106. BOARD OP AGRICULTURE. 



The farm connected with the institute serves for practical 

 illustration, as well as the excursions which, from time to time, 

 are taken in the neighborhood, and during vacations, also, into 

 more distant regions. The institute is in want of no auxiliary 

 means of making the theoretical and practical instruction most 

 useful. Among these are the chemical laboratory, erected espe- 

 cially for agricultural investigation, the physical apparatus and 

 the instruments for land measuring and levelling, the collection 

 of minerals and ores, the zoological and veterinary collection, 

 the collection of models and implements, and of wool, the library, 

 the economic botanic garden, the botanical collection and the 

 estate, with the experimental fields and the vineyard. Besides 

 these peculiar means of instruction of the institute, the use of 

 the rich collections and apparatus of the university, the royal 

 university library, botanic garden and natural history museum, 

 is available. 



Students pay an entrance fee of six thalers, and a fee for 

 tuition of forty thalers, or thirty dollars, for the first term. 

 The amount for the second term is thirty thalers, the third 

 twenty and the fourth ten, making the fee for the whole course 

 of two years, one hundred thalers, or seventy-five dollars. 



The lectures embrace a two years' course, the terms being 

 arranged to conform with those of the university. The special 

 plan of instruction is made known each term. The school is 

 designed for those who desire to educate themselves for skilful 

 farmers, and those who devote themselves to the studies of 

 the university, and at the same time wish to become familiar 

 with the operations of agriculture. Students who are entered 

 at the university of Bonn, and enrolled in any of the faculties, 

 can attend the agriculturalj lectures on application to the 

 director. 



Applicants have to bring certificates of good conduct. No 

 proof of specific attainments in elementary school studies is 

 required, but it is desired that, before visiting the institute, the 

 pupil should be familiar with the practical manipulations of 

 farming, and be able to show proof of it. 



On admission, the student is matriculated and enrolled in 

 the faculty of philosophy at the university. By this he acquires 

 all the rights and undertakes all the obligations of the univer- 

 sity students.
