and at the earliest possible moment to the colleges and stations, if not to the general public. In this way, system and order would be established on a stable foundation, nothing new and useful would escape us, and steady progress would be assured. Surely, something of this kind is devoutly to be wished.

May we humbly hope that these brief and unpretentious hints may possibly reach those in authority and lead to the happy results which we contemplate in submitting them to your consideration?

NEW HAMPSHIRE

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND THE MECHANIC ARTS,

1890-1892.*

At the session of the Legislature of New Hampshire in 1866, an act was passed establishing the "New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts," on the basis of the congressional land grant, and authorizing its location in Hanover and connection with Dartmouth College.

In accordance with this act the institution was organized under a board of trustees appointed partly by the governor and council, and partly by the corporation of Dartmouth College.

The act of Congress, by virtue of which it was established, provides that its "leading objects shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts. in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life."

An act of Congress, approved August 30, 1890, provides an additional appropriation, which for the present year is eighteen

plied to instruction in Agriculture, the Mechanic Arts, the English Language, and the various branches of Mathematical, Physical, Natural, and Economic Science, with special reference to their applications in the industries of life, and to the facilities for such instruction."

At the session of the Legislature of New Hampshire in 1891, acts were passed severing the connection with Dartmouth College and removing the State College from Hanover to Durham; accepting the Benjamin Thompson estate, which was then of the value of more than four hundred thousand dollars, and accumulating at four per cent compound interest will be available as an endowment, in 1910; and providing one hundred thousand dollars to be used with certain other sums in the erection of buildings.

These buildings are so near completion as to make it certain that in September, 1893, the college work will begin at Durham, with shops, laboratories, and other facilities found at the best technical schools.

The necessary transfers will be made during the summer vacation, and will not interfere with the college work of the preceding or the succeeding year.

The college is carrying out the provisions of the acts of Congress in the following ways:

First. It gives a practical and scientific education, which is of use in all the professions and industrial pursuits.

Second. It gives five courses of study:

I. Course in Agriculture.

II. Course in Chemistry.

III. Course in Mechanical Engineering.
IV. Course in Electrical Engineering.
V. General Course.

The General Course is arranged with a series of electives which can be taken by women in place of shop work and surveying.
