THE CONNECTICUT MAGAZINE.

10 Cents a Copy.

The Connecticut Agricultural College.

"Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay.
Princes and lords may flourish or may fade,-
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country's pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied"

It has been truly said that "Education is a debt that the present owes to the future," but all are not agreed as to just how that debt shall be paid. Those, however, who have given the subject the most careful thought, and have studied intelligently the history of the past, concur in the opinion that the education to be projected into the future, the education that shall preserve and entail free institutions, should be directed by minds the best equipped in mental and moral science, literature and art, mathematical knowledge and mechanical skill, and physical law in the realm of nature. In this the Federal Government takes the initiative, and asks the States to build and equip colleges which shall give to the "Industrial Classes" not only practical education but also the skill to use it, and with her request gives the State of Connecticut annually by the "Land Grant " act of '62, over $6,000, and by the Morrill act of '90, $25,000 after this year; but conditionally, each fund for specific uses and nothing else.

The Connecticut Agricultural College, at Storrs, Connecticut, in the town of Mansfield, is the college established by the State to meet conditions, on which the Federal funds may be received and used. All students of the State over fifteen years of age of both sexes are entitled to the privileges of this college, so far as its equipment will meet the demands made upon it.
