meet simply present demand. We have already entirely too many build- 

 ings of this class. The institution has reached that period in its develop- 

 ment where only buildings of a substantial character should be erected. 

 The size also should be such as to allow for future growth. 



CURRICULUM. 



The only important changes made in the curriculum during the past 

 year was the addition of a fifth year to the agricultural and women's 

 courses. This places our four year courses on the same plane with the 

 courses leading to the B. S. degree given by other good institutions. 

 A state law compels us to admit students from the eighth grade. Here- 

 after such students will be required to spend five years at the College 

 in order to receive the B. S. degree. Graduates of good four year high 

 school courses will complete the course in four years. 



It has been decided to add a department of forestry. It is the inten- 

 tion to offer a good four year course in this subject and to begin work 

 with the opening of the next school year. 



The largest class in the history of the College was graduated June 20. 

 The baccalaureate sermon was delivered by the Rev. Camden M. Cobern.
