The re~orts of members of t he Facul t y wer e r eceived and ordered filed .
Upon call of committees , t he committee on Lands and Grounds rendered the foll owing
report , whi ch upon motion was adopted:
Your committee spent most of t he time during adjournment in visitj ng t he several
buildi ngs and in noting their conditi on, as well as ~hat of t he grounds.
We find the property commendably well kept , but suggest need of repairs in places ,
and especially do we call attention t o the steps entering the State Laboratory . A
few dollars expended in new steps would ereatly improve the appearance and the safety
of the approach .
The gener al, building used by the veterinary d e~artment , a wooden struct ure, is too
small and is not in keeping with the general scheme of colJege buildings, nor i s ' t
commensurate with the importance of the work expec~ed of that department .
In. t his connection your committee desires t o impress upon t he Board t he importance
of investigating the practi cability of purchasing near-by gr ounds, which w'll s on
be absol utely necessary in the natu al gr owth and expans of the institution •

The corrunittee on hechanic rts made the foll ovdng report, and the same was read and
adopted, to- wit :
Ke your committee on Mechanic Arts beg leave to make the following repDrt :
Ive f i nd the buildings of .the boiler house, blacksmlth shop, and foundry in a very
bad conditi on , and they need innnediate att enti on . t will be a matter of economy
t o make the necessary cnanges and impr ovements in conformit y with the r eport made
by Professor \'iilmore to Doctor C. C. Thach . The costly ,and valuable boil er is
deteriorating in value an account of its exposure, and will continue to do so unless
plans are adopted t o reli eve the situation .
We find the laboratory in Broun Hall is without equpment that i s very necessar~ . to
get t he full and valuable service frim the building as was the original int ent ion .
The room is not of much value without something to work with . We find some apparatus
on hand , but inadequate for the demands . It will require an appropriation to move
and erect this apparatus and put this l~boratory in pr ope~ conditi on, even with the
pres~nt machinery . .
;ve find the pt'es enti' gas supply. to.-be more expensi va than necessary, as well as inadaCluate
for the needs of the college . On consulting ' "nt h rofessor Wilmore, we fi d
that more satisfactory and chea ex resuJts can be had by installing a gas producer
plant , whj ch is being adopt ed by some of the leading institutions .of t he country .
~ stimates have been submitted to the proper authorities .
I

vie find that additional equipment f or the machine shops ver y desir abl e and necessary
in order to carry out the mission for which they were erected . The new ideas and
l at er designs of machines shaul d rer.lace that whi ch has been operating for fifteen
years or more .
espectfully sUbmitt ed,
(Si gned) H. S. Har tin, Chairman

Your conrnitt ee eg l eave to re art t hat they have examined the r epor t of t he Treasurer

The Commit t ee on Course of ' ~ udy and Library submitted the following report, and the
same was adopted :
We your committee beg leave to report that for lack of t ime to examine t he cour se of

RULES AND REGULATIONS
, .
I recommend the formal adoptioq by the Board of Trustees of the 'foltllowihg general
plan to govern the .whole of the ocal experiment work, this being the plan agr eed
upon by the President and Director when the work was begun in February, 1911 :
Assistants to perform most of the local wor k r equired by thi s law are to be appointed
by the head of each department char ged ~~th the work under the local exPerinlent law,
on approval of such a ppointment by the President and 0irector .
350
"Records for work and expenditures shall be kf)pt in auch a form that the Dir ector of .
the ~eriment Station can make a full and complete report at the end of each year
on all work in progress or completed, .and of -the nature of all expenditures under
this law.
The .Director oJ the Experiment Station is authorized to expend, with the approval
of the President, tor the purchase of a stencil mailing outfit, and for a multi graph
as muchof the funds arising uncte~ all of these items for the period between January 1
and February 15, 1911. . ,
"The Professor of School Agriculture is re.cognized as the acting head/ of the agricultural
extension work of the Station, the funds of which shall be used in part for
defrayipg th~ entire trav~ling expenses of the representatives of anT department while
epgaged in extension work. Assignments of assistants to extension duties shall be
made by the head of each department. Each head of a department shall decide in partic~
ar cases whether he himself or one of his assistants 'shall -represent the department
in a given public meeting or other lines of extension activity.
"All matters connected with publications of &nT character will be under the immediate
charge of the Director of the Experiment Station."
. . .
Calendar Year: Since the appropriation for local experimental work is made by calendar
years, I recommend that the Board approve ~d adopt this first. budget of the
. calendar year 1911, and also for the budget year 1912, 80 that tbere may be no halt
in tbis work in the early months of 1921, and so that plans for the entire crop
y~ar OS 1912 can be made before the crops are planted throughout the state.

Work: The grade of the work of the student body as a whole continues to be of exce~-~ rent quality. As indicated above, -th.e average age of the students is mature, and a
large majority: of them are her.e with a def1nit: practical- purpos4J, -ttMt 1s, to 1'it
themselvee .rOl"' rente~g' ~pon some special' professiOn. The cresult or. this rixed ,:pro-;

a seriousness ancL persiatency of -application not' always ~o:und attendant ~ the pur-
8uj,~ . of educat.-icn of a gi!meral nat.lIra. 1he' demands tor our students in all fieldff of
scientific Wbrk· are. of a JaUch greater danand than our supply. This baa beetl inc reaa- Q
ingly so in regard to men connect13d with all the depa.rtments of agriculture. The
field ia wlite to' tne harvest and !.the laborer.s ..ar.e tew. Our 'Preparatory school'S are
doing- all in their . power , but..J.t -,:et"'f-.remains an ibdisputable ,tact. that the large maSs
of the yO\lth ·tJlroughout ,th -.1!Ural r~g1ons fO! our state are ' ill prepared endJunable to
avail theii:(s--elv:es of accurate scientific. training • . This oond1tion, however, ' is ilnprovin.
g gradually from. year to, year . .In ,this institution, students 'are not. ailowed ,to cut·
their ;recitatlol;ls.. DailT report.s ~re madj by each pr otessor ,.nd ~ iDstractor, and unex.-
cused' absen{:es ar.e duly punisbed.. .Tw.o general roll c"us occur d,a1ly. . ' .1. • r •
.. ' .:. . .
Discipline: As a whole, tbe con-'uct ot the !students throughout the: year. has' beeR
excellent. Fl"OIIl wide obaervation and reading, I . think. I speak acivisedly when laay
that the, general -behavior of thestlilclent bod): o!j ,the, institution is ot the verr ' best .
Of couree, we have our difficulties . There is a certain per cent of youth that is
thouthtl ess, and .. minimum per.cent that 18 reeklesa, but gentl_an~ demeanor, , c10s~
app-lf1cation to studies, and praiseworthy .standards and .ideals. chara.cteri_ _. . the .. large '
mass ot 'the student body. During the ,..ear, tw~nt,.-five student._ hive beel). dismissed
or required to withdraw from the institut~On • . There has been .some d1Uiculty"w r ....
gard to the use of intoxicating liquors, but that was. dul.J' ctl.eked. by the .pplication
of wholesome discipline. One of the most objectionable teatures of recent college
lUe ' baa ' been th, growth , of a practice mO)fll as "'bazing. II " I11 m&DY' instances. this
seems to be merely a torm of horse play and pranking, which' has become qU1'-- ·preYalan.t
throughout the colleges of the land, and is incideat to J'OUth .. and uncultured adults.
From careful investibation I beleve that it can be etated with accuracy that there is
less of this form of misbehavior in this institution than in • large number of colleges.
The . insti tution puts its unqualified cQndemnatioD. on the PFactice and take8J every..~ .~,
measure to prevent such conduct. On'l,one occasion during the year tour students of the
jun10r ol.s s were indefinitelY sU$pended, and later; .l.Tenaemb.rs , of ~ tbe aenior
class were d.1acipl ine;, two being dismissed tor pa-ticipation in ao-calledJbasing. ' Lt
is sincerely to be hoped that this regrettable practice can be entirelY eradicated. ' _
Health: The health of the student boQy tor the . year· has been up to the average good
standard. However, we have 'had a certain per cent of mild diseases, such as grip, etc .
but w~ have escaped ,~y general epidemic ot )t he usual di,eaae8 incident to youth .
There have been soas 'violent cases- of. pneumonia, but theee were all carefully ·treat ed
by t he surgeon, and recovered. Several ' operations have b~eft performed for appendicitis"
the diagnosis 'Qeing alwqs prompt· and precise. The eurg_CD reports dailY,
7 :45 .... m-.. , at the ottice of th. President . . It .. uy be noted ·that his tenure . ot otfice
now covers 39 year.,' by for the l ongest tenure ot any college officer. I take :'great
pleasure in testitying to the Wise- and highly scientitic _ s.rvic~ ot tbis ~ otticer in
the :er oteei ion ot the health of so large a body of young mea. ..' - :l.
Military: I also commend the operation at our Ililitary department. There is abroad
in the land-grant colleges a spiiit of unrest concerning the feature of our education.
This, I take it, has been largely due to friction between the officers of the college
I
L
357
and the 'army officer deta1l!d, this being notablY so in five Sout hern institution • •
The Qpetati~ in this institut~on , however,> il quite satisfactcr, ~ The requirement '
for drills io not enQugh to 19~ertere with the t echnical education Qt . the large • q
number ot mature young men who attend the institution, and ,.et" at the same time,
it ofters a~ompul8017 _ fo~ of exercise Which is highly 'beneticial. The training
for citizen l0101e17 is also ~t great value. Punctuality, promptne~s, and attention
to P'~loD8l appearance are all rimportant elements ot education, and these are inculcated
by a wisely ad~stered military" SJ'ltem. , Tbe-llilit&1"J organization is also
valuaQl' to~ genetal oversight o~er so large a number or students. The 'regimental
review on Saturday morning is, an inspiring spectaale,. one which never wearies even
after many years .ot obsenation. , !'

education in its respective line. Our shops and laboratories are crowded to their
utmost ~apacity,- S1nce ' l87~ something ov~r ?,OOO young men have been ~ucated in
the different departments of engineering, and are scattered broadcast throughout • .
the State and the South. The graduates in the engineering college first gave the i

have been bu1lt by graduates of the .department • . The Protes8o~ ot civil engineering '

Chemistr,y, ~~1,4griculture, (3) Veterinar,y Science, (4) "Botany, ($) Ho~tieUlture
and landscape gardening, (6) .Animal IIidustr,y, and- (7) Ent_omology. ~'! It tsnould not
be forgotten that the work of this staff is of two~fold nature; one, imparting
instruction to etudents, and two, practical work~ the fiel_of -applied agri~ _ ,. T
culture. The possession of the new building !:las stimul,at.ed! interHt :itt agri~ultural
instruction , and this interest can still further be stimulated by providing, as
soon as ~r.cticable ; for. the further equlpaent at 'the ~epartment : ' It is 'ver,r gpgtifying
to rep9~ a large increase in attendance in the classes of agricult~re, the
number b~ins now 256, the ab1l1ty and capacity of the *8riCUltural s~ud~~s rank~
ing among tb« very best ~ the .institution. · Ttte various pr-etessional positions '
of value now ,offering in all lines of agriculture, together .with the increased '
attractiveness and profit of farming,. ~e dPaldng our talent. ,-omig men more and
more into agricultural ' a:tudies., Tae marked improvement in ·the lIuJthod.s ot agricul-ture
is indicated by: the advance o£ Alabama in 'ten Tears from the poaitiou ' of
twentieth to fourteenth rin.rank of agricultural' productiveness of the states of
the Union. The average yield of corn in Alabama in 1909 was 13.5 bu-shels 'per acre;
for 1910,. 18 bushels per acre, or a total 1n~rease or twent~m111ion bush~l~. 1
am constrained to believe that the agencies sent in motion by the Alabama agricultural
college and eaperiment station have been important factqrs in bringing about
361
this gr eat result. For t hirty-ei ght yea r s I have been f&m1liar with the operation
of these agencies , and yea~ by. year , I have seen prejuQices fade away, and the
methods r idiculed today, adopted with great profit tomorrow. -
Chemistrt: The College Department of Chemistry i8~ the largest in the South. The
classes a.re immense, but .Vith a large staff of t.eachers, personal. superviSion is

The high school movement is one of great importance to the State, and valuable
assistance has been rendered by our institution in connection therewith. It should
be mentioned in this connection that many of the gounds ot the state high schools
have been beautified through: the aid of' 'the professor in charge of our department
of horticulture. Precise plans for planting trees, grasses, shrubbery, flowers,
etc., and for tae laying out of playgrounds are furnished by our department ot
hor t iculture, and many ot the Benools ha"Ve' availed themselvesc.ct' the privilege of
sec,uring this assistance from the col1ege'~'" Of couree, this work is onerous, and
is done at considerable outlq of energy and time.
It bas been a great pleasure, in this ~8ctlon, for the department of mechanical
drawing and machine deaign to furnish the state department a large number of blue
