freshman  Year — Two  periods  per  week-  Simple 
lectures  on  orators  and  oratory.  Methods  of  analysis  and  subjects  for 
oration.  Original  orations  by  students,  both  extempore  and  prepared, 
on  simple  abstract  subjects  and  speeches  before  the  class  on  the  less  com- 
plex public  questions.  Subjects  for  orations  requiring  research  in  differ- 
ent departments  of  knowledge.     Lectures  on  parliamentary  law.

III.  First  Term,  Sophomore  Year — One  period  per  week'  A  review 
of  all  work  of  Freshman  Classes.  More  advanced  selections  for  declama- 
tion (Shakespeare,  Macaulay,  "Webster,  etc.).  Lectures  on  ancient  and 
modern  orators,  with  readings  and  declamations  by  students  from  ora- 
tions. V 

IV-  Second  Term,  Sophomore  Year — Two  periods  per  week- 
Extempore  speeches  by  students  on  various  subjects.  Prepared  original 
orations  by  students  on  abstract  subjects.  Prepared  original  orations  by 
students  on  subjects  requiring  careful  and  intelligent  research,  including 
the  important  public  issues  of  the  day  (tariff,  currency,  territorial  expan- 
sion, trades  unions,  trusts,  Isthmian  Canal,  etc.).  Lectures  on  parlia- 
mentary law. 


PREPARATORY  DEPARTflENT. 

Henbv  T.  Harrison.  Principal. 
Charles  S.    EieHARDSON,    Assistant.  ; 

This  department  was  organized  in  1892,  and  is  designed  to  meet 
the  requirements  of  those  students  who  have  not  had  the  advantages  of  a 
thorough  grammar  school  training,  with  a  view  to  equipping  them  to 
enter  the  regular  collegiate  department. 

Only  such  students  are  desired  as  will  be  able  to  enter  the  Fresh- 
man Class  within  a  year,  and  who  are  fifteen  years  of  age.  This  course 
is  recommended  especially  to  students  who  have  not  been  to  school  for 
several  years ;  for  their  progress  in  the  regular  collegiate  course,  by  virtue 
of  such  a  drawback,  would  be  seriously  impeded.  It  is  to  be  remarked 
that  as  a  rule  the  students  who  have  taken  this  course  make  excellent 
progress  in  their  later  college  work.  Students  in  this  department  are 
subject  to  the  same  military  regulations  as  other  students.

DEPARTMENT  OF  PHYSICAL  CULTURE. 

Charles  S.  Richardson,  Director. 

The  physical  culture  of  the  students  is  provided  for  by  a  regular 
course  of  instruction  in  the  Gymnasium.  The  course  is  carefully  planned, 
so  as  to  develop  gradually  and  scientifically  the  physical  powers  of  each 
student.  Beginning  with  the  simplest  calisthenic  exercises,  the  instruc- 
tion covers  the  w^hole  field  of  light  and  heavy  gymnastics  and  field  and 
track  athletics. 

The  equipment  and  arrangement  of  the  Gymnasium  is  very  complete, 
iind  the  interest  manifested  by  the  students  is  a  sufficient  proof  of  the 
success  of  this  department.  While  desiring  to  make  the  work  in  the 
Gymnasium  of  practical  value  to  all  the  students,  the  required  work  only 
extends  through  the  Preparatory,  Freshman  and  Sophomore  years.  Three 
periods  per  week,  Preparatory,  Freshman  and  Sophomore  years. 

One  of  the  most  valuable  features  of  this  department  is  a  complete 
anthropometry  outfit,  by  means  of  which  measurements  and  strength  tests 
of  students  are  taken  at  the  beginning  and  also  at  the  end  of  each  scho- 
lastic year.  By  means  of  these  measurements  and  tests  the  exact  physical 
condition  of  each  individual  student  can  be  ascertained,  and  such  special 
exercises  given  as  will  produce  a  symmetrical  development  of  the  body. 

A  valuable  adjunct  to  this  department  has  been  the  College  Athletic 
Association,  of  which  mention  is  made  under  the  head  of  "Student 
Organizations." 


THE  COLLEGE  LIBRARY. 

F.  B.  BOMBERGER,  Librarian. 

The  College  Library  may  properly  be  regarded  as  one  of  the  depart- 
ments of  the  institution,  as  its  aid  for  purposes  of  reference  and  its 
influence  upon  the  mental  development  of  the  students  must  always  be 
felt  throughout  all  courses.  The  present  quarters  of  the  Library,  while 
adequate  for  its  immediate  needs,  will  necessarily  be  too  limited  in  the 
course  of  time.  The  reading  room  is  well  arranged  and  lighted,  and  is  in 
all  respects  comfortable  and  convenient. 

While  the  Library  is  not  large,  the  collection  of  works  has  been 
carefully  chosen,  and  the  shelves  contain  a  fair  supply  of  works  of 
reference,  history,  biography,  essays,  poetry  and  the  standard  w^orks 
of  fiction.  Several  hundred  volumes  of  bound  United  States  Government 
Keports  comprise  an  important  addition  to  the  reference  works  of  the 
Library.  Most  of  the  leading  magazines  and  a  large  number  of  news- 
papers are  subscribed  for;  technical  periodicals  and  works  of  reference 
relating  to  specific  branches  are  deposited  in  the  libraries  of  the  various 
departments.

COURSES  OF  STUDY. 

In  order  to  systematize  the  work  of  the  numerous  departments  of 
the  College,  and  as  far  as  possible  arrange  for  specialization  within  the 
limits  consistent  with  the  normal  development  of  individual  students, 
three  distinct  courses  of  study  have  been  prescribed,  one  of  which  the 
student  is  expected  to  choose  upon  entering  the  collegiate  department. 
These  courses  are  the  Agricultural,  Mechanical  Engineering  and 
Scientific.  A  continuous  and  progressive  course  of  work,  beginning  in 
the  Freshman  year,  and  gradually  narrowing  in  the  three  succeeding 
years  until  the  class-work  is  almost  wholly  specialized,  has  been  found  to 
be  most  satisfactory.  A  broad  and  liberal  foundation  is  first  laid  in  the 
Freshman  and  Sophomore  years,  and  then  the  particular  line  of  study 
desired  is  emphasized  more  and  more  until  the  end  of  the  course. 

In  the  Agricultural  Course  the  main  study  is  scientific  agriculture 
in  all  its  various  branches.  The  detailed  statement  of  the  arrangement 
of  the  course  is  given  on  another  page.  The  object  of  the  course  is  to 
acquaint  young  men  who  propose  to  engage  in  farming  with  the  results 
of  recent  investigation  and  research,  in  order  to  enable  them  to  engage  in 
practical  general  farming,  dairying  or  stock-raising,  in  accordance  with 
the  best  known  methods  of  modern  times.  The  course  leads  to  the 
degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science. 

The  Short  Winter  Course  in  Agriculture  is  especially  designed  for 
for  those  who  have  neither  time  nor  the  opportunity  to  take  the  regular 
four-year  couitee.  In  fact,  it  is  really  designed  for  those  actually  engaged 
in  farming,  and  who  can  spare  a  few  weeks  during  the  winter  to  attend 
lectures,  and  to  follow  the  practical  work  of  the  College  and  Experiment 
Station.  The  course  embraces  the  following  subjects:  Farm  crops, 
drainage,  stock-breeding,  stock-feeding,  manures,  tobacco,  dairy  hus- 
bandry, chemistry,  horticulture,  entomology,  plant  physiology  and  pa- 
thology, farm  accounts,  road  construction,  carpentry,  blacksmithing, 
pipe  fitting,  veterinary  science,  the  principles  of  citizenship  and  the 
elements  of  business  law.  The  entire  expense,  including  board,  need 
not  be  over  fifty  ($50)  dollars.  The  course  extends  through  the  months 
of  January  and  February.  All  details  are  in  charge  of  W.  T.  L.  Talia- 
ferro, Professor  of  Agriculture,  and  H.  J.  Patterson,  Director  of  the 
Experiment  Station. 

The  details  of  the  Mechanical  Engineering  Course  will  be  found  on 
another  page.  The  practical  work  of  this  course  is  most  thorough.  The 
student  is  familiarized  from  the  first  with  the  use  of  tools  and  implements 
of  wood  and  iron  work.  He  is  given  daily  practice  in  the  shops,  and  is 
encouraged  to  develop  whatever  inventive  talent  he  may  have.  It  is  be- 
lieved that  students  completing  this  course  will  have  no  difficulty  in 
securing  employment  after  graduation  in  the  field  of  mechanics  or  me- 
chanical engineering.

The  Classical  Course  was  instituted  in  1893  to  meet  a  demand  on  the 
part  of  the  patrons  of  the  College  for  a  course  of  study  which  should 
prepare  young  men  to  enter  the  so-called  learned  professions.  The  estab- 
lishment of  the  Mechanical  Course  and  the  additional  facilities  offered  in 
the  various  scientific  courses  have,  to  a  large  extent,  done  away  with  the 
necessity  of  the  Classical  Course;  and  the  Board  of  'Trustees, 
taking  these  facts  into  consideration  and  having  also  in  mind  that  the 
true  mission  of  the  College  was  to  afford  instruction  in  the  agricultural 
sciences  and  mechanic  arts,  passed  an  order  abolishing  the  Classical 
Course.  Those  students  already  pursuing  the  Classical  Course, 
those  who  may  enter  the  Junior  Class,  will  be  allowed  to  complete' 
course  and  thereby  receive  the  degree  of  B.A. 

The  Scientific  Course  is  designed  for  those  who  desire  to  secure   m, 
advantages  of  a  general  liberal  education,  with  the  opportunity  of  special 
izmg  m  some  line  of  modern  science— chemistry,  zoology,  botany,  vege- 
table pathology,    entomology,    veterinary     science,    civil      engineering 

I  or  political  science.  The  basis  of  the  course  is  a  thorough  training  in 
mathematics,  English,  and  the  principles  of  citizenship  and  government 
Owing  to  the  number  of  departments   represented   in   this   course,  it  is 

I  found  necessary  to  begin  differentiation  with  a  view  to  specialization  in 
the  Sophomore  year.  In  the  Senior  year,  as  will  be  seen  in  the  detailed 
outline  of  the  course  on  another  page,  the  work  is  arranged  in  a  series  of 
groups  and  studies,  each  group  containing  one  major  study  and  several 
minors.  This  is  the  plan  adopted  by  most  of  the  prominent  and  success- 
tul  colleges  of  the  present  day,  and  presents  the  twofold  advantage  of 
concentration  of  the  student's  labor  and  opportunity  for  ample  laboratory 
work.  The  degree  conferred  for  all  branches  of  this  course  is  Bachelor 
or  bcience. 

The  following  tables  will  serve  to  illustrate  in  a  succinct  manner  the 
subjects  offered  in  each  item  of  every  session,  with  the  number  of  periods 
allotted  to  each.  The  subjects  for  the  Senior  year  are  not  tabulated  for 
the  Agricultural  and  General  Science  Courses,  as  they  are  mostly  elective 
Numerals  m  parenthesis  indicate  practical  work.  Two  periods  of  prac- 
tical work  are  regarded  as  equivalent  to  one  period  of  recitative  work,  the 
Cnllege  day  being  divided  into  eight  periods  of  recitative  or  clsas  work  of 
lorry.five  minutes  each.

SHORT  WINTER  COURSE  IN  AGRICULTURE. 

Commencing  January  Jf,  1906 . 

A  ten- week  course  designed  for  those  who  are  unable  to  take  one  of 
the  longer  courses,  and  including  the  largest  amount  of  purely  practical 
information  about  farming  in  all  its  phases.  This  course  is  invaluable  to 
the  young  man  desiring  that  information  on  agricultural  topics  so  neces- 
sary to  meet  the  sharp  competition  of  the  present  day.  The  College 
authorities  have  removed  the  nominal  charge  of  .$5.00.  We  are  anxious 
to  have  the  young  men  of  Maryland,  Avho  intend  to  remain  on  the  farm, 
embrace  this  opportunity.  Many  cannot  afford  a  four-year  coui'se.  This 
solves  the  }»rul'!fni  for  them.  . 

Outline  of  the  Course. 

']  he  work  of  the  course  consists  of  lectures  and  practical  exercises  in 
the  laboratories,  shops,  greenhouses,  barns  and  creamery.  The  subjects 
handled  and  the  allotment  of  hours  are  as  follows:  Farm  crops  and  culti- 
vation of  the  soil,  IC;  plant  production,  10;  farm  live  stock,  20;  tobacco,

GENERAL  INFORHATION. 
Requirements  for  Admission. 

For  Admission  to  the  College  Department  Freshman  Class,  an  en- 
trance examination  is  required.  This  examination  will  be  held  at  the 
College  on  September  13th  and  J  4th,  1904.  The  applicant  will  be  ex- 
pected to  pass  a  satisfactory  examination  in  the  following  subjects :  Eng- 
lish grammar,  composition  and  analysis.  United. States  history,  arithmetic 
complete,  algebra,  as  far  as  quadratics,  political  and  phyiscal  geography. 
A  mark  of  seventy  per  cent,  is  necessary  to  pass.  For  entrance  to  the 
Preparatory  Department  the  requirements  are:  English  grammar,  arith 
metic,  as  far  as  percentage,  United  States  history  and  political  geography. 

Applicants  for  admission  to  higher  classes  than  the  Freshman  must 
be  prepared  to  take  an  examination  equivalent  to  that  given  at  the  College 
for  promotion  to  such  classes,  or  must  present  certificate  from  county  or 
citv  schools  covering  the  work  of  the  lower  College  classes  as  hereinbefore 
stated.  Experience  has  proven  that  it  is  almost  impossible  for  a  new  stu- 
dent to  succeed  in  the  work  of  the  mechanical  course  as  a  Sophomore;  and 
such  assignment  will  be  made  only  upon  the  candidate  presenting  satis- 
factory evidence  of  proficiency  in  drawing  and  wood  work. 

Everv  applicant  for  admission  to  the  college  must  bring  satisfactory 
testimonials  as  to  his  character  and  scholarship  from  his  former  teacher. 
This  will  be  absolutely  insisted  upon^  No  student  7ieed  apply  for  en- 
trance who  cannot  furnish  such  credentials' 

Students  from  newly  acquired  territory  or  any  foreign  country 
must  have  a  guardian  appointed  with  parental  powers,  with  whom  the 
President  can  deal  in  any  case  of  emergency.  Students  who  cannot 
speak  English  are  undesirable,  and  are  advised  that  satisfactory  progress 
at  this  College  on  their  part  cannot  be  expected  until  they  have  familiar- 
ized themselves  partly,  at  least,  with  the  English  language.    ,  .  .  ,;  S^ .  . 

Examinations  and  Promotions. 

In  order  to  pass  from  one  class  to  the  next  higher  class  a  student  is 
reduired  to  pass  an  examination  in  each  study  pursued  by  a  mark  of  at 
least  sixtv  per  cent,  and  to  have  a  combined  mark  in  each  branch  (daily 
and  examination)  of  at  least  seventy  per  cent.  A  failure  m  not  more 
than  one  branch  will  enable  a  student  to  pass  to  the  next  class  with  con- 
dition  in  that  study  in  which  he  has  failed;  but  in  every  case  the  student 
is  required  to  make  good  such  failure  during  the  next  year.  However, 
no  student  in  the  Mechanical  or  Civil  Engineering  Courses  will  be  pro^ 
moted  to  the  Junior  Class,  who  is  deficient  in   Sophomore   Mathematics.

Scfiolarships.  '        -. 

The  College  offers  a  number  of  scholarships — four  for  Baltimore  City, 
and  one  for  each  county  of  the  State.  These  scholarships  are  awarded  to 
the  successful  candidate  in  competitive  examinations,  conducted  by  the 
Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  of  Baltimore  City,  and  in  the  coun- 
ties by  the  County  Examiner.  All  scholarship  students  must  be  prepared 
for  entrance  to  the  Freshman  Class,  and  are  required  to  take  the  regular 
entrance  examination.  Each  scholarship  is  good  for  four  years,  or  for 
>;uch  part  thereof  as  the  holder  remains  at  the  College.  It  is  then  again 
open  for  competition.  The  cost  per  year  for  scholarship  students  will  be 
found  under  the  head  of  "Student  Expenses."  The  following  is  an  ex- 
tract from  the  requirements  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  relating  to  scholar- 
ships : 

"Persons  holding  certificates  of  scholarship  must  present  themselves 
at  the  College,  or  other  designated  place,  at  the  date  which  may  be  named, 
in  the  September  or  January  next  following  the  award,  and  be  examined 
by  College  authorities  for  entrance  to  the  Freshman  Class.  Alternates 
iire  to  be  thus  examined,  as  Avell  as  principals  and  in  case  of  a  failure  of 
the  principal  to  secure  or  hold  the  scholarship, .  the  alternate  will  have  the 
first  right  to  the  place,  if  Avithin  a  year  from  date  of  the  certificate  «(f 
award. 

"Persons  holding  certificates  of  scholarship  must,  in  order  to  secure 
the  same,  pass  the  entrance  examination  of  the  College,  and  (if  entering 
in  January)  such  other  examination  as  may  be  required  to  join  the 
Freshman  ClasS'  To  hold  a  scholarship,  the  student  must  make  all 
payments  promptly  and  meet  such  requirements  of  the  College  as  to 
scholarship  a?id  deportment  as  may  be  prescribed  by  the  President  afid 
Faculty'  By  passing  special  examinations,  candidates  for  scholarship 
may  be  permitted  to  enter  the  Sophomore  Class,  or  by  presenting  satis- 
factory certificates'^'' 

Experiment  Station  Scholarships  and  Fellowships, 

In  order  to  further  investigations  relating  to  agriculture  or  horti- 
culture the  Experiment  Station  has  arranged  to  offer  scholarships  not  ex- 
ceeding one  hundred  dollars  in  amount  to  students  pursuing  such  inves- 
tigations. Those  competing  for  scholarships  shall  commence  their  inves- 
tigations not  later  than  the  second  term  of  the  Junior  year,  the  awards  of 
scholarship  to  be  paid  on  satisfactory  completion  of  the  Senior  vear's 
work.  The  amount  of  such  scholarships  shall  be  determined  froni  time 
to  time  and  depend  upon  the  character  of  the  work  in  hand. 

When  investigations  begun  under  scholarships  are  not  completed,  or 
where  further  work  is  deemed  advisable,  fellowships  have  been  established 
to  be  awarded  for  such  time  and  amount  as  may  be  deemed  necessary  for 
the  completion  of  the  work,  but  will  not  exceed  three  hundred  dollars  per 
year.  Further  information  may  be  obtained  from  the  Director  of  the  Ex- 
periment Station.

General  Rules  and  Regulations. 

The  attention  of  parents  is  earnestly  called  to  the  following  rules  in 
force  at  this  College;  The  College  authorities  can  succeed  in  con- 
ferring the  maximum  amount  of  training  upon  the  student  only  with  and 
by  the  active  support  and  earnest  co-operation  of  the  parent.  The  Presi- 
dent of  the  College  is  always  ready  and  willing  to  discuss  any  failures  of  a 
student's  record  with  his  parent  or  guardian,  and  correspondence  on  this 
subject  is  always  welcome. 

Three  reports  are  sent  to  parents  during  the  year,  showing  the 
student's  progress  in  class  work,  and  his  general  standing,  as  to  conduct, 
etc.     At  the  end  of  the  year  a  detailed  report  of  the  year's  work  is  made. 

No  student  will  be  accepted  as  a  matriculate  until  the  contract  card 
containing  the  following  agreement  for  matriculation  is  signed  by  parent 
or  guardian  and  received  by  the  President  of  the  College: 

"  "It  is  understood  that  the  President  of  the  College  as  the  executive 
of  the  same,  and  acting  for  the  Board  of  Trustees,  a  party  to  this  contract, 
has  the  right  to  ask  the  withdrawal  of  a  student  at  any  time,  when  i7i 
his  judgment  such  ivithdrawal  may  be  necessary  either  for  the  interest 
of  the  young  man  or  the  institution  which  he  attends-  It  is  further 
ujider stood  that  a  pareyit  or  guardia?i  can  at  afiy  time  withdraw  his  son 
or  ward,  subject  to  regulations  herein  set  forth-''^ 

A  cadet  manifesting  an  indifference  to  the  observance  of  the  rules  and 
regulations  of  the  institution  or  wanting  in  proper  attention  to  the  prepa- 
ration of  his  work,  will  be  cautioned  to  improve  in  these  particulars. 
Failing  to  do  so  his  parents  upon  notice  given  by  the  President  must  with- 
draw their  son.  - 

A  special  pledge  to  refrain  from  Avhat  is  popularly  known  as  "haz- 
ing," and  from  taking  unfair  means  in  examinations  is  required  of  every 
applicant  for  entrance,  before  he  will  be  allowed  to  matriculate.  Parents 
should  impress  upon  their  sons  that  failure  to  not  live  up  to  this  pledge  is 
a  dishonor  which  unfits  them  to  be  longer  inmates  of  the  College.  ^^Haz  - 
ing''"'  is  invariably  puiiished  by  instant  dismissal, 

Fr  e  a  7ient  absences  from  the  College  are  invariably  of  great  disad- 
vantage to  the  st7ide7it,  in  breaki?ig  in  upon  the  continuity  of  his  wot  k, 
o7id  in  distracting  his  mind  from,  the  main  purpose  of  his  atteridatice  at 
the  institution-  Parents  are  therefore  earnestly  asked  to  refrain  from 
granting  freQue7it  requests  to  leave  the  College- 

Students  will  not  be  permitted  to   leave   classes   or   quarters    during 
study  hours  to  answer  telephone  calls,  unless  they  are  urgent. 
;^^Students  will  not  be  permitted  to  make  contracts  or  to  sell  any  article 
to  their  associates  without  the  approval  of  the  President, 
^'•^rhe  sale  of  second  hand  furniture  or  clothing  to   new   cadets  is  pro- 
hibited unless  the  sale  be  approved  by  the  commandant  of  cadets.

"Depaitment  of  Agriculture,  Washington.  D.  C. 

•'June  27.  ]899. 

"Dear  Sir — In  my  annual  report  to  the  President  for  1898  I  announcpd 
my  intention  of  affording  opportunities  for  graduates  of  agricultural  colleges 
to  pursue  post  graduate  studies  in  connection  with  work  in  the  scientific  division 
of  this  Department,  as  far  as  practicable.  In  pursuance  of  this  policy  I  have 
made  an  arrangement  with  the  Civil  Service  Commission  for  the  registration 
of  the  graduates  of  colleges  receiving  the  benefits  of  grants  of  land  or  money 
from  the  United  States,  who  may  desire  to  enter  the^service  of  the  Department 
as  'Scientific  Aids,'  on  the  terms  stated  in  the  notice  of  the  Commission  here- 
with enclosed. 

"It  seems  to  be  entirely  appropriate  that  the  National  Government  should 
aid  the  institutions  to  which  it  has  already  so  largely  given  financial  support 
in  the  preparation  of  their  graduates  for  posts  of  usefulness  in  this  Depart- 
ment, or  in  the  States  from  which  they  come,  especially  as  investigators  and 
teachers  along  scientific  lines.  I  hope  therefore  that  the  effort  which  I  am  now 
making  in  this  direction  will  be  but  the  beginning  of  the  opening  up  of  op- 
portunities for  graduate  Study  at  the  National  Capital  to  those  of  your  grad- 
uates who  are  especially  fitted  to  do  high  grade  scientific  work-  It  will,  of 
course,  be  understood  that  under  present  conditions  the  Department  can  only 
admit  u  verv  limited  number  of  scientific  aids  Our  purpose  is  to  choose 
from  the  eligible  register  those  persons  who  furnisli  the  best  evidence  of  hav- 
ing peculiarly  good  qualifications  for  aiding  in  the  work  of  the  Department 
now  in  progress. 

"In  extending  this  notice  will  you  kindly  explain  to  your  graduates  the 
necessity  of  making  a  clear  and  full  statement  of  their  attainments  and  qual- 
ifications in  -jpecial  lines  of  science?  Correspondence  regarding  application 
blanks  aud  other  matters  connected  with  registration  should  be  had  promptly 
-with  the  Civil  Service  Commission.    .         "Very  respectfully,

..,     .    ,  STUDENT  ORGANIZATIONS. 

Students  clubs  for  religious,  social,  literary  and  athletic  purposes  are 
encouraged  as  a  means  of  creating  class  and  College  pride  and  developing 
'in  esprit  de  corps  among  the  students.  Each  class  has  its  own  organiza- 
tion in  which  matters  relating  to  class  work  are  discussed  and  directed. 
Officers  are  elected  and  the  unity  of  the  class  preserved.  This  has  been 
found  to  be  a  decided  aid  to  discipline,  and  tends  to  raise  the  standard  of 
student  honor.

THE  ALUriNI  ASSOCIATION. 

The  growth  of  the  Alumni  Association  during  the  past  year  is  a  sourcs^ 
of  great  satisfaction  to  the  officers  of  the  College,  and  of  the  Association. 
Through  the  efforts  of  its  officers  a  smoker  was  held  at  the  College  in 
June,  this  year.  Eenewed  interest  was  shown  by  the  existing  members 
of  the  Association,  and  the  occasion  was  marked  by  a  large  increase  in  the 
membership. 

All  indications  point  to  a  great  advance  in  the  growth  of  the  organi- 
zation, and  now  it  is  felt  that  the  Association  may  begin  to  exercise  its  in- 
fluence along  the  lines  of  its  avowed  purpose  and  object.  By  restricting 
the  competition  for  the  medal  to  be  awarded  by  the  Association  for  the 
best  paper  on  "Agricultural  Science"  to  those  students  jDursuing  original 
research,  it  is  intended  and  hoped  by  the  Association,  to  stimulate 
scientific  investigation  by  the  students  in  the  various  scientific  departments 
of  the  College.  With  the  improved  and  more  adequate  facilities  which 
have  been  provided,  it  is  thought  that  the  College  is  well  able  to  promote 
this  class  of  work  to  a  greater  extent  than  has  been  possible  in  the  past; 
and  the  competition  hereby  instituted  should  tend  to  elevate  the  standard 
of  scholarship  in  the  College. 

The  officers  of  the  Association  for  the  year  are :  President,  S.  S.  Buck- 
ley,  '93;  Vice-President,  W.  S.  Keech,  '90;  Secretary- Treasurer  M.  N. 
Struughn,  '99;  Executive  Committee,  members  at  large,  F.  B.  Bomberger, 
'94;  and  W\  W.  Skinner,  '95. 

Graduates  and  members  of  the  Association  are  requested  to  keep  the 
Secretary. Treasurer,  M.  N.  Straughu,  College  Park,  Md.,  informed  of  any 
changes  in  their  addresses.  Any  information  concerning  the  older  grad- 
uates which  will  enable  the  officers  to  locate  and  communicate  with  them, 
will  facilitate  their  efforts  and  will  tend  to  further  the  success  of  the  As- 
sociation. ...
