As editor of the Gra?ige Visitor, as field agent of the Michigan Agri cultural College, as superintendent of the F a r m e r s' Institutes of Mich igan, and as lecturer on R u r al Sociology in the University of Mich igan, he has come into a thorough knowledge of, and sympathy with, the American farmer, his capabili ties and his needs, such as only the smallest number of men in America possess. T h at he has made the best and wisest use of his oppor tunities, gathering a full garner of observations a n d conclusions, is shown by that he was selected by the Hon. Carroll D.

To M r. Buttertield's many friends at M. A.

N ot only will it maintain the honorable traditions of its past history, but it will reach out ward and forward, keeping step with the vanguard of progress and development in agricultural educa tion. M r. Butterfield's career should be a guide and an incentive to all our students. It is a record of steady, methodical, persistent work, directed toward a definite purpose and guided by a clear head and an honest heart. Since his graduation in j 891, and even before, he has devoted himself and all his energies to a thorough intimate acquaintance with all and the problems of rural life on the social and educational side; and to that end no labor has been too ardu To the earnest and capable work to there is no joy comparable man task worthily the joy of a worthy accomplished. Such the old A l ma Mater wishes and confidently predicts for this one among the fore most of her sons. ir.
