And so she must live from day to
day, this unfortunate one, alternately
fainting under the blistering sun of
comment and freezing in the darkness
as she sees the will-o'the.whisp Of
happiness departing from her.
In the corner Of the court Of fate
the malignant fairy sits and croons
and laughs. my dear" she says,
don't YOU know you have had your
day with Love. Henceforth you must
be satisfied with other things-work
and forget"
Each tear the woman sheds seems
to expand her wicked soul as the dia-
mond dewdrop does a flower. Each
sigh as 1t is borne to her seems bit
Of summer breeze which she must
have to live. Each look at the tortur.
ed face Is Joy to her for she knows
that when the bonds which hold her
present victim to the torture rack
becomes too heavy, when Love leaves
her and life becomes unbearable, she
will find another to take her place.

That the North Dakota Agricultural
college will offer courses very much
in line with those of previous years
featuring practical and professional
courses in agriculture and home econ
omics, with degree courses in civil and
mechanical engineering, as growing
out of agriculture and the industries
is indicated in a circular letter is
sued today by President e. F. Ladd,
to students and graduates Of the col
lege.
In this letter President Ladd seeks
to right the impression that prevails
among the people Of the state with
respect to the work the agricultural
college will conduct, and contrary to
uation, engineering will be continued.
DR.. Ladd's letter indicates that the
agricultural college work will not be
weakened. 1t follows:
Students and Graduates of the A. C..
Dear Friend:
Owing to the repeated requests from
our students for definite information
as to the future of the agricultural
college, and in order to allay the fear,
misapprehension and misinformation
SOW prevalent among the students and
friends of the A. c., feel !mpelled to
make the following statement:
No member of the state board Of
regents, member of the faculty or
friend Of the college would allow it's
future growth and development to be
harmed in any way. OF this you may
rest assured. The institutional work
will be continued in full harmony with
the spirit of the Morrill, Act, namely,
ito teach such branches Of learning as
are related to agriculture and mechan-
ic arts" These stand in the law as
separate and distinct types of educa-
ton though not necessarily independ-
ent of each other. They are co-ordi-
nate and of equal rank. Neither can
be subordinated to the other. If agri-
culture is of college rank, mechanic
arts must also be Of college rank and,
therefore, each give degrees for full
collegiate work. The work for the COM
ing school year will continue without
any changes in courses of study as in
the past and as given in the catalog
as already approved and published by
the board of regents. This should be
our best guide
AS I view the situation from infor-
nation furnished me the work of the
future for the A. c. will be as briefly
outlined:
In addition to the practical and pro-
fessional courses in agriculture and
home economics, there are to be offered
degree courses of civil and mechanical
engineering as growing out Of agri-
culture and the industries.
In civil engineering the degree course
will be offered with the emphasis on
road building, farm surveying, drain
age, sanitation, irrigation and refrig-
GRAFTON. These are all problems grow
ing out of agriculture and the indus
tries.
In mechanical engineering there will
be degree courses emphasizing farm
mechanics, power machinery, farm
machinery, mill work and Industrial
engineering in all it's phases.
The course in chemical engineering
row offered will be continued and
strengthened with special emphasis
placed upon the industries, for exam
pie, paint and varnish industries, sugar
and beet factories, canning industries
etc.
