STATE BOARD OF AGEICULTUEE. 



SECOND TEEM.— Beginning July 12, 1875. 



All the classes have had regular exercises in compositions and declamations. 

 The Senior and Junior clas.ses have prepared original orations, and delivered 

 them before the whole body of students. 



Alternating with the orations of the Seniors and Juniors, addresses have been 

 given to the students on Wednesday afternoons, as follows : 



March 10.— Prof . Beal : Physical Culture. 



April 7. — Pres. Abbot : Manners and Habits. 



May 5.— Dr. Kedzie : The Soil. 



May 19.— Prof . Cook : The Eye. 



July 21. — Pres. Abbot : Manual Labor. 



Aug. 4. — Dr. Kedzie : Character Developed by Difficulties. 



Aug. 18.— Prof. Fairchild: The Poet's Place in the World's Workshop. 



Sept. 1.— Prof . Cook : The Silk Worm and Silk Culture. 



Sept. 23. — Prof. Beal : The Horticultural Department of the College ; its 

 Plans and Aims. 



Oct. 6. — Hon. E. E. Trowbridge : Varied Industry the Policy of the Farmer. 



Oct. 20. W. S. George, Esq. : The Almighty Dollar. 



The instructions in practical agriculture met witli some interruption, conse- 

 quent on the resignation of Dr. Miles, the 24th of March. His instruction in the 

 College for more than fourteen years has been marked by thoroughness, and by 

 the interest it always awakened in the classes. We are sure it will be remem- 

 bered with gratitude by all the students who have ever been under his charge, 

 and we are glad he is to continue, even though no longer with us, his investiga- 

 tions and instructions in agriculture. 



June 1, Mr. A. B. Gulley was api:)ointed professor of agriculture in i^lace of 

 Dr. Miles, and at once entered upon duty, and has, so far as the time permitted, 

 made up to the classes the instruction lost by the resignation of Dr. Miles.
