 may work out to success an intricate problem, next door to man who may admire the undertaking and yet be ignorant of the forces which conceived it. There Is hardly throughout Ala bama a farming community which has not at one time or another had some sort of line of communlcation with the Institute. There be but few post masters in Alabama, if any, who can say that they have never handed out to some of their rural patrons. bulle- tins from Auburn which tell of scien- tific and educated farming. There may be some farmers in the State. but they are few, who have not had, if they de- sired It, an opportunity or aLtenulHB some one of the scores of institutes that members of the faculty have held in every Alabama section and at which the many-sided questions which face and vex farmers and cattle-rafsers are discussed by men who have made the study of those same questions life work.
 There Is hardly a city or town from the Chattahoochee to the Mississippi line which has not within its borders some graduate or ex-spudent, who, un- known to his neighbors, and uncon- scious 1t may be to himself is living out the colleges influence and teach ing some sort of lesson. It may be that the Auburn man has the farm as the theatre of his activity and that his farm is a thing of interest and of com ment to his neighbors because of his love of fine stock and his success in acquiring specimens. or it may be that some novelty, some new plan in the preparation of the soil in the cultiva- tion of the crop, call forth admiration or imitation.
 The Colleges Influence.
 Again, the quiet country town, the rural community may catch some glimpse of the Statewide work of the in nstitution through a sub-experiment station established there by the col lege to investigate and test the nature of the soils of that section. It may be that the farmers in some remote com munities become acquainted with the endeavors of the college through the visit of some member of its working

IF freshmen and ffty-five specials. The attendance has increased over 100 Cor 25 per cent) in the last three years and about 50 per cent in the last de- cade. The faculty and officers number eighteen full professors and twenty one officers and instructors. The large classes are subdivided into sections and individual instruction Is given. According to the original Federal act fined ns being as follows: .without excluding other scientific and Slassf- cal subjects. and including military tactics. to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts" In a word. the college gives a vwo-fold education. a theoretical or scientific side, and practical or professional side. A stu- tal subjects that are educative in their nature and are developing to the strength of the mind. and at the same time he is given a practical education prepared to do something. The labo- ratory method of instruction prevails in every department of practical work. It is used to supplement- not tss,sn,app, to sup, or mental education and culture. The results of this system have been high ly gratifying. The high rank taken the various professions of life has been a sufficient proof of the sound ness of the policy of the institution.
 Seven regular courses are offered In tD civil engineering. (2) electrical and mechanical engineering, (3) mining engineering. (D metallurgy. (5) chem istry and agriculture, (6) pharmacy, CD Latin and modern languages.
 'The entire plant Is valued at about s240.000. Instruction is given in fif- teen we'll equipped laboratories, no in- struction in any science being regard ed of value without the practical ap- plications in the workshop. These lab oratories are as follows: CD civil en: gineering, (2) electrical engineering, (4) mechanical engineering, (G min ing engineering, t5) mechanic arts, (6) mechanical drawing. CD mineralogy, t8) physics, (9) pharmacy. u0) botany. GID biology. CPD chemistry, (13) vet crinary science, UD horticulture. t15) agriculture. All of these departments have proved highly successful"
 Not only is the institution devoted to educational work, but in It's exper- iment station especially 1t Is one of the most effective organizations for the material and commercial welfare of the State. The professors of the staff have been conspicuous in organizing C) the live stock interest of Alabama, (2) the cane syrup industry. t3) the fruit growing and gardening and other sections of the agricultural life of Ala bama. The farmers of the State have learned to look to the experiment sta- tion for guidance and help"

year 1872 established the great college at Auburn.
 The college is one of the many mon- uments that have been erected to the Senator Justin Morrelf. z For 1t Is to the wisdom and foresight of Senator Morrell that the United States Is in- debted for it's system of land grant and built upon immense gifts of public land by the United States to the va rious States for the erection of insti- tutes where agriculture and mechanics the classics should not be neglected Of the wisdom of this policy the Ala bama Polytechnic Institute is in itself convincing proof.
 The Morrell bill became q law in 1862. but the great War was on then. And because of that titanic struggle the agricultural and mechanical col- lege for the State of Alabama was not located until ten years later.
 Auburn was most active and ener- getic bidder for this college. The place had for years been recognized even as a small town, as a center of wealth and culture. A number of the wealthy and intelligent families had moved into the town from their coun- try homes on the East Alabama hills. drawn there by its good schools and good society.
 finally locating here was tho existence in Auburn of the East Alabama Col lege, a college owned and operated by the great Methodist denomination. It was proposed to the State that should the Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege be located at Auburn the fine col leRe building would be deeded to tho State. The proposition was accepted and a denominational school became a State institution.
 This was thirty-three years ago. The school has made marvellous prog ress. This progress is outlined in a brief statement made me by the pres ent able head of the institution. Prof. c. c. Thach. In response to a request President Thach made the following statement:
 The Presidents Review.
 "Established in 1872 the Institute has grown steadily and symmetrically. Year by year it has strengthened both in equipment and in teaching power, and increased in the number of stu dents in attendance until today its halls are filled with young men from every section of Alabama and the en- tire South. In the thirty-three years 0f its existence. 1t has had over 800 graduates and over 5000 students in attendance in its courses of instruc- ton. The attendance this year has been 515. representing twelve States. two foreign countries, and fifty-four counties of Alabama In part the clas- sification has been as follows: Thir- teen post-graduates. sixty-three se- niors. eighty juniors, l25 sophomores.
