Maryland Agricultural College.

Maryland Agricultural College.
There is no State institution in which
the farmers of Maryland take deeper
interest than the Agricultural College,
and it is source OF no little qualification
to them, that the outlook for the college
is as encouraging as it is at this time.
Notwithstanding that the attendance
last session was nearly double as great
as for several years past, the indications
now are, that the number of students
during the coming session of 1884 will
be greatly in excess of last year. OF
even greater Importance than increase
in numbers was the excellent moral
tone which pervaded the student body
and was as marked in it's way, as was
the numerical increase. Since last year
many improvements have been made in
the college buildings with view to pro-
noting the comfort, welfare and safety
of the students.
The officials of the college are deter
mined that it shall stand in the front
rank of agricultural colleges and are
spariDg no pains to accomplish that
result While they recognize fully that
as an agricultural college its first duty is
instruction in agriculture and related
subjects and to subordinate all things to
that end, they believe that the useful
| ness Of the institution can he greatly
increased by not making it too technical.
They have therefore arranged four
courses anyone of which may be selected
by student on matriculatlon. These
courses are known as the agricultural
mechanical, scientific and classical and
are very thorough and complete. The
first three embrace large proportion Of
practical work.
Owing to aid received from the State
and general governments the college il
enabled to offer first GLASS education al
an extremely low cost as will be seen BY
reference to the advertisement in anothe,
column of this paper.
