The COLLEGE was Incorporated by Charter, granted by Her Majesty in Council, March '.'",
1845, for the purpose of affording a Practical and Scientific Agricultural Education to
Students from all parts of the Kingdom.
DIPLOMA. The College Diploma— which admits those holding it to the position of Graduate, under the title of Member — is obtained at the end of a two years' course by those who pass a satis- factory examination in Agriculture, Chemistry, and any other one subject selected by the Candidate.
Instruction in Agriculture is given by Lectures and daily Practical Classes on the Farm. The Agricultural Course of Instruction thus embraces not only a scientific discussion of established methods of cultivating diffei-ent kinds of Soils in different climates — of the breed- ing, rearing, and general management of Stock, and of the use of Machinery — but also affords a good illustration of the cultivation of a Cottcswold Farm ; to which, by an arrangement made with the Tenant, the Students have free access. Each Student is expected to keep a Daily Jonrnal of all the operations on the Farm, and to make himself thoroughly acquainted with the Accounts.
Six Scholarships, each of the annual value of £40, and tenable for four Sessions, are open to competition to all who have a Senior First Class Certificate in the Oxford or Cambridge Middle I llass Examinations, and who intend to make Agriculture their profession.
Two Scholarships of the annual value of £20 and £10 are given to the Students who are
lir I and second in their respective classes in each Sessional Examination. Students who
i the Quarter are allowed to compete for these, but are required to obtain for success
