“ Other Colleges of Agriculture are forging ahead, and if New York is to keep pace with the institutions in other states, and if it is to meet its own need for agricultural education, greatly increased facilities will have to be provided for the College of Agriculture, particularly in buildings for laboratory, class room, and experimental work. ”

“ In the New York State College of Agriculture the number of regular long-course students and post-graduate students exceeds considerably that of any of the above institutions, except Illinois, which has only a slightly less number than New York. The higher grades of students would naturally be expected to require more space for their work than the lower grades.
The faculty of the New York State College of Agriculture, now numbering 83 professors, instructors and assistants of all grades, exclusive of student assistants, stenographers and workmen, is larger than that of any other institution. ”
