450 AGRICULTURE OF MAINE. 



5. They cannot be used for educational purposes with the 

 large classes of students taking agriculture at this Institution 

 except as examples of what ought not to be. 



6. They have been condemned by the following Farmers*

 cattle and horse barns. 



Second: Dairy Building. The present dairy building is not 

 of sufficient size to accommodate the students now taking the 

 courses in dairying. A certain amount of dairy work is required, 

 and ought to be, of all students in agriculture, and the college 

 is confronted with the very disturbing fact that if enlarged 

 accommodations are not provided within the next year, either 

 the requirement of some of the courses in dairying as a regular 

 part of the agricultural curricula must be abandoned, or a con-

 requirement. Such action would meet with very serious objec-

 taken by the college unless it is forced to do so. 



From the above statement it can be seen that the need for a 

 new dairy building is a very real need and should be provided 

 for.
