REPORT OF THP: DEAN OF AGRICULTURE. 



To President F. S. Kedzie: 



During this college year the greatest depreciation in prices of farm products 

 occurred. This tended to diminish the general interest in agriculture and 

 depress educational efforts along this line, because of lack of funds to support 

 young men and women in educational institutions. Despite this fact our 

 enrollment was very gratifying indeed, including a total of 737 in the reg- 

 ular four year course and 500 in the special f^hort courses, making a total of 

 1237 for th3 year including the summer session. Continued interest was 

 manifested in the re-establishment of graduate study. During this year I 

 participated in presenting a vocational guidance course to freshmen during 

 the winter term and also the subject of Farm Management for short course 

 students.
