Day this year will be held May 80

ed 50 popular with the farmers of the

with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
for those who visit the college that day
The round trip fare from any point in
the State to College Park on Decora-
ton Day will be the average one way

where the rate is not more than So one
way. For those above that amount a
maximum round trip fare of So is set.
President Patterson is working hard
to make the affair greater success than
ever before. A bureau of information
is being established at the college for
the purpose OF having central place
from which information may be given
out H. c. Byrd is in charge of the
work, and any inquiries concerning the
college or any of its departments ads
dressed to him will be answered i'm
Immediately.

year the bureau will be in position to
furnish information to those without or
within the State concerning all matters

sources of any section of the State.
