REPORT OF THE DEAN OF AGRICULTURE. 



To President J. L. Snyder: 



The past year has been a pleasant and ])iosperous one for the Agiu- 

 cnltnral division. There has been a marked increase in the number of 

 students in both regular and short courses. A detailed statement of the 

 enrollment is given later. There was manifest evidence of better prepa- 

 ration on the part of the entering classes. The percentage of young men 

 from the farms who entered the courses of the division also increased. 

 The percentage of young men attending the short courses who had par-
