Graduates.

An institution Is known by Its grad uates, and the high position taken by the Auburn graduates in the various pursuits of life seems to ju''tify fully the policy pursued by .nfs institution. As stated, there are nearly 800 fuil graduates, and of these 65 per cent. go into strictly technical professions, while the 5000 who have not compieteo their college courses have returned 10 the life on the farm or maybe to the various professions touched with the spirit of scientific education. and train- ed in the accurate methods and pro- cesses of carpentry forge and foundry work. machine shop, drawing. the nat ural sciences. etc. In estimating the influence of technical colleges. one must not omit this vast army of youth who have been carried in part through this modern industrial training. The graduates of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute are scattered throughout the length and breadth of Alabama, ana. indeed. throughout the South. as civn engineers, electrical engineers, mes chanical engineers. mining engineers

yard growing, grating truck farming, dairying. etc. The high order of work done by the staff of this department has been of vast service to the far mers of Alabama and has given the in- stitution a high rank in official cir cles. The station bulletins are highly esteemed both by practical and scien- tific men. Number of students in ag- ricuiture, 125.
 second-The department of botany Is supplied with an excellently appointed laboratory provided with microscopes. work tables. photographic apparatus and other modern appliances. Expe- riments are also conducted in grass culture, and other valuable lines of re- search. full course of study is of- fered. Number of students. sixty three.
 Third-The institution boasts the first biological laboratory worthy the name established in the South. It is com plete in all its appointments. It Is notable fact that the -four professors have been invited to similar chairs in the first universities of the land, one to Cornell University, two to Columbia University and one to the University of Missouri.
 The department of veterinary surg cry is one of the most practical and widely and favorably known in the col lege It is housed in an excellent building and the hospital arrangements are up to date.

Purposes and Standard,

The original Federal act of 1862 do- hating the lands to the several col leges set forth the purposes of the col lege to be for the endowment, SUD- port and maintenance of at least one college, where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical subjects, and including military tactics. to teach such branches Of learning as are related to agricul- ture and the mechanical arts" This Is broad charter for a great school of science, and this charter the trustees of Auburn have kept steadily in view.
 While distinctly emphasizing the sci- ences and the practical industrial side of education. the college has proceeded wisely, continuously, and therefore suc- cessfully. The laboratories are exten- sive and highly equipped No school in the South has better departments: .the facilities and appliances of these Laboratories (engines, dynamos. appa- ratus. etc.), being rated at about $90,- 900. The laboratory method of instruc- tion prevails In every department of practical work, and the instruction ia under the supervision Of an expert. Yet, while this Is all true, the insti- tute has never lost sight of the fact that 1t is a college; that is an estab- lishment for higher education. It has not been a mere trade school: 1t has not been content to teach only the rule of-thumb method of doing work It has aimed at giving its students a broad foundation of education, a knowl- edge of the principles, the why as well as the how of the natural sciences and the industrial arts. It has sought to turn out captains of industry, who can lead and plan and exploit the resources of the State, rather than wage earners. or mere artisans. who though ever so skillful and ever so laudable, are not the leaders and promoters of great in- dustrial undertakings. Neither has the college ignored the value of those long,

HIGH AND HEALTHY.

The college at Auburn Is now in its thirty-third year. being established in 1872. It has over 500 graduates. and over 6,0oo students have attended. its courses of instruction. There are now 4S7 students enrolled. There are ff- teen laboratories and workshops.
 Seven regular courses are offered in CD Civil Engineering. CD Electrical engineering and Mechanical engineer ing, (3) Mining engineering, (4) Metal lurgy, (5) Chemistry and agriculture, (6) Pharmacy, CD Latin and modern languages
 From It's foundation the institution has increased in patronage, expanded in departments, and strengthened in equipment, until 1t stands today among the leading colleges of applied science in the United States.

Military Life.

Great interest centers at Auburn in military life, and the college has req son to be proud of the brave careers of its graduates in the Philippines. During the Spanish American war the college of Auburn furnished thirty-six commissioned officers to the army. It ranked second in this particular among all the colleges in the United States. being surpassed only by Cornell Uni- versity. There arc about fifteen of these officers retained in the regular service,

For the last several years the at- tendance has averaged 440 students the enrolment for 1903-1904 being 4S0 stu dents. representing fifty-four counties in Alabama, ten States and three for eign countries-Cuba, Nicaragua, Hon. duras.
 The faculty consists of seventeen full professors. two assistant profes- sors and fifteen instructors and assist ants. Roundly, the increase in pat ronage has been about 230 per cent, the increase in faculty and experiment station staff about 240 per cent. This is a showing of which the State may be proud.

CREW FOR PRINCETON

Construction of Artificial Lake
Near the Institution Is
Under Way.
TO ENGAGE IN REGATTAS

PRINCETON, Feb. 6.-Princeton will
have a varsity crew as soon as the recent
magnificent gift of Andrew Carnegie TO the
university has been completed. An i'm
mense artificial lake will afford the Prince
ton enthusiasts the chance for which they
have been waiting, and there Will thus be
opportunity for practice without going far
from the campus.
The lake will be made by damming Stony
brook small stream which runs through
a valley about q mile and n half below the
campus The university proper is on high
hill. and about three miles away is another
hill of about equal height. Between these
is a valley in which flows the small stream
This will be blocked and the water collect
ing will form a great lake, three miles long
and about one and a half miles wide The
dam will be about thirty feet nigh, and Of
tremendous strength. 1t will be built
about two and half miles below Prince
ton, at Kingston.
Surveyors have been steadily at work for
the last two months. and all the neces-
sa,y preparations have been completed.
Nearly 100000 has been expended already
on the purchase of the land over which
the lake will flow. and almost all of 1t has
been procured by the university work Will
be started shortly, and in the course OF a
couple of years the lake will be made
The value of this gift to Princeton
athletics can hardly be estimated For
years Princeton has been handicapped
by the fact that there was no body Of
water near large enough for the practice

the barges and SOULS will be speeding
