CODE, I gladly accede to the request. to furnish for Tue SekcuLUM some notes upon the colleges which I visited last winter, and especially regarding the work which our Michigan Agriculiural College men are doing in them. Tt is very wholesome for teachers and students to visit other colleges than those where they ate employed, and it was with no less of pleasure than profit that 1 visited seven colleges in five different States during our past winter’s vaeation.
