Hatch Experiment Station of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, 



AinJurst. 



Department of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. 



The governing board of tlie Massachusetts Station is tlie board of trustees of the 

 college. The members of the board are appointed by the governor of the 8tate, but 

 the alumni of the college exercise the right of recommendati(ju of candidates, and 

 their recommendation has great weight. The board consists of 14 members by 

 appointment, and the governor, tlie president of the college, the secretary of the 

 State board of education, and the secretary of the State board of agriculture, ex otiicio. 

 The members by appointment hold otfice for seven years, two members of the lioard 

 retiring each year. The duties of the board are to determine the disposition of 

 funds, to elect experiment-station workers, etc. The only comniittee of the board 

 l)rought into special relation with thfe station is the committi'e on the experiment 

 department, consisting of live members. This committee is consulted with regard to 

 the experimental work which the heads of the divisions purpose to undertake, and 

 must give its approval to their plans before the work is entered upon. The commit- 

 ti'e, moreover, has the right to suggest experimental work. As a matter of fact, this 

 right has lieen but little exercised, and tlie approval of plans has been merely formal 

 for the most part. It meets regularly at the cl( )se of each quarter. The f nl 1 1 x iar<l of 

 trustees meets regularly twice annually. It may be called together at other times 

 whenever there is special business demanding attention. ^lenibers of the staff are 

 appointed by the board of trustees and hold office as long its their services are satis- 

 factory. The duties of the director are almost exclusively executive, althougli he 

 may suggest lines of investigation. The by-laws of the station are not in such shape 

 as to be available for publication.
