the study of physiology and zoology. In senior year a considerable number of elect- 
ives could be offered, one or more of which might be substituted Eor veterinary 
medicine, horticulture and forestry, or history and political economy, so as to enable 
the student to specialize in agronomy, horticulture, zootechny, dairying, farm 
mechanics, vegetable pathology, entomology, etc. In general, however, it is believed 
that the course as here outlined will be satisfactory as providing a liberal education, 
including systematic study of the theory and practice of agriculture, and as a good 
foundation for specialization in agriculture and the sciences related thereto in post- 
graduate courses.
