" It is still true to those in terests, but it has a wider range. T he Mor rill Act of 1862, which gave Federal sup port to the college, said that the purpose of these land grant colleges, among other things, was to educate the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life. I like to think that this college belongs partly to the industrial classes of Michigan. " In the first place, the college is a good place for your boy, for your girl. We have a democratic campus. There are many op portunities for self-help, and at least three- quarters of our students are working their way through in whole or in part. Your boy and girl can get ready in this college for almost any pursuit or profession in life. But Dr. Butterfield is by no means neg lecting agriculture. He is blazing a new trail in extension work, one that promises to leave a profound and lasting effect upon the rural life of Michigan. He proposes to revive the old farmer institute idea, which he himself helped to inaugurate in this state 30 years ago, and to combine it with the newer county agent idea.
