The University year which ended June 30, 1921, represents 

 an important period in the life of the College of Agriculture. 

 In its teaching work the College has had the best year in its 

 history. More students of college grade were registered and 

 taught than in any previous year. The teaching has been 

 inspiring and effective. Students of agriculture have worked 

 diligently and have ranked high in scholarship in comparison 

 with their fellow-students of the other Colleges of the Uni- 

 versity. There is good reason for believing that the people 

 of the State have greater faith than ever before in agricul- 

 tural education as a preparation for the business of agriculture. 

 A summary of the registration of students in the College 

 of Agriculture for the ten-year period which ended with the 

 University year, June 30, 1921, shows in a general way the 

 growth of the educational work of the College on the Uni- 

 versity campus. The first column below gives the year; the 

 second, the total number of students enrolled. It is to be 

 noted that in 1919-20 the University admitted a considerable 

 number of students who were unable to comply with the 

 ordinary requirements. This was done to enable former service 

 men to secure vocational training. The result was that the 

 College of Agriculture enrolled 31 students of the subcollegiate 

 grade during that year. As it was found undesirable to con- 

 tinue the practice, during the year 1920-21 no students were 

 admitted who could not qualify for the regular college work; 

 and so the total registration for that year was 8 less than for 

 the previous year. Deducting the number of subcollegiate 

 students, the actual enrollment of students of college grade was 

 95 in 1919-20 ; and the increase for the following year was 23.
