Dr. lory has taken the position
that as the agricultural problems Of
the west are entirely different from
those of the east, the Colorado Agri-
cultural College cannot follow in the
track of their older agricultural in
sttutions of the east, bat mast strike
out on original limos and create it's
own idsals snd practice.
This will be good news TO the
farmers of the state and it is pre-
dicted that the new course will be
exceedingly popular and that the
number Of students at the Fort Col
Inns institution will increase rapidly

cure lust the Kind of education he
requires or can afford. The work
will be as practical as possible and
the idea will be to equi p the student
to intelligently undertake ust that
part Of every day work that he elects.
