290 MICHIGAN STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 



SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF AGRICULTURAL 



SCIENCE 



PRESENTED BY DELEGATE PRESIDENT HENRY PRENTISS ARMSBY 



The Society for the Promotion of Agricultural Science extends 

 to the president, trustees, and faculty of the Michigan Agri- 

 cultural College its congratulations upon the completion of 

 fifty years of notable service to the cause of agricultural educa- 

 tion. 



It recalls with pride the fact that one of its founders, and its 

 first president, Dr. W. J. Beal, was and still is a professor in the 

 Michigan Agricultural College, and that many of its most 

 distinguished members have been graduates of that institution 

 and members of its faculty. 



That the achievements of the half -century just closed may be 

 but the prelude to more magnificent deeds in the half-century to 

 come is the confident hope of this society.
