President Patterson's Annual Address.
The annual address Of President Patter-
son occupied the entire time of the dele
gates during the evening session OF the AS
ISOLATION. Mr.. Patterson reviewed briefly
the history Of agricultural colleges and the
study of. the natural sciences and their
effect on the life Of the nation.

mere wealth to differentiate them from the
masses. The Washingtons and Jeffersons
OF colonial times were proud of their titles,
deeds and genealogies and descent. What
Is called the modern craze for genea1ogy is
an effort to discover or to make a place in
the annals Of recorded or unrecorded gem
tility.
