_ . _ \ ~ . _ I ~ » V J l have the honor to submit to you to—day my annual report
2sz ‘ ' ‘ i i _ v . , . on the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky. The
.'. -. j ' i. ‘ ‘ ’ . ~ I. i year just closing has been the most prosperous in the history of
' 7 v ‘ ‘ i ‘_ . i the College. Its matriculation list reaches four hundred and i
f ‘I . i ’ i _ eighty. This does not take into account many who entered pro-
. ‘ - ~ ' visionally and after a short time withdrew. The increased
' ..i s - attendance I ascribe to two causes, viz: The improved financial

-' i i l ' , . 'V i - an agent in the lield with instructions to visit the section of coun—
‘ _ - ! try traversed by the L. & N. Railroad and some of its branches.
‘ - »- ‘ ' i ' . . I If a suitable man can be found to do like work in Eastern Ken—
’ i i -. ' . - i ' tucky I will have that part of the State visited also.
‘ ' , ' . » ‘ The general health of our student community has compared
T ' . V . very favorably with that of preceding years. \Vhile there has
. _, i _ ' been some sickness, principally measles and grippe, there has
‘ 'i ‘ , - ‘ . happily been no consequent mortality. \Ve endeavor to give such
