The agricultural committee sub
mitted the following report:
The members of the Department
of Agriculture are looking for
ward with a great deal of anticipa-
ton to occupying their new quar-
tiers in Wolf Hall at an early date.
The building is model of it's
kind, splendidly adapted to it's
purpose and will serve as an in
spiration for many years to come
to the students in Agriculture as
we'll to those who teach and to
those who conduct researches in
this most important industry of
our state. All of those connected
in any way with Agriculture at
Delaware College wish to express
their keen appreciation and pro-
found gratitude to those who,
through their untiring zeal and
unreuuired love for the College,
have made this magnificent build
ing reality.
Never before in the history OF
our country has Agriculture oc-
cupied such an important place as
at this time. In the great crisis
we are now facing, as much de.
ponds upon those who till the soil
as upon those who stand the brunt
of battle on land or sea or who
toll in the production of MUM
tions. Eighty per cent of the
worlds population is looking tt
Americas agricultural strength
and to Americas military strength
to make the world safe for democ
Iacy.
Wolf Hall, affording as it does
such increased facilities for high
class work, is made avainable a
an opportune time, time wher
Agriculture is appreciated more
than ever before and at time
when we need to utilize every pos
sible resource in order that the
greatest production may be as
sured.
