chanics, vegetable pathology, entoinology, etc. In general, however, it is believed 

 that the course as here outlined will be satisfactory as providing a ]iV>eral education, 

 including systematic study of the theory and practice of agriculture, and as a good 

 foundation for specialization in agriculture and the sciences related thereto in post- 

 graduate courses.
