 igan Agricultural College: 



GENTLEMEN: I have the honor of acknowledging the receipt of the invita- 

 tion to have our institution represented at the Semi-Centennial Celebration of 

 your College. We appreciate this honor very highly, but since the date of this 

 celebration comes while our school is still in session it is impossible for any 

 of our professors to leave at that time. We must content ourselves with extend- 

 ing our best wishes for the continued prosperity of your institution. 

 Be assured of our most friendly regard and esteem,
