REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE NEW YORK 

 STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE. 



The demands of the College of Agriculture have grown greatly 

 in the past year, but there has been no growth in the stafif or equip- 

 ment. The expected completion of the new buildings within the 

 next year and the hope of maintenance funds from the State, sup- 

 port the enthusiasm of the staff and the student body and make 

 it possible to hold the College together. The College of Agricul- 

 ture is a most complex institution, touching very many public ques- 

 tions and prosecuting its work all over the State as well as at 

 Ithaca. No other college at Cornell University has such diverse 

 interests. 



The undergraduate student body has made an increase over last 

 year of 22 per cent. The students pursuing agricultural work in 

 1905-6 (not counting students registered in arts and other colleges 

 and taking work in the College of Agriculture) are as follows:
