Agricultural College Graduates.

One of the most eloquent and in
teresting of the triennial alumni ora
tons of our Agricultural college, was
that given by Geo. A. Farr, in 1873,
in which the speaker showed that
even in the interest of agriculture it
was not desirable that all of the grad
yates should become tillers Of the
soil. The tastes, inclination, and
aptitude of many would demand, on
the part of wisdom, that they engage
in other pursuits. More than one
half the graduates have actually be-
come directly engaged In the line of
work specially called to their attention
