IIEI'OKT OF THE DEAN OF AOIMCULTUKE. 



To J/re«id('nt F. S. Kedzie: 



This year wituessed a more complete retnni to normal coiiditious fol- 

 lowing the disturbances in agricultural educational work resulting from 

 the war. In view of the fact that the influences of war conditions tended 

 to divert the minds of young men toward lines other than agriculture, 

 the freshmen enrollment of 210 was considered to be very gratifying 

 indeed. The graduating class of i;>2 contained a large number Avho re- 

 turned to complete the course after having dropped out at some tiiue 

 during the war ]»ei-iod. The graduate school was reestablished during 

 the year and is again progressing on a very satisfactory basis. The in- 

 stitution is well e«|uii>ped to extend this line of work which deserves the 

 sui»[)ort of the institution as a whole. My own ])articii»ation in instruc- 

 tion work consisted in i>T-es<>nting tlie subject of farm management to 

 short course men and juniors and the subject of agricultural development 

 to freshmen.
