CHAPTER XLIV.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGES.1

NEW BUILDINGS AND CHANGES IN THE COURSE OR IN THE METHODS OF INSTRUC

TION (FROM PRESIDENTS' REPORTS).

The

President William Leroy Broun, Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College.Among the 280 students enrolled were 61 from other States. No change in the method of instruction. Much attention is given to laboratory instruction, the college being provided with 10 laboratories in the different scientific departments. For the study of electricity there is the usual experimental lecture course and a full course in electrical engineering, the laboratory of which contains 15 different dynamos. Compressed air is used in the mechanical engineering department. President John L. Buchanan, Arkánsas Industrial University.-No material changes have been made, but there have been some important additions to the course. chair of economics and sociology was filled by the clection of a competent professor and a four years' course of instruction in those subjects provided. The art department was duly organized, and a convenient and commodious studio, with a partial outfit, provided for it. Fuller and more definitely outlined courses in agriculture and horticulture have been introduced. The work of the session suffered somewhat from the war excitement. A number of students volunteered, some of whom, as well as a number of former students, received appointments as officers, owing principally to their military training received here.

A handsome plant or green house, with a room adjoining which serves as a botanical laboratory, has been erected, at a cost of about $2,500, and furnished with a largely increased collection of plants. Two new office rooms have been added to the experiment station building, costing in the neighborhood of $1,000, and a seed and tool house erected on the farm, costing about $200. The plant house and seed and tool house are of wood on a stone foundation; the office rooms are of wood veneered with brick. A sewerage system, with lavatories, toilet rooms, and bath house has been constructed, at a cost of $2,000. The university shops have received an addition to their equipment in the way of machinery and tools, costing between $5,000 and $6,000. The department of civil engineering has been given more commodious quarters and valuable additions have been made to its outfit. The apparatus of the electrical laboratory has been increased by purchases amounting to nearly $1,000— an X-ray outfit, two Kelvin voltmeters, an AC-DC polyphase motor generator, etc. Thus the university is better equipped than ever before for both theoretical and practical instruction. The buildings are in excellent condition and the grounds have been improved.

President Martin Kellogg, University of California.-A college of commerce has been established and will begin its courses at once. Prof. George Davidson, formerly of the Coast Survey, has been appointed to the chair of geography.

What are called the "affiliated college buildings" [professional schools] in San Francisco, built by a State appropriation, have been completed at a cost of $175,672.

At Berkeley several buildings have been erected, at a cost of $55,318, namely: An agricultural hall (to replace the one burned), which has a complete equipment for the agricultural college; a two-story and basement building for the botanical department, with laboratories; a hall for philosophy, including experimental psychology; a large building for zoology (freshman), physics, mechanical drawing, and industrial art. A site for the Wilmerding Trade School has been given by citizens of San Francisco, and valuable additions, chiefly gifts, have been made to the library. The electrical department is fully equipped in the hall of mechanics.

President Alston Ellis, Colorado State Agricultural College.-The college year of thirty-nine weeks, divided into three terms of thirteen weeks each, closed with the exercises of commencement day, Thursday, June 2, 1898. The year was characterized by steady progress in all the departments of instruction. There was nothing connected with the administration of the college that was particularly marked or especially distinguished from that of the year preceding. Experience has shown that the strengthening of the course of study by the addition of another year's work was a step in the right direction. The standard of scholarship has been raised and the work of the institution has reached more to the dignity of what is known as collegiate instruction. It is not supposed that the total revenue received from the State for the support of the college within the next year will exceed $38,000. Fortunately, however, the receipts from the land income fund, those arising from the Congressional act of 1862, are gradually increasing. It is fair to estimate that the increase of receipts from the last-mentioned source will make up the loss of revenue received under the operations of the mill-tax law. The commercial department that was established two years ago now enrolls about 80 students. Its course covers a period of two years and presents a great deal of scholastic work in addition to the peculiar work for which commercial colleges usually make more or less adequate provisions.

The college buildings and grounds have been kept in a good state of repair, and many improvements of a minor character have been made in the interior of the various buildings on the college grounds. At this writing the new chemical laboratory is completed and in use. The total cost of the building, including heating, lighting, and plumbing appliances, is $27,387.76. Of this amount a little over $6,000 had been paid prior to June 30, 1897. Probably the architect's fee and cost of supervision, amounting to about $1,300, ought to be added to the cost of the building as above reported.

President G. W. Flint, Storrs Agricultural College.-The course is now four years in duration, with full lines in English, agriculture, horticulture, mathematics, veterinary science, physiology, mechanical drawing, and work in wood and iron. No new buildings added, though several are needed. Two cottages for dwellings were fin ished December 1, 1898.

President George A. Harter, Delaware College.--The principle of freedom in the election of studies without destroying educational coherency has been introduced into the junior and senior years of the several courses. The call for volunteers by the President caused 7 seniors, 7 juniors, 3 sophomores, and 2 freshmen to respond, all being made commissioned or noncommissioned officers in the First Delaware Regiment; but as the work of the senior class was practically finished, the members of the senior class who entered the military service were graduated with the rest of the class.

President W. F. Yocum, Florida Agricultural College. The department of agriculture, which for some years had been combined with that of chemistry, has become a separate department in charge of a competent professor. The mechanical course of study has been much strengthened and new apparatus purchased. A complete course in electrical engineering will be inaugurated at the beginning of the next year. No important additions have been made to the grounds or buildings.

President H. C. White, Georgia State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts.— The condition of the college is entirely satisfactory, and its progress during the past year all that could be expected or desired. A thorough examination of the college
