An event "of outstanding importance
and sig nifiicance', not` alone to Canada
but to. the American continent, was
the celebration in the month of June
of the -semi -centennial sof the fouuding:
of the Ontario Agricultaur•al College at
Guelph, Ontario. It is important as
fixing the early date of the birth of ag-
ricultural edecaction in Canada, and
\
significant in .determining, • tlerough
its present status, its place . in the
modern conception of the Dominion's
than industry. As the premier estab,
lishment of its kind in Canada, as well
as one of the foremost institutions of
agricultural learning on the American
continent the development of the Col-
lege through its fifty years of progres-
sive workcorresponds very largely to
the advancement of the industry of -
farming in the period. The flourish-
ing condition of the College to -day a.nd.
the high pkestige it enjoys in world
agricultural circles reflects, in a very
accurate manner, Canada's position at
the present time in world agriculture:
During the first week of play, 1174,
some thirty-one young men,- the ma-
jority- of then from Ontario farms,
were enrolled as students at the new
ly-formed agricultural college (a single
building, very incomplete as • to equip-
ment), whose future, in the attitude
generally prevailing towards agricul-
tural
ti i '• at that date, educe o was
somewhat in doubt. Expansion follow-
ed upon early success, and the proven
value of agricultural experts in the
everyday work of the farm. Gradual-
ly department .after leulartment was •
added, building after building was
erected, until : to -day, in cornpleieness
of detail and conaprehensiyeness of
training, as well as in thoroughness of
erudition, the Ontario Agricultural
College has won a renowned position.
Elevating the Standard of Agriculture.
The site of the College is gone of the
most beautiful that ccnld have been
selected for an educational establish-
ment, without regard to practicab.ility
and the pursuit of fanning. The C'ol-
lege .grounds comprisdd,e717: acres in
fields, : gardens-, orchards, experiment-
al plots and a splendid campus. There
are upwards of twenty large buildings,
comprising laboratories, dormitories,
library, dining -hall, administration
building, and dozens sof smaller build-
ings, ;including residences, store-
houses, shops, barns, eta. Adjacent to
the College grounds has grown up a
'village community of several hundred
inhabitants.
.The Ontario Agricultural College, as
its name would suggest,' originated. in
a desire to provide trained agricul-
turists for the province and through
this means to elevate the standing of
agriculture and promote the prosper-
ity of provincial farming. It is a pro-
vincial vincial ;governifient subsidies., but in

its work and its fame has travelled far
beyond provincial boundaries!. The
