fessor of landscape architecture in Harvard University, Dr. W. E. 

 Castle, professor of zoology at Harvard, Dr. C. W. Gay, professor 

 of animal husbandry in the University of Pennsylvania, Prof. G. E. 

 Day, of the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph, and Prof. F. H. 

 King, formerly in charge of agricultural physics in the University of 

 Wisconsin. 



There will be two lecturers from abroad: Dr. E. von Tschermak, 

 professor of plant breeding in the Royal Imperial Agricultural Col- 

 lege at Vienna, and Prof. J. C. Ewart, of the University of Edin- 

 burgh, Edinburgh, Scotland. The former is widely known for his 

 investigations in cereal breeding and the latter for his work upon the 

 principles of animal breeding, including telegony. These two dis- 

 tinguished foreigners will add interest and scope to the courses in 

 plant and animal breeding. 



The sessions of the school will open July 4 and continue to July 29. 

 Public opening exercises will be held on the evening of July 6 in the 

 neAV agricultural building of Iowa State College. It is expected that 

 several associations, representing diiferent lines of agricultural in- 

 struction and rei^earch will hold meetings in connection with the 

 school, probably immediately before or after the session. 



Arrangements have also been made to hold another session of the 

 Graduate School of Home Economics at Ames during the sessions of 

 the Graduate School of Agriculture. One matriculation fee will 

 admit students to both of these schools. 



The vast agricultural interests of the region in which this session 

 of the school is to be held, and the unparalleled prosperity of agri- 

 culture throughout the Middle West, will afford to those Avho attend 

 this session many opportunities for observations of unusual interest 

 to students of our agriculture. The recent broadening of the scope 

 of agricultural research, and the rapidly awakening interest in 

 broader problems of agricultural economics and country life, will 

 also contribute to the interest and success of the school.
