Abstract
LEEDS.—One of the most important departments of the University is that which deals with agriculture, for, while the University is situated ina great industrial city, it is also the centre of the largest agricultural county in England. A new building for the department is about to be commenced. This has been made possible by the generous help received by the University from several sources. The late Mr. Walter Morrison gave a sum of 10,000l., a donation which, by his wish, remained anonymous during his lifetime; a Treasury grant through the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries of 12,000?., promised in 1914, has been increased to 15,000?.; the Yorkshire Council for Agricultural Education “has o contributed approximately 10,000;.; and there have been numerous other donations. TheUniversity is providing the site and the balance of the money required. The building will be located in University Road, west of the buildings of the Textile (Clothworkers) group, and will occupy a plot 190 feet long by 125 feet deep.
