Abstract
LEEDS.—An anonymous donor has generously signified, through the Chancellor (the Duke of Devonshire), his intention of presenting to the University of Leeds the sum of 10,000l for the erection of the much-needed building for the school of agriculture at the University. This gift will enable the University, in conjunction with the Yorkshire Council for Agricultural Education and with the help, it is hoped, of a grant from the Government, to provide without further delay the headquarters of agricultural education and research for the three Ridings of Yorkshire. The organisation of agricultural teaching in Yorkshire has been taken by the Board of Agriculture as the model for all other parts of England, and the rapid growth of the agricultural courses and the development of research in animal nutrition and other subjects have made it necessary to provide new buildings and laboratories on an extensive scale for the school of agriculture at the University of Leeds. The University Council has provided a site for the new building, and much of the experimental work will be done at the Manor Farm, Garforth.
