GENTLEMEN: On behalf of the Senate of the University of 

 Amsterdam I beg to tender you our best thanks for your kind 

 invitation extended to our university to be represented at the 

 celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the institution. Much 

 to my regret I have to inform you that not one of the members of 

 the Senate is in a position to avail himself of your invitation, and 

 to convey to you our fraternal greetings and our best wishes on 

 this auspicious occasion. We sincerely hope that the past half- 

 century may prove to be the earnest of a glorious future, and 

 that Michigan Agricultural College may continue to be a power- 

 ful factor in the development of agriculture in the United States 

 of America. 



With the cordial greetings of the University of Amsterdam 

 to your College, I have the honour to be, yours faithfully,
