It gives ‘systematic instruction in Agriculture, and in Useful and Ornamental Gardening. . . . It is, in general, meant for young men who intend to become farmers, gardeners, florists, or landscape gardeners; as well as for those who will naturally be called upon to manage large estates, or who wish to qualify themselves to be overseers or superintendents of farms, country seats, or public institutions.’
Instruction is given in the Theory and Practice of Farming, Horticulture, Agricultural Chemistry, and Rural Hygiene, by a staff of seven instructors.
The students in the school number fifteen.
The degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science is conferred upon graduates.

Cambridge, 1896.
