COburn and the Agricultural College.
In regard to the differences of opin-
ion existing among regents of the
state agricultural college at Manhat-
tan as to the conduct of the school,
Secretary of Agriculture Coburn said:
MY contention is that the institution
was intended to be and should be, as
its official designation implies, an .ag-
ricultura1 college, not necessarily for
teaching agriculture alone, but being
our only school designed for any such
purpose it should especially give agri-
culture, animal husbandry, dairying,
cereal or crop improvement and
closely kindred interests an outstand
ing prominence and support, with the
various other studies well maintained
in Importance in proportion as they
are related in an institution so diffetS
ent from the ordinary. While the
present president is doubtless a
worthy young man and capable of
teaching physics or mathematics, for
which purpose he was originally hired
at Manhattan, I regard himGas in
herently unable to comprehend in any
large way the important position he
occupies, or the purposes, opportuni-
ties and possibilities of the college so
largely in his hands, and he is so re-
garded by others most widely observ-
ant in this line of educational work." I"
