/ the State " ange, IN the hsscuioly
Chamber Evidently it was very
interesting session to those partlci-
pating. The Master in his annual
address took strong ground in favor
Of complete separation Of the az
ricultural college from the State Uni
versity. He closed on this topic by
saying:
"Iet the farmers Of Wisconsin
petition our legislature to cut our
Agricultural school loose from the
university, and take up the little
dwarfrd institution, carry it out, and
plant it in AN agricultural district,
and nurse it with few remaining
dollars that are left, and see if Pro-
lesser Henry can make anything out
of it So that our children can secure
some of the benefits that congress
desired they should have. speak
plainly in regard to this matter, for
| feel that we have sat quietly by
and allowed other professions to do
our work long enough. 1t is time
YOU come up to the front where you
belong. You have taken back seats
long enough"

manifested their approval Of the
Masters views by adopting before

tons:
