education, taking form in agricultural colleges and experiment 

 stations, will not detract from their power and influence, but 

 as co-laborers in educating and elevating the world, are wel- 

 comed in the wide field where man works with body, mind, 

 and soul in the great harvests of the world 



In answer to a long felt want the Storrs Agricultural 

 School at Mansfield was organized in 1881. Messrs. Charles 

 and Augustus Storrs gave a farm of 1 70 acres with buildings 

 and $6,000 for equipment, to give scientific and practical edu- 

 cation for farm life. 



By act of the General Assembly in 1883 this became the 

 Storrs Agricultural College with co-education.. The funds 

 derived from the National Government were appropriated to 

 the college. In 1899 the name was changed to the Connec- 

 ticut Agricultural College.
