Connecticut dairying — the making of butter and the pro- 

 duction of milk. 



We are prepared to teach the most sanitary and economic 

 method of producing and deHvering milk. In Connecticut 

 there are two kinds of butter-making: the making of butter 

 in private dairies, and the making of butter in creameries. 

 Therefore our dairy building is in two departments, one de- 

 voted to power machinery such as you will find in model 

 creameries, and the other devoted to hand machinery; so that 

 the student who comes to take our course in this specialty may 

 choose what he will have, that is, whether he will have train- 

 ing in creamery practice and management, or training in 

 private dairy practice and management. 



A short course in pomology has been projected. Of 

 course you know that is a subject difficult to teach in winter, 

 but we shall undertake to teach the science and principles 

 of pomology, and give to business men and fruit growers who 

 cannot afiford the time at any other season of the year a chance 

 to acquire the principles of fruit growing, and to become 

 familiar with the best literature on the subject, with the best 

 and most practical thought. 



An educational institution which does not educate, of 

 course, is a contradiction, an anomaly, and good for nothing 

 to the people; therefore, I wondered how it would be pos- 

 sible to bring to your notice such portions of all the education 

 we have as you could reach, and not lay up before you a fine 

 array of kinds of education that you would feel you could not 

 possibly hope to get. Consequently, this winter we are 

 ofifering ten-day courses of study in dififerent subjects. Mem- 

 bers of the faculty were requested to look over what they had 

 at hand to see if they could not arrange some ten-day courses 

 of study. I hope that every one of you who has not received 

 them will send very soon for copies of this circular in which 

 you will find these different courses described. We have 

 twenty ten-day courses. You can leave home on Monday, 

 and you can get back a week from the next Saturday. You 

 can come up to the college and get a rest from your custom- 

 ary routine, taste of our college life, see what we are doing, 

 and convince yourselves, not from a hasty examination of 

 fifteen minutes or fifteen hours, but from an experience of ten 

 or fifteen days; convince yourselves regarding the scope,
