STATK DAUv'V ASSOCIATION. 023 



-' The Secretary: I will s:iy that the i-ooins lu-i-e at tlic TTiiiv(>rsity are 

 opeu and available at any time the Association wants to come here. I 

 feel we did not get the support from the dairy people of this commnnity 

 that would warrant us in invitiuK yon to come l)ack next year, and I 

 believe we can do more good by going elsewhere for another meeting. 



Mr. Schlosser: As the name of Plymouth has been mentioned, this 

 Association may be interested in the size of the town, as to railroad con- 

 ditions and the hotel accommodations. As far as the city is concerned, 

 Plymouth is big enough to accommodate this Association. It is the 

 county seat of Marshall County; it has three railroad lines, viz., the Lake 

 Erie and Western, Vandalia. and also the Pennsylvania. It is one of the 

 nicest towns in northern Indiana. This Association has never i)een in the 

 northern part of the State. PIa mouth is located in Marshall County, in- 

 the central northern part, and we people are willing to guarantee this 

 Association will have no trouble in securing all that is asked for, and 

 for that reason we are here to ask for the next annual convention. 



The President: This niatter is referred to the Plxecutive Committee 

 with power to act. I understand that President Stone is in tlie room. 

 We would like to have a few words from the I'resident of I'ui'due. 



Mr. Stone: If you turn this meeting over to me you are likely to have 

 a long session. 



The President: Do you see this mallet? 



Mr. Stone: You can't make much impression on (S)tone with a 

 wooden mallet. 



Well, gentlemen and ladies, I am glad of even a few moments to come 

 in here and speak on the subject of Purdue University. If it be your 

 wish, as I understand it, that I may devote a few moments of yoiu' session 

 to that subject, 1 shall b(> glad to take advantage of that opportunity 

 for this reason: I tind that Purdue University as an institution of instruc- 

 tion is not well imderstood by the people of the State. Tliose who have 

 clear ideas of what an institution of learning is, have largely derived their 

 ideas from the older class of colleges, with which Purdue University has 

 very little similarity, and once one has visited Purdue University or some 

 other institution of similar character they will have a clear conception of 

 what we are trying to do here and how Ave are trying to do it. 



I*urdue University represents a new kind of education that has been 

 developing itself slowly, but in recent years with great rapidity through- 

 out the country. Industrial education. Some people say that is not edu- 

 cation at all; that there is no education in training men for their busi- 

 ness. Some people resent that thought. I do, myself, because I believe 

 we strive to educate tlie head and the eye and the hand to do the Avork
