An irrigation engineer in that state hasbefore him a problem in which a largenumber of the people are vitally agricultural and mechanical collegewithout some means for instruction in me-chanics would surely be lacking in one ofthe essential elements that should make upthe work of such an institution; and thework of this department was largely to fa-miliarize the students with some of the ele-mentary principles of machinery and thehandling of tools so that when they re-turned to the farm they would not be un-duly ignorant of such things but would beable to make practical application of some ofthe things that they had learned in BIRDINE STANLEY Dean of Women and Instructor in Physical Culture I say that instead of there being any fifteenper cent, or twenty per cent., or twenty-fiveper cent, of the students of the agriculturalcollege of Colorado who engaged in studiesleading up to agricultural pursuits, that everyone of them was pursuing such a course ofstudy. There was no classical course andthere never was while I was connected withthe institution. I will say to you. in conclu-sion, that where these institutions exist asseparate foundations to-day we should be justenough and charitable enough to let themalone, to let each one follow in its owneducational way. If each will cease graspingeffort to gain over to itself what legitimatelybelongs to the other there will be no trouble.
