The Connecticut Agricultural college
at Storrs was visited by the Connecticut
Editorial association last Monday for the
spring meeting of the association by invi-
tation of Acting President Rufus w.
Stimson. The members who attended
were met at the Willimantic station after
the arrival of the morning trains by Act
ing President Stimson and conveyed by
team to Storrs, distance of about eight
miles, and very enjoyable ride at this
time of the year. The driver of one of
the teams, not knowing the road, carrie
his party some distance out of the way,
and arrived at the college a short time
after the other teams, but the occupants
did not mind the extra ride. The party
arrived In time to see a part of the drill
by the college. Shortly after the arrival
dinner was announced, which, by request
of the visitors, was the same fare regu
| larly served to the students, and was
good enough for any one. After dinner
the regular business meeting of the edito
rial association was held, and was brew
ated In order to give as much time as
possible to an inspection of the college il
| all its branches. After Acting President
Simpson had addressed the visitors, Civ
ing brief outline of the aims and work
ings Of the college, he conducted them
| about the grounds and through the build
ings, each department being explained by
the instructor of that department. Every
thing was found to be in excellent condi-
ton; a new cold storage plant is being
installed, and the college Is we'll equipped.
There are twenty instructors, and it is
unfortunate that larger number of stu
dents are not availing themselves of the
privileges there. The college received a
severe blow by the recent trouble, which
resulted In the retirement of President
Flint, but Is recovering itself, the
entering class this year numbering
Twenty-Five, the largest in the history of
the institution. At present there are
only fifty-two students. If the advanta-
ges of the practical and scientific educa-
tion to be derived there were we'll known
to all the citizens of the state the college
would be taxed to its utmost. Visitors
are welcome to investigate the work and
progress of the college at any time, and
this is the best way to become acquainted
with the institution in all its branches.
Acting President Simpson seems to be the
right man in the right place, and is doing
all in his power to advance the interests
of the college. There is no charge for
tuition and room rent, and board and
school supplies are furnished at cost
There Is chance for limited number of
students to pay the entire expense by do
ing extra work. The amount required
for years schooling runs from 1925 to
5000, the average being about 1856.
While the large number of those who
enter intend to become expert farmers,
mechanics, and tradesmen, many become
civil engineers, teachers, bookkeepers,
etc. There are accommodations for over
one hundred students. The visitors pres
