Note--From the annual catalogues Of
the various colleges, the course of tut
ton, as outlined, shows that the New
Mexico college is one year higher than
Kansas, considerably better than Colo
RADIO, two years ahead of Texas and
better than Iowa.
AN opinion seems to have
existed in certain places as to the
measure Of standing of a college. It
seems fair to state that the standing of
a college will depend on three things:
LIST, the requirements for admission in
to it's Freshman class; I'd. the require
ments for graduation; Sd, the rightly
with which these requirements are en-
forced. 1t seems almost unnecessary to
say that the school or college that re-
quires the most preparation for admis-
sion into its freshman class will be the
one that will accomplish the most good
for the students who take the complete
course. The work in the preparatory
department is the training necessary to
qualify them for successful work in the
higher departments. Proceeding on this
theory, the college does preparatory
work, and confidently submits Its

must be used for paying the necessary
expenses of conducting Investigations
and experiments, and printing and dis
tributing the results" Bulletins show
ing progress must be printed each quar-
ter and sent to each newspaper in the
territory and to all farmers who apply
for them. The Morrill, fund was created
for the more complete endowment and
support of the colleges of agriculture
and mechanic arts. 1t is sent to them
before July 81 of each year. The col
lege received this fund first in 1890, to
the amount Of SIS, 1000. Next year the fund
will reach the sum Of $25, 1000, at which
sum it will remain. The fund a be APP
piled only to instruction in agriculture,
the mechanic arts, the English language
and the various branches of mathemat-
ical, physical. natural and economic
science, with special reference to their
application in the industries Of life, and
to the facilities for such instruction"
No part of the fund can be used for
building purposes.

claims to the good people of New Mex
leo.
"As to the personnel of the members
of the faculty, l may say that the lead
ing colleges and universities of the
country are represented. Almost every
professor is a specialist in his line,
broad in his views. liberal in his opin-
ons and competent to do the work as
signed to him
The courses of study are so arranged
that a good general education must be
acquired before the student is permit
ted to specialize. In furtherance of thai
idea, the agricultural course, mechani-
cal engineering, civil engineering and
scientific course are all practically the
same until the sophomore year has been
passed. After hat the differentiation
il the courses begins. This, too, is in
keeping with the central thought thai
education means the complete develop
n~ection, it may be we'll to note, that,
while giving great attention to the mem
tai development of h students, the
moral and physical sides are not neg
lected. In carrying out the discipline of
the institution, the better side of the
students natures are appealed to con-
stantly. A high standard of manhood
and womanhood is held up to the stu
dents and the administration of disci-
pine is thus made a grand moral agen-
cy. Athletic sports are encouraged just
SO far as they do not interfere with the
proper studies"
THE COLLEGE BUILDINGS.
The main building Of the college,
which was erected in 1890, is SIS by ITO
feet in dimension. The first floor con-
tains four rooms, which are devoted to
the sub-freshman department. On the
second floor are located the presidents
office, clerks office, lecture room for

ENGINEERING BUILDING.
This structure occupies rs by 120 feet
of space and contains the physics room,
room for theoretic mechanics, free hand
and mechanical drawing and mechani-
cal engineering.
In the department of practical me-
chanics, the machinery consists of a
30-horse power Weston engine, suction
belt, a full electric plant, including a
large dynamo for lighting the buildings
of the college, a large iron planer, two
iron turning lathes, electric motor, m
cry wheel, grindstone, drill press and a
complete network Of pulleys and shaft
ing. Like the many departments for
other portions of the college work, the
engineering rooms contain complete Ii
braries of reference books for the diff
ferent branches. The machinery is of
the very latest pattern and best make,
and is used for practical purposes as
we'll as instruction, thus enabling the
student to see the full benefits of the
working machinery placed in practical
Usage. The boiler room contains two
6O-horse power boilers. The wood work.
ing room has seven wood turning lathes,
a circular saw, a scroll saw, planer,
complete work-benches, etc. Each stu
dent has a separate locker for his tools.
Some of the wood work turned out by
the students is exceptionally good. The
old mechanical building, which is now
being used as a store room for supplies.
will be changed to a foundry. Through
out the engineering building are hung
appropriate signs, like: Attempt not.
Or Accomplish" Labor Will Accom-
plish All Things" etc.
The blacksmith shop has ten FORCES
in operation which are run by a blower
that furnishes the draft and carries the
smoke away under the building.

terror furnishings and arrangements
are homelike and cheerful. Every mod
ern convenience has been added to the
equipment of the building. Here recep-
tions and dances are given under the
chaperonage of Miss Ida Freeman. ma

the social enjoyment of the lazy stu
dents.
LOCATION.
The college is provided with water
from wells. The grounds are located
tNo miles south from Las Cruces and
the college controls 200 acres. The
grounds are in excellent condition and
the site is beautiful. A splendid drive
way connects the agricultural farm
with the college grounds.
THE FACULTY.
The college faculty consists of the
following gentlemen: Cornelius J. Jor-
dan, A. NJ, president and professor of
political science; Clarence T. Hagerty,
M. S., professor of chemistry; Charles
A. Keffer, professor of agriculture and
horticulture; Frank W. Brady, M. E.,
professor of mechanical and civil en-
gineering; Ida M. Jones, professor of
Spanish; T. D. A. Cockerell, professor
of entomology and in charge Of physi-
ology and zoology; Hiram Hadley, A.
M, professor of history and pedagogy;
Elmer o. Wooten, A. M, professor of
English and Latin; Ralph Roy Larkin,
B. S., principal Of the preparatory de-
partment and in charge of the sub
freshman class.
Charles A.. Keffer, who will occupy
the chair of agriculture and horticul-
ture, is a new acquisition to the insti-
tuition. He has been first assistant in
the forestry division of the department
of agriculture in Washington, D. c.,

characters and things that go to create
and conduct a great Industrial and man.
ufacturing territory backed by diversi-
fed husbandry and natural products Of
the soil, are the results of the Agri-
cultural College.
A great many students from Old Mex
leo attend this college and the benefits
Of educations in an American institu-
ton will in time be felt in all matters
Of national import affecting the two
countries and the Central American
states, for the natural results Of imbib-
ing American ideas will be to give a
wholesome regard for American ability
and make matters run smoothly in
trade relations.
One of the crying needs of the college
is a preparatory school. At present
there is no school in the territory Of suf-
hcient graduation to prepare scholars for
this institution. The board Of regents
believe that the proper method of con-

the department of mathematics, room
for the department Of srenography and
the general library. The third story
contains the assembly hall and rooms
for elocution, English lecture, lecture
room for history and pedagogy, and
lecture room for Spanish.
The clerks Office is splendidly
equipped, the long counter, safe, click
ing typewriters and appurtenances for
business transactions, giving the place
the appearance of a banking house.
Each department contains a special
library devoted to the work and the stu
dent has access to these libraries.
The instruments for the work dealing
with irrigation, mining, civil engineer
inc, etc., are the very best that money
can procure.
The general library, which is also
used as a study room for students, con-
tains nearly all the standard periodi-
Gals, which embrace rural and educa-
tional work. Three thousand, five hum
dred volumes are now on the shelves of
the library and the collection Is being
constantly added to.
McFie hall, which vas named in
honor of Judge j.. r. McFie, formerly a
member of the board Of regents Of the
college, is a fine, large theatrical ap-
pearing place and has a splendid stage.
The room is used principally as a gym
nasium by the ladies who attend the
college.
The preparatory department, which
occupies the first floor, is divided into
three rooms, m for Spanish students
entirely, another for a mixed class and
the third as a large class room for the
sub-graduating class. The preparatory
students range from u to IS years in
age and the studies embrace n year
of physics, one year of botany and one
year of algebra, before being granted
admission to the college.

The New Mexico College of Agricul-

silla park, in Dona Ana county, is one of
the grandest educational institutions in
the west. A newspaper article can con-
Ney but a vague idea of the Importance
and magnitude of the institution, blu it
may have the effect of calling attention
to the perfection of the system adopted
and the bearing of the college on the
future of the sparsely settled southwest.
