284 MICHIGAN STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 



NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY 



PRESENTED BY DELEGATE PRESEDENT A. W. HARRIS 



Northwestern University to the President and Board of Control 

 oj the Michigan Agricultural College , Greetings and Con- 

 gratulations: 



Your institution was a pioneer and has continued to be a 

 leader in a branch of educational work, the far-reaching value 

 of which each year is recognized more fully. The American 

 people are an agricultural people and they cherish ideals of 

 popular education. It is therefore doubly needful in this country 

 that agriculture and education should go hand in hand. That 

 institution, then, which, like your own, is training men and 

 women to develop the resources of nature at first hand is doing 

 a service of inestimable benefit both to the nation as a whole and 

 to the cause of education. 



Northwestern University upon the occasion of your Fiftieth 

 Anniversary expresses its high appreciation of what your college 

 has already accomplished and wishes for it a career of even 

 greater prosperity and usefulness.
