 inary department remains its strongest part, but the equipment in other 

 lines, both as regards instructional force and working material, labora- 

 tories, museums, library, botanical garden, etc., is also complete and 

 fully up to the standard of an institution commensurate with the im- 

 portance and needs of agriculture and allied industries in Denmark.
