Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the South-Eastern Agricultural College, Wye, Kent, 1909, Vol. 18 Of an institution of the nature of a technical college there always will be severe critics, who are sometimes opposed to scientific education of any sort, and who often resent the carrying on of an institution on any lines but the most severely practical. Wye College is not meant for the sons of any particular class; all rate-payers or their sons who intend to earn their livelihood by agriculture or horticulture are welcome to its opportunities. It would be a strange condition to insist on, if medical colleges, or engineering colleges, were reserved entirely for doctors' or engineers' sons respectively yet there are those who would insist on an agri cultural college being reserved for farmers' sons, when it is the non-agricultural parent who Wants opportunities for his Son's education, which the agricultural parent is able to and generally does give his son on his own farm, when the son is to follow the business of farming. If the occupations of the parents of students attending the long courses (two years) at Agricultural Colleges in this country or abroad, be analysed, it will be seen how few farmers' sons there are. In addition to the already mentioned reason, time and expense and perhaps a certain amount of prejudice are the operating factors. We have again to record with regret the departure of several members of, the staff, but it is Satisfactory to record that these form no exception to the rule which seems to obtain that departures mean preferment, and the congratulations of the College are due to them for their well-deserved promotion.
