On motion of Mr. Vauderford, the report was referred to an audit- 
ing committee of three, appointed by the chair, consisting of Messrs. 
Vanderford, Buckham, and Godfrey. 
The Chairman. I will call now for the report of the Section on Agri- 
culture and Chemistry, to be presented by Mr. Henry, of Wisconsin. 
Mr. Henry. The Section on Agriculture and Chemistry occupies so 
large a part of the proceedings of this body that I have no special 
report to make, believing that the time can be better occupied by the 
general session. There was no special work before the section. 
There were no reports from the sections on College Work, Botany 
and Horticulture, and Entomology. 
The Chairman. The remaining section is that on Mechanic Arts. 
Mr. Washburn, of Rhode Island. I have no special report to make 
for the Section on Mechanic Arts. I do not know why this section was 
not included on the regular programme. I presume the report was not 
received in time, for which I am sorry. I did not know but that it was 
because a section on mechanic arts has no business in an association 
of American agricultural colleges, and I do not suppose that it has. I 
think it really ought to be an association of American agricultural and 
mechanical colleges. I will say, however, that we have a very good 
programme, and I invite all who are interested in the mechanic arts to 
attend our session. 
The Chairman. This report will be received without formal motion. 
The reports have been surprisingly brief. 
Mr. Armsby, of Pennsylvania. I dislike to appear in the role of a 
critic, but with your permission I wish to read a short section from the 
constitution on the duties of officers: 
(3) The chairman of each section shall make, at the annual convention, a report 
to the Association in general session of the progress during the preceding year of the 
suhject or subjects appertaining to his section, and such reports shall not occupy 
more than twenty minutes each.
