Excerpt from Thirty-First Annual Report of the Massachusetts Agricultural College: October, 1893
His Excellency the Governor and the Honorable Council.
In obedience to the requirements of chapter 440, section 5, of the Acts and Resolves of 1889, we herewith present the Thirty-first Annual Report of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. Being made in October instead of January, it will consequently cover only nine months of the fiscal year, and three months of the new school year. We would earnestly recommend such legislation as will enable us to make this report December 31 instead of October 15, for the following reasons: That an agricultural college cannot close its experiments, records and expenditures before the close of the year; that endless confusion would arise in the treasurer"s report from carrying over the receipts and expenditures from one year into another; and that the State Experiment Station does not close till December 31, and our relations with it are so close as to require this change.
The year elapsed has been perhaps the most prosperous one in the history of the college. It is a noticeable fact that in times of financial depression the numbers of college students increase rather than diminish, and this year has been no exception to the rule. The great universities have been full to overflowing, and never has there been so large an attendance here. The entering classes numbered sixty-six and the full enrollment reached two hundred and fourteen.
