The Successful Man

A Well-knoWn writer in speaking OF
the successful men of the large cities,
says:
Farm training means much to the
successful man, from the fact that
early life on the farm implants in
most boys the spirit of industry and
energy that is indispensable in the
struggle for supremacy in any line OF
activity in life. Together with his
physical strength and more rugged
constitution that are developed to
withstand the strain of the struggle
that is required to forge ahead
against the strong competition that
confronts the young man in any great
city early developed energy forms a
combination that is invincible.
Both brains and Drawn have ever
been products of the farm, and with
the great increase in good work that
the agricultural colleges and pubic
schools are accomplishing toward ele-
waiting the standard Of intelligence OF
the American farmer of today, there
is no fear that the farm will continue
to hold it's high position in the pro
duction of young men VINO shall
prove a credit to their home and their
nation wherever they may be found
"rhe foundation of nations pros
perity rests upon the men who com
mand the soil and feed it's people.
Unless this be wisely done the super
structure of a nations business at
fairs rests upon crumbling and I'M
reliable foundation. Agricultural col
leges of today are producing a class
of professional men whose value to
the future of this country is hardly
paralleled by that of any other pro-
fession open to the young man.
Farms have been great producers
of successful men for city life, and
hereafter they will be still greater
producers of successful men for the
more enjoyable country life than eV-
err before"
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-12-15

the name of the State Agricultural
College, its present one seeming not
at all to their liking. What to do the
readers of The Ranch think about it?
Here is what the regents say in their
report:
There is a settled conviction that
a change in the name of the college
as heretofore suggested by the Board
of Regents is of great Importance
to the welfare of the institution and,
the state. The present name is con-
stantly misleading even the intelli-
gent public. We repeat that the
FUNCTION of the college is deter
mined by Law and not by the name;
that the law has clearly and fully
defined the FUNCTION, and that this
while including and emphasizing ag-
riculture and the allied science, yet
is much broader and offers education
applicable to all the industries Of
life and to the children of the in
dustrial classes. Besides, the law
specifically declares that the design
of the institution is for technical in
struction and specifies a large num-
Der of the subjects to be taught The
Board of Regents and faculty in or
ganizing a curriculum to attain this
end must be guided by the law and
not by the name. So it happens that
the public is constantly surprised
that the work covers field which it
had not suspected. This very natural
mistake rests on our own graduates
who are prepared in other lines than
agriculture, to their own injury. 1t
is therefore strongly urged that the
name be changed to more general
and suitable one. This will in no
wise affect the function of the col
lege but will result in enlarged use
fitness and in the welfare of the
graduates of the institution.
