KElHJirr OF Tlll^ DEI'AIJTMICXT OF HOKTICULTUKE. 



To rre^iidciit F. .S. Kedzie: 

 Dear Sir:— 



The work of the department the i)ast year has ly^eii very strenuous, al- 

 though quite .satisfactory, as it has been concerned largely with condi- 

 tions characteristic of a period of readjustment and development. 



It was very encouraging to note at the beginning of the school year 

 that such a large nundjer of young men, who had formerly dropped their 

 studies to give th.eir services to their country in the war, returned to 

 complete their college course. Considering the remunerative wages 

 being offered at the time, this demonstrated their foresight and appre- 

 ciation of tlie education and training they were obtaining at this insti- 

 tution. These young men exhibited ii seriousness and earnestness in 

 their woi-k tliat made it very pleasing to be associated with them, and 

 I am very hapi)y to say tliat at the time of graduation the demand for 

 these young graduates in liorticulture exceede<l the supply. The number 

 of students enrolled in the regular collegiate work exceeded in number 

 any of tlie classes since the beginning of the war as may be seen by the 

 brief summary as presented in the following table:
