Then she sighed and said no more.

life and a scientific knowledge which will
enable agriculture to be elevated practl-
cally to the plane of profession. The
simple life must reach its highest devel-
opment in those who follow agricultural
pursuits Everywhere today there IS an
appreciation Of the fact that the farmer
is the bone and sinew OF the land.
with the elevation OF agricultural
standards and with the keen develop
ment Of scientific methods in farming
there must necessarily come a betterment
in the standards of rural life and a
higher material reward for those who
engage in IL.
The exercises marked the closing of
the tifty-third year of the college.

der his control had been designated

ton carried with IL the right of the
